Oh yes, I do. That's why I am interested in understanding it and looking for possible weaknesses. I want it to succeed long-term, and the best way to ensure that is to look ahead, iterate and improve.

Been reading up on the nostr protocol and comparing it to the DSP I wrote about in 2021. Many of the details seem to have been worked out brilliantly, but one thing that worries me is the reliance on volunteer nodes.
It would be nice if there was a business model for nodes and node competition at the protocol level.
As it is, I wonder if nostr can scale.

Just before I take the stage, I'll be hosting a welcome back celebration at @nprofile…7emy. Should be great food and a great time. I would love for you to join me.

@nprofile…zj6n showed me nostr recently. Reminds me of a writeup I did back in 2021 on decentralized social media:

I'll be mirroring my X account here and hopefully finding some good conversations.
