Gig Report: Ruisrock Festival July 7 2024
Sunday July 7 2024:
Here follows my experiences with KÀÀrijÀ and Joker Out at Ruisrock Festival, Roussalo Turku on July 7 2024.
To make a long story short me and @jaarijani had decided to camp at Rossallo camping (the officially camping site of the festival) which gave us a lot of grievances so we'd only put our tents up a bit after midnight the day before. None of us had good quality tents and it was said to rain early morning sunday.
I had had a few drops of rain pierce the tent when it began raining at 5 am while poor Cass had had her tent soaked! Safe to say we were not happy campers when security and police went around asking us to put our tents down or fasten it closer to the ground since the weather had warned against strong winds.
We went searching for a charger and I saw a helicopter take off at one point (that I later learned very possibly was the very same helicopter that had KÀÀrijÀ, HÀÀrijÀ and Joost in it!!!).
We went to the festival grounds with one of the earliest busses at 12 to meet up with @teal-skull, our saviour, that had brought us breakfast (not the last time theyâd save our behinds). When entering the festival grounds, we quickly went to queue for KÀÀrijĂ€ thatâll be the second act on the mainstage after Blind Channel (flashback to my birthday concert!). We got to meet whole new sets of people that I havenât seen in ages (hi @i-wasnt-ready-for-this! Hi @korre!) or never interacted with in public before such as my fellow Bojere QPR shipper @flananjan and â I am still sort of awestruck about this one â @lemon-h4!! I had not made stickers today, so I drew quick doodles for everybody on post it notes. @carpblu had made me HÀÀrijĂ€-Hojan-Hoost bracelets and @formulalakana a Denmark Guy one (for context I recommend checking out my gig repport for Backas) and I honestly treasure these so much!!!
I was pleasantly (with capital P) surprised and relieved with how well the queueing went for KÀÀrijĂ€ â the security respected our number system and let us into the limbo space first. Here we watched Jesse while screaming along to HHH and Rouska played from a little speaker. Then the security would follow us using tape (so nobody could run) to the barricade in groups of 40-50 people at a time. Having number 34 I managed to get barricade at one of Finlandâs biggest festivals(pictured) next to Skull, Aniina, Cass, Caro and Bendo.
KÀÀrijĂ€ made another homerun show especially lifted by having Erika Vikman join for Rouska and later Joost join for the first ever performance of Trafik! (me and Bendo had been wondering why HÀÀrijĂ€ wear a blue suit out loud and only conclude that maybe weâd see Joost a second before the backtrack began playing). I filmed the whole chaos yet given I was just behind the photographer I didnât get all the best angles but it was still so much fun!! (Only soured by an entitled teenager ripping the setlist out of the hands of the person that had actually been handing the setlist and then the teenagerâs mother shouting at Caro for calling her daughter out).
After that amazing experience we went to join the already assembling Joker Out crowd in the tent and unfortunately that meant being present at this horrible DJ set (I tried to make a joke at one point asking if this was the music straight people were into) the insulted my insights. After that and because I may not have eaten enough during the day I hit the wall and my blood sugar drained drastically, so I had to sit down. Cass went to ask for some water by who ended up being Vita (Cass didnât realise not even when she was interviewed about Ć BJ which made them way calmer than theyâd been otherwise). I tried my best to drink the water (it was sparkling, and I hate sparkling water with a passion) and got some glucose from Cass yet I still feared I may pass out. But as soon Joker Out went on, I felt instantly better (probably the dopamine) and enjoyed the rest of the concert just fine.
I had surprisingly a lot of voice left, and I am 80% sure I caught Bojanâs eyes at a few points. What I otherwise remember the best was the poor bird flying terrified around in the tent like a moth to a window and Bojan talking to the bird with a heartbreakingly tender voice (before jokingly saying he just pretended to talk to the bird to catch his breath). The setlist was great although in retrospect I missed Novi Val and of course Bluza, my beloved. I later learned that had I been more center or placed on the right side of the stage I couldâve witnessed Bojan hugging Jere at one point (all I saw was HÀÀrijĂ€âs yellow hoodie walking across backstage just before SSOL).
