2024-08-28 18:01:38

I just browsed through your feed. A few ideas...
1) if you’re new here it can help to chime in with people who are already talking about something you care about and share your own perspectives/opinions on the topic so you’re already gathering with relevant people
2) your avatar/name could be confused for being a bot even though you sound like a human to me, maybe consider adding more human personality (even if pseudonymous) to help people get more comfortable engaging with you
3) some of your posts seem to be reporting on information that looks like it could’ve been pulled in an automated way… I would guess you’ll find your mutuals here if you share your opinions more than reporting on stats/facts
4) there are minimal/no algorithms (yet!) so it’s pretty hard for anyone to find the good stuff anyway, so it definitely takes some work for now — I believe solutions are right around the corner, but not broadly available yet

Facts!
Have you been learning about how it works? very different from the architecture of typical social media platforms.
in fact, there is no platform. It’s just a protocol. A loose way to coordinate how clients get built and how relays respond and so on. nobody controls the users. We all just float around doing what we want. It’s glorious! 😝

2024-08-27 20:28:00

- reply

1) great writer/speaker
2) you’ll find the vibe on nostr is low stress… esp compared to centralized algorithmic controlled engagement baiting media networks :P
3) best thing right now is to just participate in conversations with people you’d like to exchange ideas with. You could also consider writing about your hobbies/passions/interests/views and see who shows up to agree/disagree. in my experience people are pretty cordial here

Yup, that’s the magic of nostr. Your posts (and followers) are spread out across relays and they’re not tied to Primal or Damus or any other app. It’s all interoperable/interchangeable. You control the private keys that let you sign the messages and you send them to relays. Everything else just works with everything else.

Ah, I think I get it better now. So you’re relying on the satoshi names from Ordinals? There’s a bunch to like about that naming system, but I also have concerns with the fact that it’s going to be a long time before we can get short names which presumably would entice a lot of people to participate/promote such a system early-on. The proposal I’ve read that attempts to mitigate this problem reduces the self-sovereignty of ownership.
Do you agree that the sat names from Ordinals have not gotten substantial adoption? Are you assuming that will change soon for some reason?

2024-08-23 17:17:03

- reply

I’ve read a few times, but still not sure if I’ve digested the purpose. Is it mostly to help existing PKI be published/shared somewhere?
the specific problem I’m interested in is around establishing a global namespace e.g. so you could own the handle “nusa” and we could use that to find this nostr-account or a website or whatever else you’d want to point it to. does your protocol touch on a solution to that problem?

Runes does seem like a promising direction at a high level, but I’m not very informed about the implementation details of the project.
Is there any easy way to review all the Runes names that are already issued? If someone built an extension to the indexer software or an API to make it easy to find Runes names (and their mappings?) do you think nostr client developers would be interested in including them like we have with NIP-05 names? Do runes exist as bearer assets like inscribed sats (so they are transferrable)?

I’m interested in thinking about ways of using digital scarcity (that we already have present in bitcoin) to prevent bots from taking all available names, while allowing Farmer John Apple to express their interest/demand for that specific name because of its relevance to their business.

from some replies on the thread it sounds like there’s not enough standardization of interfaces to make micro apps composable. Have you written anything about how you think it should be done?

meaning it’s obvious to you which of the two hypothetical parties should own it? who is name squatting in this example?

2024-08-20 21:35:46

- reply

I don’t believe it’s unsolvable, though I haven’t seen a solution yet which I would consider good enough.
I would think of names as a socially agreed upon convention that can live entirely in digital space with no knowledge of meatspace.
I don’t see any reason that Apple Inc should necessarily own the name “Apple”, but in an open market they might be able to pay more than “Farmer John’s Apple Orchard, Inc.” to purchase that scarce digital asset from a previous owner.

2024-08-20 20:03:03

I don’t think good US presidential candidates can emerge within the structure of our current system. We need more fundamental reinvention.

2024-08-20 15:50:26

- reply

If you could solve name-squatting would you find it useful?
e.g. simple use case: imagine you see someone on a video interview and they have a by-line at the bottom of the screen where they can have their handle listed so you can find/follow them on nostr to learn more
I agree WoT solves a lot, but I’m not convinced that it solves certain high impact, but possibly lower volume use-case

2024-08-19 22:59:12

Nostr’s super-power is interoperability, yet most nostr services tend to build complete experiences rather than “the best micro-app to achieve X”
Is this due to a belief that each app should be a complete end-to-end experience in itself? a lack of coordination among devs? something else?

I agree that names are merely conventions, but I also think it’s helpful to have a unique namespace that allows me to tell someone how to find me even if we’re not directly connected through WoT. I’d guess such connections are an important way of creating WoT density.

I agree with the principles you listed, except I don’t think we can expect a wide eco system to begin with. Something genuinely new here probably doesn’t have a wide-ecosystem of support from day one (i.e. wallets, browsers, nostr-clients, etc.)
independently I wrote up these core principles which I think a winning solution will probably need to uphold:
+ No central issuer
+ Fair distribution (open to everyone from day 1, scarcity in issuance, verifiable)
+ Market cost to create/issue
+ Market cost to update
+ No ongoing cost to own/hold
+ Proactive name issuance (not a side-effect of some other protocol function)

agreed, annual renewal seems like it decreases self-sovereignty
do you understand why a hierarchical namespace is chosen? is it to reduce impact to on-chain blockspace?
I haven’t fully digested the details of what kind of control the owners of the “spaces” might have over the owners of the “subspaces”. After the auction are these held/mapped/updated in a trust-minimized way?
