Episode notes
Centralization Vs Censorship Resistance
- Centralized platforms are vulnerable to government pressure and can censor large swaths of speech.
- Nostr and decentralized protocols provide censorship-resistant communication but don't solve state coercion or deanonymization risks.
Build Time-Delayed Inheritance Vaults
- Use Miniscript-based multisig templates to create recoverable inheritance vaults with time-decay access.
- Configure decay thresholds so heirs can access funds after a set idle period without sacrificing short-term security.
Tech Alone Won't Stop State Coercion
- Decentralized platforms help preserve speech but don't prevent governments from penalizing speakers.
- Technical solutions must be paired with cultural and operational practices to reduce deanonymization risk.
