I've read through your proposal, and here are my thoughts.

1. You need to clean up the English a bit -- the occasional omission of definite articles (e.g. the) gives it a slightly Eastern European accent. I suggest having a Brit give it a once over to make it sound a bit more "British".

2. The proposal appears unfocussed to me. It ranges from studying open source development to management implications. That's a very broad area of study and makes me think that you are fishing in hopes of finding a topic, rather than actually choosing a topic.

3. You have mentioned management several times, but have not defined what you mean that that. In particular, what management issues are you aiming to study? Corporate management? Development management? Open-Source management? Operations, Finance, Engineering management? Or is it team dynamics that you are actually interested in? I think you need to be much more specific about this.

Nostr is a fascinating enterprise. It was concieved in the Bitcoin community, and driven by many of the same values. It started with a single paper from fiatjaf that described an absurdly simple protocol and then grew organically from there.

We programmers have found it within our power to thwart the censorious efforts of our governments, institutions, and corporations who want to control our speech, our opinions, and therefore our thoughts. The passion that you mentioned in your proposal comes from the desire for freedom of speech and expression.

Studying how and why nostr has grown, and continues to grow, as an example of how other freedom movements grow, could be very valuable. I wonder, however, if any university in the west would want to support a freedom loving ideology.

I guess nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft uses a personal client which operate differently. That's why his notes have the look of computer terminal.

It’s his own client «more-speech»

I'm one of those early nostr developers who wrote a nostr client. I call it more-speech, and I patterned it more after an email/news client than a twitter client.

It's neither in my notes or comments or dm ❗

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm going to have to make that more fool-proof, since I'm clearly the fool that needs to be proofed.

I'm iranian. English is not even my second language. But sure I try to correct the language errors. Thanks.

Yes I dont know what to write about and how to justify it. I am in fact fishing for a topic.

I have an ancient engineering Bsc which I never used and a more recent MA in management. So I felt the need to look at nostr 's management.

I want to grow along with nostr. So I thought it's a good idea. But Idk how to approach it.

And yes, I cannot talk about freedom and opting out of the system when I intend to apply for a university program.

So I thought I better omit those parts and see nostr as a harmless protocol and the clients like regular applications.

Which each has a team and will be some kind of organization eventually. Though they have been managed miraculously great so far. But they will grow, and they will need management studies and managers.

Would you send me that paper's link for citation ?

I'm not sure if the original is still around. #[4] may have it. The best I can point you to is the NIP repository. Check out NIP-01. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/tree/master

What do you suggest as the best topic to get Phd on management+nostr

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask, but I think there's a doctoral thesis in the economic and social impacts of the electronic struggle for freedom. This would include nostr, bitcoin, and the penumbra of other less viable crypto and fediverse technologies.
