Load the mcp in an ai then whenever you need to remember a nip or ask about a kind it had your back :)
I can see that use case. I was thinking the normie number would be full of the usual spam, but this is more “normies you like who you’ve yet to privacy pill” 🤣
Calls wise you can often just straight forward from the phone. I’m not sure texts are as easy but perhaps you could load a number into a phone emulator then have everything delivered via Nostr :)
Or if they’re on what’s app you could run a bot on WhatsAppJS on the normie number and use that to forward to simplex :)
I’m with brisket on this one. I had a normie number that everyone had for about ten years then I retired that to a drawer and got a new number and barely told anyone.
Great move :)

Pork day
1 new word every 24hrs
That’s it then you share results and find other people to low stress compete with :)
It’s got 2 word lists 1 is the last 2500 words from NYT and the other is about 17,000 words that are all 5 letters.
We could generate the word from the longer list for hard mode but when I tried that those words made no sense!
Some people are discovering the joys of nostr wordle 👀👇
I think some of these games are fun but I don’t like the adds, I do like my current social network, I have no interest in more niche accounts and I don’t want to feed the NYT.
It’s basically a simple app with some nostr integration.
It’s a nice touch that you could run the whole thing locally or via nsite and still be playing the same word as others as there is no backend - if we really had to make it censorship resistant but I don’t think that’s really required yet :)

I helped my boy build this game with his @`Wingman: Yolo Mode` over breakfast for his Greek mythology presentation. He even won homself as Zeus fridge magnet ( @`EVAN KALOUDIS` would be proud )
Kids are awesome - games are a great way to FAFO with with AI and coding. Give it a bash!

I'm excited to introduce Nostr Social Duck, or just NSD, a library I've been crafting over the last two weekends that brings sophisticated social graph analysis, even to hardware that doesn't have the luxury of abundant memory. This library leverages DuckDB to perform graph operations over Nostr social graphs built from Contact List events (kind 3), and it's designed to run on all sorts of hardware, from low-end devices to powerful servers.
The inspiration came from limitations I encountered with nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk excellent nostr-social-graph library. While powerful, loading entire social graphs into memory becomes challenging, specially on resource constrained devices like older computers, mobile devices, Raspberry Pis, and similar environments. Once the graph grows, memory constraints can cause performance issues or outright failures.
The recent launch of Relatr and its inclusion in the Umbrel community store (thanks to nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr ) got us thinking: how could we enable anyone to run this without being constrained by their hardware? Since disk storage is cheaper than memory, how we can balance the tradeoffs 🤔... That's when DuckDB emerged as the perfect solution
DuckDB is quite a cool piece of software that's been around for some time with an amazing team committed to open source. It's an embedded, in-process database designed to run on all sorts of hardware. What makes DuckDB particularly compelling for our use case are its advanced memory management capabilities. When complex queries require more memory than available, DuckDB automatically spills to disk, ensuring queries complete even if there is not enough memory, rather than crash. No memory, no problem.
This feature alone makes DuckDB a strong choice, but there's more. Its advanced analytic SQL capabilities make graph analysis operations possible and performant. NSD already provides methods to get the shortest distance between pubkeys, along with a complementary method to find the shortest path that returns both the path and distance. You can define a root pubkey which creates a temporary table with all distances precomputed, making subsequent queries much faster.
The library also includes methods for social graph analysis, like, get the degree of a pubkey, how many inbound and outbound connections it has, which helps determine the weight of a pubkey in the graph. There are convenient methods to check if one pubkey follows another or if two pubkeys are mutual follows. As well thanks to DuckDB in the future we could use parquet files to distribute social graph data. You can find all the details in the repo.
We're currently refactoring Relatr to use NSD, and the results are impressive. By replacing the previous combination of nostr-social-graph library and SQLite database with DuckDB and NSD, we've eliminated the inefficiencies of having separate data sources. Complex queries like profile search now benefit from analytical SQL directly in the search algorithm, reducing data transfer between the program and database and returning more relevant results efficiently.
I did some naive benchmarking to understand how it performs compared to the nostr-social-graph library, and it behaves pretty well. Both libraries are pretty close in performance when there's a root pubkey set in NSD.
This effort aligns with the ongoing #WoTathon organized by nostr:npub1healthsx3swcgtknff7zwpg8aj2q7h49zecul5rz490f6z2zp59qnfvp8p , as we believe NSD provides fundamental primitives for performing graph operations on everyone's hardware without sacrificing simplicity of use and deployment.
The library is available now and can be integrated into any js project:
```bash
bun add nostr-social-duck
# or
npm install nostr-social-duck
```
As we finalize the Relatr refactor, we'll share detailed insights about the improvements and performance gains. The combination of Nostr's decentralized social protocol with DuckDB's efficient analytics creates a powerful foundation for the next generation of social applications.

It’s probably worth expanding…
The thought here is a that mints are basically just structured apis for the wallet to talk to.
They rely on dns because APIs generally do and that’s how we talk to remote things. (Pre relays)
Context vm gives you out of the box self describing api like behaviours via mcp protocol that are pubkey addressable, don’t need any dns and can be reached behind firewalls. You can run it on a pi in your cupboard and you dont have to touch your router.
Given its mcp it’s increasingly accessible by thousands of ai tools and clients.
Or you can write client and talk to it in about 90 seconds with ctxcn and you get all this for free because piggybacks on mcp and just uses nostr for the transport layer.
Plus your mint traffic will be indistinguishable from any other context vm call on the network and your traffic can be via ephemeral keys.
