What about upgrading the best open-source one you can find on github

2026-02-19 11:31:12 UTC

- reply

It will never be 0 fees, but it should be as low as someone's perception of risk/reward. Or maybe other factors, I can think of "I lend you with 0 interest but you market my name" or something like, I lend you money with no fee if those money improve the area where I live, or if you give me back services or other things that can be more valuable then some more money.

A low cost interaction can have incredible value, that is correct.
Most notes are not zap worthy, that is also correct.
But it is also true that an interaction can have different weights in different conditions (or different markets). A word by Trump has bigger value then a mine, a note its the same. He can reach more eyeballs than me thanks to reputation and/or following. Are his words more useful than mine? Maybe, but what if they are not? He still have the power to continue to say unuseful things, I have not.
So how can I get more power? I change method or technology, I find another way to increase the reach of my words by channeling energy in a different way. That's way a premium in the costs of the interactions is a way to change the market where I'm playing at.
With a premium, I would be able to speak in the table of the "adults" even If I have no reputation or friends in that table. That is a very powerful thing.
Advertisers are "wasting" money every day to try to get my attention, the more they spend, the more probable is they get it. If they spend it wisely, and I buy their product, that's a win/win. It is the same concept.
I would like to have someone spend sats in order to comment my notes, in this way, they have something to lose, and if they do it, it means they really think their comment is worth the sats.

Absolutely a feature, interactions have to have some weight in order to express quality. Broadcasting data should cost as much as the energy and tools required for the relays to work, so I would add a cost to every interaction that leaves a footprint on nostr.
I would also add a premium to filter "low cost" interactions.
For examples, If I post something I can decide whether to see or not to see comments posted under a 5 sats commission in order to bypass bot or other low signal comments.
I would also have the possibility to broadcast to specific relays with higher costs if they assure high quality content and specific content.
I would also have the possibility to boost post in order to make them more visible, or to avoid relays to delete them if they need to clean space for new or different things.

I'm wrapping my head too around that idea and every time I came back to think that we are pretty much the same as humans, so wealth difference can't be that big between us.
I think the middle class is just the class where everybody should be in, I can give 2x, 3x, maybe 5x the value somebody else is giving, you can get 100k and I can maybe get 500k, if I am good and lucky enough but more means there is something broken in the system.
Everybody today is dreaming for the stars but the reality is that things to work need to be done step by step, no free lunch, staying humble.
If I'm really 10x better than someone else today, it is not going to last, if I found a shortcut, somebody else will find it tomorrow, if I know something others do not now, that information will be leaked or discovered sooner or later. I'm not going to be more successful and valuable than other people everyday of my life without giving 100% to it.
Capital is key, I'm going to help my kids in every way possible but they need to be teached also every possible lesson. I just want people to understand that we need to first "give" and than we should "get", nothing is gifted, there are no right, only concessions.

Yes, I understand. I just think that the second speed is unachievable for 99.99% of people and so, set is as a goal is not going to give you the results you think. As you said, "I believe that I have responsibilities to the next generations", your biggest responsibility is to teach values to them and it takes time, and that time is better spent on teaching than gaining wealth.
We already know how people that are born with everything behave. And if it is not the next generation, it will be the one after.

2025-08-27 11:42:47 UTC

- reply

Everybody will take the second speed but is it possible? That's something that is bothering me, how many can achieve it? How can you create enough wealth in a fair world, where meritocracy is the base layer and rent seeking is no more possible?
So yes, I would take the second speed but I do not want it if it means stealing other peoples work for my own greed.

Sure but NGU is true also with weights, its easier to be motivated when you see that you are getting stronger and "number go up" on weights is one of the most effective way for most people.
Only later you'll understand that weights is not the ultimate form of movement and "healty"

Anybody who agrees with Saylor perspective on interest rates?
I think too, as Saifedeen, that interest rates should tend to 0, because of free market. There will be many people who'll be willing to lend money, and you'll get as low as the people who lend will get. More people, more information, more competition, lower interest rates.
What do you think?

Changing depends in what your hope is, too be a free and happy individual or to help build your community.
It will always look like the grass is greener where you are not, reality is both (1) the grass is greener where you water it and (2) you still have not to be in the middle of the desert.
If a place is good enough, no need to stress, do the best you can, until you can.
In the end I think that if you are following the principles above, and still feel like you are not ok where you are, find something else, there is time to comeback.

Never thought at it like that. If just one friend of mine would suggest a film I would watch it even if the score in some site is low, because I trust his suggestion more then the ones made by others I do not know.
The system you suggest is like the one on Instagram at the moment. So we know it could work.
But here we are daily looking at profiles that maybe nobody follows, so you still need something for them too. Maybe you'll get different algos give different scores.

The meme "there is no second best" is not some fancy bullshit to degrade other projects, it just to know that there is no necessity to have other units of measure for time/energy, it is really just noise to have many things that have the same purpose.
So it is important to take the one that at the base is the most reliable, an then build on top.

So you never really retire, you are just getting some time off for the family, but two parents are not needed to be constantly in the life of a child, so you can really continue to "work" (as per doing something for the society) but giving priority to the family.
I get what you say, I just don't like the idea that people get with the work your ass of and then live as a rent-seeker.

I still think priority message with attached sats amount for visibility, both per DMs, comments or feedbacks would be the best way to give more signal to the information shared. If I could be sure that with certain amout of satoshis, my request would be seen and responded in a certain amount of time, I would personally gave away way more suggestions to developers and others.
When the crowd gets bigger, and I do not take much in a digital world, there have to be a fast way to get louder to be seen and heard.

