Given Enough Agents
Readable code was never reviewed code; a few thousand sats each month buys an audit of the software guarding your wealth.

The Next War of the Internet Will Not Be About Freedom of Speech
Deepfakes, forged audio, and synthetic videos are dismantling the foundations of digital trust. This article explores why the next major internet crisis will not be about censorship — but about proving who actually said what. From C2PA to Nostr, a look at the technologies fighting for the future of authenticity.
Protocol First, Library Second, Application Third
The zkSNACKs coordinator died because we ran the only one; Wasabi the client survived because that layer was protocol-shaped, not operator-shaped.
Two Roads to a Network Without Permission: Reticulum and FIPS
Reticulum and FIPS both build permissionless encrypted meshes, but they differ radically in routing, crypto primitives, and their relationship to IP.
The Problem They Said Could Not Be Solved
The builders of the best encrypted messengers declared decentralized group encryption impossible. The Marmot protocol proved them wrong.
Your Nostr Key Is Your Network Address
FIPS makes your Nostr npub a routable network address, unifying identity across social and infrastructure layers in a single self-sovereign keypair.
Verify Anyone on Any Channel
A simple challenge-response app can verify Nostr identities across any anonymous channel by querying the follow graph users already built.
The Mathematics That Bridges Bitcoin: From BitVM to Argo
Cryptographic enforcement succeeds where trust fails, and nowhere does this principle matter more than in Bitcoin's quest for trustless bridges.
The Code Liberation: How AI Makes Software Infinitely Customizable
When AI handles compilation and patching tasks, source-based computing finally escapes the domain of experts, ending decades of binary distribution monopoly.
The Universal Principles of Liberty
A voluntary libertarian legal framework built on non-aggression, self-ownership, and property rights, with decentralized arbitration replacing state monopolies on law.
The Protocol Rothbard Would Have Built
Nostr implements Rothbard's anarcho-capitalist vision: cryptographic property rights, voluntary relay markets, and censorship-resistant communication without state-corporate gatekeepers.
Nostr-Native Distributed Storage System
The latest iteration of Garland, a privacy-preserving distributed storage system built on Nostr and Blossom, using erasure coding for durability and single-key recovery.
Owned by No One: Solving Nostr's Key Rotation Problem
Nostr's greatest strength - that you own your identity through cryptographic keys - becomes its greatest weakness when keys are lost or stolen. This post introduces two simple, social solutions that let users mark compromised keys and rotate to new ones through community verification, without complex cryptography or pre-planning.
