What emoji do you use to represent nostr? Most of the birds I've found are not quite right. The dodo is ok 🦤 but I wish there was an ostrich...
We're still early. Most have yet to realize the swell that's coming. But once the flywheel for open, interoperable identity and web of trust starts spinning, it spins fast.
And that's to say nothing of what happens once we get AI agents with nostr keys taking off as well.
Gonna be a fun ride 😉 ⚡🚀

I’m thrilled that @nubank has selected @Lightspark to bring the Bitcoin Lightning Network and UMA (Universal Money Addresses) via the @umastandard to its platform and customers. Now working with the Nubank team on the integration. Vamos! https://www.lightspark.com/news/nubank-announcement ⚡ 
To be clear, this a BFD! Probably the biggest announcement for the Lightning Network to date. Huge props to nostr:npub18m4nmc2wchzgcmzvnluqjzxyrpshp64mwje2vuz60kulny3v6c0qtgcl2x, David, Christian, Jeremy, and the Lightspark/Nubank teams for making this happen.

Woah for real!? I didn't see that either. I assumed it would come but like in a year or 2.
Where I can link my account to npub, I'm not seeing that message show up or any option in settings. Is it a beta feature?
This pushed me over the edge! I'm ecash pilled 🤯

We need more dank (non bitcoin) memes on nostr
Wasn't someone working on a nostr meme marketplace?
Just checked it out! Is there web client I can log into with something like Alby or nsecbunker?
Yea it's a very fair point. Simple key pairs is just the starting point. We'll need to figure out how to rekey people potentially with something like social recovery and/or pre-commitments. I believe we'll solve these problems over time though. Getting adoption for an interoperable protocol is much more challenging though imo and that's where Nostr is beginning to shine
[New Essay] Nostr is Identity for the Internet
The Internet needs user-owned identity and an associated open data layer. And I'm more convinced than ever that Nostr will win.
I agree with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m that the long tail of microapps is ultimately Nostr's killer feature. But which will take off next?
In my mind, Nostr will follow a straightforward trajectory - first solving discovery/reputation problems for Bitcoiners, then for early tech adopters, and finally for the mainstream. Here are some examples where I think Nostr based discovery & reputation will shine:
- Global, social payments ala nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm & nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw

Of course the most exciting category of all is the unexpected wave of unimaginable apps that will eventually emerge. Ultimately, user owned identity and open data lead to online trust, which is a beautiful and deflationary force, capable of disrupting predatory marketplace middlemen and shifting the balance from financial to social capital. I.e. a more humane world. (h/t nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj)

I didn’t realise it was written pre-Nostr days and as I was reading I was like: “well, this is exactly what Nostr fixes”
😆😆
I remember your enthusiasm at Nostrica last year. Now I understand it 😉

Will this be the first million sat note?

How long until the first million dollar Nostr note?
Amazing! I used to use Urbit. Love the aesthetic, but it's way too complex (and suffers from all the pure p2p problems) to gain adoption anytime soon imo. I'm all in on Nostr. What are you experimenting with?
Ok. Been meaning to publish this for a little while now.
I think reviews are an extremely underrated / under explored design space for application that want to leverage Nostr (in particular, the social graph).
In this essay, the first of a series I want to publish on nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x, I break down:
- how reviews drive commerce
- despite their being broken / fake / easily gamed
- how the internet originally won
- what’s needed to make the internet functional again (upgraded stack)
- how this upgraded stack makes a whole new design spaces possible
- how ONE of the many things we’ll fix is reviews
- how we’re going about it with a project we’re calling Satlantis
nostr:npub18lzls4f6h46n43revlzvg6x06z8geww7uudhncfdttdtypduqnfsagugm3 - as promised. Put it up on highlighter.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m - this is what I was alluding to last week. That being said, I want to dig deeper on your particular comment, and I’ll do that in the next essay.
nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt - Thankyou for your early feedback 🙏🏽
Great essay! Nostr is definitely the way to go for a reviews site. Probably starting with Bitcoin adjacent reviews.
I've got a piece coming soon that considers some other ways Nostr identity/WoT might be useful. It feels like these use cases are about to explode...
nostr:note1k9a7f0spdmqgacw9z9u3fehpx6aymye0g2ja44zpzzfvykwelarqv4drqc
All fair! I don't either but my strong intution is that Nostr is the most important thing happening in the world right now. It's far simpler than PGP and has waaay faster grwoth rate (if not more users in absolute terms already)
https://moxie.org/2015/02/24/gpg-and-me.html
And Bitcoin is very symbitotic with Nostr. Nostr is the identity layer for Bitcoin payments. And Bitcoin is the value for Nostr messages.
It’s been a good weekend!
AFAICT Nostr is the first public/private key identity system that people actually use (with real potential to go mainstream)
And obviously ⚡ micropayments are just ready for primetime as well
