Interesting. They wanted to have a fractional banking system in order to get as much profit as possible. But now they are trying to get the security of a non fractional banking system without having it and keep the possibility to do business as usual.

True. They don't know AND they don't care. How many people knows how a car works in comparison to how many that drives cars?

The only thing that is really worth anything is the work a person performs. Fiat, gold, bitcoin are just ways of storing that energy until the person wants to buy some other persons work (time, a product). Bitcoin is the best storage for this energy.

Interesting reading regarding the fall of empires: Von Greyerz: "Prepare For 10 Years Of Destruction"
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/von-greyerz-prepare-10-years-destruction
Especially if you connect it to Ray Dalio's research of rise and fall of empires: https://youtu.be/xguam0TKMw8
Takeaways:
"THE STRUCTURAL DECLINE OF THE WEST
All empires are ephemeral and this is what the US and Europe are currently experiencing.
The final stages of empires, like the Han, Roman, Mongol, Ottoman, Spanish and British always include the same ingredients some of which are:
Excessive Debts and Deficits
Currency Collapse
Collapse of asset prices including property, bonds and stocks
Hyperinflation in the final stages, especially in food, commodities & services
Migration
High Crime Rates & Breakdown of Law & Order
Moral Decadence
Social Unrest, Civil War
Wars
As the West is now falling (& failing), we can tick all the above events also in the current collapse.
Global debt has exploded since 1971"

A place where it would be easy to consume news that are created on site where the news happens and are censorship resistant. I know it is possible to just post in Nostr but like in Twitter one gets news very fast but it is hard to get an overview. It should be like a newspaper/a news site basically.

2023-02-28 22:13:02

I am really impressed by the development of web and mobile solutions for Nostr. The commitment and the feeling of beeing in the forefront of something good. It is exciting to see the applications grows in real time with skilled developers and users that really want to contribute with ideas and testresults.
From my experience often the development solves itself sooner or later but fixing the graphics is really hard. No shadow on the apps that are in development but I miss the touch of a graphical designer a bit. Are there possibly any graphical designers that are also maxis or are there only developers that is here?

Ok, more people have said that so that feels good. But how? Please explain it to me more like if I was a 5th grader :-).
Let me take one example: 10 years ago I specified a censorship resistant news site but the tech was not there so it was impossible to build. Now I think that the tech is here (nostr) but I need to have more specifics.
What would differ between the news application and current implementations of Nostr would be that some more, let's call it fields just to talk db language, would be necessary. It would also be necessary to organize the posts in a grid and just not have it in a constant flow like Twitter.
Would that be possible?

2023-01-26 13:00:05

- reply

Thanks! Have browsed through it now.
Probably I am not qualified enough but I couldn't find any answer to my questions if it is possible and how to do it to use Nostr for other types of applications.
I like the decentralized focus but I am not interested in a social media application.

2023-01-26 12:49:10

Ok, so no set of fields like in a db if I understand this correctly.
Can I find the specification of those notes somewhere so that I can understand what would be possible to do regarding complex content?

2023-01-26 12:43:21

I am exploring possible applications that is possible to build on Nostr. I have got answers that it is possible to build other applications than Twitter/Telegram like.
I used to develop but I have moved too far from that so I have lost the detailed technical knowledge so I can't figure out this for myself. What I don't understand is how to build other applications. Maybe dumb questions but in the different Nostr clients I use now there are basically the same fields and same functionality. How do I add another field that I want to use in current implementations (social media) or totally different fields which would enable another kind of client application?
Or is Nostr locked to social media with a fixed set of fields?
