The @npub1spr…8s72 hack week was the genesis of the Netherlands and now Brazil billboards! See all their ideas below for inspiration.
What message do you like for 🇧🇷 ?

Funding Secured!!! 💰 ₿ 𓅦 🇧🇷 >4.2M sats from >140 nostriches
Ask and ye shall receive! On Friday, I noticed an amazing Nostr billboard in Amsterdam put up by @npub1qe3…zefe & based upon ideas from @npub1spr…8s72. I asked if anyone was doing something similar for Brazil, a country where awareness might really move the needle at this particular moment in time (h/t @npub18pl…hesh for the mind seed). By Saturday, @npub1kmw…xqk9 had launched a project and worked out the logistics with @npub13u2…gkaz. As of 30 mins ago, we crossed the finish line thanks to a generous contribution from @npub1ug8…d9ry.
This is a BFD and shows the power of open networks for communication, value, and payments working symbiotically together. We literally willed an idea into existence in ~ 3 days (and I'm guessing we'll need a few more to get the art/message settled and board up).
Social media was powerful in the past, but ultimately very limited. It's one thing to rally and organize the troops. It's something else entirely to transmute that potential energy into kinetic energy via the coalescence of "real world" value. The digital world is now reshaping the physical and this is just the beginning.
Nostr, Bitcoin, and the Lightning Network together are much more powerful than anyone yet realizes 𓅦₿⚡️

[New Podcast]: Power Markets, Pirates, and Energy Backed Money w/ Andrew Myers (co-founder, Satoshi Energy)
https://fountain.fm/episode/zMQwDUDX2qKtwiQarfNg
Andrew and I sit down for a fun conversation while overlooking the San Francisco Bay. There are a few sound/wind issues with my mic (mostly towards the end), but hopefully nothing too disruptive.
We focus a lot on energy, but touch on a number of interesting ideas from the edge, including:
- The declining cost of solar and batteries
- The commodification of solar and Bitcoin miners
- The interconnection process in ERCOT
- Opening new markets as the cost of solar continues to decline
- Bitcoin Mining vs. AI compute markets (price and uptime are two major factors)
- Reforming legacy power markets vs building new ones with microgrids (micromarkets enable microgrids)
- What a power market does: 1) match supply and demand to create price at each node and 2) serve as clearing house
- #Nostr as the communication protocol for decentralized energy markets?
- Pirates once ruled the world because they were free to experience different modes of life. Do they still?
- Andrew’s vagabond/pirate ethos and lifestyle experiments
- Andrew’s other business idea: a tech enabled private military as an insurance company
- How does humanity evolve into the hivemind?
- Patience as the ultimate virtue
If you're feeling the show, please listen on @npub1v5u…n0v5 and stream some sats!

💯 Nostr is the open digital substrate in which an ecology of AIs will evolve. Pubkeys will be the membranes delineating organism from environment. And the flow of energy backed money (bitcoin via lightning network) will represent metabolism.
I published this >1 year ago, but still generally agree with the thesis: https://hivemind.vc/ai/
So far I've been excited by projects like Open Agents, Unleashed Chat, Project Alexandria, and DVMS. What else should I be watching? @npub1tlv…7fdm @npub1az9…m8y8 @npub1m3x…a5sf @npub1l2v…ajft @npub1mgv…pdjc

Different benefits at different stages
While you're in the cold water, you have extreme connection with physical reality. It doesn't matter what else is going on in your life, you're 100% there (during winter it feels a bit like you're entering cardiac arrest haha)
After the cold + sauna, immense relaxation. Like this very deep calm despite whatever external conditions. The contrast between extreme heat on the skin and this deep cold you feel internally is magic
It also seems to be great exercise. Purely anecdotal (no research), but the cold seems to burn off excess fat and a long hot sauna feels like you did cardio
I'm hooked

[New Pod] Ideas from the Edge: Music, Discovery, eCash, and Identity with Tony Giorgio
https://fountain.fm/episode/BZEqpFxBFzeLGgZUV177
This was a fun one! @tony and I cover a lot of ground, including:
- Music and its role in society: “He who controls the music controls the mind”
- Why the ad model for monetizing the Internet is not only a panopticon, but also extremely ineffective
- How to find under appreciated long tail Internet content
- How to improve Nostr on-boarding for noobs
- The role of the curator on Nostr
- Permissionless identity creation means evolution can happen much faster
- How Tony uses AI
- How to live a healthy life with (and without) technology; camping is great - in theory
- The balance between contributing to open source and building a company
- Lightning Network as the final settlement layer and Nostr Wallet Connect as the async message layer
- eCash and why Tony is bullish on Fedimint
- Fedimint as its own consensus network
- Nostr evolving into identity for the Internet
- Nostr as the fire hose of raw data - you can build anything with it
- Open source vs. closed AI development

This is big 🤯
Nostr is not for social media. It's the ENTIRE web 🌐
As the old web drowns in waves of AI generated spam, only Nostr will survive. A web without centralized choke points. A web with authenticity where every note is signed. A web that's machine payable by default.
Buckle up amigos. We're sailing to the new world much faster than I realized. Feeling lucky to be alive to witness and be part of this! 𓅦 🚀 ⚡⛵

hah that's fair! (although we still have most of hackernews left to onboard)
I'm more interested in showing other specific use cases that are interoperable e.g. create a webpage with npub. pro then use that key to access social media with Primal/Damus, payments with mutiny, podcasts with fountain, music with wavlake/tidal, annotation with highlighter/wikifreedia, etc.
and bring your identity/graph with you wherever you go

Great points! I think we'll see some of those new apps / use cases pretty soon. Your idea to earmark a percentage of donations for relay operators is a good one. I'd love to see experimentation there. I also hope (and expect) we'll see several well funded companies enter that can eat those costs for as long as necessary until the economies of scale kick in.

