Nostr Web Client

it might be slightly diff train of thoughts in terms of understanding the communication patterns as i think data analysis is more passive and the formulae based variables would be more of an active reaction - but data analysis is an excellent start and would be a great study in understanding the existing behaviors of relays and will provide a lot of input to devs here.

There are some publicly available data on Primal and Nostr.Band but I don't know enough of Nostr or existing data analysis programs to pursue this conversation, but let me tag nostr:npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c who has been very helpful in providing tech guidance.

Hi nostr:npub1nlk894teh248w2heuu0x8z6jjg2hyxkwdc8cxgrjtm9lnamlskcsghjm9c , Ken and friend are keen on contributing to Nostr from a math-skillset and the conversation is bouncing off various ideas, one is on the potential data analysis to understand the current behaviors of Nostr. I don't know if there is a publicly available data but would you be able to point him in the direction ?

I guess math without coding, around decentralized tech is probably about statistical analysis of how systems are working now and improve. Trying to contribute to decentralization. Also cryptography is applicable. Trying to improve security of things. Carefully studying cashu maybe regarding the cryptographic nature of it or general security of it since it is a new thing?

This paper may be related? Exploring the Nostr Ecosystem: A Study of Decentralization and Resilience. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.05709v1.pdf

Maybe ideas around how nostr may fail? Centralization, lack of adoption, secret key management issues, how to include most "useful" notes and exclude the harrassment at the same time .. .
