Required is not the right word Pablo.

The Silicon Valley VC model is about ploughing capital in to emergent spaces in the hope that you back one of the 1/2/3 companies that will dominate the space rather than get eaten.

These startups are given exorbitant amounts of money with no expectation of profits, just growth metrics. Grow the userbase now, work out monetisation later.

So long as they hit the growth metrics, the previous round of investors help you go milk the next round - after all, it’s increasing the book value of their investment… Sounds like a Ponzi scheme, right?

And what the hell do you do with that money? You pay for ridiculous offices, provide insane perks to attract talent away from MS/Google etc and sooner rather than later you need a middle management bureaucracy to oversee the early productive team members. That’s the beginning of the end.

“The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” - Oscar Wilde

A tale as old as time. Productivity in aggregate decreases with every marginal labour unit added, it’s not “required” rather its just what happens at a certain size but the investors don’t care because their goals are completely untethered from reality.

They’re not in it for a marginal return on a solid business, they’re in it for moonshots that go 100-1000X and literally gamble on entire industries like fucking degenerates.

Nostr is going to be the end of this model!

If Balaji is right, expect him to shut up pretty soon when his wealth and freedom is threatened by the establishment which he is undermining.

If he keeps going on the same thread, those powers don’t see him or his message as a threat.


Stack Hodler hasn’t been active much on nostr lately which is sad, he’s got some of the best content out there and CS is his back yard.

I've had an idea for decentralized authority for food production standards, and it seems that Nostr+badges might be a good protocol on which to build it! This would be sort of like L2 on nostr in that it would work on top of it. I imagine a local organization would authorize people to qualify (or disqualify) a source as a clean and reputable producer or distributor of food based on local standards and values (such as different levels of organic produce, specific exclusions, practices, etc.). This would also serve to make finding the food at the quality you want easier and more locally.

The immediate application is food, but the same idea would work for auto repair shops, professional services, construction and maintenance contractors, plumbers/electricians/roofers/handymen, etc, like a more specific version of yelp or Google reviews that is locally controlled.

Could be like "Nostr guilds" or some such name.

Perfect way to do it


It's a long and complicated process. First, I enter all of the relays onto a spreadsheet. Then, I go into my kitchen cabinet and find the box of angel hair spaghetti. I then choose a single strand of spaghetti for each relay that I have entered on my spreadsheet. Next, I break each piece of spaghetti into a specific length, making sure that no piece is within 1 inch of another one. The next part is crucial to this process. I ask my wife to boil a pot of water for me. While, that's boiling, I take careful measurements and assign each piece of spaghetti a relay ID on my spreadsheet. Once the water is boiling, I instruct my wife to cook the spaghetti and to let me know when it's done. When the spaghetti is cooked, I carefully remove each piece as to not break, rip, or stretch the individual strands. Next, I throw those fuckers at the wall. Whichever ones stick, I pull off of the wall and measure their length. I then compare the lengths to the spreadsheet and find the approximate corresponding value. The relays that have corresponding spaghetti that sticks are then saved onto my Nostr profile.

You are your only hope. Don’t expect people to rise up against any of this shit until they’ve lost enough that they’re desperate - that’s when they will and by then it’s too late, they’ll accept whatever crumbs the government give them to stop the pain


Someone like Peter McCormack should know by now that the State isn’t going to save him.

He’s had the entire picture of the fucked system painted for him by experts, he’s had every good orangepill delivered by hand, and yet he’s apparently still dumb enough to be a statist.

Maybe you’re right and it is a survival instinct, I just don’t understand how the survival instinct of avoiding the state doesn’t override trusting it when you have all that knowledge.


Accepting that your money is a shitcoin is a hard pill to swallow.

Not only has the government been stealing through inflation but actually it’s all a Ponzi, use to fund more ponzis, and theyve been lying to you about that reality since you were indoctrinated to believe their false reality since childhood.

I totally get how that’s too much for a lot of people to accept.

What I don’t get is the people who do accept it, but still advocate statist bullshit. Like you know all this evil they’ve done and yet you still believe they’re going to do right by people after all that.. Thick as pig shit.

