That would be nice at point-of-sale. The cash register displays a QR-code encoding a bitcoin address and amount on a screen and you photo it with your mobile.

Bluesky separates the concept of the server that hosts your posts from the server(s) that clients connect to to fetch posts to display. The second group of servers intends to connect to every possible first group and download everything. It’s not like nostr where relays don’t sync.

Yes and the design of the system is very much that. There’s still work to go but just saying it isn’t and writing it off is naive imo.

Seeing how fit Tyson is at 58, kind of surprising he didn’t launch a fitness brand. Would be a good fit i think. Could go beyond apparel - into supplements and gym equipment. I mean, his nickname IS iron Mike …

Bluesky’s separation of moderation from hosting does reduce the chance of that pretty substantially. Unlike mastodon, where everyone is constantly screaming for servers to block each other, users can opt to do so without the operator taking that decision. Sure, the operator could as well, but the fact that they don’t have to (even if they think the content is objectionable) is pretty important imo. But the only thing that sets nostr apart here is that clients connect to multiple servers. That’s….a very simple feature to add to any social protocol? They could just add that and be done with it and then we’d have nothing. Not sure they will, but…

Imagine protests in the West, with lefties against the war ending 😆

sync all data? from where? sorry, i guess i'm learning still.

this is nothing to do with the nostr client.

Ok wasn’t sure. It seemed at odds with what you said. But regardless if you come up with a good strategy that’s aligned with your needs I’d be interested to hear the breakdown if you think it’s valuable. The optimum split versus the savings versus the monthly obligations might be an interesting topic for exploring.

Hope they do but many may fear they'll start from nothing more than a server and no connections if Bluesky deems them dangerous for whatever reason. Take the risk and self censor with Bluesky for access to more content, or build on nostr and allow total freedom knowing you'll be able to connect to at leased %90 of the more limited user base.

When it was first announced, which was probably prior to much/any development, they were advertising it as a decentralized social media solution. Maybe I’m wrong, but that was the impression I got at the time from Jack etc
