Similar story here. Nostr’s early-days-Internet, "best effort", extremely flexible and hackable architecture certainly attracts some great people—even if their voices are a bit lost on Nostr. I really want to see it take flight anyway.
Well, despite all of my geeky bitterness above, as long as doers and builders from different backgrounds keep hanging around here, building cool stuff in their respective areas of interest, we're definitely heading in the right direction.
The last time I heard the name Henry Story he was still at Su. I'm glad his interests outlasted the company. I need to catch up with what he's up to nowadays. Nostr is full of people like this. Unfortunately, not a lot of academic researchers (yet), but we do have some very smart folks from the torrent/DHT side of things; some folks working on building an Internet Archive over Nostr; others trying to create communication infrastructure for vulnerable people; some aiming to put the “D” back in DVCS; lots of security folks (and I don't even need to mention the crypto crowd again), etc.
Hopefully good things will come if we keep stirring the pot.
