That's fun. I actually thought of an interesting architecture you might be interested in, where you embed an nsite in an iframe. The iFrame gets your public key in the URL, which makes you the quote unquote admin of it, which allows you to set its parameters in some kind of manifest event. I'm currently working on a guestbook with this idea.
It might be interesting to have a drop in forum architecture.

Once simple way is proof of work. There's a NIP for that. You can have the client mine the event for like, 1 second, 5 seconds, whatever. If it runs in the background people won't even notice, but it'll slow down spam.
However this doesn't solve the problem of people throwing up random non-existent reports. But what if you just used consensus instead? This only applies once there's a serious network effect, but you could only show items that X number of people have reported/agreed exist. That's probably what waze does anyway.

Well, parents SHOULD have been the ones to monitor their kids' usage, but, well, that didn't work. So what else is a society that cares to do? I'm sure they see it as a necessary evil. I don't even know what I'd do instead. The way they're doing it probably won't work, and it's a horrible step to require ID for all that, but I agree we needed something a while ago.

I found this paper about decentralizing the #lightning network. I've never seen anyone talking about this. They present a way forward on decentralizing liquidity. The abstract is an easy read. #bitcoin
```
The fundamental objective of the Lightning Network is to establish a decentralized platform for scaling the Bitcoin network and facilitating high-throughput micropayments. However, this network has gradually deviated from its decentralized topology since its operational inception, and its resources have quickly shifted towards centralization. The evolution of the network and the changes in its topology have been critically reviewed and criticized due to its increasing centralization. This study delves into the network’s topology and the reasons behind its centralized evolution. We explain the incentives of various participating nodes in the network and propose a score-based strategy for the Lightning Autopilot system, which is responsible for automatically establishing new payment channels for the nodes joining the network. Our study demonstrates that utilizing the proposed strategy could significantly aid in reducing the network’s centralization. This strategy is grounded in qualitative labeling of network nodes based on topological and protocol features, followed by the creation of a scoring and recommendation model. Results of the experiments indicate that in the evolved network using the proposed strategy, concentration indicators such as the Gini coefficient can decrease by up to 17%, and channels ownership of the top 1% of hubs decrease by 27% compared to other autopilot strategies. Moreover, through simulated targeted attacks on hubs and channels, it is shown that by adopting the proposed strategy, the network’s resilience is increased compared to the existing autopilot strategies for evolved networks. The proposed method from this research can also be integrated into operational Lightning clients and potentially replace the current recommendation methods used in Lightning Autopilot.

No, my point is to stop doomering about Nostr. We don't have the killer apps yet, and the network effect is too weak at the moment. It means more time and for the rest of the internet to get worse to push people here.

I feel that. I've heard that bitcoin cash mining is more centralized. That, and the fact some people tried to *push* the bitcoin community into using it, are the downsides for me. Plus, bitcoin is already far and away the most popular cryptocurrency, and it's the first, and it has the lightning network that makes it *very* usable as cash, so... why not?

2026-06-21 03:40:26 UTC

- reply

Yeah, but there's only speculation because it's so well-known, widely-used, and popular. No offense, I know bitcoin usage is partly from of the star power (though I don't believe that's the only reason).

Hello people, what do you think of my alternative name for "decentralized tech"? "Communal tech."
Isn't that kinda cute? I like it. It adds what might be my favorite aspect of this space. We create this protocol together through shared consensus, so it's fundamentally a communal endeavor. The nontechnical are a part of it too because they'll tell us what aspects of our protocol suck lol. And the more people, the more fun Nostr clients will be to use. #asknostr

I just made two different dittos both with local toxicity filtering ideas.
1. Uses a local model running in LM Studio (with cors enabled). It prompts the LLM to get a toxicity level for each post. Could use a better prompt...
https://25yhg55w2nqfk006nhvvejnvprnxomaoqd0vv7035n1xoo5001ditto-aimod.nsite.lol/trends
2. This uses a tiny bert model that is stored in your browser. It's pretty laggy and the analysis isn't great but it's a proof of concept lol.
https://25yhg55w2nqfk006nhvvejnvprnxomaoqd0vv7035n1xoo5001ditto-bertmod.nsite.lol/
Just ideas. I'm considering using the 1st method. With a better prompt it could be pretty good. #filters #moderation #nostrdev

Oh I know it's functional! I just 1. don't want to KYC and 2. don't feel like setting up my vps to send another port to my pc to run it lol.
But mostly it's because of my experience with zap.stream. It just worked. The decentralized infrastructure was available to little ol me without any work on my part.

2026-06-17 21:48:25 UTC

I was thinking about voice chat in DEN chat. What if it worked like zap.stream? People could host servers for it and the users (one or multiple) could pay for it per minute or whatever? The users could top up a server cashu wallet or something. @nprofile…ncjp

The filtering part is what I'm most curious about. There's a reddit-like app called Mirage that has an AI feature that checks if a post is nasty and modifies it to be more calm and less offensive lol. It might sound silly but it made my time on that app way better. And using a similar technique you could filter out posts and even customize it by changing the system prompt. I can see using a tiny LLM (perhaps one from the LFM2.5 line, they're super efficient) that someone could run. It could even run in-browser or on-device, probably.
