I think this kind of “evidence based virtue” is how you end up with a whole host of heinous ideas. Just look how the 20th century french philosophers ended up haha
It depends on the subject. Are we talking about things like crypto projects or are we talking about “how do you know good thing is good” type of stuff?
With the latter, knowing is different from showing.
I like Common Sense Realism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_common_sense_realism
Remember that Hey app for iPhone back in the day? Need that running on nostr lol
Exactly. So the state is paying the teachers and school to educate you. But this “free” education is a benefit of being a citizen. And there are costs of being a citizen too.
People can’t pay directly to your student account. All the taxes go into the custody of the state. It is the state’s money at that point.
And the state chooses to spend it how it wants because it is their money then
If the state pays, then you owe the state something. Probably military time
So in the ideal world, a user only needs Envoy and Passport and they are good!
Love that you’re thinking in this holistic way.
Could you maybe write an article or something about how you picture the average non-techie person using these two products in their day to day?
Would love to get a better picture of how you’re envisioning it. Especially around account recovery (foot shooter) situations
Do you think there could be a good way to only show top level posts in the main feed? Seeing every single reply from everyone I follow is just SO MUCH noise. Would be nice to filter it out
The tech industry will pick up hiring again soon. It’s been down for about 9 months, but it can’t last much longer, right? Right?
It’s time you experienced Bitcoin, simplified.
This new update transforms Envoy into a standalone Bitcoin mobile wallet with powerful account management and privacy features, yet only a 60s onboarding and 2-tap recovery.
Self-custody for everyone 🔥

We’re thrilled with how simple onboarding and recovery becomes with Magic Backups, where we rely on end-to-end encryption to ensure that no one but you can ever access your seed phrase.
All of this is 100% free and open-source, so it’s verifiable from day one.
This rapid onboarding and simple recovery without the normal headache of explaining seed phrases and stamping steel helps you onboard your friends, family, even your grandma to self-custody their Bitcoin today.
No tech-savvy necessary.
Our Magic Backups are entirely optional, and those of you who prefer the standard seed phrase approach can use Envoy from day one.
We’ve worked hard to make the seed phrase entry and verification easier than ever before as well, so no user is left behind.
As a reminder, this is a hot wallet for spending on the go, not storing your life savings!
For more security, we’ve engineered Passport from the ground up to be hyper-secure, airgapped, yet still easy to use and perfectly compatible with Envoy.
If this is a hot wallet, what is recommended for the life savings?
Aggregation in order to get an average score (for example) would have to be done on the client's side, but for structuring them based on https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/532 I would do something like:
{"tags": [["r", "https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/197-braveheart"], ["L", "review"], ["l", "movie", "review"], ["quality", 0.9]], content: "I like freedom"}
This might be displayed as a 4.5 star review for Braveheart, searchable by namespace ("review") and label within that namespace ("movie").
Wow, that is excellent!! Makes me wonder how letterboxd could be done in a more nostr-native way. How much to outsource to existing content vs how much needs to be recreated in the app
Can you think of how the event would be structured if you wanted to apply a review to a movie object?
Would you be able to aggregate all reviews for that one object then?
Oh it’s a different kind of review hahah nvm
I've been working on a NIP to resolve a few different content labeling use cases (including reviews). If that sounds like a fun read to you, check it out and leave feedback: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/532
I am desperate for Letterboxd on Nostr! TMDB (the movie database) is free by the way :)
Got my first NIP merged into the Nostr protocol. 💪
NIP-30: Custom Emoji https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/30.md
could this be expanded to entire sticker packs? Would be cool to have a service like Signal’s sticker pack system but it runs on nostr
I’m really looking forward to a walllet that is use-case oriented rather than feature oriented
nostr has its issues. but for those who figure it out, it’s the most powerful network that exists today. challenge is helping more people figure it out.
likely most of that won’t come from social use cases, but rather the microapps that #[0] originally envisioned and folks like #[1] are focused on building.
the power of this thing is the ecosystem part. it’s permission-less, meaning anyone can build whatever they want, and it has a permission-less global payment system readily available through bitcoin. but neither will sell people on joining it.
if the apps built on top of nostr do valuable things, like https://highlighter.com does, then every nostr app and use case benefits, including the social clients.
this is going to be a long road, but one that fundamentally changes the way people experience the internet. if it doesn’t succeed itself, it will certainly inspire the thing that does.
The killer app is just the same identity across everything.
Imagine using letterboxd, twitter, and goodreads, but you only need one account
The main reason the average user stays on iOS is “blue bubbles”.
But you can’t even search content within a specific convo. It’s just insane to me
