Long-form malformed, so let's try this the kind-1 way…

⚡ Personal update: I’m on to new adventures, including starting up with a talented team of developers, product designers, and cypherpunks (ask me who when you see me). But also, @npub1utx…50e8.
@npub13tv0rauv3cgevcjzu298eg2ujd4j82ve6haer0lyu3rjuttw4a2s6mgea0 is a unified Bitcoin & Lightning rail. A single API with no infrastructure overhead.
So you don’t have to go through this:

App engineers and product people, this is for you: two lines of code—bitcoin sent.

🎯 Bitvora makes on-chain and Lightning payments simple, fast, and friction-free.
I’ll be at #bitcoin2024 in Nashville next week, and I’d love to give you a sneak peek of the product. We’ll be in an invite-only beta.
✅ If you’ll be in town, DM me or leave a reply below to set up a meeting. I can’t wait to show you what we've built.

Just off the phone with a close friend who's octogenarian mother was scammed into withdrawing tens of thousands of dollars in cash from her bank, then buying and sending Bitcoin to the scammers. He was hoping I could help. Beyond basic on-chain analysis, of course, I can't.
But what stuck with me is this: if a large, regional bank doesn't flag and prevent an elderly person from taking thousands of dollars in cash out over a few days from multiple local branches, what even is the point of them? Incredible.

I’ve been thinking that perhaps the next thing for me to build in association with brainSToRm.ninja is a “tapestry relay” that calculates and stores influence scores. Technical users would run their own personal tapestry relay, but non-technical users would pay a few sats for someone else to do it. There would be a UI for users to design and select influence scores of interest. What does that mean? Each influence score is associated with a context. Context can be anything, but could be something like: my grapevine trusts Bob “to flag sensitive content in the category of NSFW.” Each Influence Score is calculated using weighted averages, and the UI would allow you to activate the calculation of Influence Score A using Influence Score B as weights. The user would also stipulate what to use as raw inputs (likes, zaps, attestations, etc) and how to interpret them. For non-technical users, presets could be designed to take care of decisions like the ones I just mentioned.

I’m a Proton enjoyer, for sure, but the inability to integrate the calendar into common, third-party tools (scheduling, desktop apps, etc.) is a tough one.
The best I’ve managed is to subscribe to Proton cals in a Google Calendar account, then integrate that. But it’s super janky.
Has anyone figured out a better way? #asknostr

Decentralized curation by one’s web of trust. Not only of content, facts, and information, but even more importantly: of the semantics, ontologies, schemas, and protocols that we use to communicate about those things.
