The nerd sniping for a FOSS-non-corporate-owned Simple Bitcoin Wallet phone app is underway.

This train won't stop.

either you embrace chaos or accept making joining the crowd impossible for anonymous people (like myself)

you can't "trust" an anonymous user

Where’s the fun in that? I like the Gm / Gn protocol 💜

#nostr accounts shouldn't be called accounts as they aren't accounts. What's a better word? #asknostr

Bitcoin is complicated at the protocol level, from the perspective of the vast majority of users. If Satoshi had pitched the idea over coffee in 2008, how many of us would have rejected it off the bat as something no one will ever use bc it’s “too complicated?”

It is a mistake, one that is frequently made, to reject proposals out of hand bc they’re “too complicated” without considering what that means.

Too complicated for users?

Too complicated for developers?

This is true, and why I don't think we will ever have a true digital representation of "trust" The best we hope to build in highly specific contextual "trust" links

For example. I trust this guy as a dev, or I trust this guy on X topic

The issue is I don't think you can just build a generic "trust" rating app and call it a day. because the trust scores need to be updated periodically and you cant ask users to "review" their friends or trust scores. too much friction

This is not true. We all use lots of things everyday that are complicated under the hood.

Complicated at the protocol level != complicated for users.

calling nostr kind 3 follow list a Web of Trust is a misnomer since we don't "trust" them in the traditional sense. Its more like we "trust" them to not post spam, or we trust them to post things we could be interested in

IMO it would be better to call kind:3 follow lists a Web of not Spam. but that doesn't sound as catchy