2024-06-28 04:40:14

- reply

All very fair points! To be clear, I'm not thinking WAUs just for the social use case. Could be for payments, marketplaces, audio streaming, or "other stuff."
Assuming new popular use cases do emerge, what sort of changes do we need for the infrastructure to be ready to handle that sort of volume? Is it mainly having pro/paid relays with clear and sustainable biz models?
I agree we need a mindset change, but I think the amount of new building happening under the surface is about to start bearing fruit. Let's see!

2024-06-27 18:29:46

Thinking more about the @gladstein bet. Not only would I take the over, but I would actually take an order of magnitude over 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026. Maybe much more.
#note1d6a…w4k9
1) Current WAU count is already likely much higher than 30k (if you count reading nostr as active usage)
https://primal.net/e/note189hk9l3wg62ge0klc0jvadnpdegycjxflcwtqa2yslmetpe96shsfxzuw3
2) Two companies alone will bring us way over 1M users. And they've already got Nostr integrations live
https://stacker.news/items/554100
@cash
https://primal.net/e/note1x96fnaqmme5klpg0ra0srgj8zk70tt679zxcshkwjlga5t3qw5dswf8xu6
@tidal
3) Nostr Wallet Connect is likely to go mainstream as the global bitcoin/ecash payment standard and I expect to see every bitcoin/lightning wallet adopt it over the next year
https://nwc.dev
4) AI agents coming to Nostr is real. As information goes infinite, Nostr is the only corner of the web where every note is signed (and thus trustworthy). And Nostr + Lightning is the only infra capable of banking these agents such that they can interop with each other and us
https://hivemind.vc/ai/
https://openagents.com
https://unleashed.chat
5) And ofc that's to say nothing of what will actually happen, which is that A) current UX will improve radically (making it easier to onboard noobs to existing use cases) and B) new unexpected nostr use cases will emerge, surprising even the biggest nostr bulls to the upside.

This is the rule of thumb I've always used as well. I doubt Nostr is 99/1 lurker ratio just yet (though we probably get there at scale), but lurkers are still probably the majority. What's your best guess at how many weekly active users just lurk/read?

My dad made this art (and joke)! Gotta get him on nostr now. He's a fan of the principles

Yea to be clear, I think a raw public/private key pair is just the start. We definitely need re-key solutions. But I think that's a solvable problem. Social recovery and pre-assigning identities seem promising. I'm sure there are other solutions I haven't thought of in the works @npub1l2v…ajft @npub16c0…6nvr @npub1xdt…ntxy?

Just checked it out! Is there web client I can log into with something like Alby or nsecbunker?

Yea it's a very fair point. Simple key pairs is just the starting point. We'll need to figure out how to rekey people potentially with something like social recovery and/or pre-commitments. I believe we'll solve these problems over time though. Getting adoption for an interoperable protocol is much more challenging though imo and that's where Nostr is beginning to shine

[New Essay] Nostr is Identity for the Internet
https://hivemind.vc/identity/
The Internet needs user-owned identity and an associated open data layer. And I'm more convinced than ever that Nostr will win.
I agree with @npub1sg6…f63m that the long tail of microapps is ultimately Nostr's killer feature. But which will take off next?
In my mind, Nostr will follow a straightforward trajectory - first solving discovery/reputation problems for Bitcoiners, then for early tech adopters, and finally for the mainstream. Here are some examples where I think Nostr based discovery & reputation will shine:
- Global, social payments ala @npub12vk…pugg @npub1mut…23vg @npub1get…0nfm & @npub1arc…ggtw
- Ecash mint discovery/selection ala @npub1mut…23vg & bitcoinmints.com
- Marketplaces for DLC oracles ala lava.xyz
- Local Bitcoins replacements ala @npub1m0s…40un
- Open Source AI agent discovery ala @npub1tlv…7fdm's openagents.com & @npub14pf…7mwj
- Marketplaces for APIs ala @npub1l2v…ajft's DVMs & @npub14tk…zw96
- An open github replacement ala @npub15qy…yejr's gitworkshop.dev
- An open PWA App Store ala @npub1wf4…dgh9's zap.store & store.app
- ValueRank search & discovery ala @npub1sx9…6g8m @npub1730…9yky & kagi.com
- Marketplaces for files ala @npub1lun…27lj & @npub1ye5…knpr's Blossom
- Review & UGC content sites ala @npub15la…v7v3's heyapollo.com & @npub1dtg…up6m's Satlantis
- Value4Value content creation and delivery ala @npub1v5u…n0v5 @npub1yfg…v6vg & @npub1kmw…xqk9
Of course the most exciting category of all is the unexpected wave of unimaginable apps that will eventually emerge. Ultimately, user owned identity and open data lead to online trust, which is a beautiful and deflationary force, capable of disrupting predatory marketplace middlemen and shifting the balance from financial to social capital. I.e. a more humane world. (h/t @npub1lun…27lj)
Thanks to @npub1xdt…ntxy @npub16c0…6nvr @npub1kuy…kdj8 @npub1cd0…xlvx & @npub1q5s…ky65 for feedback on this essay.

Game changer. This reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage
But way bigger

Top zaps will definitely encourage competition and more zapping. I can also imagine people using this feature to run auctions. And all sorts of other weird things I can’t yet imagine I’m sure

💯 Web of Trust + ValueRank for surfacing information in 3…2…

Amazing! I used to use Urbit. Love the aesthetic, but it's way too complex (and suffers from all the pure p2p problems) to gain adoption anytime soon imo. I'm all in on Nostr. What are you experimenting with?
