hawala is the l1, merchants are the l2

or

is hawala the l1, and payments the dapp?

i like the former because it captures the trust and security assumptions accurately

blocks get appended in the direction of increasing entropy

block number goes up, entropy goes up

seize the means of information discovery!

a little late to the party but I’m loving this book so far

where can I read more about the #DVM?

we need neutral, uncensorable, decentralised, opt in information discovery mechanisms

and we need em fast

nicely put! can you help me close this gap in my thinking -

web2 discovery mechanisms served content which held the users attention the longest. long app usage times = more ad revenue.

in nostr, positive and happy posts get the most zaps - i hear you

so does it mean that we were following the chasing the wrong metrics all along?

i suppose crypto’s ability to incentivise sustainable hyper local growth means we no longer need to scale to a billion users for every app?

hyper local sustainable economies is the way?

what do you think nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ? nostr:note1vk0xjkkn24al7h20x0zpjwr3kh65cj287x5v3qmmgpf80zcp53lqn4e9na

we need credibly neutral tools that can verifiably translate between code and simple language.

do we expect users to simply believe that you can trust ‘xyz’ because there are honest nodes in the underlying network?

in a world of sovereign individuals everyone can’t be expected to understand the code (algorithm) of the platform they’re using. an ai model/frontend is expected to translate that information in simple language - but how can the user trust the translation? through an attestation? how can the attestation on a frontend be trusted?
