The banks threaten to shut down our bank accounts for what we say on social media.

At the same time, we build an uncensorable social media with an integrated, uncensorable payment system.

I'm a man of habit.

Lol, did the open-source community accidentally just fix the LLM hallucination problem? 😳

Context:

It seems like the Shrek entropy sampler with early exit solves, if not significantly reduces, the hallucination problem with big boy models. Some people are running evaluations now, and so far, it seems promising. 👀

Good progress with #nostr #safebox this weekend. I got the sending part of NIP-17 dms working; you can dm any npub or NIP-05.

The command line looks like this:

$> safebox dm trbouma@openbalance.app "hello from a safebox"

Next part is converting all of my ecash dms to NIP-17 (currently using NIP-04). That'll take a few days.

I also implemented an interesting feature which enables me to share a private record from a wallet. If I do the commend to create a private record:

$> safebox put private_record "This is content for a private record"

I can retrieve it by:

$> safebox get private record

Retrieving private_record "This is content for a private record"

I can also share the contents via a dm to a npub or nip05 address

$> safebox share private_record trbouma@openbalance.app

Not exactly sure what the use case will be, but I think it's pretty cool that you can share private details to someone you trust, in case of an emergency. The big use case I see, is storing and sharing medical information - I am exploring this possibility.

Anyway, I am having great fun building what I believe is a true sovereign wallet that can integrate payments, proofs, and private information - all under your sovereign control!

How many coffees per day does Nostr drink? Curious where I sit on the spectrum.

For me it's three americanos. Double shot in each from a fairly budget spec B2C machine. One at 5am, one at 10am and one after lunch.

How about you? ☕

#AskNostr

I sold several digital products in the past over 4 years or so and have ran numerous price tests; including letting people pay any amount they liked.

In total I had about 10,000 sales. (Sale doesn’t mean I made any money because customer could choose to “pay” nothing)

Of the 10,000ish sales, 7454 paid 0.

796 paid between $1 and $100

And the rest paid over $100.

ZERO people paid $100 voluntarily. It was only because I set a price that people paid this.

The product where I set no asking price had 2284 sales. Of those, only 16 people paid over $1

Almost the entire revenue I had came from charging what I viewed to be fair value. And while it was not my only income (i freelanced on top of that), the sales I had did help out a lot.

Maybe in a scaled nostr and the ease of payment with zaps the numbers would have been better for V4v, but in the legacy environment it just doesn’t work.

Part of the reason why pay what you want doesn’t work is because people need anchors - price anchors in the absence of comparative pricing. Price is one of the major signals which people use to make decisions and in the absence of price, people tend to equate that with FREE.
