You probably missed: Trudeau just passed C11, the most absurd censorship bill in the history of western societies

Google called it akin to North Korea & CCP

Not exaggeration, not an alarm, it’s going live

Zoltan (npub1ww8…nvtp) Zoltan reports of a large internet blackout in Italy 🇮🇹

quoting nevent1q…wtfq

Large-scale Internet blackout in Italy: reports

UPDATE - TIM Telecom, Italy's leading ICT group, says "an international interconnection problem has been detected, analyzes are underway to resolve the problem."

Is this a test of total tyranny or really just a coincidence? I ask it because I quite know how around me few countries work and I don't believe that in Italy could be so shit the network structure to be at once a nation wide Internet blackout. At least a part of the country should work.

ismyhc (npub1ch8…zh48) Nostr DMs with an email-esque client interface? What do you think? One thing is for sure, we love to see new ideas being tried.

quoting nevent1q…vf2v

Someone mentions to me a while back that they’d like a nostr dm client that working kinda like a mail client. Where you can see and use all your mailboxes at the same time.

I started reworking Seer it mimic Apple mail client and the idea now makes to total sense. Can’t wait to show it. 🤙

fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) Fiatjaf thoughts on relays

quoting nevent1q…qntd

Ideally, when clients start to get smart about relay querying, paid relays will be a great source of spam-free content to be queried for when you don't know what exactly you're looking for. Some badly-written thoughts on this here: https://fiatjaf.com/3f106d31.html

stacksatsio (npub10jn…vcrd) Stack sats runs the numbers and looks at costs involved in running a paid relay.

quoting nevent1q…ctgy

I’ve run some guesstimates for pricing Pay2Relay and used #[0] awesome nosbin tool to share here:
https://nosbin.com/30a7df96121ec8d20e32f174819df865c0a6590172c14032f329176343bcc7df

Per my earlier question #[1] I’ve assumed a relay will support 1000 Users per 1vcpu/2GB memory but if anyone has better assumptions on this I can tweak the model.

On those assumptions relays should be charging about 5,775 ⚡️ per User on the relay with breakeven at 67% capacity. Obviously every operators costs will differ as will the service they provide (for example nostr.com.au will also give you free NIP05) but this is a guide for people to understand what costs are needed to run nostr.

Users are probably going to need $20 to have a spam-free experience on paid relays. Ideally this shifts to a 12/month contract model where upfront costs are less and Users can more easily switch if relay operators are too censorious.

stacksatsio (npub10jn…vcrd) Stacksasts published an updated paid relay list. We now have at least 10 paid relays. Have you used one? What has your experience been like?

quoting nevent1q…j3n5

Paid Relay List UPDATED

Add individually to your relay list and you will receive an invoice by DM to pay and gain access.

GNGA (npub1qpx…2mfp) “Global account” created and private key released for users to get creative. What could go wrong?

quoting nevent1q…qwvr

What are the possibilities of 🟣Nostr🟣?

There has been much deliberation to flesh out features to see what Nostr can achieve through the hard work of its creator #[0] and others to push updates to the Nostr code base, the corresponding clients (such as Damus/Amethsyt/Astral/Nostrgram/etc.), and how to propagate information on this nascent decentralized social network. I wanted to take this a step further to see how this could be affected with a single global guest account.

An account to rule them all, in a sense.

With this account, I’m really not sure what could happen: nothing may occur and this account dies with this idea; this may be a niche account that many don’t pay attention to; alternatively — and this is the fun part — we can see exactly what happens when we release the private Nostr key live on this profile and it is released on global. I don’t know what to expect honestly.

So, with all of this stated, you’ll find the private key to this exact profile below for ANYONE in the world to log into this account and:
~ Make changes to the profile
~ Create posts/replies
~ Add relays
~ Receive lightning invoices (I left the LN address blank intentionally)
~ Do anything creative that you can think of, there are no limits

So, without further ado, you’ll find the private key to this account below. Enjoy, #nostriches.
