Identity is the only temporary ‘band aid’ they have for filtering bots.

Identity opens the door to offering micropayments. Incumbents will also use identity as the means to censor. They will make social media borderline unusable without it.

Nostr + Lightning zaps present a completely different ecosystem, without such walls & restrictions ⚡️ nostr:note1w24v5kr987804evn70a3aed44y5k83j72809a0w4w75rdhpq0aws6jqvzj

💯 Things will really heat-up this weekend nostr:note1zkqvhr6sreyhv30qnmy9nkl7eu4kvswflx62re23hpgttgztea5smccmfv

Looking to build on Nostr? More and more grants are becoming available… nostr:note13nk9gd6ej8ycar6zp28ezaq6jzlnyj6edz77ek220gl5d5h28vhs49gw7m

Is Elon a trojan horse?

I’m finishing off an article this week, looking at Starlink’s progress. Plus the implications on our future internet.

Today, Tuesday 17th, is likely to be the day traditional markets take a tumble. They’ll try and save things until the weekend before things really truly turn south.

Stay humble folks.

We really should be more bullish on Payjoins…

“Payjoins will make privacy the default on-chain, without any additional transactions”

Would you be open to relocating? Often voting with your feet is the best option.

The next innovation no one is ready for…

“Nanotechnology has made nearly anything possible, and so the cultural role in deciding what SHOULD be done with it had become more important than imagining what COULD be done with it.”

One of my favourite lines refers to Psuedo-Intelligence not Artificial Intellogence.

“You know, when I was a lad, they called it A.I. Artificial Intelligence”

Would love to demo & test this out. Lightning payments over Mesh networks…

Mesh networks… anyone got any good repos to take a look at?

The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new… ⚡️

Great write-up!

Just an FYI, on mobile, individual articles on your site seem to extend beyond 100% width. Might need some CSS to style entries as per blog overview 👌

Furthermore, I sense we're underplaying the importance of more flexible filtering.

With now zero cost for content creation, it's incredibly important to filter signal amongst the noise. Custom filtering & algorithms for users should become the norm over curated lists & content.

Setting a minimum zap for DMs, minimum zaps for posts to appear in the feed, automatic categorisation & tagging - all of these bring power to users. Would love to see more experimentation in this area

We must segregate A) work from social, B) banking from health, C) marketplace from data storage. One public/private key pair is not good practice, just like merging UTXOs isn't good practice on Bitcoin. We can do better.

Layered identity on Nostr needs to become the norm. We should be building this into today's clients & products.

When you’re next in 🇺🇾, would love to catch-up! Salud 🧉

Great read. Idiot proof (almost) & yet concise.

What are the chances of getting our hands on the computed monthly/annual values? More than 3% I would hope…
