It seems Nostr based P2P marketplace is all the rage these days. And people are viewing it as if these are competing solutions.
My intention has always been to create a single open order-book on Nostr that no one owns. There is literally no money to be made in this. And I’m doing this anon so even repuation and glory upside is highly limited. The only reason to do this is to create ways for on-off/ramp into and out of Bitcoin. My stack gaining purchasing power is more than enough motivation for me.
When I started nobody was talking about this. Now it seems to be all the rage. I am more than happy to drop n3xB completely if someone already got this vision built.
The competition should not be at the protocol/order-book level. The competition should be competing clients, liquidity providers and arbitrators - NOT competing order books and protocols. If it’s the latter then we already have it in the form of Bisq and RoboSats, and would be zero reason to put this on Nostr. The only reason to put this on Nostr is to have an inter-operable, highly liquidity order-book, instead of having wall gardened orderbooks, albeit P2P, etc that we already got today.
If anybody is building ‘competing protocols’ that is also meant to be an interoperable order-book, we should talk. One of us should drop. I’m more than happy not building protocols and build mobile clients and UX instead. DM me.
