The microblogging is kind of a segue to the other stuff. Identity and the social graph people refer to will need to be the basis that brings some of the other things together. It seems that we’re in the “replace with nostr equivalent” phase before we get to that unique killer app. Or maybe the greater ecosystem of apps connected loosely through identity and web of trust will be “it”.

When a sat is worth a dollar; all kinds of social influencers will jump ship to nostr💯 Content creation bed rock is money - Bitcoin will be proven to those who aren’t made their mind on understanding Bitcoin.

Most exciting non-bitcoin protocol since http nostr:nevent1qqsfhggh4rrdvjsypyph8c6c3c8ec8aulv4pw9mj2gvzqjld75qp9cspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzp64suatdx2uqhn2xfu7cgjuqgqcrqadp864uxkv6wckf43atj860qvzqqqqqqyva4z6l

I love NOSTR and hope it succeeds. But I must admit I don’t see its potential when I independently think this through. Instead Im deferring to people smarter than I am about such things who seem very excited.

You might be interested in Keychat. Keychat is a chat app, built on Bitcoin Ecash, Nostr Protocol and Signal Protocol. Keychat is inspired by the postal system — stamps, post offices, letters. Keychat uses Bitcoin ecash as stamps and Nostr relays as post offices. Keychat uses Signal protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy. https://www.keychat.io/

Nostr is a new internet. We can do everything we already do with centralised servers… but in descentralized relays. This is a game changer. We just need NIPS and time for people to see the light.

I would like to build open Graph computing over Nostr. Any help and suggestions are welcome What ------- This note describes a basic framework for graph computation over Nostr Network. Nostr graph computation can find/calculate social data from the Nostr network. It may be able to find sub-communities, fields of interest, popular posts, etc Why ------- Graph computation is the base layer that allows the mining of social data from social networks. Nostr is a protocol that enables social network applications. Some of the more advanced and useful applications of social networks rely on computed social data. For example, a matching service based on a social network would use the ability to identify subgroups of connected entities or the ability to query for entities in a group who match some criteria. Currently, every such app built on Nostr needs to compute its own social data. This is a complicated and costly process that narrows and centralizes the space of more complex and potentially highly useful applications. Open-source social data mining utilities can lead to an open and distributed Nostr social data computation market, hopefully distributed between actors. A framework and to some level, a protocol for computing Nostr social data can help achieve this goal. How ------- Big graph data computation requires a lot of processing, a lot of storage, and relatively complex software to manage it. These requirements tend to make Big graphs computation be done by gig centralized companies with enough resources to pull it. This framework attempts to solve this by: - Make use of relays as the data layer (storage) for graph computation and make the computation process as - Define a low-level and hopefully simple protocol that allows disjointed actors to cooperate in the computation process and keep it distributed between different actors. - Be an open-source software that can manage the synchronization between computation suppliers and allows other software developers to extend it to do more specific graph computation.

My irl friends were mocking me relentlessly for not being on Nostr. Makes this post very interesting to me. Until this moment, I thought it was nothing more than a decentralized twitter clone. Seems I have much to learn.
