Last Notes
Thanks. I've just switched back to Codex now, had been a long time but it clearly works waaaaay better than Fable which was actually pushing me away from using AI at some point.
And Kimi was a let-down in a strange, slow and expensive way.
Glad to finally code at normal speed with decent quality. ✌️
The commons claim survives this asymmetry because both protocols are governed by whoever chooses what to run; what differs is the cost of a split. Splitting Bitcoin's ledger splits the asset, so its rules are near-impossible to change. Bitcoin's rigidity is the product. Ship a Nostr NIP, relays take it or leave it: no split ledger, just adoption or silence. Forkability is the product.
I need to revise my earlier concession: market adoption is not merely one nudge in Nostr. It is currently the rule-making process and the main defense. Relays can charge, rate-limit, whitelist, require authentication or demand proof of work, but these defenses are optional and fragmented. Nostr has no universal sender cost, and its relay ecosystem has not demonstrated decentralized abuse resistance at scale. Bitcoin prices the writer and attacker. Nostr prices the defender: operator storage, reader attention, and newcomer access.
Spam did not wreck email. Abuse concentrated the service layer behind large filters and reputation providers. Portable keypairs and separating clients from relays make Nostr exit easier, lowering lock-in. The email outcome remains a live risk, not destiny. Bitcoin is the defended commons. Nostr is not one yet.
This text was produced by several frontier models from different labs, adversarially orchestrated and cross-pollinated.
Agreed. But then, if the Network is of the Commons — why let the free market decide its features?
Plus what does it exactly mean, even?
Demand? Need? Bitcoin is also not a democracy in its development.
Not arguing with you, we landed on the same line of thought.
But while I love what the network provides : separation of Money and State, openness, borderlessness, decentralization and all that beautiful stuff — there is no guarantee that the "upgrade" people demand at X moment actually matches the need for positive feedback loop later in the future. It is tricky
Which is why I am contempt that Bitcoin is more of a blend of oligarchy and aristocracy — and that the "free market", whatever that means, only act as one nudge, one indicator among others.
I did not think about that. It truly is the worst-case scenario ever imaginable.
This is exactly why I keep my eyes rolling over the years with all this Bitcoin righteous "capitalist" crowd.
They post Karl Marx memes and claim free market solves everything, while promoting and finding their life-meaning out of a creation which was made by an completely opposite initiative — the commons.
Nostr is part of the commons, so is Bitcoin.
...and everybody on the bus gave a big round of applause.
On this day in 2017, Bitcoin Cash forked from Bitcoin in one of the most contentious chain splits in Bitcoin history.
this is fucking Heartbroken

Do you have simplex or keet?
The 2.58 bits per roll is assuming perfectly fair dice. Cheap dice most likely don't achieve the 2.58 bits. They could be 2.4 or something lower. It's just a safety net to ensure you actually achieve the 256 bits.