 I will say with both Joker Out and KÀÀrijÀ I enjoyed their festival performances but missed the connection that you find at the smaller shows, so I am not sure I will go to many more festival gigs with them in the future.
Just before Joker Out had begun their set, Iâd incidentally become keeper of @pianist-chan âs book of memories so Iâd had it in my back during the show. I didnât realize at first why my bag was so light all of a sudden until it struck me, Iâd missed the book (still feel horrible about that). This would turn out not to be the only bit of unluck we had this evening since Cass and I was ditched by the busses again, almost scammed by scammy taxies, had to walk down to the truck area to even find a yellow vest to ask for help before going to the camp site, packing our stuff and throwing out our tents in rage. Luckily for us we were able to find a solution making it so we didnt have to sleeping at the camp another night.

LMAOOOO. I finally decided to deal with my 600+ posts in the queue and apparently most of them are from this year. I'm pretty sure 1/3, maybe more of it is related to Joost and with the case being dropped I can finally reblog them. Hmm what else was there Cluclu stuff, Frieren and a whole lot of others. Lemme do the math 365/24 that's 15 days whew.

On Lightning, Messaging Apps Emerge as Growing Use Case

On Lightning, Messaging Apps Emerge as Growing Use Case
âDoes instant messaging over Lightning have killer application potential?â
Lightning Labs developer Joost Jager asked his Twitter followers this rhetorical when he debuted a demo for his Lightning Network messaging application, Whatsat.
Does instant messaging over Lightning have killer application potential? The world needs censorship-resistant chatting and with Lightning, compensating the network for message relay comes naturally.https://t.co/TnLI4yjM16 pic.twitter.com/GseuU4KyZo
â Joost Jager (@joostjgr) November 2, 2019
Your average Bitcoiner probably wouldnât think of messaging as one of Lightningâs killer use cases, at least not before micropayments, streaming payments and the like. For encrypted messaging, theyâd likely default to options like Signal, Keybase or Wire.Â
These are certainly better than mainstream messaging apps, like Facebookâs Messenger and WhatsApp, whose encrypted options are thinly veiled save-faces that donât offer much material confidentiality. But encrypted messaging needs to go further than privacy, Jager believes; they need censorship resistance too, and this is where Lightning-powered messaging comes in.
âThe encryption part is similar, in both systems the message content is private,â Jager told Bitcoin Magazine. âThe difference is that there is no central server involved. No single kill switch that could be used to shut down all communications. Or that is used more selectively to deny certain users to communicate.â
Whatsat: A New Approach to an Old FeatureÂ
The Lightning Network has supported messages from day one, same with Bitcoinâs base layer. The Blockstream Satellite has been used in experiments around Lightning-driven messages and private text message services have leveraged Lightning payments. But recent tweeks to the protocol now make it easier to attach additional data to a payment and pass it on to other applications using type-length-value (TLV) payloads.Â
TLV payloads allow people using communication protocols to attach additional, extraneous information onto a data packet. For Whatsat, this extraneous data would be the message that is bolted onto a Lightning transaction.Â
The update that enabled TLV payloads paved the way for a concept like Whatsat which, alongside censorship resistance, could also make communications more private for end users, depending on how messages are sent or routed, Jager said.
âChatting over Lightning also makes it much harder to find out who is communicating with whom. It is not required to have a direct (observable) TCP/IP connection between users and there is no central server either that could reconstruct the communication pathways,â he told us.
Lightning-powered messages (or transactions, for that matter) are onion routed, just like information passing through the Tor network. The messages are shunted from node to node, and each node can only identify the node that sent it the information or the node next in queue to receive it.Â
Now, if one entity runs the majority of the nodes in a pathway then they may be able to unmask the sender and receiver, Jager admitted.Â
âPrivacy and security are relative concepts,â he continued.
