GM nostr is just websites

I’m working on Brainstorm now so that the owner of the instance can set it up to calculate personalized WoT scores for friends. Later, for customers.

Graph databases like #neo4j really do make certain tasks a lot easier than if we were limited to sql or other non-graph dbs. Here’s the neo4j cypher query that I use to update the number of hops away any given pubkey is from a customer node on the follows graph. I just iterate this same query 8 or 9 times until numUpdates is zero and it’s done.

MATCH (c1:NostrUserWotMetricsCard {observer_pubkey:’${CUSTOMER_PUBKEY}'})-[:SPECIFIC_INSTANCE]-(:SetOfNostrUserWotMetricsCards)-[:WOT_METRICS_CARDS]-(u1:NostrUser)-[:FOLLOWS]->(u2:NostrUser)-[:WOT_METRICS_CARDS]->(:SetOfNostrUserWotMetricsCards)-[:SPECIFIC_INSTANCE]->(c2:NostrUserWotMetricsCard {observer_pubkey:'${CUSTOMER_PUBKEY}'})

WHERE c2.hops - c1.hops > 1 SET c2.hops = c1.hops + 1

RETURN count(c2) as numUpdates

Break YouTube and something will replace it. How does one break YouTube?

Hyperbitcoinization will make long-time hodlers the world’s juiciest targets. Vora is the first self-custody platform that secures people, not just keys. A wrench attack yields zero sats and instant exposure, so criminals pick easier prey. Vora turns Bitcoin from the hardest money into the hardest asset on earth to steal.

stay humble and stack them

It's so incredibly hard to hear someone go off about "how expensive everything is" and how "we dont get paid enough" and "how low wages are"...

Then explain to them that inflation literally causes all of this, and that the reason it feels like running on a treadmill is because **by default you get poorer if you dont get at least a 7% raise every year.**

And then they say "but nobody would buy anything if money got more valuable, it would ruin the economy."

Mothafukr you are LITERALLY linking the chains that you complain about weighing you down.

4 in 5 Americans want some US gold reserves converted to bitcoin.

focus on payments, ignore the noise

Mine too, but I have a vague idea of some things. I really wonder about a couple things though.

If the hash of a discreet log contract could be used as the random oracle for said contract, and there were a marketplace for participation in various contracts, then perhaps a decentralized casino could exist?! 🤷

I feel like lightning would explode if this were the case.

Way above my pay grade

That was kind of the question. Presumably, naively, one could pull random numbers from random sources in a network, or maybe even this/these operations could produce randomness, whereby the production of randomness (numbers and/or sources) could be verified, and used to satisfy some conditions.

Crude example for a roll of dice:

Put in some redeeming script (if that in itself is a thing) if this random hash that I got from a random source, all of which I imagine is verifiable, ends in ... then the next roll of the dice is ..., and if that dice roll is ..., then pay ..., else pay ...

How would that work?

So far, I developed 3 projects using vide-coding. A bitcoin payments app, a p2p ad marketplace and a bitcoin treasury company index (TOP-20). They all work, and I’ve learned a ton!

Unfortunately, I don’t feel like running them as businesses. Not because I’m lazy, but because I don’t want to run something I’m not entirely in love with. I’ve had multiple experiences staring something I wasn’t entirely fond of only to create headaches for myself.

I’ll keep vibe-coding projects, dozens if needed, until I stumble upon “my thing”. The ever-improving AI superpower gives me the tools a person like me needs (an unlimited stream of ideas that need to be built right now!).

it kind of interesting that the protocol *forces* you to be more decentralized once you start following too many people. you literally *can't* get data from thousands of people from a single place, due to websocket packet sizes and relay limits.

we reject gatekeepers.

we defy borders, hierarchies, and middlemen.

code is our passport. access is our right.

permissionless technologies defend freedoms.

they scale trust without institutions.

they enable action without approval.

no one asks to speak.

no one begs to build.

no one waits to change.

we build systems that can't be shut down.

we create tools that serve all, not the few.

we write code that liberates, not controls.

this is not just infrastructure.

it’s a revolution—

silent, sovereign, unstoppable.

we don’t ask.

we deploy.