Yes I do not know either I just look it the Mods work and we can see that many people ask nothing in return to the things they do because it is out of passion or necessity. I would too give my help to improve the software I work or play with often, it is in my full interest.
Regarding the quality coders, I agree, but we already know it will take less and less ability to do such things with AI, and more creativity that is much more easy to share.

Books, games, music, are just mere information. Once it is created, everybody can have access to it and the "right" to own it is just a moral (but useful) case.
It is all about truth and its importance in valueing information. As you say "we pay with our wallets" but in reality when we pay we are not giving value for something already in existance but for something that could be created.
Take the example with music, you pay the artist to listen to music that have already been created, but in reality you are giving to him money to value his future works.
With books is the same, you pay money to value past works, hoping you can support him to create other works.
Games' case could be the same but in reality, games nowadays are always works in progress full of patches and DLCs. I think that the ultimate games are the ones that as per bitcoin-core example, will evolve via open-source merging of owned-by-everybody code.

Open-source game development. We do not need companies to produce quality games no more. Sorry not sorry, the best and more fun games I have played are the ones that can be owned and so modded.

"This feeling of hopelessness derives from the misconception that you are helpless. Nothing could be further from the truth. You are certainly helpless if you believe that the solutions to the chaos you witness from the particular lens you are looking through will come from a government or the goodwill of society. No one is coming to save you. However, you can save yourself. In fact, the only way to turn the deep feelings of helplessness into positive action is to believe that you yourself can effectuate change in your own life. The tools to make your world a better place are at your fingertips. All you have to do is use them. And if a critical mass of people make the conscious decision to take advantage of the tools at their fingertips, they can make the world a better place."

You are getting information from articles and videos of more then 2 years ago, take from an interview made in a anything-crypto channel where the audience is not looking for a bitcoin-maxi. Saylor is also famous for his anti-bitcoin tweet in the past, completely changing its position in 2020. He become way more maxi during 2022 and 2023.
Monero is a good technology but it does fall in the hard cap fallacy, making it inflationary as any current currency.
Bitcoin in its layer 1 is and will never focus in a privacy way because as Saylor said, the value is in the open and fully trasparent ledger. Differencies can be made when you look into the layers 2 (as Lightning Network), here possibilities are bigger because their protocol are shaped to integrate more programmable functions, like Monero's ones.
Just listen to his newer interviews. I don't ever recall him to talk about any other "crypto" because with a second and third layer everything can be done just with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin in layer 1 will never be a currency because its main focus will always be decentralization and security. The Trilemma is clear, and the layer 1 sacrifice the scalability part, making it possible in others layers.

Friction is the perfect word here.
I think too that everything that can be done or shared should be "payed" at least for the amount that is needed for the transaction to be made or to be stored.
The problem is that transaction and storing cost are almost 0 so even if you made the procedure hard, as soon as you decrypt it, then sharing is really easy.
You need the Relays to have to ask for cost of rebroadcasting, but as soon as a price is put, it will create a market, and in a market the cost will always fall into the maintenance price, that will also fall when the technology advance.

Had to translate but:
If you think deeply enough "copyright" it's just a tool to enrich someone that had the luck or power to seem the author of something
How many cases we can find where the real author was not the one with the copyrights? How can you be sure that, that person was the first one to create that things?
Its very deep and hard to draw a line about it, it seems morally correct to give a prize to author but the reality I think is different. It is better to incentivize people to find information and not to pay them when it is found.

If you take out coercion and theft, value 4 value it's what moves the world.
The only thing I would add is that, we cannot pretend to get something when we give out information. When information are shared it's already too late to get something back for it. The only thing you can look into are donations from people that value your work and want more from you.
If you think, when you are paying for a subscription plan you are paying to support the future work of an artist, you are not paying for the work he already have done. Morally and phisically it does not make sense to pay to get informations that have already been created and shared. But it does make sense to give money (time and energy) to someone that can give you back value in a way you cannot give it to yourself.

Absolutely true. I just hope people will build following their heart and communities feedback in order to work in things that bring value to themself and others.
Everybody have hobbies which goal is to bring joy to themself doing something you like but you are maybe not so good at and then work which in opposite, its main goal is giving value to others doing something you probably don't like as much but you are particulary good at.
I'm just a afraid people misunderstood v4v and its proposition because they think that this is a way to live just off their "hobbies".

I think that putting a price is different than putting value. The beautiful thing about thinking in satoshis is that we are giving away something that is more than money but is also value, energy and time.
Regarding your position in tipping posts, I understand that an artist is less interested in other artists products because that's the kind of value you give to yourself so you don't need to get it from someone else.
I like to tip posts I personally like because of the feedback I give back to the person, hoping that it incentivize him to do more of that work.

“If you build it they will come”
I like it but it could be delusional for some people. We cannot pretend that everything we built will ever get attention because of the market we are in.
If they do not come, you could just be in the wrong place or trying to giving away something that do not get attention.
So build something other people value as much as you.

As Quentin I think too that's a cultural problem. And I think that the value 4 value concept is so basic that in a long time frame and with the right tool (bitcoin) it will absolutely win, it's so natural.
With every interaction we give something for something, something we value for something some one else value.
If you take out coercion and theft, value 4 value it's what moves the world.
The only thing I would add is that, we cannot pretend to get something when we give out useful information. When information are shared it's already too late to get something back for it. The only thing you can look into are donations from people that value your work and want more from you.
If you think, when you are paying for a subscription plan you are paying to support the future work of an artist, you are not paying for the work he already have done. Morally and phisically it does not make sense to pay to get informations that have already been created and shared. But it does make sense to give money (time and energy) to someone that can give you back value in a way you cannot give it to yourself.

Without KYC profiles there is the possibility to zap to yourself in another different personal profile. I cannot see a way where this can avoided so badges would proliferate.
Maybe I'm missing something, correct me if there could be a way 😕
