Holy Cow, TheWildHustle is a little blown away.

Honestly the best search results page Hustle has ever seen
Seems like a pretty amazing project to be frank.
Now that thats said......wen nostr.
I haven't been on Nostr for a year yet but I use it less than I did at the start. My issues with Nostr are nothing technical. It is good enough. My issue is the value of spending my time there. It has far to much in common with Twitter for me. The signal to noise ratio is not nearly what I want it to be. A ton of low quality content. Very little real intellectually stimulating engagement.
I've also been writing longer form content on Nostr (re-posts from SN) and get virtually zero traction. I think the problem isn't really Nostr as much as it is what I want to get out of it. Or put another way, I have little desire to invest energy in the Twitter style content that dominates Nostr.
Social media to me for the most part is a depressing picture of our society. Even the sliver of it called bitcoiners. A lot of fluff. Short attention spans. Little substance.
Also could be that I'm getting old and grumpy. You asked though.
The 2/2 requires two separate xpubs, where the single seed requires one xpub. For individuals, 2/2 just makes things more difficult when signing transactions and recovering. Frankly, splitting the seed in two parts in the first place isn't something one should labor with. This type of complexity is unnecessary unless you have an exceptional reason.
I'm of the opinion individuals shouldn't use multisig to begin with. If they do, it should be 2/3 multisig where a custodian (3rd party) holds one of the private keys along with all 3 extended public keys — which means yes, they can see and monitor all your transactions. Because like I hinted at above, people seem to forget that with 2/3, 3/5, etc, if you lose one of the private keys, and don't have the wallet file or extended public key saved somewhere for that private key, your bitcoin is lost forever. Because you need all three public keys to construct a valid 2/3 multisig transaction. With this setup, you have shit saved and stamped all over the place, you have all these different singing devices, it gets unmanageable for something that's quite simple. There's a better way.
We range very widely, but Zoomers don't even have a chance of understanding Bitcoin unless they were raised by bitcoiners... AND homeschooled. So I'd skew us towards the late 30's... Old enough to start to understand how the world works, young enough to include all the millennials who grew up in the wake of the financial crisis.
I'm continually surprised meeting boomers who get it. Of course 100% of the time they were already goldbugs before someone introduced them to bitcoin.
My family (unless they start to really piss me off)
Censorship resistance is not the same thing as free speech - those are quite different concepts. Free speech doesn't really apply on Stacker News.
For censorship resistance on SN, there are couple things that could be done:
- Decentralize, e.g.
- allow running instance of SN on your own machine/domain (e.g. imagine this could be app on Umbrel)
- run a mirror on another domain hosted in a different country (e.g. Switzerland or Iceland)
- provide API and allow creation of standalone apps
- Add a Warrant Canary on SN
- Ideally with checkmarks for all countries (so when a warrant comes from a specific country, the checkmark would expire)
- Add onion address for SN
- Allow expiring content (could be similar to 4chan, that's how it gets around censorship...)
- Block reading until users puts in some sats (i.e. censorship resistance by obscurity)
- Allow users marking inappropriate content/spam (after defining such content)
- Provide all SN content over RSS and as data dumps (and host mirrors for the data dumps, or put on torrents)
- Create a backup git repo, e.g. on gitlab
- Create connections with stackers outside of Stacker News to have alternative communication channels
- Start hashing content and provide ways for individuals to check whether content has been modified
@k00b fwiw
While I agree with Darth on many things, running an always-on node can be good for the bitcoin network. Your node is more than a copy of the chain, it also stores and relays unconfirmed transactions (it has a mempool). More mempools means new transactions propagate through the network with greater speed. Also, your node's mempool can help ensure that transactions you believe follow the bitcoin protocol have a better chance to spread (imagine there were people who refused to relay some kinds of rule following txs, you can be a mempool that makes it harder for people to censor). Does it make a huge difference? No. But it makes a difference that you can actually exert some control over, and that is worth it imo.
Sub Privacy and FOSS would fit well, because freedom loving Bitcoiner have to master their personal computing to be really independent. People not mastering their computing will be coerced any update at any inopportune time, against their will and at worst disable them completely.
Broadcasting through your own node can actually be considered a bad practice. The best way to broadcast a transaction is to connect to a node over tor and then disconnect. Using your own node is suboptimal because people can then link your transaction to your node's ip address. https://b10c.me/observations/06-linkinglion/
This is supposed to be the next best thing. You can broadcast your transaction through a 3rd party with much less of a chance to leak your IP because you're going through a relay.
I can only speak for our company, but we purposefully designed the BitBox02 to look like a regular USB flashdrive or a microSD card reader. It doesn't have physical buttons on it and instead uses capacitive touch sensors on the side. There's a small logo on the front, but that could be anything really. The screen is an OLED behind tinted plastic so you can't tell that it's a screen really.

I've walked through TSA multiple times with a bunch of them in my backpack and nobody has ever asked me about it.
