Because I'm using a different client (Amethyst) and relays now.
It's a W for the Nostr protocol (decentralized)
L for the Primal app
I'm shocked that they'd ban me for promoting a different decentralized protocol. I assume they're threatened by pubky.app because it's obviously so much better than Nostr.
I was a total Primal fanboy and promoter too.
In their defense, I was being a little bit spammy, but I was also keeping it respectful. I actually gained a bunch of new followers, so I wasn't being super annoying or anything.

Ironically, I can't see the media because I was censored from Primal and their media server.

2026-02-10 16:30:30 UTC

I got banned from Primal for promoting a new decentralized freedom technology stack ( pubky.app )
Primal is excellent software and I have a lot of respect for their work and UI/UX design (even if it's just a clone of X's design). Also, Paul and his beautiful family are an inspiration - PV!
However, how is this any better than X? Elon doesn't ban people for promoting Nostr on X, but Primal banned me for promoting Pubky.app ? I'm using Amethyst to post this note - hopefully Victor is a genuine cypherpunk.
I'm still rooting for Nostr and Primal (and now Amethyst), but I'm disheartened to learn that all the "Nostr is permissionless free speech" talk is just empty marketing copy. I was under the impression that getting banned wasn't even possible, but now it's painfully clear that Primal is centrally controlled.
We're never gonna win if we keep acting like greedy fiat crabs in a bucket. The Big Tech oligopoly isn't our biggest threat - it's greed, technology tribalism, ego, cultism and fear of new and superior technologies.
The good news is that there's a new, truly permissionless and decentralized protocol that gives users new superpowers (tags, edit, delete, etc.). No loading lag, no missing notes or notifications, no "mystery cache severs", no annoying bots and scammers. No shameless shills preying on the plebs with financial shenanigans and copium.
To the real ones: See you over on Pubky.app
[Note: I tried to upload a screenshot showing my banned Primal account, but apparently I'm banned from the Primal Blossom file server too - so I lost all of my media since joining Nostr. Hopefully the NIP95 upload will work] #nevent1q…lmf4

So what will happen after the block reward halves a few more times?
What BTC/USD price will be required to keep the mining companies solvent?
They're already on the edge of bankruptcy and power costs are rapidly increasing due to AI datacenter demand.
Prediction: a tail emission will be added to Bitcoin.
It will go down similarly to the recent removal of OP_RETURN size limits and txn filters.
It's pretty obvious, IMO. The miners will "vote" for it - they won't have a choice (other than BK).
There will only ever be 21M Bitcoin (plus a reasonable tail emission)
The Monero guys knew this over a decade ago.

Yes, I'm trying to bait the high-quality accounts and coders on Nostr to join the pubky.app community and build new apps on Pubky's decentralized tech stack.
I have no relationship with the funders, founders, or team. I have no financial incentive.
My motivation is to promote a competitive, decentralized alternative to the big tech oligopoly platforms.
Nostr has lots of great people and projects, but the protocol has proven, unequivocally, to be insufficient and uncompetitive.
To compete, a polished UI/UX and novel features are mandatory. (Pubky still has some rough edges, but it's improving rapidly)
Unfortunately, Nostr has been unable to deliver these, despite many years and noble attempts from many talented coders. (Primal is pretty damn good though, NGL)
This is my POW for the cypherpunks.

It's basically what Nostr could be if they started over from scratch.
Nostr is busted. It started out simple and now it's a mess of laggy and incompatible NIPs, relays, and clients.
The only usable app on Nostr is Primal, IMO (nice work!)
Pubky learned from Nostr's flaws and built a decentralized system architecture that addresses these critical issues.
Also, it has really cool and innovative features and a great UI/UX. They just released a stable and decentralizable stack - that's why I'm shilling it so hard now (and I'm fed up with the bots here).
There's lots a great people and projects on Nostr, but it's become obvious that it's a dead end (and kind of a cult).
The smart, open minded builders are gonna start building their new apps with the Pubky SDK (which is already better than Nostr's and will significantly improve in Q1/Q2)

The biggest threat to freedom tech isnt big tech, it's the gamma cultist devs and users associated with inferior platforms.

It's very complex.
Best I can do is three sentences:
> The core of ZEXE is a construction for a new cryptographic primitive that we introduce, *decentralized private computation* (DPC) schemes. In order to achieve an efficient implementation of our construction, we leverage tools in the area of cryptographic proofs, including succinct zero knowledge proofs and recursive proof composition. Overall, transactions in ZEXE are 968 bytes regardless of the offline computation, and generating them takes less than a minute plus a time that grows with the offline computation.
It has evolved significantly since the paper was published in 2018.
