slipstream (htlc)

I've been using both for a while now, here's my take. Community-wise neither are exactly my taste. Nostr is zealous leaning bitcoiners, while FC is degen leaning ethereans. Both have small pockets of actual normal people which are great. I don't post much, but my content happens to get much more engagement on nostr. I'm not sure if this is simply an audience preference or a protocol discoverability issue (eg high spam & priority mode on FC) Tech-wise there are trade-offs. FC uses a logical singleton which means it's forced to play the balancing act we are so familiar with when using blockchains: scale vs decentralization. Nostr bypasses this entirely but instead has to find solutions for fragmentation. If not addressed this manifests as "missing" notes and slow to compute follower/like counts. If I were to engineer a network myself, it would look similar to nostr's relay design, but with a DHT (something like pkarr) for solving fragmentation - in a similar way DNS solves the internets fragmentation

Reading about Radicle. How does it do sybil protection for canonical branch signature thresholds? Are delegates permissioned?

There is no such thing as "upload to ipfs". It's not a thing you can push data to. In the same way that a torrent with 1 seeder is not "uploaded to BitTorrent". You can make something _available_ via ipfs, but that is not where the file is stored!

Is there a higher penetration of "hyperization" believe in the ethereum community than in bitcoin? That is, do more etherians believe eth will fully replace trust-based finance than bitcoiners believe btc will fully replace trust-based money?
