Relay app on cell phone that works via Bluetooth and finds any/all other app connections within 50 meters. Mesh Networks. Stores notes and other stuff until a connection to the Internet is found, then clears cache after posting to a full node server.
Would it be possible to build a modular system where we could plug and play Micro and Mini into Clients or Super-Apps to build everything we might want into a single system?
Trust nothing, verify everything. Show me the Proof of Work!
Can whoever owned that profile prior to the takeover sue him for $1Billion or something?
People like that would join Nostr, search for something they don't want to see, and then declare that the entire protocol is bad because they found what they were searching for.
The only thing that solves this is the network effect. If we expect joining Nostr and posting will magically provide a living wage revenue stream, we're fooling ourselves.
F22's flying low over Seattle. Don't see that every day.
The government takes almost HALF of what you earn through various taxes.
The government DEVALUES the money you manage to save by printing more out of thin air (inflation).
AND THEY STILL SOMEHOW DONT HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FUCKING CITIZENS.
THIS IS FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING PISSED OFF.

Incompetence, Intention or Both?
I'd say both.
Yet another reason to stop using it.

Bitcoin won't care who wins. Just buy, hold and wait.
Paranoid, maybe. Mostly just cynical.
Why would anybody care. If you need or even want government protection then why are you using Nostr?
Maybe nobody would care. or maybe some idiot ceo with money to burn could start going after developers. If we don't care what the courts say or do, we're in a much worse place than I thought.
There’s tons of drama going on over in WordPress land. Private equity Silverlake has bought up and is running WP Engine. They’re apparently not contributing back to the WordPress Foundation as much as the foundation people think is fair. That much seems fine, but Mullenweg also seems to be wanting to completely destroy WP Engine to the point where his company Automatic can buy them up for pennies on the dollar. Getting companies to contribute to the open source the use seems good, but weaponizing trademark to try and destroy another company in the ecosystem seems really questionable.
It’s interesting to think about because we don’t have a Nostr foundation or trademark. How would we handle if private equity came in to the Nostr ecosystem and didn’t contribute? We don’t have clear expectations of the role of companies in the Nostr space, nor do we have a central company or foundation the way Word Press does.
I think it’s worth thinking about the best way to set up Nostr to handle this going forward. Many people here know the saga around Craig Wright and the struggle to define who and what bitcoin is… That feels somewhat similar as well.
What do people think is the best way to handle this?

Can someone file the trademarks under a Creative Commons license, or has that already been done? I don't know copyright law, but if some corporation files for a trademark on NOSTR, they can claim it. That would be a nightmare.
I wonder if this is something that nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq could help coordinate, giving us specific points on their maps for people with wallets that are trying to recover.
