In yesterday's live call, we publicly shared this diagram for the first time.

It shows the architecture of "The Atomic Economy", a system for providing the world's first digital free-market society.

This chart provides a clearer view of Synonym's current plan to deliver its (recently updated) Vision & Mission. No other company or FOSS community has ever provided a plan as comprehensive and complete as this, for engineering a free society with technology.

This is "Hyperbitcoinization" grown up and delivered as a viable plan, for everyone. We approached this as a civic engineering challenge, not a profit motive, not a control motive, but a working open system that functions from the individual outward.

We'll be sharing more about our updated Vision & Mission, and the thinking behind this design, very soon.

Open sourcing the strategy is just as important as open sourcing the code

Saying that, a few weeks ago you condemned Nostr to pointless, niche, and unproductive people

Why even post this here if that’s the case?

i dont really understand what you want, but when you have a sincere question or useful feedback, let me know

Well John, I had the pleasure of spending an hour with you a couple of years back on my podcast, and you taught me a lot about where your life had taken you

A few weeks back your Nostr post wrote off Nostr as pointless

Ironic, in that why share that view in a place that was pointless, but clickbaity in its essence, so I responded

Now you’ve shared something of value, which I acknowledge, but question why you bother if Nostr is pointless

It’s always been sincere. And given our previous conversation I’ve always lead with the benefit of the doubt

Most people, including yourself, use more than one social media app. I actively use 5 or so, plus chat apps. It's obtuse to ignore that an aspect of creating things is sharing those things with as many people as possible, wherever it is most appropriate.

Nostr people need to know they have been misled, and how Pubky goes above and beyond anything this community has managed to emerge.

So, "WhY dO yOu sOcIaLizE iN mOrE tHaN oNe PLaCe JoHn?" is not a sincere perspective, it is vengeful one. The real question is something like "How dare you come into our house and insult our furniture?"

Do you see the problem here?

The fact that there are people using Nostr does not disprove any of my prior criticisms, does it? If people use a website, does that make them believers of all the tech inside it?

This whole idea of protocol allegiance is a huge problem, it's Bitcoin derangement syndrome, where you think it is some sort of offensive taboo to doubt the tech, just because everyone here needs to believe they are "early" and "see the matrix" or something.

Just be honest and say "John, I wish you could find a way to make it more comfortable to agree with you, it hurts my ego when you attack nostr" so we can talk about real things, instead of constantly finding passive aggressive ways to cut me down because I can refute your theories.

A lot in this I totally agree with, even if hard to admit

Feedback, especially negative, can be the hardest to distill

Time will tell if Nostr is a failure

In the end, the most effective way to evaluate Pubky it to be interested in it, and how things like it work, why they differ, etc.

While it can be easy to start by contrasting it to Nostr, there is no way for me to do so while also making Nostr lovers feel comfortable and superior (unless I lie, coddle, equivocate, undersell Pubky, etc, etc).

Many people would already consider Nostr a success, and for many different reasons, including myself... it just depends on the context.

Just keep at it. Maybe it'll catch on!

Too complicated, just #dwar
