40 BTC out of 21 Million: the Python Nostr developper
I have been working on this idea on living 40 years on 1 BTC per year. And how it facilitates your perspective as an (online) business owner.
Now imagine you are a Python data scientist. You know jupyter notebooks. You know python programming and you know Nostr. Just basic Nostr.
How can you add at least 8 BTC per year of value to the Bitcoin Nostr Community? To know more about the 40 BTC target, read my other posts.
What would the Nostr BTC community need? From a Python Data Scientist?
Data!! Yep. Obviously.
What data would they love to see? And how would they want to see it?
Let me share some views as a Nostr publisher. As somebody who goes live on zap streamon a weekly basis and someone who uses Nostr.
I would want a dashboard.
With:
- number of users
- number of posts
- number of zaps
- number of people who zapped
- number of posts in a timeline (per year, month, week, day)
- a ranking of the top “nostr influencers”
And I would want the data in a spreadsheet, json file and csv
I would want that dashboard to refresh every 15 min. Or maybe every minute.
Why?
Because then I would be able to analyze the trends.
Creating a graph in time (from time series data) is the first thing I do when analyzing a new system.
So to analyze the “beast” called Nostr, I need data about nostr.
Then if possible I would want to see the topics people talk about.
What are the hashtags about? Who is talking about what? What is right now or today the most talked about topic?
For instance: across the whole Nostr ecosystem: are people talking about #USA, #TRUMP, #Recession, ##Tariffs, #Caribbean?
Who is planning a vacation about the #Caribbean right now?
I want to see also who has the most amout of #followers and who is most engaged?
Open source
It needs to be a system that is open source and that is not dependent of me. It needs to be a system people can build upon.
So probably it needs to be a Python library.
Yes: imagine a Python library that you could simply install with pip install python-nostr-dashboard and voila, you get all these nice things I mentioned above.
That would be magic!
People could use it.
And it would be worth more than 8 BTC.
Why? Because it would generate nore than 8 BTC in value.
8 BTC paid by 200 people. Say 4.000.000 SATS per person.
Even if it only cost 2 BTC to create it it would be valuable. Because once it was created there would be no cost involved.
I have to study this more.
Let me know what else this dashboard would need to show.
