Just thinking out loud, what if normalized data, like time-series entries were notes. It's inefficient but extremely powerful.

Each note would have to reference the table name, and any other meta information. But then each data point is now a signed entry available to anyone for filtering/sorting.

Anyone could provide their own data to compete for that data point.

Consumers of that data set could then choose their sources, average their sources, etc...

This would changed the way data science, finance, etc... is done.

Think crowd sourced excel.

How do you delete a note. I understand they may get lost, sure, but then again, that depends on the relays, right?

One of the arguments I heard in favour of ordinals which sort of made sense, at the beginning, before shit got a bit crazy, was that NFTs on #Bitcoin would allow for the uncensorable publishing of important but controversial information. If its an NFT on Bitcoin it's basically permanent, forever.

But isn't that what Nostr does? Notes can't be deleted. Because they're stored in multiple places. Nostr is a permanent record. And its a feature that's built into the protocol.

In other news: might write a bot that creates a GH issue for every note that contains "Vitor plz fix" so that I can remain lazy

Thomas Edison didn’t stack sats. 🧐

Is it just amethyst that just displays the gif link instead of showing the damn thing?

What would have to happen for you to consider Nostr a failure and move on to other things?

Everything scales in layers. This includes civilization. The foundation for every civilization is the people's belief system. This is the first layer. Money and the monetary syatem is the next layer - I call it civilizations' cornerstone. If you fuck up these two basic layers you fuck up every layer that has been built on top of them.

Yes, that is correct, however notes are not advertised as deletable. Some may expect they would be, but it's not their key feature. With stories it is their key feature.

That's a little different. No harm is done, if a relay and/or client doesn't respect your mute list. You can just stop using it and go on with your life.

However if you rely on a note being deleted and it isn't, it can potentially cause tremendous damage. In most cases it won't cause any damage or if any, only minor, but making an integral feature that promises [thing], which cannot be reliably satisfied in a trustless manner is potentially dangerous.

There is no way to make sure all clients will do that either.
