Oddbean new post about login | logout NOSTR APPLICATIONS NEEDN'T REINVENT THE WHEEL WHERE BIG TECH REQUIRES VERTICAL INTEGRATION WE'VE GOT MONETIZABLE HORIZONTAL INFRASTRUCTURE SCALING FEW UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS BUT THIS IS WHY BIG TECH CAN'T COMPETE https://i.nostr.build/KE3W.png

It did take me a bit of time to wrap my head around it, but this is the real innovation of #nostr--the ability to reconstruct application state from individual participants' signed event streams instead of a central database (or even blockchain). Really looking forward to some common things like forums and signal/telegram/slack/discord type complex protocols recreated this way.

Let me know if I get your point. The interoperability of Nostr ensures that the extent of its market is (almost?) infinite. This means that you can roundabout (make more productivo) parts of Nostr without the need of centralized firms. You have the tools and the size of the population that benefits from that.
But you don’t have any incentive today to keep things interoperable at scale, actually, the opposite is true today - the more users get into nostr, the more centralized it becomes. Recently as far as I know latest consensus - this is not important vector to focus on and there is only hopium so called outbox model would solve this problem
There is centralization at the start where there isnt enough demand otherwise. As demand for a service type increases, alternatives are built creating decentralized choices. Protocols must be open, or else a first mover risks being eventually silod.
not quite. Almost everything in big tech is closed and non interoperable. Which means each big tech must replicate the entire stack. Search, authentication, algorithms, etc. Each component becomes entrenched and a competitive advantage. Replicating each component for a small company or a solo-dev is basically impossible. But that's not the case with Nostr. Good example: * nostrudel doesn't have to implement it's own content-discovery algos; it can tap an infinite market of interoperable algos * amethyst, coracle and primal can provide the same * this applies to EVERYTHING, not just algos. Search, image generation, speech synthesis, post scheduling, timestamping EVERYTHING.
what is this client?

is this bitcoin circular economy. jpg
What app or website is this?
I also have this thought that the same can be extended to nostr relays willing to keep ‘older’ posts and for how long. Some can even provide archival services, where they in turn get compensated for allowing others access to these older archives. 🤔
I really appreciate your note on this important topic. #BTC #Zap #Nostr
The beauty. Multiple frontends. Multiple backends. All compatible. Nip90. nostr:nevent1qqs86e2d7vvk86cvq5r700tqftcy94djwprwh85pyrv9sgspv3zh0mgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsyg86np9a0kajstc8u9h846rmy6320wdepdeydfz8w8cv7kh9sqv02gpsgqqqqqqs73eaea
Big techs don't need to compete. They just look at this whole thing & say look at what the little mice made for us a free advertising platform we can increase our profits on & raise our prices for advertising campaigns. Thanks open source rats we built a road for them to pave yellow lines on. They are most likely celebrating & laughing over how much money we are making them now.
