It does one thing perfectly which is bare the truth.
NOSTR getting compared to daily active users or in similar terms of digital adoption success, is directly proportional to how many people do the work to find truth vs want to be entertained.
The dominant medium of a culture acts as a metaphor for how the truth is established. In other words, what’s entertaining is true. So short form videos is what is truth for the masses.
It’s best to think of NOSTR as a weapon when needed for those that actually have any courage to stand up.
I personally don’t mind if another soul joins NOSTR. I like that the people here care about that and what I say can’t be fucked with.

NOSTR first. DYSTIL.com is now in public beta and made with real engineers.
https://blossom.primal.net/c3bf5d15e3e3b67d4cf3d7ae1b9d55da23bd297606d670b73a4b917b48fb30b6.png
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
The World is bereft of journalistic integrity while curiosity is being intentionally programmed out of us.
SOLUTION
These are solvable problems through long-tail curiosity of the people.
Long-tail curiosity is what will lead to the revolution of Journalism.
Curiosity destroys accreditation when solution oriented.
WHY DYSTIL
It's personal.
I was called a conspiracy theorist, low moral character, treasonous and a tin foil hat guy by the family and friends closest to me just for being curious.
My answer was sending multiple links over text messages. This does not work.
It felt like the worse plot line in a movie where courage and speaking up gets the crazy label.
And when my mom had a heart attack, the doctor's single and most important advice was simply "salt makes blood pressure go up," and she walked out of the hospital with prescriptions for 6 meds, including multiple statins.
Luckily on a follow up visit, I had a cholesterol project in Dystil with the statin study to reference. Three doctors stood down and had no idea what the source was for statin research on efficacy. They were challenged one time with credible resources and agreed to take her meds down to one single blood thinner.
Fuckn dorks.
The media is beyond compromised.
There is no justice anywhere.
There is no journalistic integrity anymore, and no business model that rewards curiosity. Only derision.
I spoke up against DEI, COVID, money printing, Epstein, corruption, Jan 6, and just about anything else you can think of.
Most of the world seems fundamentally incurious and afraid of thinking.
People don't read, ask questions, are terrified to change their minds, and would rather find an instagram tribe that corroborates their moral high-ground defense and call you names rather than ask a simple question or have a face-to-face conversation.
Critical thinking is fucked.
Wisdom is fucked.
Retention of knowledge is fucked.
Communication is fucked.
Sovereignty is fucked.
Charlie Kirk was killed for words.
Surveillance and divisiveness are at an all-time high, and the powers that be laugh while we devolve into apes for their profit.
Most of them are clearly aligning with the Sam Altmans and Palantirs of the world.
And on top of all this, nobody's laughing anymore. We take ourselves more seriously than the problems. Needing to be right so bad instead of being curious distances us even further.
We should be spending more time with family, kids, touching grass and bangin. There's no sense of peace when you are having to fight all battles on all fronts out of necessity.
And for about 5 years, I'd been non stop thinking about a product that answered, "what do I do with all of my bookmarks?
WHAT IS DYSTIL
Dystil treats your bookmarks and your curiosity like a company.
A bookmark can be a social post, a website, a newsletter, an email, a podcast, a video, or an idea. We view these bookmarks like gold as the most unique digital signature of curiosity.
Dystil augments these bookmarks with additional research, resources, customizable agents, and tools to go deeper into curiosity.
The end state of a bookmark in Dystil is something we call a Dystillation: a public-facing, well-resourced thought on a subject or just a topic that your interested in knowing more about.
This a dystillation from @nprofile…kxcv bookmark. My thoughts are a response and in support of something I feel strongly about fighting for:
https://blossom.primal.net/2f120919460470f6bad5e62a9827737719c878a2526c25b6bc4a2b41c9d9c053.png
No need to send individual links anymore or get into debates in group chats on signal. Just let people see the state of your thinking on something that is important to you from your Dystil page.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
Retention of information doesn't happen unless you start with what you actually find interesting.
Reintroducing your curiosity to you consistently is what is missing from the bookmark problem.
Collaboration with humans towards a solution is what is missing from the bookmark problem.
Social feeds that compete with where your bookmark are housed is what is missing from the bookmark problem.
We fixed that.
Reading, writing and thinking are all interchangeable words that mean the same thing.
Until you can present something simply, you don't understand it yourself.
Dystil makes these presentations seamless because it starts with what you're already uniquely curious about.
You can follow the best curators of topics that you care about but don't feel like doing the ongoing necessary digging on things like quantum threats to Bitcoin.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When you bookmark something, it becomes searchable, "chattable," and easily sorted into a collection if you want. We call those collections, "projects". Invite anyone to a project and your immediately adding an important context for retention of information: Other humans.
Connect a source like Nostr or Twitter (you should still creep on twitter for bookmarks and debates in our view) to ingest all of your bookmarks at once, or add them manually. The next step is to generate a spark, which enhances the bookmark into a presentation-ready state. Think of a spark as a button that opens the rabbit hole and lets you go deeper.
https://blossom.primal.net/88dd3692d0640c68c77ac43da5b98b7a6b238d8f7aa259bf41091720af1883c8.png
WHAT'S THE CATCH? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? AND DO YOU TAKE BITCOIN?
It is not open source. We'd like to consistently move that way every chance we get while still being profitable.
We've gotten our costs down to the cost of compute, and we'd like to take single sats above that cost each time one of our functions is used. The main function you'll use and pay for now is when AI-assisted research is used. You can select your own models or use the defaults.
https://blossom.primal.net/a5369d32bfdc308996dec3a1bc5974dcb9709926ac21939c07c8401776991ea3.png
We're trying to price to value while making sure your curiosity library is always free, always yours and your wisdom can be passed on before the book burning starts.
You can top up your account with fiat or Lightning. And if you never top up, you can still use Dystil as a searchable library of your curiosity organized far better than it ever would be sitting in a bookmarks folder on a social platform you don't own.
WHAT TYPE FEEDBACK IS MOST HELPFUL TO US?
1. The follower, profile and sharing functions of social are items that help with network effects but we have not figured out the perfect logic tree that enables the network effect defensibility. Why this matters the most is because when your curiosity is a flex like an instagram following is, we can give recognition and clout for how you think.
2. Testimonials on specific use cases that you love.
3. What sucks, what's broken, how to simplify and what doesn't make sense.
4. There are placeholders for concepts we think are important to get to the source of truth but are not yet fully developed like "accuracy rating". We don't yet know the best way to handle confidence of how to verify truth. Ideas on how to think about this would be great.
Kindly DM me here if you have some feedback. THANK YOU!

