where I'll be placing my bets in 2026

somebody please present the bull case for openai, I genuinely don't see it

Question for Nostr devs:

I’m trying to understand whether a traditional private account model can be built on Nostr using encrypted groups (NIP-EE). I know a lot of people who enjoy using their real name, but not broadcasting everything publicly.

Idea:

When you “follow” someone, the client is really adding you to one of that user’s encrypted follower-circles. But their posts to that circle appear in your feed; the client just makes the group a feed to mimic the pattern we're used to. Users never see “groups”; they just see a normal follow/feed UI.

Is this even possible?

Example:

A follows B. B follows C & D, but only D follows B back.

A should see only what B shares with followers, not everything B sees from C & D.

No idea if this could actually be implemented

It’s truly inevitable

that's the plan!

Yeah we’d still have Nostr login and for topical relays we’d actually re-route notes posted to our relay to m servers dedicated to that topic. For example I love Detroit sports, I post about the Pistons on the internet (doesn’t matter where) and it gets routed to a “sports” relay without me needing to know that relay even exists.

We’ll basically route conversations to semantically similar conversations in real time across the entire web

custom recommendation engines that would work over the entire internet. similar to what parallel web systems is doing with search, but interest-based / user defined embeddings

I think if we combine nostr with mainstream content it will show the world that if every website used a native login, we'd be able to interact across all websites. so doing a ton of crawling/scraping of the entire internet essentially.

additionally reuse use the clustering process to create topical relays that would act similar to subreddits. classify each note + continuously run topic modeling on all notes to route notes to topical relays and clients could build dedicated clients on top

Something I’m exploring rn

Unsupervised learning over all notes to automatically spin up topical relays (based on the clusters) that clients can use for specific kinds of notes

All new content gets passed through classifiers and routed to topical relays with dedicated names, similar to subreddits, but purely automated with ML

We have to blend Nostr with mainstream content across the entire internet. Have all the features they’re used to (likes, comments, etc) there for them to use, but they’ll realize they can’t use them. This will be the point of education.

What’s up Reid

Working on this

awesome interview

i've noticed a lot more nostr-aligned posting on twitter recently, idk if it's something in the air or what

- indy devs vs twitter platform

- crashouts over the payments system

- "truth-seeking" grok glazing elon

interesting times

love it!

ironically I think this is the same pattern that gets people addicted to social media; consistent pattern interruptions, scrolling creates a feeling of seeking/hunting novelty, etc.

What is the poverty line? What does it actually mean? And how does the definition distort our view of how bad things truly are for most people?

Seems like nobody, other than Mike Green, actually thought to take a look

A good read:

would something like this built on nostr help with attestation? https://open.codeword.app/

just thinking you could do offline, "human 2fa", for people to verify they are are who they say they are

I’m right there with you

Spamming the comments with Nostr lol

just fun search/analytics stuff

very harmless but used the X logo without an official relationship most likely

happening now on X...

this is actually a very similar story of how I ended up here on nostr myself

"we're the everything app, the digital town square, but you must abide by our rules or you must gtfo"

this was excellent

Holy gold

we're building (or trying to build) that firehose right now

for devs, this will enable:

- real-time Nostr topic clusters you can search/query

- RAG over Nostr (Nostr version of Grok)

Soon... and very important

Build using Nostr, don't make it the selling point, let people realize its utility, and Nostr will spread.

Build using Nostr, make it the selling point, scare off normies, and Nostr won't spread.
