How can you watch that and not burst into laughter. Itās like sketch comedy.
Think any of that is possible/feasible? I donāt know enough of the technical aspects to know
Iām very excited about nostr because of the things we have not built yet, but are definitely coming because once you see them itās hard not to try to make it happen.
What Iām most excited about:
1. Multi-media apps on nostr. One I cannot stop thinking about is Zapstr (but re-focused on music only, with a simplified interface). Ok, this one already sort of exists, but the potential is huge IMO and has not even been touched.
2. Adult industry clients. Even if you disagree with them, I think thereās so much potential in zap-to-unlock content, and clients designed specifically for that media consumption experience.
3. Non-adult media consumption - apps that allow you to scroll and consume content quickly. We have an app like that already (forget the name) which has a ton of potential if fully refined.
4. āDeckā clients - https://snort.social/deck these will need a lot of work to make them feel snappy fast, but once there I think we can do so much in terms of the content that can be added into various columns. Lume is also heading in the right direction IMO.
5. Simple music players that can be integrated into any client. I cannot stop thinking about a global jukebox or zap-to-play.
6. Easy multi-account switching. Some clients already have this but itās not as fast as it could be. I think having multiple personas may help content creation on Nostr. I would like to push clients to make npub switching as easy as possible.
7. Nostr widgets - any cool use case such as ecash designed into great looking widgets that are easily carried over into clients.
8. Better notifications - automated stream alerts, automated nests reminders
9. AI tool integrations such as automated nests transcripts, stream transcripts.
10. Video uploading (think YouTube). I think this could grow nostr tremendously when we can link people to content shared on a nostr video client instead of YouTube
11. Better Long-form content consumption within social clients. I think at least a few clients have the designs already but it hasnāt been developed much.
12. Better sharing mechanisms, built in sharing buttons, anything to get the word out to other platforms.
13. Highlighted media (text, audio) within clients that can support that. Highlights from articles, from friends, bookmarked / shareable highlights page (think your personal book shelf but for highlights, and you can share it with anyone).
14. Zap-splitting tracks, playlists.
15. Real time sat streaming while playing music or podcasts
16. Better communities. Reddit is cool, but I think we can do much better. I feel that this space has so much potential that we are just not exploring yet.
17. Niche use cases nobody is thinking about like Stargazr (lyrics interpretation client).
18. Traditional app integrations with nostr apps. This is a big one that I haven not heard anyone talk about yet. What makes Slack powerful is not that it works as a chat app - but the integrations theyāve built in over time. Nostr can do the same if we forgo the ānostr onlyā mentality and start integrating with other apps. This also gives us a marketing channel within those vendor integration pages, announcements / tweets.
19. SEO - donāt see anyone thinking about SEO or so it seems. HUGE area of opportunity that requires some thinking and applying.
Iām probably forgetting a lot of things and not anticipating other awesome ideas. Thereās so much to build! We may not have a million active users, but the possibilities for new types of interactions are endless. No other protocol or app can match it.
Great list. Video uploading will be the most important for free speech.
Also having a client specifically designed to preserve text (down to the letter) like definitions would be great. B/c the government loves to re-write them. Would also be good for medical information, as they are already censoring this.
And a client thatās focused on archiving, ie better way back machine that can be verified by users.
We should call you Lindygirl
Yep, itās very similar to those other categories.
Checkout āOrthodoxyā by GK Chesterton.
For me itās been rabbit hole, except the work required to go deeper down is exponentially greater than any other topic. Because a large aspect canāt be intellectualized.
You can read about jujitsu your entire life but until you practice it youāll never actually understand it. Same with Christianity.
Gods speed brother

AI grammar and spell check embedded into Nostr clients. One day.
Good stuff here. On the analogy of a play. Like Shakespeareās play, Christianity has multiple components, not just text, the practice of play (tradition) increases the fidelity in which information is transferred. But itās even more than that the experience of the practitioners continually verifies the the scripture and tradition. Whereas with Shakespeare, thereās no such process.
Broad bush: It seems like youāre disagreements are with the current lay people.
If we tought everyone in the country jujitsu and 98% of the people are terrible vs some objective measure, what does that mean that jujitsu itās self is the problem? When the same jujitsu teachings have produced different and much better results at a different time in the not so distant past.
Donāt judge jujitsu by itās amateurs (myself included)
This is by design, debt is the only way to get the world to voluntarily enter into slavery.
Just like all sins you willingly participated.
I think we all just need to agree conceptually
Gold=BTC(coin)
Gold ā BTC network/lighting.
BTC = Gold + BTC network
The network is what makes BTC trump gold.
Returns are not comparable due to vastly different time in the market between the two.
But go further, the only reason why those things are important is from a censorship and message reach standpoint.
Mine understood when I brought up censorship.
How many grammatical errors can you make on Nostr before you just have to delete your account and start over. Can you even delete an account? š
Nostr is very similar to Guns, in that they have to be effective but they donāt necessarily have to be used to achieve the desired outcome. Itās the existence of the option that presents a problem for the authoritarians.
We are still working on the effectiveness aspect of Nostr.
At a base level It really could achieve its goal if no one uses Noster except when ātheyā where performing a psyop or censorship. Everyone comes to nostr gets the truth psyop stops, no need for Noster. Over exaggeration but you get the point.
Iād agree this has probably happened to some degree but couldnāt chalk everything up to misunderstanding, especially when you have so much context, combined with millions religious scholars devoting their entire lives to the study of these texts, with unbroken chains of translation, also embodied in human action and tradition.
It would be like if there was a group of people who devoted their entire lives to one Shakespeare play, the translation of that play and performance of that play. Who had preformed the play everyday since it was created.
Yeah same thing they did with Gold, effectively selling fake BTC, soaking up demand and depresses prices.
My worry is that if they do that and keep the price depressed, they would drive out the vast majority of miners.
Iād differ here. Even if they do print and buy all the BTC. Itās not about the ability to own the currency that matters itās the ability to make more of it at will.
If they buy all the BTC and canāt make more they lose. If they can make paper BTC they may survive, which is what Iām expecting. Why self custody is so important.