In some cases, then, it might be better for users to set up direct payment channels with each other. For example, if a âspyâ or âattackerâ wanted to deanonymize a user via node surveillance, then onion routing the payment may offer significantly less privacy depending on the route, as described above. In this case, a direct payment channel would be more private. But if the surveilling party were an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and tracking TCP/IP addresses, then onion routing would be more private.
Direct channels could provide absolutely free messaging, however â something that some users might find a negligible benefit compared to potential privacy trade-offs. For instance, Lightning messaging is already a free-to-use service; when one user sends another user a message, they have to attach it to a payment, but the recipient can reject this payment after opening the message (for Whatsat, a return-to-sender message saying that the payment has been rejected serves as confirmation of the original message).Â
As with Lightning payments writ large, a fee market is likely to develop for this service to route messages when a direct channel is not open. This could be seen as one of the cons, Jager said, but itâs also a trade-off some might be willing to accept for censorship-resistant, confidential communication.Â
âThere is the cost side, but also the benefit side,â Jager explained. âThe weight of that is dependent on the awareness of users of the downsides of existing messaging systems. For most people, an imaginary world in which some authority can block two people from talking to each other in real life sounds like scary sci-fi. But it is where the vast majority of the users are at with the current state of messaging in the digital domain.â
Whatsat is currently in testnet, and its source code is on GitHub. But donât expect a beta from Jager anytime soon. In our conversation, he mentioned that Whatsat is âonly a proof of concept,â a side project of his that isnât associated with Lightning Labs, his employer. Itâs his hope that the hobby project will âinspire other people ⊠to start developingâ it further.
Sphinx Chat, a Different Approach to the Same Effect
Some developers have begun toying further with Lightning messaging, though not from Jagerâs source code, and theyâre close to launching a private beta.
Sphinx Chat, for instance, has been in motion for about a year. Project lead Paul Itoi told Bitcoin Magazine that its team cobbled together a prototype for a Lightning hackathon in New York in 2018. At this yearâs Lightning Conference in Berlin, it released âa very hacky version to a handful of users on TestFlight,â Itoi told us, but they plan to drop a new beta version in the near future (you can register for the private beta on its website).Â

â Brian Murray (@murr) November 2, 2019
The application takes its name from the Sphinx protocol, an upgrade that onion routes Lightning transactions over a Tor-esque network. Whatsat leverages the same protocol to achieve a certain degree of privacy, though it differs from Sphinx Chat in that it will offer free messaging within direct channels in addition to TLV payload messaging. Sphinx Chat is focusing solely on the latter.Â
âBoth are similar,â Itoi told us. âBut [Jagerâs] is designed to avoid fees since it uses a failed payment to deliver the message. This is currently free on LN. Sphinx inserts the message in the [TLV] and uses keysend to deliver and standard fees will apply.â
TLV still has an extra step to go before itâs production ready for mass messaging, however. For LND, the Lightning instance that Sphinx Chat runs, the team still needs to enable TLV messaging from the receiverâs end; it can receive the data, but it has no way of processing it.Â
Lightning Labs is tracking and working on the issue on GitHub, but until it is sorted out, Sphinx Chat will rely on specific nodes hosted by Nodl to relay messages (which have been customized to fully support TLV payloads).
âWeâll stay in beta on nodes weâre hosting until those features are officially supported,â Itoi told us.
Once out of beta, though, Sphinx Chat will be totally open-source, he continued. At this point, node operators can establish fee markets for relaying messages, same as with Whatsat. He also sees it as a complementary application to StakWork, a chore app that allows people to complete tasks for sats. For example, workers can be notified and paid through Sphinx Chat
The Future of Encrypted Messaging?
Perhaps the first question that comes to mind with Lightning Network messaging: Why use any of these developments when we already have reliable, encrypted messaging apps?
