I mean businesses run their own servers all the time. If not usually a VPS. With relay tools you can use whitelisted Npubs, IPs and all sorts of private hosting options. The key pair is just an easy cryptographic login system. Everything else just integrates your business Npub with Nostr for ease of accessibility. So, overall I disagree but it would heavily depend on the structure of the business in general to know how to apply it to Nostr.

Scaling means the sysem grows linearly to more machines being added. Layers of money are not that hard to scale. The asset peg (base currency) denotes final settlement and verification. The money cannot move faster than what can be verified. This means if the market calls for money to move faster you must make an equivalence to a currency. Market Currency (layer 2) meets the velocity of market use. This either is a exchangeable bond to base currency or another softer asset with a market exchange rate for base currency. The latter is generally less verifiable than the base currency. Lightning bitcoin is a trustless ledger of a basket of bitcoin. This solution is like a bond contract for base currency but between two parties. It could be scaled further using a complex multisig channel or covenants withing pooled bitcoin UTXOs. The settlement of Lightning channels will be seen in the future more like end of year book balancing than a method of finalizing payment.

I always wonder what these people think the word simulation means. At a high enough layer of abstraction all that is "really" happening is energy moving around in waves through physical media. You aren't "really" listening to music, vibrations are resonating on your eardrum. You're not "really" eating food, proteins are being absorbed by your lower intestine. You're not "really" touching that table, the electrons at the edges of the atoms in your hand are being repelled by the electrons in the table. This sophistry is meaningless. All a bug within the procol of language I suppose. God help us.

I guess I would say, look into the IME if the CPU is is intel and why a lot of people opt for coreboot. The OS isn't the only vector of attack. Either way, I am not saying you can't have useful tools. This is also called an anti-pattern and is just as identifying as regular patterns. Having no digital footprint when you are a known person in meatspace creates a profile all its own. This is beside the point. Most people ARE harmless so the intel agencies aren't wrong. You can try to obscure your network traffic, preserve your privacy, and control your UTXOs meticulously. 1, ONE counterparty you transact with can ruin all of that work. I think that's what I am trying to get across here. Using money (debt to other people for their good or service) necessarily involves public data. Use cash dollars, use Monero, use Bitcoin, use gold, whatever. No one is going to get paid and say "I wonder how I got this money, and from whom?" That just doesn't happen. Using techniques to obsure your traffic so the average thug doesn't come for your corn is DOABLE. Obscuring you traffic so that no nation state can know your dealings? Impossible.

Try to square the paradox of transacting Bitcoin without owning a computer. THAT is my conclusion. Everyone in Monero is privacy-LARPing, and I'm kind of tired of seeing it. As for content of your communications, there are ways to keep that data private to a point. But again, you have a counterparty that can ruin everything. The essence of networks is that we are relying on others. Which is fine for trusted parties but merchants are generally untrusted parties.

A little primer for you on data: Public data- is data that you allow to be known by untrusted parties. Private data- is data you allow to be known by only trusted parties.

Let me rephrase so there's no pedantic gotcha: Overwhelmingly the most common way people can be identified by address is via fiat on ramps and off ramps. The agorist selling me soap and fucking beef jerky is not giving my info to the CIA, Square, Strike, and Coinbase are. Better? Okay. Ready? The shop can just not tie the transaction to the data! Example: For reporting purposes- the shop sold 15 widgets. The customer data is a separate ephemeral database. NO MATTER WHAT MONEY YOU USE THIS IS TRUE. Yes, including Monero. So, what's your point here? That using money is a public act (like I said). Or obscurity is a technique not part of the protocol because no matter the protocol the counterparty needs to be trusted? (Also like I said) In a mass adoption world if I got bitcoin, sent it to a single spend (non-deterministic) address and handed the keys to the shop owner where's the paper trail? This is a TECHNIQUE yet I preserve my anonymity. (again, something I said before)

Using money is a public act. That's the thing. You're talking about a system in which you go out into public and ask everyone around you to preserve your privacy. It is not something that is possible because there are counter parties who also know you are trying to transact with them. Privacy is selectively revealing yourself to trusted parties. And the problem with that is merchants are never trusted parties. That is the whole rationale behind having trustless money. Treat privacy like you treat anything else. When you're walking down the street, you carry a weapon because the average thug can be repelled with a weapon. But if you think your privacy precautions are going to save you from a nation state, you are sorely mistaken. Obscurity and pseudonymous techniques are the equivalent of carrying a weapon with you. As for your premise, that digital surveillance is the norm. It isn't the norm of humanity, it is the norm of a centralized monetary system. And again, it's not that Bitcoin is not private or at least obscured. The emergence of Bitcoin is trying to reconcile a centralized system against a decentralized one. The only reason anybody can tie an identity to a Bitcoin address is because of the fiat on-ramps and off-ramps using Bitcoin. If I mine Bitcoin or do a job for someone and receive the payment in Bitcoin, there's nothing tying my identity to that address. That is just a holdover of people trying to transfer their wealth from the controlled system to the decentralized one.

Privacy is an issue for emergent systems because the set of users can be identified and crushed. But once there is ubiquity, on chain privacy is not a focal point of money. Minor pseudonymous protections (like no accounts tied to people but Public keys as the only identifier) serve well enough to use it as money. So yes privacy is an issue NOW. but embedding privacy into the protocol is going to be vestigial with mass adoption.

I didn't "make it up" I applied logic to WHY the law is true instead of taking it prima fascie. The reason people choose the "fast money" is because it is more easily transactable, portable, and more easily obtainable. Bitcoin is also those things WHILE being hard money. That has never existed.

Anarchy IS the state of the world. Governments are just the largest warlords and their gangs. Capitalism is a system of organizing resources via money. Like any system there are rules that are bent and broken. Things have definitions and those definitions are ideals. A ball is a sphere shape. But if a ball isn't perfectly spherical does it cease to be true that balls are spheres? No, the ideal ball is a sphere but many balls are approximations of a sphere. I share your sentiment but the shirking of definitions is illogical. For example: saying "I am not a collectivist" means you are in a collective of non-collectivists. Is this a contradiction? No, it is an ideal. It is shorthand to say "I consider myself an individual moreso than part of a group." Being kind feels nice. And not everything you dislike is to be dismissed.

Okay, sorry to inform you but those people are never going to join a network that requires personal responsibility. Holding a private key is not something those millions of users will be inclined to do. They WANT to be controlled, fed, and guided. This rebuttal is tantamount to mourning the fact most people won't join you in your ice sculpting hobby. Yes, they will eat processed food, use fiat money, look at corporate "art", pay their taxes, and be blissful doing it. This is the reality of the NPC paradigm. They must experience pain in the right circumstance to become a real person. There is no getting around that.
