Okay, fellas… I’ve stepped it up since my early days of slinging rocks on Nostr. Allow me to introduce you to Verified Human. My offering in the battle against spam on nostr.

I’ll be rolling out the beta release at Nostrica. If y’all are interested, I’d love to hop in a spaces and chat about how I expect this thing to work! 🤙

Interesting reputation system developed by #[0]

Scanning is so much better than probing! I really should’ve run this by you first! 😂

Nah. It’s literally just one human vouching that there is another human behind a given account - as opposed to a spam bot.

But of course, there will be rules that are meant to prevent people from cheating the system. Those rules aren’t built into the version that’s currently live. Right now you could spin up a bunch of accounts and verify them. So the rules will be what makes it interesting. 🤓

🤣 I think the Worldcoin dudes tried probing each other first, but didn’t scale to their users.

That’s very cool though, looking forward to checking it out!

Lol. Thank the great nostrich I don’t know what Worldcoin is! Sounds painful. 😅

😳 Sounds horrific

“I’ve been very interested in things like universal basic income and what’s going to happen to global wealth redistribution,” Sam Altman, Worldcoin’s cofounder and the former President of Silicon Valley accelerator Y Combinator, told Bloomberg, which first reported on the company last summer. Worldcoin was intended, he explained, to answer the question “Is there a way we can use technology to do that at a global scale?”

Guess ChatGPT is fine

Yea… terrifying. Get everyone’s biometric data with Worldcoin, then use the public to train my ChatGPT AI.

Could Satoshi have been a sentient A.I., would an A.I. value Bitcoin?

Sent back to save humanity?

It's hard to exclude as possible and yeah that to seems like a mission in the spirit of Satoshi.

I checked it out. Looking forward to hear you speak about it Jason and how it will make Nostr better 🤙🏻

Appreciate that Merrcurr. I went ahead and added an About page as an explainer. If you get a chance sometime give it a read and feel free to challenge the proposal. The whole idea is a long shot, but it’s too interesting to me not to try it.

If you’re interested in chatting about this in a nostrplebs space one night, let me know and I’ll be sure to hop in. Should make for interesting discussion at least.

Thanks guys 🤙

If you are at nostrica, let’s catch up

Let’s do it! I’ll be there.

I’ll be launching the version with verification rules on the first day of the conference. That way we can all start verifying each other in person.

Can’t wait to see these rules 😂

Haha. I keep pointing that out bc it’s so easy to game right now it’s hard to imagine that it could actually work to fight spam. I’ll post a breakdown on the app of one scheme that I think could work so everybody can noodle it and weigh in.

Did you happen to notice that jack’s pfp is hosted on nostr.build instead of twimg now? Pretty rad.

I didn’t know that, too cool!Snowden’s also. I’m so proud of how far nostr.build has come in just two months, crazy.

Congrats Nostr.build!

Serious life achievement stuff..

You’re now the custodian of the two most valuable images on nostr.

Oh, and jack and Snowden’s pfp’s as well

The responsibility is real.. Not sure what I would do if anything every happened to 2008.jpeg

2008.jpeg has historic value but Capsule also owns the most expensive one as well - I think it was the Jam Goth masterpiece

I can’t even keep up…

You also custody my showergirl.jpeg drawing. Take care of her pls.

Capsule does indeed own the 15,000-sat Jam Goth Monkey Ordinal jpg… I created the original but alas my version is now just an identical 100-sat copy…

You mean fartingdickhat.jpeg

Impossible! How did you replicate this???

Wait, are you saying that some satoshis are not actually rarer than others?

I learned from Craig wright you don’t need private keys to sign messages on the #blockchain

😂🤙🏼

😲 this is impossible! That jpeg belongs to me. It’s hanging on my wall. How did you get it?

Truly Masterful.

Whoa #[5] !!!!!

I probably visits https://nostr.build more than any other website 😂

You have to keep an eye on your rare digital assets!

It’s because of #[7] I make backups multiple times a day.. The AWS snapshot feature rules

I will never verify whether this is true, but I trust #[8] as my jpeg custodian for life

Just wait until I roll-out the account system!

This would make my life much easier. I’ve posted the same memes on nostr.build several times.

Same. I store in my phone and repost to get link.

It’s pretty redundant on both the user and nostr.build storage. 😬

I need to remember to DM myself the memes so I can copy the link, but I’m not the best at developing good habits

Use the hashtag #borrowchain or #stealmemeschain to find good memes.

Thanks I’ll remember this next time

Bookmarks soon on Damus. Killer feature for me.

👀

Same

😂
