I've had an idea for decentralized authority for food production standards, and it seems that Nostr+badges might be a good protocol on which to build it! This would be sort of like L2 on nostr in that it would work on top of it. I imagine a local organization would authorize people to qualify (or disqualify) a source as a clean and reputable producer or distributor of food based on local standards and values (such as different levels of organic produce, specific exclusions, practices, etc.). This would also serve to make finding the food at the quality you want easier and more locally.
The immediate application is food, but the same idea would work for auto repair shops, professional services, construction and maintenance contractors, plumbers/electricians/roofers/handymen, etc, like a more specific version of yelp or Google reviews that is locally controlled.
Could be like "Nostr guilds" or some such name.
Why not just store the hash of the most current state as a way to secure it? For the sake of data permanence, pertinent data could be a merkle tree held by the interested parties, culminating in the stored state on Bitcoin, and the proof of that data, such as address balance or even a large file, could be quite small, like 32kB for a 64-bit SHA-2 hashed tree (could fit in a single ping). The latest merkle top state could be stored on the most secure and globally consensual storage. A way to query network peers for updates to adjacent branches would be necessary, though.
That was close! My umbrel had a hiccup and I had to reflash the SD. All's good now 😑😮💨😌
Now, who the heck decided a Roman numeral 4 is iiii? They got IX for 9 correct!
Like #[2] said, por que no los dos?
It depends on what's going on, I think. From a technical viewpoint, how might the two scenarios be distinct?
Caught a bug in Amethyst: crashed when I tapped the sixth nested quote note. The app reopened without issue.
I'm waiting for the next alts rally to divest myself of them. I'm mostly concerned with their price versus BTC, and I'm not sure when might be best to make the swap.

Sweet! I'm pretty pumped about Nostr right about now.
@chazzman22 Hey, Charles!
This is another test from Amethyst 😀
