Oddbean new post about login | logout I think a major use-case of nostr, (outside of social media) is for helping FOSS tools coordinate system activities better e.g. wallets need a way to figure out who’s willing to accept ecash from which mints. we need metadata about the mints to “live somewhere”
How else could you even coordinate this actually? Serious question. Is there an alternative?
i genuinely don’t see any way besides nostr. and since nostr is so critical to this use case i think stuff like this is really where nostr will shine. social media is fine, but also well served in some ways. public information about FOSS tools coordination is deeply underserved
Yup agreed! Communication and Coordination that centralized solutions simply cannot provide 💪