Jager admitted that this is a definite âcon,â since âLightning is complicated compared to a centralized service.â Additionally, with a decentralized system like Lightning, âit can be difficult to deliver the same user experience that people are used to. An example of this â which is just as valid for payments â is how to deliver a message to a user that is offline.â
Still, there are reasons why someone may prefer Lightning-based messaging options to more centralized alternatives. Because the Lightning Network is decentralized, these options will be more censorship resistant and resistant to service outages that result from single points of failure. Itoi also views this development as indispensable for how it couples payments and communication as a single, permissionless entity.Â
âThe key benefit is integrating the ability to pay and communicate under one identity,â he said. âOur core belief: the privacy and censorship resistance that Lightning provides for payments should apply equally to speech. Using Lightning for chat will accelerate the adoption of bitcoin as a medium of exchange.â
This also opens up avenues for Lightning-powered forums, which would theoretically reduce spam given that, in Sphinx Chatâs case, each message costs something. Chatting also need not be limited to humans, Itoi believes. In the future, he envisions APIs and Internet-of-Things devices sending messages and payments to each other via Lightning (sorry, IOTA).
Like many other burgeoning applications and features being built on Bitcoin, Lightning messaging still has a ways to go. Another question to consider, besides usability, is whether users will be willing to pay to chat. This model is reminiscent of the old days of pay-per-message SMS, though it will certainly be much cheaper. Lightning messaging, depending on how hard it is to route messages, could cost as little as a sat or less.Â
Still, with the promise of cheap, confidential and censorship-resistant messaging on the horizon (far off as it may be), Jager is optimistic in the future of this incipient use case.
âIt isnât said that a Lightning-based messenger canât eventually match the ease of use of existing services,â Jager explained. âThere surely is a ton of work to do, but I wouldnât say it is impossible. At the moment, people generally have no problem with existing messaging services ⊠but that is today. The future may be different. Perhaps the existing messaging services change their business model, perhaps some scandal happens in which huge amounts of metadata are leaked ⊠I canât say how this all will develop, but I think it is good to explore alternatives.â

(for the curious, HEREâS THOSCHEI GOES TO DISNEY WORLD with @masterfulxrhythm)
D: No dying today, this is the Happiest Place on Earth!
M: [he just goo goo eyes her from where heâs leaning against a post] Youâre my happiest place. Â [a fiendish grin to offset the corny but thoroughly genuine declaration] You sure youâre tall enough for all the rides?
D: (POKES HIM SO HARD IN THE SIDE) Oi! It's built for children, I am definitely tall enough for Space Mountain. (grabs his hand and drags him into the line)
M: Where are you taking me, foul beast?! Iâm being ABDUCTED. Sheâs an alien! [to a crowd of skeptics near a Star Wars pavilion] Itâs true! Coom on you donât want to get on the Dumbo ride?
M: [he snatches her little waist and pulls her against him from behind] Whyâre we going in here? [murmuring this into her ear, tucking hair out of the way, before deliberately attempting to fluster her with a kiss to her earlobe] To make fun of the human concept of the intergalactic? M: Iâm all for that, mind.Â
D: (oh she DOES get a little flustered, not used to this open affection between them just yet, and blushes quite red - even as she elbows him in the ribs) No, you ninny. To get a glimpse of their imagination! Can you imagine, growing up with limited knowledge of what space is actually like, then building an entire entertainment genre off of it? Ride and all?
M: âŠ..You took me to a theme park from earthâs 21st century to try and get me to feel warm and gushy about the human mind. AGAIN . M: So you posit [he spins her] Thaaat. M: âŠ.there is a certain beauty in the capacity to imagine things, even if theyâre utterly inaccurate? M: There is beauty in ignorance, Doctor? [lofting a brow] M: ohhhh, look at those pretty little capillaries going to work in your cheeks.
D: Noooooo... (she grins, placing both her hands on his chest once she's facing him) I posit that they can inspire emotions, even in their ridiculousness, better than any other species. D: And shush, you! (buries her face in his chest)
M: Better? Ach. [he tsks, and rolls his eyes, but when her head comes to rest on his chest his entire psyche lifts off like a rocket with joy and charisma.]  alright, Iâll concede you that. If you snuggle oop to me like this.  I suppose that was your nefarious plot all along.  Make the Master yield because you know heâs smitten with you, and always has been.  WELL my dear. [and he dance-spins her again, pulls her close and kisses her nose tip] You may win the argument, but I get the FRONT SEAT! M: âŠbut BETTER? Dâyou know how long it took them to figure out indoor plumbing?F M: Okay okay. Sorry sorry. SORRY FINE. Fine. M: âŠRACE YA. [and he takes off like an idiot. until he sees the line.] Ew. [a disgusted face like he just stepped in dog crap.]
