Didn't notice how badly people are triggered until after I read the discussions on Nostr. But I guess that Ben's European-style "socialist" views are also cause of trigger for many, seeing how is being called a communist. "Freedom-for-all" unless it differs from my own political views syndrom?

Interesting to see how people who are so often posturing about free market don't want the just let the market actually decide. My guess is also that the market will probably tell him this is too much of an asking price, but who knows... I'd be happy to see Ben get some financial security after he's done so much for the FOSS field.

my exact thoughts. I have no idea who else would qualify both criteria

Nothing :) I'm working on Njump, that is actually tied to nostr.com like many other tools (ex. nak.nostr.com, metadata.nostr.com) for convenience. If something changes maybe there will be another web access point for nostr profiles and notes that will use Njump, and people will update their link in bio. Domains are centralized by their nature, we can use them as web proxy (same applies for NIP-05), but avoiding blind trust.

Lol

I thought it was 5M sats... no?

He mentions in a Twitter exchange that he would take whatever equivalent amount in BTC too. Guess it is just telling that at this point in the real world dollar-amounts still make most sense for most people when bills need to be paid.

Describing Ben Arc as candy-ass bitcoiner does not really fit the image I have of him as having made A LOT of real-world impact to the Bitcoin field with his FOSS POS systems, Nostr development, etc, but I guess that's just a figure of speech.
