Yes but the trade-off is that it then becomes even harder for folks to be discovered on Nostr.

Replying to people & zapping is a way for a new user to be discovered & build some trust.

Using a WoT to filter replies builds in a kind of invitation system to your social network.

I'm not saying that it's not the best approach but that there are tradeoffs. This is especially true if most clients implement this functionality.

I'm starting to suspect that one reason some Bitcoiners are bearish on nostr is because they are stuck in the mindset that distributed networks have to guarantee message delivery, message permanence, and thus form consensus around that.

They don't understand that nostr network fragmentation is actually flexibility.

One concept I've considered is each parcel having shares. Or a pool of shares that applies to any property. The group would have to make a plan for each property (how many homesites, how large is a homesite/private area), then determine how many shares one needs to claim a homesite.

There are many ways to slice things up, and I think many of them will work. What's more important than "which practical solution is best" is if all parties understand and agree to their own terms.

This is somewhat similar to the original concept of condominiums from days of old.

a #nostr app for that

Years ago, every week I drove past properties for sale in the mountains that were 100-2000 acres.

I would dream about ways to buy one of these properties with friends, since the idea of doing it alone seemed out-of-reach, or would turn into me being a landlord for people with nothing personally invested.

I looked for others with a similar desire, and found some, but they were often "all talk and no action".

I finally found a few folks that were willing to hold regular meetings, (which seemed like a miracle), and get tasks completed. I learned a lot, and it helped me fill in some gaps as to how it would all work.

The idea, for me, has grown in several ways. First, was realizing that the group would have to be an investment group first. This concept alone turns away a lot of the subculture that is attracted to the idea of sharing rural land.

The original idea was to secure a single property, now I see that a network of properties is better. Each plot specializing in what that land best provides, and trading with the others.

I see people on Nostr mentioning Citadels, and realized they may be describing this same desire. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

If I'm correct, then realize that there are enough people wanting to make a new and better reality to have multiple "Citadels" in most states.

I have a wonderful habit of deleting past posts. Find them while you still can. Stay connected.

Fascinating thoughts. The group (id) is just another npub. A shared private inbox.

There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.

This looks like a useful #homesteading skill.

You need salt, otherwise dictionary attacks are easy.

#FreePavel

But…

It is foolish how he thought Telegram could indefinitely operate a network without default E2E encryption and not play ball with regimes.

I see the same sort of presumption from Nostr devs/proponents ignoring the core architectural problem of needing relays.

Probably an unpopular opinion but it has to be said. Relays will be the death of Nostr but it’s not too late to fix it. The protocol is still in its infancy.

Not gonna lie, I found myself thinking and rethink about how amazing and glorious #nostriga was.

Extremely positive and constructive vibes along with "#nostr is gonna eat the world"