D: They've invented it MANY times, isn't that great? (although goodness yes, definitely still flustered by PDA, even if no one else seems to mind. she hurries after him to catch up, laughing at that face) Oh come on, this is part of the experience! D: (takes both his hands to draw him into their spot in line and smiles up at him, batting her eyelashes just a little) I've been studying human culture a long time. You may even call me obsessive.
M: Yes, dear, I would.
D: And one thing I've noticed is that these moments here, when you're waiting for something more exciting, these are the moments that matter. D: So let's make the most of it. (kisses his cheek)
M: âŠâŠ M: ;sdkfgjsdfgjsdkfjg <3333 M: âŠ.you are infuriatingly immutable.Â
D: (THE BIGGEST, SMUGGEST SMILE and yet also full of infuriating childlike delight)
M: [a crooked grin] You are still you, even after all this time. âThey keep reinventing toilets, isnât that GREAT!â Â [wide eyed doctor impersonation] Â âwe have to stand here with the plebeians and the flies, isnât that GREAT!â âwe may joost experience spiritual enlightenment! itâs the small moments! isnât that GREEHHHHT!â M: AhHAH. Heh. I love you. [he drapes an arm across her shoulders and relents. again.]
D: (and given her height, that's exactly the right angle for her to wrap her arms around his torso and snuggle up to him) And that's what makes you the more ridiculous one of us.
M: Will you kiss me in the dark? hm hm? [nudging her with a hip] M: I think thatâs debatable. M: the ridiculousness. not the kiss. M: Iâm gonna yield sitting in front if you kiss me before we go down the hill thingie.Â
D: Oh, well, a deal like that, how can I say no?
M : Really? [lighting up incandescently] M: Golly I thought Iâd have to wheedle more.Â
D: You're still standing in line. I think that earns a kiss. (also will make him wriggle even more with impatience as they keep. waiting.)
M: âŠâŠ.now? [realizing the trap thatâs been set] âŠâŠ.youâre horrid .Â
D: (SNICKERS)
M: I wouldâve kissed you even when you were that wrinkly old gray man! M: [lmao loudly enough that a few people glance over in puzzlement.] M: Â How DARE you.
D: (rests her chin on his chest to griiiiiiiiiiiin up at him with those big hazel eyes)
M: OR the one with the clarinet, god what was THAT phase about? M: Or the âŠstop that.
D: It was a RECORDER!
M: Â Oh whatever.
D: Why would I stop? (batbatbatbat)
M: Or theâŠ. you know, sometimes I miss that stupid yellow antique car.
D: I think UNIT still has her somewhere. Maybe I'll ask Kate.
M: The scarves. Of variant hideously clashing patterns. M: Oh my God. I might cry.
D: At least I had colour in my wardrobe.
M: Black is bold and absolute.
D: And boring.
M: [a gasp. you could have accused him of being a monster and heâd be less offended]
D: You looked better once you added the red.
M: it is NOT itâs DRAMATIC and AVANT-GARDE. M: Well I. I always looked magnificent. M: You probably like the black hoodie and red t-shirt best, because youâre a hooligan with no taste.
D: It's not avant-garde if you wear it for centuries, Koschei! (perhaps a LITTLE too loudly) D: I did. D: Because I knew how much you hated it.
M: I had many duplicates of the same outfit, Thay-tuh. M: I grew into it.
D: I bet I'd look good in that hoodie.
M: âŠ.I may still have itâŠ.. M: [imagining her wearing nothing but that hoodieâŠ..going down nearly to her kneesâŠ.oh noâŠ..] M: âŠ.well youâve dealt the killing blow, Iâm...undone.
D: And we still have this entire queue to get through!
