Pa de pessic (pinch bread) is how we call it in Catalan, but for this specific recipe with no yeast, in Spanish we call it bizcocho genovΓ©s (Genovese cake)

Thinking (almost) everything from scratch
One of the weak points of nostr publishing is that new versions generate duplicate posts. How do you address this in Onyx?
The Blockchain paradox
- It's decentralized, but relays or nodes are unaffordable for average individuals, so it ends up being somehow concentrated.
- It's based on implicit trust by signature, but users feel free and anonymous.
- Value is transferred directly between individuals, but it remains on a common ledger.
- There's complete transparency of what is transferred, and at the same time a considerable opacity of who is in charge.
- It's a volatile value, but holders feel like it's safer than most traditional values.
- There are practically no trolls in a medium with no central censorship!
Is 21 SATs the new established courtesy zap?
Has anyone noticed some unusual lagging in nostr lately?
This is like jailing a weapon manufacturer instead of the murderer
The huge sense of freedom within both the Blockchain and nostr can be a bit overwhelming sometimes in the fact that this freedom is used for illegal activities, to hide obscure businesses, or any sort of criminal planning. There's been a lot of hype about the inevitable need of forking Bitcoin, and the risk this would bring to stackers. But this cannot take us back to a centralized auditing instance. No way. That would destroy the very essence and motivation of a decentralized system. Perhaps we should think of some sort of a social badge, maybe by a new NIP, with a neutral color, zero by default, which could get gradually warmer by adding negative votes, and colder with positive votes. It would be like zaps, but for reputation. I know this sort of ideas would bring me a bunch of red votes, but sorry I can't stop thinking around this purple and orange pills, I can't get rid of this mind-blowing new paradigm, and about all the actual, and potential goodness enclosed. I personally understand there's nothing illegal in decentralized communication as a system. Same with decentralized value management, it should be compatible with honest taxing, and legal business. The big thing is who we trust, an institution, a business owner, a central bank, the whole society? The bigger the decision group, is necessarily better? It is a fact that one protocol came from Satoshi (whoever it may be), and the other from @fiatjaf. We trust them because they open sourced, and therefore we believe the code is a social heritage. But all this is beyond the code, it's a whole new mindset, a treasure we want to preserve and polish, and since it's connected with real value, it's the closest to a dream come true.
