I generally don’t even like conferences that much, but I’m having serious Nashville fomo at the moment.

Taproot Assets live on Lightning (via @npub1uat…n24e)
Anyone know of any projects planning to use this for stablecoins specifically?

2024-07-14 21:40:40

Correct.
Unlike many here I’m still a fan of Twitter/X. Elon’s purchase of the platform has massively expanded the Overton window and has been a net positive for free speech.
But that stance has placed him firmly in the crosshairs of every powerful interest who wants to limit free speech and control the flow of information.
You’re seeing it already with the regulatory moves by the EU and other attacks on Elon. It remains to be seen whether X, as a centralized company, can continue to protect free speech even with Elon at its helm.
That’s where Nostr comes in.

I’m still not fully comfortable with ecash, and it seems like using a custodial LSP is maybe better considering all the risk tradeoffs.
Can anyone point me to something that will explain why that’s wrong?

Thought I had this morning:
Bitcoin is such a powerful technology and has so much potential for good that it gives many people a profound sense of meaning just to be involved in it.
I’m a believer in the idea that humans have a “God-shaped hole” inside of them, and in an increasingly secular society, they’ll naturally find alternatives to fill that hole. For some, this happens to be Bitcoin. They treat it like a secular religion. Look deeply and you’ll see parallels everywhere.
It’s a great thing that people are so passionate about Bitcoin and that it gives them meaning. But this dynamic also brings out some of the worst human tendencies that rise up with competing belief systems.
Ingroup/outgroup dynamics, social punishment for defectors, intolerance of opposing viewpoints…and perhaps most often— purity tests.
I’ve been seeing it on Twitter the last few days with Bruce Fenton going after @npub1sg6…f63m.
I think it’s important to remember to have humility. You don’t get to judge who is or isn’t allowed to contribute to Bitcoin, and they don’t owe you any explanations. If you think you can gatekeep Bitcoin in any way, prepare to be humbled.

Lately it feels like there's been an explosion of Twitter alternatives.
Nostr, BlueSky, Substack Notes, Farcaster, Post, etc.
Cool to see the market respond to what is clearly needed. The question remains which platforms will see sustained traction and why.
I expect a lot of dispersal, and then for people to eventually re-congregate around a few.
I personally think Nostr is the best alternative, but it's interesting to think about how and why other platforms might outcompete it.

Paging #[4]

2023-03-15 15:44:49

At #[0], we think it’s important for relays to have sustainable long-term business models.
Today we’re debuting Kollider’s paid relay— which operates on a monthly subscription model.
You pay to get in, and then each month we’ll send you a DM with an invoice to pay the subscription.
A lot of existing relays require a one-time admission fee, mostly to prevent spam. But this model is likely unsustainable in the long-run.
We like the subscription model because it will allow us to invest in the infrastructure and services needed to continue offering a best-in-class relay over the long term. We’re looking forward to seeing other paid relay models emerge, too.
If you want to give Kollider Relay a try, you can do so here:

2023-03-13 21:35:55

A story I’ve seen many times in this ecosystem is that people knew about Nostr, but only once #[0] got actively involved did they really take it seriously.
Jack’s donation and subsequent interest 10x’d (at least) the speed of development of this ecosystem.
Figures like this are super important for building social consensus and thus attracting serious builders. We need more of them.
Who else could bring that kind of positive attention? Who should we Nostr-pill?

Yeah I agree.
This quote from one of the articles is interesting:
"(Side note: Interestingly, teen loneliness briefly went way down from about 1996 to about 2006. That’s consistent with the idea that the old computer-based internet was a complement to in-person interaction — a place you could build an alternative social circle — instead of a substitute for it. Like I always say, the internet used to be an escape from the real world; now, the real world is an escape from the internet.)"

2023-03-03 17:31:31

Maybe this is a long-shot, but maybe not.
Lots of evidence recently about social media and its negative effects on mental health, especially that of teens.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how we can get the word out about Nostr beyond Bitcoin Twitter echo chambers.
Not to mass onboard users-- I still think it's too early for that. But to get more developers and builders interested.
I've talked to a lot of people lately who are fairly knowledgeable about crypto, tech, etc who have zero idea what Nostr is.
I think there are a lot of people who will find Nostr extremely interesting, not just because of the Bitcoin angle, but because of an interest in free speech, open communication protocols, cryptography, etc.
How do we reach them?
