I wonder if Nostr is a good protocol for prediction markets. Or too slow?

Remember all the talk about prediction markets on bitcoin?
It looks like the market wanted the idea, but unfortunately the most popular one runs atop a shitcoin.
If you’re ready now, why wait?
I feel it wouldn’t be so difficult to create such a book now, make up a story of how only a few hard copies exist in some libraries, write some Wikipedia articles about it and spread it far and wide. A psyop basically.
“Is this an edge case or part of basic functionality?”
Initially, Plati will be custodial. Moreover, only cold wallet.
First of all, it’ll take me a lot more time to figure out non-custodial setups. Better delegated to a professional software engineer when the time is right.
Secondly, I’m not even sure about ability to secure a hot wallet correctly. Even though I think I can integrate automated transactions using my bitcoin node, I decided to go full cold storage at the moment. Again, a proper engineer will have to tackle this when it’s appropriate.
I’m using a “ship fast for proof of concept” approach (and even that took time!). But when I see it work in the wild, all bets are off: self-custodial, nostr, Lightning, Ark, you name. Everything will be explored, evaluated and integrated if proven useful.
So, obviously, users shouldn’t store on Plati what they’re not comfortable losing.

The deployed app seems to be functioning well.
It’s time to make a quick landing page.
#PlatiDev
This is the current Customer screen on Plati.
I wanted to make it dead simple: Scan a QR code or paste payment link, and your order immediately goes to the order book. You can wait for someone to pay your invoice or cancel it.

I’ll release a beta soon. It’s called Plati. It works only with Russian QR codes for now.
I’m doing this for Russia! But there are more countries for sure
Damn. A preview of what my CTO will have to deal with when I find one.
I’ve been using zero-drop barefoot shoes for years. Fantastic.
That’s a morning routine you can package as a paid vitality course!
They literally integrated Wallet of Satoshi via API.
Well, after a few days of debugging, I was able to deploy my Plati prototype. I used Replit’s automated and very convenient deployment feature but I’m sure I can do it elsewhere, too.
There is no limit to improvements and new features that I can develop, but at this point I want actual real-life testing by users.
So, if it’s pretty stable in the next few days, I’ll start working on getting some minor volumes from real users.

Rudolf Steiner was a chad. He also basically invented permaculture (biodynamic agriculture) and alternative schooling (Waldorf schools).
Yep. Fake and cheap for poor people. Real experience will be affordable to the rich.
