What is new: cleaner UI and smoother navigation
What is unchanged: Bitcoin grassroots projects taking over the world

Hey Tiero, always open to learn more about Arkade and what can be built on it!
We're just starting this journey into the world of Bitcoin applications embracing a multi-layer Bitcoin backend, using each layer for what it's best at.

The zap receipt publishing might have an issue. Thanks for letting us know @nprofile…cflr ! I’ll have a look.

Bitcoin is global money, enabling financial collaboration between regions where it was either impossible or very costly before.
At @nprofile…f2t4 we have first-hand insight into these flows when it comes to crowdfunding. Let's check some stats:
50% of the funding that takes place on the platform is cross-regional.
56% of funding was received by projects launched in countries not served by traditional crowdfunding platforms.
Over 90% of the funding received by projects on the African continent was sent from other regions.
The best part? All of these transactions were received instantly, and at very low fees thanks to Bitcoin and the Lightning network.
Crowdfunding is a very powerful financial tool for change and impact. In 2022, we launched with a thesis that this tool needs to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their access to banking.
Impactful ideas can be born anywhere in the world, and connect with anyone around the globe.
Today that thesis has been validated, and we believe it's just getting started.
Money that flows freely and globally creates collaboration on a scale never possible before, between sovereign individuals, in peer-to-peer and grassroots fashion.
It does not make the headlines like governments and public companies adopting Bitcoin, but there is a silent revolution taking place in financial inclusion, and it is powered by Bitcoin. https://blossom.primal.net/ee6920ddbb7eea2b6257bfa698c4b130916cf599323003e455b2662835820b07.png

Reward based on thread depth. Conversation starters get higher payouts. If people engage with your reply, you get higher payouts.
Inversely, if you write a spammy response and no one engages you get nothing.
Also apply a simple trust score filter based on Trust Rank (to get started).
I'm building this, curious to see how it'll do.

Working on a similar idea but trying to reward for valuable engagement.

Another way to see it is that we need randomness.
We are guided by the information we process, and the only limiting factor in someone’s ability to control our thoughts is the interjection of randomness. Privacy means increasing entropy, and thus increasing randomness.
The issue is that humans are really bad randomness generators. If our minds are isolated from sources of randomness, they become pretty deterministic. Mentalists temporarily reduce your experienced randomness and manage to get pretty close to deterministic behaviour.
Luckily we more or less constantly source randomness from our environment. This is only true in so far as a process is random both to an individual and to the actor trying to control it.
Now extrapolate that to virtual realities. True randomness is nullified, every variable can be controlled and thus every thought can be made deterministic.
We should advocate for the injection of true randomness into any virtual reality we create to avoid giving anyone deterministic control over those that experience the virtual reality.

Thanks for sharing Joe.
Sadly, assistance and services for disabled children, and adults, are under-funded and under-staffed even in developed countries.
This is an issue that is close to my heart and that I am very familiar with. My little brother has been part of many such schools and institutions for heavy mental disability.
These institutions can be private or public, and both have their own challenges.
In Belgium, the public ones rely on government funding and, while it is generally considered a safer source of funding, they must follow strict criteria on the type of disabilities that can be accepted to join their establishment. As a result, certain types of disabilities have very few institutions, and for the few that exists, there is not enough funding, and thus not enough staff.
Some remain private to be able to accept a broader spectrum of disabilities. Those are constantly looking for funding, and as a result can be very expensive to join.
In France, there are so few schools and institutions that some parents travel all the way to Belgium to be sure their children can have the assistance that they need. They only see their children once a week, or less, because of the distance.
If this is true in Europe, you can only imagine what choices people are faced with in countries with much less means.
Despite it all, you will find the most kind hearted and dedicated staff in those places. People that work there are doing it from a place of love and compassion.
It's true that Bitcoin doesn't fix this, human compassion and care does. But my hope, and life work, is that a prosperous world and society can find the generosity to support those that will never be able to contribute back in equal amounts.

Would like to model this but need some help with getting the data...
#note1h5e…6jm0

2024-09-13 23:14:40 UTC

According to a paper published in 2015, WeChat user growth over time followed a Power Law with an exponent of 2.15
It showed that its growth is more closely followed by a Power Law than an exponential. I thought i'd be cool to see if Nostr's growth can be modelled as a Power Law too.
Taking the 6 month data on daily active users from @npub1sx9…6g8m and fitting a power law on it, we get an exponent of 2.415 and an R2 of 0.569
For the model I assumed the first day being December 15th 2020, around the time of the first Nostr note, and removed outliers.
The R2 is not very high, but the fit is visually promising. Still, it's too little data to really see if it's a good fit.
To do a proper fit, it'd be ideal to get the historical data for Nostr's entire history, assuming the same TrustRank applied by @npub1sx9…6g8m
If anyone has older data (even partial) using the same TrustRank, shoot me a DM!

Some late night thoughts...
There's an argument to be made that Bitcoin, or money, would not be needed once singularity is reached. So what is the point of Bitcoin?
Ray Kurzweil believes the best way to protect society from the risks of AGI, is to build a society that reflects the values we want the AGI to have.
A society which promotes poor values would create an AGI with equally poor values.
What if Bitcoin's real end game, was not just to restore a sound money society? What if Bitcoin's end game was to pave the way for a non-biological intelligence that aligns its interests with ours?
Where we're going money won't be needed, but where we're going depends on it.
