We could create a ”whitelist filter” that is downloaded from trusted peers. If 75% of your trusted peers have blocked notes/users, then this content could, on your client, get the lowest priority or even be put in a ”spam tab/view”. This way we get a ”crowd sourced span filter”. No centralized algo…. little to no spam. This is what #peercuration is all about!

i solved this issue (even before nostr existed) when i wrote #treebit In treebit (also a twitter-like clone) peers connects to peers and all communication is encrypted. no central servers at all. basically exactly the same as bitcoin in that way, but no global state. the price to pay (aka no free lunch) is that data propagation is slower (needless to say ”bridge nodes” would solve this, because those would be similar to nostr relays).

their centralized server can be shut down with the stroke of a pen. even open sourcing signal server wont do much good either, because its not built to be decentralized. there are alternatives: https://simplex.chat

Signal is not fully open source and thus impossible to decentralize. Hence there is a single entity to attack. Why not use keet instead.

Its the next step in #nostr It will enable crowd-sourced filtering of content, creating a local (to the user) window of the most valued content. @nprofile…t9rd is making it happening!

- reply

sounds excellent! in my prototype (treebit) I made the decision to also use WoT score to render threads in a novel new way. the way it’s normally done is to render the root and then the replies below the root. i made a slight change to this, so that the rooT was rendered first, then the highest scored replyA to the rooT and then the highest scored reply to that replyA (instead of next replyB to rooT). thus when scrolling vertically through the notes tree, the path taken through the tree would be the one where the highest WoT scored path. this way really high value notes deep down would still get a lot of attention and thus get a wider spread in the network.

2025-04-21 05:30:31 UTC

- reply

i think it’s possible to combine WoT with (normalized) zaps, to prioritize (thus filter) data: https://github.com/baumbit/peercuration?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-integrate-zap-into-peercuration

bitcoin is the same: users have an incentive to run their own node and connect to a limited set of peers. its not the same as bitcoin in that: there is no global state. hence nostr network can scale infinitely but un-popular data wont spread that much, which is a feature and not a bug. #peercuration #opengroups

it somewhat depends on the denominator in the debt contract, but i indeed i do view most of the debt we have know as a hidden tax. everytime someone borrows money into existence, it adds to the currency in circulation which is inflationary. the only way this is not inflationary to consumers, is if the product/services produced make the economy more efficient and new debt is used to pay of the old debt. however; increasing efficiency together with increasing debt is an unstable system, because its not evenly distributed, on the contrary its a centralizing process. in the end we get some sort of reset.

producers are financed by debt, which is a tax on consumers, who are financing their consumption using debt… rolled over to future generations…. its an entangled web of complexity. truth is probably that human slave labour, people to poor for anyone to lend to them, are the real producers… and absolutely no-one seems to care about them. like kids in swet shops and similar. horrible.

@nprofile…znpv Europe could begin printing “USD” by creating a law that says that all EURDOLLAR debt issued by banks in Europe, can be settled with EUSD issued by a newly created entity owned by ECB - or even with EUR.

not really, because on Nostr notes are structured around users and not topics. it could be fixed, but then we also need some sort of moderation system to mitigate the attacks we know will emerge. fortunately i designed just such a system years ago. #opengroups + #peercuration

- reply

if GME decides to go ballz deep, throws caution to the wind and buy bitcoin for all of its cash - along with hiring a staff of financial engineers, i would probably sell microstrategy to buy GME. however if they don’t, microstrategy still stand out as the “smart leveraged” trade while GME would look like that really don’t know what they are doing, being insecure and not buying enough to make it matter. do you think GME “gets it” or will they play it “safe”(/weak)

2025-03-27 05:16:31 UTC

- reply

if GME is valued on its bitcoin holdings (should they buy at this very moment for the money they borrowed) they would be even more overvalued then microstrategy, while relying on Saylor giving them free information. is this the bullish story?

2025-03-27 04:52:21 UTC

- reply

Do you think GME has the brain power and/or financial skillz, to do the same kind of financial innovation work as Saylor (and his team) got? Less/more skill in this are? (they could always buy the skill, but do you know if they have done that?)

2025-03-26 12:38:48 UTC

a next level AI neural network break-through will be “loop nets” where randomly distributed nodes in the neural network will connect back to previous nodes, creating “loops”. haters will argue that the nets might get hung-up in endless-loops, while galaxy brains realize that subnets with generalized problem solveabity will emerge. why is it u never heard about it before? because i invented it a few month’s ago, but never told anyone.

2025-03-26 12:33:27 UTC

- reply

i was in agreement with your opinion (and should have expressed it more clearly. my bad!). i think the algo should be distributed/decentralized; ie spread out… and i think different users should get different content, because their subjective perceived value is different… ie the algo itself (not only the output) should be different for different people. this is exactly what #peercuration does, because its more similar to a curation protocol , then a filtering algo. hence its a “side-chain to the nostr chain” or a subnet in parallel to the mainnet.

nostr can be used to create a new type of community (based on #opengroups) which is based on relationships between people, (instead of algos between people).

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

2025-03-01 17:45:38 UTC

- reply

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. :)

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!

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.
