I think we are in the phase of running away from things like Twitter/Reddit to nostr, so the conversation is about that.

But it goes much broader than just social media. It’s a generalized protocol that enables many use cases, and I think the power of it comes in the ability to go from one use case, or client, to another, quickly and easily.

We haven’t seen much yet around this idea but we will.

I’m personally really hoping for a github replacement that Bitcoin core would feel safe using.

💯 tcp/ip , www, p2p, nostr - not just remain confined bitcoiners only wait till 2035 - back in late 1980s Tcp/ip had rivals too Novell, IBM 's protocol

Nostr git 🤙

When I change app clients, I seem to lose my social graph? Is it something to do with different relays? Is this a known problem? Just wondering how we are going to deal with this?

It’s a game changer. This plus bitcoin will also become a market place. For goods, services, ideas and art.

How would you see a GitHub replacement work with nostr? I did quite a bit of experimentation a couple of weeks ago, I was able to push/pull repositories with all got objects and refs being stored as events, it was surprisingly quick but it felt like the wrong direction. Do you see bitcoin core having their own git server with a nostr frontend and the social/collaboration side of GitHub (issues/pull-requests/comments etc) would be powered by nostr or something entirely different? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/223#issuecomment-1419642826

Yesterday I I jumped into a live voice group chat which was hosted via webRTC initiated from an nostr link. It all works so brilliantly well. There's no stopping this.

chat+forums combined

thank you for sharing!

Working on the GitHub. Give us a few months :-)

Amazing

Watching this whole thing go down is nothing short of amazing.

You’re going to need a lot more than a few months. It’s a monster

It's pretty straight forward, actually. It excites me very much that we might get that kind of thing very quickly. Git commits are just big notes of changes since the previous commit.

I think a music service enabled with Zaps… Tidalostr!!

Nostr.repo is gonna be lit. 🔥

Visionary in a time of increasing authoritarianism.

Having a secure, robust, and flexible GitHub replacement and being able to move Bitcoin Core over to it would be a game changer. In fact, I believe a move like that would be game over for mass adoption. I can't see what the majority of developers wouldn't want to move over to this Nostr powered GitHub replacement.

So, Gentlemen, in my view the right consortia of brilliant devs are already here on Nostr. That task force could be created, funded and work could even start this year.

One use case of imscribing that I find pretty exciting is the ability to upload new versions of btc core directly to the chain.

although there is a sign more and more registers lately to nostr,yet still a ton of efforts to be made to run this community better😊

We need censorship-resistant open source development.

IMO we can get it with the correct implementation of GitHub capabilities over Nostr.

In Short -Nostr-authenticated developers can use a Nostr-compatible git client to push to and pull from Nostr-authenticated git suppliers using Nostr relays as a communication layer.

I am not sure I have the time to create this on my own. I would appreciate any remarks on this and help get more people on board with the idea.

For a more elaborate explanation, please see this google document: docs.google.com/document/d/1z96XpTtrUvrFZYPjMzlT5JuE41HF6X5vI99lvImVCvU

A github on nostr would be great, one less attack vector. I would happily run a relay or a mirror relay for it

基于Nostr的想象空间很大 可以基于Nostr构建媒体平台、 社交应用、 通讯工具、 购物平台、金融服务.... 这才是真正的去中心化未来,多谢Nostr ,未来的发展会以技术的形式影响到现实世界,从而让人类社会更加公平。就像以前旧时代的互联网已经改变了我们的生活,同时很不幸也让某些组织将不公平扩大到了互联网,Nostr让个体重新掌握了对抗的力量

The imagination space based on Nostr is vast, it can be used to build media platforms, social applications, communication tools, shopping platforms, financial services, etc. This is the true decentralized future, thanks to Nostr. The future development will affect the real world in the form of technology, making society more fair. Just like the old Internet era has changed our lives, unfortunately, some organizations have expanded unfairness to the Internet. Nostr gives individuals the power to regain control.

Jack, people won’t move from Twitter, I only come here to see boomers talking about bitcoin and some other serial killers.

Cool

Great idea

we need free marketplace for everything

Yes since Microsoft acquired git hub I thought it would be a good idea for something else. The migrating of all the data from git would be long.

+1. Also democracy from 400BC was always controlled by the rich, slow change to Rousseau’s Social Contract in 18 century integrating direct voices into the US charter 20th century but still too many bureaucratic layers, hits and misses. The beatnik rise was to shift the control of high income group to the working class over 3 decades from the 50’s , but the fastest it took for Ppl to directly voice out to the leaders of the country, and force bad policies to be overturned would be the Social Media era. Twitter’s been ard for 15 yrs, still a baby, compared to the past centuries but faced hiccups on separating the good and bad of capitalism and suppression. Nostr would be the one level up removing that suppression.

Also lots of other use cases. Damus founder Will suggested advertisers directly paying content creators - which removes ad control over devs and more builds eg market place for creative producers and continuous improvements of contents creation in a fair open market. Another on is sms integration for areas that lack internet infrastructure (sea cables or satellite internets) or based on needs/ preference. Also trade and commerce (real goods not NFTs) would be epic - perhaps a bridge between Nostr and web5 ? For now, anyone can sell something on Nostr for sats with tipping and zaps in place - no pain of foreign currency exchange, traditional banking challenges etc. I want to look into helping small manufactures globally to reduce supply dependency on hegemony countries. One of my fav perspective on adopting Bitcoin as functioning currency is @npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt’s writings.

Also Jack’s Tidal is an interesting social experiment to watch out for - whether on Nostr or not, it maximises perks for creative contributors, captures the good of capitalism yet remains decentralised. Ideally it would be the best of a few eras summed up.

You might also see a shift on how user adoption influences the growth of communication - right now relays are based on accessibility and spams but this can also shift based on interest, communities, or influencers - everything that has happened over the past century is on fast forward in Nostr and it’s just super exciting watch everything happen

can you explain this idea of "a github replacement that Bitcoin core would feel safe using." a bit further?

ah, I think i get it

or do I? perhaps the first point would be "a github replacement that nostr core would feel safe using." https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr.

do you mean something like `git push wss://nos.lol`?

inscriptions 🤔

maybe a kind of github on chain would be useful:

saving the code on its own chain avoiding 3rd parts.

or just the hash ...

Gitea is working on activity pub integration which is very interesting

Shouldn’t it also work as an uncensorable bioRxiv/medRxiv/researchgate

不得不承认世界上绝大部分人不在乎隐私也不在乎去中心化,nostr在单纯的用户体验实现对web2 app的降维打击似乎很难。
