Nostr version of 4chan where its all anonymous and you pay sats to post

I'm starting to think we don't have a libertarian utopia BC enough/lots of people are greedy and lazy enough to band together to rob the productive

Facebook market, eBay, dispute resolution organization/protocol, DNM

The swan mining announcement was hilarious

Basically "do you have tons of money and no skills? Partner with us!"

I made a few audiobooks of the common bitcoin reading list using ai tts. Takes like 9 hours per book on a 3090. Would be cool to share them somewhere

LLM curating content for specific tastes?

It feels like nostr is enabling a decentralized protocol renaissance. nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 added this torrent NIP recently: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1175 what if we utilize bittorrent for discovering and sharing files via nostr? This is not a new idea but the network affects could have huge benefits on seeding:

Imagine someone reposts a torrent and says “please help me seed this”. Then clients could integrate bittorrent and start helping out right away. Then you could zap people who helped seed.

nostr can fix many decentralized protocol incentives problem just from its network effects and embrace of open protocols.

Could downloaders zap seeders?

Memorize words, buy nothing, profit

Nostr based dispute resolution/arbitration?

Disputes gonna need solving and you don't want a bunch of NPCs with no overlapping worldview with your own having a say over your conflict.

Building on nostr can select for people in the cypherpunk space with certain attitudes/perspectives

Can even be pseudon

gm nostr

This was my first encounter with O(n^2) back in high school

There's a perfect form of money destined to exist and all these are just tests to get us there

My uncle made a joke about me getting back to work and paying his social security

Like in our circles its "ha ha ponzi scheme" but he was blue pilled about it

To just casually reference stealing from the young to give to the old

Feels weird
