My hack for exercise. I do VR games that make me move. A lot of moves. I added kickbox resistance straps which add strength training to the aerobic exercise and gaming it makes it fun instead of suffering.
Adding video of how it looks and heart rate monitoring of my 49 years old personhttps://m.primal.net/LBch.mp4 . 
I would like to build open Graph computing over Nostr.
Any help and suggestions are welcome
What
-------
This note describes a basic framework for graph computation over Nostr Network. Nostr graph computation can find/calculate social data from the Nostr network. It may be able to find sub-communities, fields of interest, popular posts, etc
Why
-------
Graph computation is the base layer that allows the mining of social data from social networks.
Nostr is a protocol that enables social network applications.
Some of the more advanced and useful applications of social networks rely on computed social data. For example, a matching service based on a social network would use the ability to identify subgroups of connected entities or the ability to query for entities in a group who match some criteria.
Currently, every such app built on Nostr needs to compute its own social data. This is a complicated and costly process that narrows and centralizes the space of more complex and potentially highly useful applications.
Open-source social data mining utilities can lead to an open and distributed Nostr social data computation market, hopefully distributed between actors.
A framework and to some level, a protocol for computing Nostr social data can help achieve this goal.
How
-------
Big graph data computation requires a lot of processing, a lot of storage, and relatively complex software to manage it. These requirements tend to make Big graphs computation be done by gig centralized companies with enough resources to pull it.
This framework attempts to solve this by:
- Make use of relays as the data layer (storage) for graph computation and make the computation process as
- Define a low-level and hopefully simple protocol that allows disjointed actors to cooperate in the computation process and keep it distributed between different actors.
- Be an open-source software that can manage the synchronization between computation suppliers and allows other software developers to extend it to do more specific graph computation.
We differ on those points, but it's too complex (at least for me now) to prove them right or wrong, so I think we will leave this at that.
Thank you for the advice and for telling me about Neo4j Database.
The linked article describes Jack Dorsey's donation of ~250K$ to Nostr projects.
250k$ can buy approximately 1 year of work of 2 experienced developers. That's not very much and is practically nothing compared to the work required to build all the "Nostr software" live today.
Nostr was built mainly on belief, and I personally like the result.
If we only used immediate fundable projects as a guide for what to build, there would be no Nostr.
nostr:npub19wdg9zgna9zmyv25qefrcrjh3grkht2kag7yafunzwf0wrg63g7qsmlx5z,
As many other Nostr projects. It's not funded at the first stage.
I think if built correctly, the framework allows for a marketplace between social data consumers (Customer facing Apps that monetize social data), computational resource suppliers that supply social data and relays that store social data.
This marketplace can fund the evolution of such a protocol and framework while strengthening the base layers of Nostr.

Perhaps this is relevant to you:
To make a significant impact on the world, bitcoin needs to move from a store of value to a medium of exchange, allowing its 'hard money' properties to touch lives, change social orders, and stabilize its usage as world money.
A way to push this transition is a bitcoin crowdfunding platform for bitcoin ventures that repay investment in bitcoin.
Such a platform can encourage investors to convert their fiat currency to bitcoin for investment purposes. This would promote the growth of bitcoin businesses that focus on building for bitcoin use cases, earning bitcoin, and paying back to investors in bitcoin. Ultimately, this would lead to the development of a cross-border circular economy
Femi Longe, thank you for sparking this for me.
We've already got https://geyser.fund and Tallycoin.app. Bitcoin has had many crowdfunding apps since 2010, in fact.
I think both geyser and tallycoin are more like charity funds where people donate to a project rather then invest fund for future revenue.
IMO this makes the difference between a form of charity that is limited in its ability to grow and capitalism which allows limitless cooperation for the benefit of all participants.
In the spirit of connecting Bitcoin hubs, what do you think of a semi-distributed Bitcoin Crowd Fund built on Fedimint and Nostr?
The essence of it is:
"A platform for people to invest in entrepreneurs aiming to solve real-world needs using Bitcoin"
Here is a link to my thoughts about it so far in a Google doc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/110x1mZ6GNeFqU2EWdlIoAhvyoPtoEcgXbID95gGC9CU/edit?usp=sharing
Would love your opinion.
Now I understand. Thanks.
What is the use case?
If you have to trust someone to fulfill the promise of the IOU he owes you, why do you need a semi-trustless decentralized protocol to manage these IOUs?
Do you mean just IOU - only denominated in Bitcoin but not holding any direct tie to any UTXO as opposed to what the Lightning network does?
I believe decentralization is the key to humanity's flourishing.
The problem is centralization is much more efficient in the short run, and humanity needs capital investment and patience to harvest the fruits of decentralization.
Those who suffer enough from the current centralization to invest in decentralization may be the bringers of change to all of us.

This is wonderful to hear.
How is Bitcoin helping them?
Are there actual use cases benefiting them right now?
Can you identify use cases that need to be created and will benefit them?
I, for one, am not overthinking but entirely not understanding what this graph means.
Can you explain?
Boom. I got that one too.