✅ 300k Sats to #[1] for development of Nostream paid relays

✅ 300k Sats to #[2] for development of Nostream paid relays

And watched this interesting chat about paid relays which added to the space I had with Cameri yesterday: https://youtu.be/Sm1iU7lttkI


Think it’s due to when they receive the contact list.

Try gossip by #[2] - he can explain this stuff far better


The Fed has a dilemma, almost a race, between two things as they raise rates here.

1) Raising rates generally results in tighter borrowing standards on a lag. This can reduce lending-driven money creation and lead to disinflationary demand destruction around the margins.

https://void.cat/d/LciK171UhVRj6yZuNHk2u7.webp

2) At high public debt levels, raising rates also increases federal interest expense, which increases the fiscal deficit, which is a source of ongoing inflationary stimulus into the economy.

https://void.cat/d/FX7vWUrUF4kiNidN1g5PQ3.webp

In the 1940s, inflation was fiscal-driven and public debt was high.

In the 1970s, inflation was mostly lending-driven and public debt was low.

Currently, the Fed is using a 1970s-style playbook to deal with 1940s-style fiscal-driven inflation.

Yes to release to, but I don’t know that you can control what users do with it from there?

I’ve been toying with the idea of Joe Rogan joining Nostr as a thought exercise. Would be a huge stress test of the network but also show the model to make money as a creator on Nostr. It would likely involve running your own infrastructure or consuming that as-a-service including paid relays on a subscription.


Is the coins > diamond thing true?


If the notes have their own kind then clients can filter them in/out. Instead of having your damus feed full of what it is today and random Craigslist ads thrown in, they would be hidden in your main feed and accessible through another area or dedicated clients.

Relay side is important though for a different reason - marketplace is a bit of a Pandora’s box.

Once you start listing things for sale on a decentralised permissionless network, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. Today we’re selling wine and bitcoin collectibles, tomorrow you can get black tar heroin from HODL420 or zap 10k Sats to BTCPuppySmasha who will kill your neighbours dog..

So unless you want someone gatekeeping offers (antithetical to nostr and practically impossible), you might not want to be on the same relays where those offers are being published.

This stuff is inevitable in my opinion, The Silk Node.

But a bit of forethought could help avoid a massive shitshow.


They made a splash with the announcement and I appreciate them riding the hype and adding to the ecosystem but this is a fair question, lots of #nodestrich users running Umbrel who aren’t just using Damus


Out of millions of notes there's only 143 that currently have > 1k words. There wouldn't be much to see.


Sounds discriminatory to me 😂

Haven’t heard this in 25 years..

Someone reminded me of this the other day:

https://youtu.be/47017OaHTWU


Imagine what would happen if someone like Rogan stumped up to Nostr at the end of his Spotify deal and made this his channel.

He can control distribution, be economically connected to his audience, get paid for any of his social interactions beyond his podcast, literally become one giant node in a digital economy that no-one else can fuck with..

The first content creators who make this model work are going to be successful beyond their wildest dreams. Will take some trial and error of how to use gated relays properly, how to host and monetise content, run a lightning node for it all etc.

But there is a path on Nostr for creatives of all types to monetise content in a completely new way in a system the parasites can’t destroy by fiat. A cypherpunk parallel economy that anyone can join will terrify them.

That traditional Silicon Valley VC models won’t work here. Identifying 1 or 2 market winners early and pouring insane cash in to them to accelerate user growth is futile when you don’t have a walled garden to contain them and their cost of switching is basically free.

Also the userbase is monetisable from day dot which changes the incentives both for devs and users; no need to build something that makes money from 1M users when 100 could pay the bills.

That’s going to put off a lot of investors who were comfortable with that paradigm because all of the growth hacks become ineffective. Suddenly it’s a world of quality over quantity where the market decides what thrives rather than the VCs backing them.


Ran on a 10 core Mac with an M1 for 5 days. Found 15 6 character npubs and none with >= 7 characters. Found the first 6 character one in 1.3 hours.

Have been running for another 6 days on a 12 core Intel Linux workstation and have not found any >= 7 character npubs yet.

