HERE TOO. (THERE'S A LOT OF THAT GOING AROUND. THIS SPRING IS DIFFERENT. USHERING IN A FRESH NEW WORLD.)
In the context of decentralized technology there is a lot of gaps to bridge, as they are all context-specific
What we lack on Nostr is effective consensus mechanisms. When we can achieve decentralized consensus, we can achieve everything else.
The foundation of a Web of Trust is lists. Lists are the building block. On Nostr, this is NIP-51, which is why we now have sets of lists, kind 30000.
Even a few hours ago Pablo and Fiatjaf were considering wiki relay list management with yet another NIP-51 kind, and Pablo noted how NIP-51 could become bloated, assuming I interpreted their conversation correctly. I believe this trend will continue until NIP-51 lists become the foundation of the protocol. Sets of lists was an important step.
The rest isn't easy, but it will be rewarding.

Lists of people whose opinions I trust, when it comes to opinions about nostr lists :)
Lists of products I believe in
Lists of arbitrators I agree to use to settle disputes
Turns into a bit of a disambiguation mess? As in, 'I have this person on a list but it doesn't mean I trust them because this is a list I use to reference opposign ideas' 'what is an opposing idea'
A market of algorithms to choose from, with new users able to select randomly 'click in this square, whichever pixel you hit is a discovery algorithm created by someone on nostr.' 'or click in this box for algorithms from your friends and friends of friends' One algorithm could be 'pull all of the last 100 npubs to post in global more than 50 words and less than 250 with no grammatical errors and grab 3 of their friends added long ago. remove anyone that used a cuss word.' list them in order received, then rearrange based on assigning them each a single digit from the latest blockhash. then put them in alphanumeric order based on that assignment. then show all posts by them that have been zapped.' or the proletariat version 'show 100 posts by people who have never been zapped even though they have an attached wallet and don't appear to be often muted' or compare word usage to show similar people or..

We have shared with you our stories
Had ourselves a really big time
Fought in battles far from the homeland
Made love, even drank from the wine
And I wish we all could stay
But I bid you a farewell
And it means the world to play
But I bid you a farewell
Friends how’ve come so far to join us
We hope you come and join us again
Friends how’ve come to sing in the chorus
You floor us, we will sing till the end
And I wish we all could stay
But I bid you a farewell
And it means the world to play
But I bid you a farewell
And I wish we all could stay
But I bid you a farewell
And it means the world to play
But I bid you a farewell
We gathered here tonight
Did it up just right
And it’s all for you
We gathered here tonight
Did it up just right
And it’s all for you
We gathered here tonight
Did it up just right
And it's all for you

I am writing a serial story called 'Submersible' that is unique to Stacker News. SN is like Reddit, but with Bitcoin zaps instead of up and downvotes. Post articles, discussions, links, images, videos, and comment on them. Zap sats to the authors you appreciate. Don't worry if you don't have any Bitcoin sats, you can post for free for awhile until you earn some. Sign up now with this link -- it's free: https://stacker.news/signup/r/JohnBNevin
Here is a link to part #1 of 'Submersible': https://stacker.news/items/446662/r/JohnBNevin
Totally. As is would be plenty, but if anything get everyone that is already sympathetic to freedom here first.
Percentages as defined by original poster's preferences?
Thank you... zapped. Will it still be 'supported by' White Rabbit after the pull request is merged if post-edits have been made by Alice?
I am not advocating for people to switch to a v4v/nostr/bitcoin model with expectations that it will be the same. I don't know anyone who is. Thinking v4v, through Nostr and Bitcoin, will perform 100% the same as the best performing current existing alternative model, while the technology and the user base is in its infancy, is delusional. People who 'have bills to pay now' and are putting all their eggs into an experimental basket seem to be the ones that want the world as it exists to change, rather than changing their revenue models or diversifying to mitigate risk.
