Their Trust and Safety team is hiring no doubt but who's paying for all of this? New boss...
BlueSky runs on woke fantasy and VC funding. Nostr runs on passion and self-funding. Nostr and truth win when we know the costs and dutifully pay them.
That's a good thing because it helps us get to the truth of the matter. We should not gaslight ourselves thinking we have a reliable system when it requires not only passion but charity. v4v is an aesthetic but reality operates on mass (users) and energy (money).
There's an important distinction to be made between ETFs and other kinds of custody. The ETFs can be traded inside retirement account and not trigger capital gains. This gives the same feel as back when we fantasized that the government wouldn't want their cut of gains.
The nostr equivalent would be fast free service with lots of engagement. Nostr is bulletproof social media just like self-custody is true wealth sovereignty.
Btw I agree a VC funded custodial nostr is the only way to give the ux normies expect.
Why not go the nostr.wine route and require payment? You'll be helping the market with price discovery and enable your operation to scale. It's an essential step for Nostr to mature. If I were you I'd start at what seems high since there's little competition. Say 33k ($30) a month.
Nostr is a cozy place and we sign everything cryptographically.
I know it's not cool to post content from twitter here... it is what it is. Regardless, the following post from nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs today was awesome. Spoken like a man with FU money... great stuff!
What news from yonder network? I love when stuff travels from one network to another.
I fucking love how nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is putting nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy to the test here right in the beginning by what he means with "multivariables" and "supercycle". Even among these two close friends, they still uphold the spirit of "don't trust, verify" and question each other.
That is what makes it so authentic and one of my favorite podcasts.
This was a banger of an episode.

Marty goes Multivariate from hanging with the Boomerpoops. 😂
And it's not that the algorithm choice has to be in your face but within a few taps is great. New users appreciate fast and interesting defaults.
Been enjoying coinos.io but again these are for small zapping-level amounts. Stay safe people.
Test note.
For actual news I've turned to my collection of independent reporters on substance, patreon and YouTube. It's a constant challenge to seek out diverse yet not unhinged perspectives.
Nostr is verifiable data.
Sign code into Nostr events, and you get Verifiable Code.
But here’s the problem: you still have to trust the environment running that Verifiable Code. If you rely on a third-party machine, how can you guarantee it’s executing your code as intended and not something entirely different?
Enter Verifiable Computations. Runners take verifiable data + verifiable code, execute them, and return the results + a cryptographic proof that nothing was changed.
Now, recipients can verify if the script ran exactly as intended, making runners trustless partners.
Welcome to verifiable, trustless DVMs on Nostr.

I like the idea of data, code and money with which to execute said code. I imagine a population of processors mining a data stream for embedded ecash bounties. Currently humans hold the purse strings but what if the data has money in it?
Don't forget the top shelf comedy.
Call your parents. Tell them that you love them. Do it now.

So sorry for this loss. May he rest in peace. Your post shows that you are better equipped than most to deal with this. DFW and Camus also fascinate me and add to the richness of living each day in as much peace and joy as possible.
GM. After taking a tour of the various social networks I gotta say what I appreciate about Nostr most is that people here are fiercely independent and allergic to having their experience shaped by anyone who is not them. That makes this the place for raw reverse chron and truly organic unstoppable virality. No amount of VC funding can replicate that.
Interesting. So your client will then have to ask relays about every note you view or do you see it as a specific kind of reply?
