#Nostr defines a great base layer signed data format for the world. I'm looking for a good acronym to represent this idea, like "User Signed Content" but USC is already a shitcoin. "Owner Signed"? "Verifiable Author Signed" VAS?

Yeah the days of reliable multiboot are gone. Or maybe it was always like that but now I have more important data to lose.

The more we strengthen Web of Trust the harder it becomes for random newbies to enter the network and be seen. Do we have a guide for ensuring newbies can get their voices heard? #Nostr

There are two distinct types of data for any decentralized app. First and the most obvious is the user contributions, this data should be cryptographically signed, timestamped and should be verifiable wherever it goes. The signature is just as valuable as the data itself. Nostr does this perfectly. Every user contribution is a signed 'event'.
The other type of data is the indexing. The amalgamation of the user content and split out into searchable, retrievable segments. This is something Nostr is struggling with. Coincidentally this is why companies like Google, Github, Amazon etc are all so valuable, they have monopolized the indexing of data.
Decentralizing the indexes is not impossible, but it is tricky and is often overlooked.

That reminds me, I still have to set up my zap address.

If your decentralized app has 10 pages of instructions to install/run, or requires hardware only big companies can afford then you are doing it wrong.
