Phones and compute, despite a monetary system based on debasement, continue to become cheaper.
I would frame a sub $100 phone as a challenge to the nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 folks in order to improve access, and let them figure tradeoffs, if any.

I observe GOS does not have unlimited resources to build a GOS device from the ground up. However, Block hardware team just might.

nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 are working with an OEM to add a non-pixel device that meets GOS requirements.

nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w if yall can figure out how to do gated content with requiring nip-07/other login, you will drastically reduce barriers to use.
If y’all haven’t already, try bitchat. To me it is the most refreshing onboarding experience, as it hides create account/login.

It looks ugly. However the off grid benefits might overcome aesthetics.
In continental Europe, solar panels are *maybe* practicable in the south Iberian, Apenine, Balkan peninsula and in the Med. Running the numbers is required vs grid.
In “sunny” Germany they are expensive virtue signaling fenceposts.
If your goal is independence from the grid, and resilience then this is a based matter.
I feel like you aren’t reading the responses both myself and nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 have provided.
Primal, is a centralizing service, and making decisions on the content they determine is acceptable to forward to their UI/app.
Damus, shows you all the content that is on the connected relays as expected and what any real Nostr app should do.
Maybe nostr:npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc can help explain the primal aggregator
Or captcha that bypasses the captcha by way of a zap/nutzap

Captcha that pays the captcha solver sats
would it make sense to look into #meshtastic? Could be another useful transport layer. https://meshtastic.org/
Meshtastic is great, however my understanding is that it requires special hardware few have.
On the other hand there are six - seven billion mobile devices with wi-fi that people have at home, work, in their pocket.
#DEVSTR how might we make a relay that only accepts shitposts?
There are “reviews” for mints, which set up the reviewers for failure when the rug is pulled.
The marketplace spec has reviews mentioned - https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/99.md - and these make perfect sense for this use case.

Investment banker snaketongue “Goldman Sachs frames the crisis simply: “AI’s insatiable power demand is outpacing the grid’s decade-long development cycles, creating a critical bottleneck.”
Means we FAFO’d by virtue signaling climate scam for two decades, and now China will eat our data center’s lunch.

nostr:npub1xzrkzsrnr83vn7h0udq6tnapwpswy5equlrtkn3nu0e0anlmzynqne0qap is also looking at extending to e.g. mkstacks.
Regarding the validation application - yes for applesauce this is a great use case for schemata.
I think I saw someone else working on it. nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5?

Auggie is looking at nip-10.
Acea will port a nip-99 marketplace schema in the next months.
What I am asking:
-you have someone new to nostr world
-they see something that requires sats
-how /where does bitchat (if at all) steer them to acquire their first e.g. 500 sats
That sounds great in theory.
The challenge is it is a pain in the backside for someone not familiar with this world to acquire this money.
The apps are fragile. The network is anti-fragile.