The jump in difficulty from 6 to 7 characters is impressive.

In the fiat world you swim in gigantic public pools. Sure there are “rules” but no-one follows them, the lifeguards don’t care if you break the rules but they’ll throw you out permanently if you disagree with their politics.

In the nostr world there are lots of private pools. You pay a small entry fee which helps the pool owner keep it clean and they don’t care about your politics, so long as you follow simple rules like “don’t shit in the pool” then you can stay with all the other guests who have paid for the superior private pool experience.

Would be a real shame if the people of China found a means to communicate broadly without censorship.

For the CCP that is.


You need the noteid which you get by long pressing on a post and copying it.

Then @noteid and it will quote post


Welcome 🤙 Get as many Nostriches as you can on Lightning ⚡


Nope still not working. Follow this:

#[3]


Correct. Can’t zap you because you’ve got a onetime invoice in your profile, you need a LNURL. Check my feed for a guide


30k new keypairs per #[3]

WoS down multiple times with the influx of users

#[4], #[5], and magoo (npub unknown) all joined today.

Bird app users locking their accounts to get more engagement as Damus launches 🤣🤣


I got the same error as #[4] trying to enter your room as he did mine.

Keet might need some polish


Keet mobile dropped today, Jack posted his room. Guy Swann has been pushing it hard, I think it looks interesting but haven’t looked at it in detail yet (I’m assuming it has group chat- it’s known for group video calls).

It will probably integrate with nostr for Spaces alternative though so might be worth giving it a try?

Is there a #nodestrich group chat? We should be chatting outside of public nostr threads on this.

Maybe do it on Keet to support the decentralised ecosystem whilst there is no real nostr group chat?


Of course, and the market will do that. When relays/channels come about they’ll focus more on content and client and leverage the relay as a business model, like monetising a large Twitter or substack following, they’ll filter that through their relays.

You might pay $5/month over 19 relays if 19 providers gave you that much value and took out costs for other services in your world.

In the meantime there will be plenty of apps you don’t consume just as there are today. With a smaller userbase fees will be lower, it will find equilibrium as it grows.


Wonder if #Nodestrich could get to making the wallets even more nostr native to integrate with clients and build out the node network underneath?


Relays will go to apps/channels, paying for the infra of microapps means it will be on users to decide which they want to pay to follow. People tend to be more careful in selections when there is money involved than when practically every choice is free.


DO NOT GET AN OFFER TATTOO UNTIL SPEC IS FULLY RATIFIED!

Want to start using it now, minus the tattooing


Where is bolt12 at?


Nice 👍


This is version 1.0 of nodes on nostr #[0]

https://amboss.space/community/6d41c0bd-6e39-40a2-a062-a809c2e8c2b5


Hopefully by the time they do it’s too late, there will be enough traction on other apps that big tech won’t be able to catch-up


Pay2Relay going to become the default pretty quickly given no friction to creation of new accounts.


Yes it’s definitely possible and I expect won’t take long til we see something like this.


Can I sell nostr NFTs on there?


Good morning to you, 7 minutes to Friday here!


What browser / OS?

I setup in Chrome on Mac with nsec which saved (but failed when used) and Firefox which just didn’t do anything.


Bitcoiners have the ability to set the populist agenda on “climate change”.

We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of this, most of the crazy shit our ruling class is doing hides behind a veil of either “sustainability” or “climate change”.

Personally I agree with Alex Epstein’s human flourishing framework but I’m happy to put that aside and just argue based on Bitcoin’s ability to reform the energy sector globally because the payoff is mass orange-pilling.

This could be the bridge to make the movement towards separation of money something normies accept. They see the destruction of the current green agenda but don’t have a well-articulated alternative - Bitcoin can be that.


Thanks 🙏 There needs to either be an instruction or nsec needs to be rejected as an input then.


Do nsec keys work in nos2x or hex only?


Yeah cool feature, built to pass AppStore guidelines more than out of any pressing need from Users.

When Damus gets to the AppStore though and an influx of Cult of the Current Thing members come in we’ll be glad to have it


Interesting 🧐 Thanks!


