You can build software on protocols like this.

Your analogy fails at the mere fact that no physical harm can result from Nostr not solving this one thing you think is 100% necessary.

The fact that Nostr is up and running and working is the undeniable fact that you don't NEED to solve every single problem known to humankind before you write some lines of code.

I've never denied this. You can also DIY a go-kart and drive it on an open road.

> Your analogy fails at the mere fact that no physical harm can result from Nostr not solving this one thing you think is 100% necessary.

Notice how you've specifically used the term "physical harm" to differentiate from other forms of harm. Harm is harm.

> The fact that Nostr is up and running and working is the undeniable fact that you don't NEED to solve every single problem known to humankind before you write some lines of code.

...Where did I try to deny this? My analogy is very specific in that you can do all of these things, and with enough luck, nothing bad will happen.

The problem with luck is that it doesn't scale well, especially on the open road. I mean, Internet.


Software protocols aren't going to prevent the government from using physical force to will you into obedience.

Not sure what you expect?


The AUTH Nostr Implementation Possibility is not mandatory. You can choose to use it or not, it's not all or nothing. Every single NIP except for NIP-01 is optional.


I wonder what the XMPP camp is up to these days


I sense there was probably some irony in your post. Nevertheless, I'll bite :)

The "XMPP camp" is doing well and very busy: https://xmpp.org/newsletter/

We're lacking a nostr bridge if anyone wants to work on that...


The spec doesn't say relays SHALL NOT talk to each other. YOU made that up. It says they don't talk to each other but it is not prevented.

You can mirror one relay to another easily:

echo '["REQ", "mirror" ,{}]' | websocat wss://source | jq -del '.[1]' | websocat wss://dest


> It says they don't talk to each other but it is not prevented

No protocol can prevent a piece of software from doing whatever they want.

The "shall not" is not absolute: the spec assumes and expects relays not to talk to each other. Nothing prevents you from creating a relay that connects to another relay, of course, but that would not be in the spirit of what Nostr is trying to achieve.


We do have borderless payments and the technology is here. You argue facts with feelings. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t there!


My point is precisely that we do have the technology, so I don't know what you're trying to say.


Could you stop? I’m surprised you aren’t banned


I've been in it for months! I kind of want everything to be rebuilt on top of Nostr. It's not meant to solve every problem, and some things that people say it must have are really "good to have", proof of that is that people are using it without any of that being available.


And it's gone now.


Thanks Twitter Support for including Nostr!


Why isn't he and his girlfriend behind bars already?


The Feds don't arrest you until they have a case fully prepared that they're 99.99% sure will get a conviction.


If you’re prosecuting this guy, all these interviews he’s doing are PURE GOLD, why would you want him to stop?!


He’s the second largest contributor to the democratic party this year


He was smarter than that. He claims he gave just as much money to Republicans. He just used dark money for Republicans because he thought it would look better.
