Dont trust, verify. If your peers misbehave, kick them off and pick new ones. If bandwidth (or other resources) is limited, it becomes even more important. In ad-hoc mesh-nets (heavily constrained resources) with decentralized filtering, Nostr would still work.

Your peers on Nostr. Could be npubs you follow, or relays that you follow. If peers shares curated list of notes with other peers, we get a type of crowd-sourced filtering mechanism. We thus get a Spam bots mitigation and we get special interest filtering to.

we could implement a feature where you choose your own algorithm And ask your friends / peers, what the algorithm selected for them. if you have common interest and they have notes you’ve not seen, you would get it. it’s called: #peercuration and we could use it to get rid of the RSS bots

why not simply ask your friends and your friends friends? no chance in hell they will recommend RSS feed bots. this is what #peercuration is all about

happy to hear you grok it! it could be implemented in many different ways… there is #peercuration and then this is this yet another way https://primal.net/e/note1zn7w4khf3cnq7tsvfwympertl5nsayrhxqatc44ursapksquamwsfnwn74

easily fixed: just subscribe to a “curate relay” that scores and tags nost notes and ur client will hide (or at least doen prioritize them)!

true!!! OdellClient have 2 w8t though… top priority on ToDo is impl ”shared relay note scoring” so clients can crowd-source what content to prioritize. goal is basically to impl #peercuration on Nostr https://github.com/baumbit/peercuration

its Nostr. one can pretty easily program a client that formats and renders all text in what-ever way one wants. ALL CAPS, Camel Case, or-what-ever-floats, Your boat.

nostr will be even worse when it gets mainstream adoption, because there is no protection against bots etc., and no; zaps wont help!

Now you might say something like ”you can always point to a relay that filters bot” and to this I will reply: ”Yes, BUT then you get censorship!. You say: ”I can just point to a relay I trust.” Reply: ”Who _can_ you trust?” You: ”My group of selected peers!!!”. Reply: ”OMG! Lets fucking and implement #peercuration” … I mean why not do it NOW?!!!?

I think your AlgoRelay can be used to protect against spam, but allowing the user to configure the algo and share the score with other AlgoRelays. If everyone run their own AlgoRelay and shared the score with one-another, that which everyone agrees on is spam and/or badly tagged, etc., would be naturally and organically filtered out of existence even though there is no centralized censorship/moderation. One could even imagine running _different_ such relays, thus creating differently curated feeds… heck someone who loves spam, could have a special feed for that too. :)

it’s an informational cognition drug. super addicting and once you start you never really quit.

you prefer another answer? please let me know if you want me to agree with 100% of everything u write or only 99.999%

yes. historically slowly. with the advent of technology such as, but not limited to, gene-editing much faster. however something are not expressions of human nature but fundamentally more so logical results. for instance; there is enough suckers to make 1 rich person buy there is locally speaking never enough rich persons to make all poor suckers rich.

Still not waiting for the zap you can not zap me because I told you the truth.

You are unable to zap me.

There is no ”we” here and you don’t speak for me and you are not an official spoke person for Nostr. No one is. And THATs why you can do what ever the fuck you want here and ignore @hodl prescription on how to conduct yourself. Welcome to the anarchic open protocol society.

Before Nostr existed I created a similar protocol: #treebit This protocol was designed to thrive in mesh-networks. To prevent spam I invented #peercuration (crowd sourced filtration and propagation). Together with #opengroups this enables community building without moderators or gate keepers. The nodes you connect to and the bandwidth they use are also taken into consideration. Its a protocol based purely on incentives. You find everything here: https://github.com/baumbit Please ask me questions!

I designed a protocol for sharing notes in a mesh-network that does not rely on relays. Also it comes with built in spam protection and improved decentralized curation strategies. Reply to this note if you want to learn more (and I promise I will overwhelme you with info). :-D

The price discount can also exist because people are not willing to wait for long delivery time, especially if they are worries about tariffs on gold.

this model is curve fitted. the current price is path dependent thus deterministic, in the same way your whole life led you to this point in time and nothing can change that. the future however is BOTH random AND incomputable; thus even IF it wasnt random you wouldnt be able to model it. But you can always model the history and find a curve that fits.