One thing AI is likely to do is massively separate generations. Growing up in an AI world will be very different to adapting to it


Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.

Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.


Pushed from Twitter?


Nostriches are the fastest animals on the internet


Think you commented something recently about a “git relay type” so as to not shit up the network with code right?

You think that’s going to be another layer, or more like a different set of ports on the existing protocol?


What elements would it need to be done right?


How important do you think the Nostr-based GitHub replacement is that Jack has put up the bounty for?


It was actually your last message re the Michael Burry of crypto I was thinking about.

Nostr as a communication method between Bitcoin nodes would add a layer of resiliency and coordination that could help withstand attacks on the Bitcoin network.

Where are Bitcoiners going to go if some block size argument breaks out knowing how captured social media is now? The corporate interests will buy up every platform to push their views, Nostr could resist them


I’ve had tons of issues with astral for NIP05. Save it through another client and it will appear in astral but can’t save it direct in there

Killdozer 2.0?


Last time a spammer annoyed you:

https://nostr.build/i/5711.jpeg


See you in 24 hours 😂


Thanks for the meme but you didn’t send a prime number!


Nostrian Economics 👀

Love it 💜🧡


Think we’ll see the micropayments that Saylor has spoken about become another layer to PoW.

Incentives drive behaviour and if you’ve got money on the table you’re far more likely to uphold community standards if failing to do so carries a financial penalty.

This ought to inversely reduce moderation requirements and also disincentivise the Reddit jannie types who get far too caught up in policing language - boot too many people off your relay/client then that money will flow somewhere else for the community to reform in less censorious conditions.


It’s has now, $16 to the #nostrchain

Do Aussie dollars count?


Notes in most Lightning apps are horrible so for all intents and purposes they are anonymous


You still don’t have a tipping wallet in your profile bro!


Relay.team appears to be a parked domain. Any further info on that project?


I’ve consumed the Understanding Urbit podcast and watched maybe another 10-15 hours on YT but haven’t played with it yet.

What do you see as the use case? I quite like the identity setup and the idea of quiet computing that Galen speaks about but the former seems to be better addressed here on Nostr, the latter is interesting but probably only valuable when the application ecosystem is further built out.


Hey #[0] - your note mentioned in Max’s piece says there are 2 relay-as-service operations.

I’ve seen relay.farm - what’s the other one?


Nostr.band and nostrum.pro


Can you run a bitcoin node off PS5?


Trying to convince my girlfriend not to buy all the shit that catches her eye.

Some people call it “shopping”, I call it fifth generation economic warfare


Me explaining Nostr to a friend

https://nostr.build/i/4574.jpeg


Nice work my friend. I’ve given you a follow but can’t send a tip as you don’t have a wallet attached!


I really don’t want results similar to Google. It’s so captured as to be practically unusable on half the things I want to dig in on.


Have tried a few times and seems to be going straight to snort


The starbackrs - sounds like a cult


Difficult to know how well they actually do, a lot of them handed out by admins to seed it on threads and get users to spend on them.


I like the cut of your jib young man


Launching Twitter Coins rather than use Lightning which is already integrated on Twitter would be peak fiat.

Just another pump and dump for the Silicon Valley VCs.


Check out my NIPs mate


We’ll have @nostr.com.au verification and an associated relay coming for you in the next 24 hours mate


Very cool. I saw Paolo said they’re working on something with Holepunch too which would work with Nostr


What are you using in the backend for this?


Um, that’s an #AUStrich


💯 is just an emoji, easily accessible on mobile


Loving fountain.fm

I get disappointed when I can’t boost my favourite pods on there.


There’s dozens of us, dozens!


Where are you based mate?


#AUStriches is a good idea #[1]

Tag in and follow any other Aussies on nostr. 2 others I’ve seen round the traps:

#[2]

#[3]


Rolling your own is almost always a bad idea.

Unless you’re fiatjaf I suppose 😂


Yep


Couldn’t tip, your wallet address not supported


Centralisation will probably be at the relays, much like with telcos and ISPs. Especially if there is some kind of deposit / paid gatekeeping service they provide to filter spam


Stop replying to this fuckin bot ppl
