The Blocksize War wasn’t a grassroots victory. It was Jihan Wu vs everyone else.
He fought SegWit to protect ASICBoost, tried to bully consensus with hashpower, launched Bitcoin Cash when he didn’t get his way — and lost. Not because the arguments beat him, but because the economics eventually did.
He bet against fee pressure, bet on bigger blocks, and thought miners should dictate the protocol. Turns out the real power came from exchanges and infrastructure — the economic layer that refused to follow him off the cliff.
So when Jonathan Bier says “the users won,” he should’ve added a giant fucking asterisk:
*Users = Bitfinex, Coinbase, Kraken, major wallet providers, and infrastructure operators. Not your uncle’s Raspberry Pi node.
It wasn’t node count. It wasn’t Reddit sentiment.
It was the fact that economically significant nodes aligned with small-block Core, and miners followed the money.
The grassroots didn’t win. They got lucky that the economic layer agreed with them. Some revisionist history will be required once “users” learn this truth the hard way as the current drama unfolds.

The more data is structured to be useful for a computer, the less useful it becomes to a human. It's better to maintain human usefulness and lose efficiency on the computing side, which doesn't care one way or another.

I'm reading a history of asymmetric cryptography right now ("Crypto" by Steven Levy), and my mind is being repeatedly blown by the origins, odds, and success of the movement. Everything we're doing with nostr started in the 1970's! And yet we somehow still don't have widely-used, decentralized electronic mail that checks both boxes of the original RSA paper:
> we must ensure that two important properties of the current “paper mail” system are preserved: (a) messages are private, and (b) messages can be signed.
The question that keeps coming to mind is this: what happened between 1996 and 2009? Once individual rights to cryptography was established, did the movement die out? Why did no one build out access to cryptography for the average internet user? Yes, SSL is ubiquitous, but it's still controlled by a cabal of root certificate issuers.
I know there was ongoing work that led to bitcoin, and XMPP is an obvious exception, but even so I am stunned that 50 years after the invention of public key cryptography we still don't have widespread, meaningful adoption. Keys are limited to technical users, and encryption is mediated and undermined by centralized platforms.
For those with some perspective on this history: are we in the midst of a cryptography renaissance? Did bitcoin kick off a resurgence of interest in digital privacy? Or is that just my own bias at play?

it's time to force all the top holders – and I mean all the useless hodler-hoarders who are now slinging shit like ETFs – to sell. period. make them operate in the fiat economy if they won't contribute meaningfully and tangibly, not just with propaganda and hype, to the Bitcoin economy. require charters for all holdings above, idk, 10k Bitcoin per institution or company.
you can just determine which institutions can buy Bitcoin and how many they can buy and hold.
central bankers do it all the time in the name of their war machine.
you can do it for the sake of humanity.

fortunately for me, my boss has managed to do well stacking a good treasury for our projects funding, and i am probably getting paid a lot less than people who do the same type of work as me, and i'm even working part time...
i'm hoping that the reconfiguration of the global trade system that Trump is orchestrating will ensure that the governments are starting to be forced to reduce expenditure and lower taxes as a result of economic slowdown as well, and i stay on track with my stack and have either my job or at least enough to see me to my next role.
i know my boss wants to see his interest in nostr tech pay off and i'd guess that one place that will do well is people who can host and deploy business comms at a better price point with more sovereign control of their data.
after i finish with the current match making engine, and probably will get put on building out another one for their planned linkedin killer type social network, that i will be on the task of building out forum/chat back end infrastructure for cheap, efficient and distributed/redundant comms servers to back a full stack of business collab tools
meanwhile, microsoft has been burning money chasing the fantasy of building skynet and losing market share in their gaming department at a growing pace to steam, whose costs are underpinned by leveraging linux and are the dominant gaming venue now, they have been cutting back their data center deployments and i'm sure their revenue is tanking.
good, i hope they go under. and while i'm dreaming, let's see apple lose position to Huawei and Samsung.

#realy #devstr #progressreport
i now have fully working full text indexers for notes and articles, and an index is now generated that makes searching for language tags on events fast
next task is to actually add the full text search NIP-50 functionality to the socket and http APIs, this will be a bit complicated, lots of set intersection operations
i was quite surprised how bleedin fast it was doing 117k events with the language tag, because it was decoding the binary events and then scanning the tags and it finished the whole lot in about 4 seconds... the binary codec on realy is really the fastest damn binary codec for nostr events evar... i mean, that's like decoding 27k events per second... the export has to then encode them into json and it takes about 20 seconds for the same lot... and marshaling json is basically just a string building operation, no complex logic to it.
if you are a #golang programmer and write code that does string processing, i can highly recommend the benefits of using bytes.Buffer and io.Reader/io.Writer model for screaming fast stream processing.

No, what's the mistake?
The Bitcoin that people hold is represented in the UTXO set, and the sum of that set is fixed. But the amount of electrical power you have to expend to gain the authority to execute transactions to change that set goes up with time and approaches infinity.
The three hundred odd pages preceding this example go a long way in helping me get the point. Which is that there are a lot of benefits to having control authority of the keys behind UTXOs in such a system and in having control authority of the physical power needed to execute transactions from those UTXOs.

Look at these absurd requirements Rumble imposes on its users just for a chance to earn money. I seriously doubt the majority of their users are making any substantial money.
In contrast, the Zap Stream monetization model is far more powerful than both Rumble and YouTube combined.
Zap Stream is the future.
