Getting escrow added to nostr:npub15dc33fyg3cpd9r58vlqge2hh8dy6hkkrjxkhluv2xpyfreqkmsesesyv6e is definitely a priority; it would make the UX almost completely seamless and familiar for newer users. BitEscrow would make this 10x easier, but they currently don’t have Lightning support (once it’s released, though, that will be a game changer). We’ve been ideating on using Cashu mints or HODL invoices; currently just testing what works best.
I’m personally very excited by the amount of jobs the escrow services would be able to provide. Tons of stay at home job opportunities for people
BitEscrow has released their API and docs very recently. Should make it easier
nostr:npub16dhgpql60vmd4mnydjut87vla23a38j689jssaqlqqlzrtqtd0kqex0nkq how does it work today? How often do rugpulls happen, and how do you prevent?
How does it work today? Transactions are final. There are no protections
So buyers and sellers don’t get screwed over.
Fundamentally, EBay and Amazon are escrow services that protect buyers and sellers from abuse.
Are there any plans to integrate it with an escrow? https://bitescrow.app
Has development on Nostr marketplace continued?
Community Notes is by far the best thing about Twitter today
So if you want to onboard instagram/TikTok users, you might want to have a look at nostr:npub1p4kg8zxukpym3h20erfa3samj00rm2gt4q5wfuyu3tg0x3jg3gesvncxf8 's hypernote project. Instead of trying to make kind 1's work for this use case.
They could be more than websites even. Check out the Open Canvas Working Group https://x.com/orionreedone/status/1768292314802201087?s=46
Now? Nothing. Maybe lightning via chaumian mints.
Ark might be better later on though https://arkdev.info/docs/
nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z does Amethyst have a sticker feature? It would be really nice to not have to host the same reaction images 800 times. But I’m not seeing any clients that have stickers. Is amethyst the only one?
We got some questions about the gossip/outbox model, so I’ll clarify Primal’s position.
We like the outbox model. We think it will help nostr scale and become more censorship resistant. Primal will roll out support for the outbox model in several steps. We recently upgraded all Primal clients to manage relays per NIP-65. We are currently in the process of upgrading our clients to leave relay hints on all published events to make sure that outbox clients work well with the content published by our clients. Next we will randomize the default list of relays for new users to help spread content out. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service.
Imho, the winning approach involves using the outbox model together with caching nodes, giving us the best of both worlds. I described this approach a year ago when we launched the preview of Primal:

I like the idea of using the caching service for more superfluous things like follower counts
It’s about taking steps to earn trust. Open Sourcing the code is one step, yes. Because you’re allowing people to run their own code if they want to. But like U said above there are other ways of earning trust if you don’t want to open source code.
It’s not “all or nothing” with trust. If you hide your identity, have a scammy website, AND don’t share the code… well that’s three strikes in terms of earning trust

Is the Star a badge? So it’ll show up on any nostr client that supports badges?
The idea to have some way to distinguish AI from human is a good one though. That’s not saying AI is bad, just good to clearly mark it
should absolutely support multiple categories. categories == tags (or multiple "uplinks") basically.
I agree nostr:npub19ma2w9dmk3kat0nt0k5dwuqzvmg3va9ezwup0zkakhpwv0vcwvcsg8axkl !
nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch what goes inside of the [[]]? Where do I find that value to put in there?
Can an article be tagged with multiple categories? Also, is there a plan for links between articles? Can we tag with just an nevent id so that the link isn’t centralized under the Wikifreedia domain?
Tact becomes a much more valuable skill in a decentralized network
Many people are quite excited by the notion of “total freedom” to say anything and act however they want, not knowing that everyone is muting them because their speech and behavior is abhorrent
