If we keep participating in non btc/dev/etc content too, it’s gonna open up the horizon for Nostr. Nice work
I guess as a follow up to this, if the state wanted to stifle your project by sponsoring a competitor, and/or even co-opt your project… twisting it for their purposes, aren’t you making it easier for that to happen with a license that allows follow up work to be closed source?
I totally get where you’re coming from. I struggle with this because I see the conflict as open source vs. closed source instead of state vs. xyz. I’d like to use the state to our advantage where possible- but tell me what I’m not seeing…
Thx
So do you feel the GPL chain restricts your offering too much? No worries about MIT being taken and used for closed source projects?
Nostr is the only one starting as an open protocol (that I know of).
Bluesky seems very closed, and even their proposed federation model is far from open. This is still governance, dressed up differently.
These villages you speak of can (and I would argue eventually will) all happen here, with different flavors, settings, filters, whatever… an open protocol lets this happen organically. Closed protocols by definition have an upper limit on growth. Sure they could somehow be part of this movement at the outset, but they’ll die out to an open protocol like Nostr eventually once it takes off
What free open source licenses are folks here using for their projects? Benefits/drawbacks? Curious on the takes of the community here.

Good morning! 🤙🏼
Got sent this from a friend who used to work at Polymarket:

“When prediction markets become kingmakers, who's really calling the shots, the crowd, the coders, or the ones holding the biggest bags?”
More proof that “crypto” isn’t decentralized- only various attempts at governance on different rails failing over and over again as they run face first into greed, corrupt incentives and black swans. Have any of them ever been designed for resilience against our worst tendencies? Nope. Only #bitcoin / #lightning / #ecash and #nostr is needed folks.
This mic drop is extra saucy with her voice and accent

They respond to lagging data, but the market responds to them. When they finally see a slowdown and start to cut, the market takes the cue and waits for further cuts, which slows activity further…
Spitznagel’s warning from November 2023: you should start worrying when the fed cuts rates.
Or better yet troll people on other platforms with only a preview of your post then a link here

This seems like a reasonable compromise
