Bitcoin separates money from politics. Ecash separates money from ego.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 12:23 PM
nostr Does anyone else see what I see? This is supposedly the latest and greatest by the Cloud Signature Consortium, but I see a major problem is they are still combining signatures with web of trust and this combining is a single point of failure. As I mentioned in my earlier… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 12:10 PM
nostr 30 years ago, Mosaic made it easy to read stuff on the internet. Today, #nostr now makes it easy to trust stuff on the internet. Why? Back in the day, the browser separated content from presentation, and the content containers (i.e., websites) were open by default with hyperlinks. Fast… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 11:39 AM
nostr 30 years ago, Netscape Network Navigator was released. It was considered a toy, alongside AOL and Compuserve, but made the internet open and easy to use. Same vibe for #nostr today. We are so early.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 10:50 AM
nostr NOSTR SAFEBOX FUNDING PAGE IS LIVE!!! We are live, folks! A @geyser fund page has been set up to accept payments for the #nostr #safebox project.

I’ve seen this rodeo before with the early internet. Government (except for defence and… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 1:17 PM
nostr I remember that big adrenaline rush I got over 30 years ago when I could ping almost every domain name in the world. Now, I am getting the same adrenaline rush when I can zap almost every nostr event in existence. This is such a big underrated deal on how… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 12:11 PM
Amethyst Doing zap testing - everything shows fine on #Amethyst but no zaps showing on #Damus or #Primal. Any clues? I've been fiddling with relays, zap.army etc, but no success so far. @Vitor Pamplona @miljan @Will… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 12:01 PM
nostr Success!! I sweated a little bit for that last 100k sat zap, but it worked! All these zaps came from #nostr #safebox living on a relay somewhere, accessible only by its nsec.… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 11:09 AM