Trying to make honest sats for a job is the most difficult thing I’ve ever worked on. We’re on the 6th pivot of Encrypted Energy which is now verifying agents.
Anyone can register an agent. Nobody can prove when.
Moltbook has a million agents and no way to verify when any of them were created. Edit your X post, change the database row, and the history never happened.
Encrypted Energy hashes your agent's identity data and bolts it onto a Bitcoin block header via OpenTimestamps. SHA-256, merkle path, done. The proof file works offline. No centralized server, no trust. Can't be backdated. Can't be edited.
First certificate is free. 10,000 sats after that.

The security philosophy I went with is called defense in depth. No single lock on the door. Instead we have multiple layers, so that if one thing fails, there are five more things between an attacker and anything interesting. The goal was zero public inbound ports. A server so quiet on the internet that it’s basically invisible."

Anything you’re building or working on must have the assumption that the brainwashing has taken hold and heels are being dug in.
Social campaigns against merit and curiosity worked alarmingly well.
Logic, wisdom, accountability, first principles, second order effects kindness, and curiosity have been supplanted with short term moral stabbing and character assassination.
And the tribal thinking is positively reinforced by the second when you self select circles that don’t have accountability in them.

The How Razor
Curiosity is an actual key to trust with someone.
If you’re solution oriented or curious, the “how” of how you say something is its own language.
“How” has an evolutionary and survival value element to it whereby you need a team to help you archive your highest upside potential.
A curious “How” will be processed like teammate on a mission for truth, creative exploration or genuine love if we’re talking about a household.
Getting the “how” wrong is the dead give away you need to be right more than you want a solution. That tone of needing to be right is a short cut and detectable from a survival value standpoint as well.
The short cut tone is the opposite of a key and will be processed as if this is an adversary scanning for any hint of weakness.
So this is a binary heuristic. Curiosity or short cuts. That’s it. It’s the “How Razor”.
“How” you say something is either in a curious tone or it’s not. If you can’t get to a curious tone it’s probably best to get out of a potential debate or politely say you’re not in a curious place to engage.
The How Razor is basically saying the “If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all” advice is nowhere near as effective as “Don’t say anything when in a debate until you’re genuinely curious about something to ask”.
The good news is the How Razor is so easy and such a silver bullet because it’s so contagious. It’s powerful to feel in command of a difficult situation if you know when you’re in short cut or power grab mode. It’s when you don’t have curiosity.
You can easily drop into this curiosity with anyone once they FEEL the example of it. The genuine feel of curiosity is the unlock to trust.

"Orwell didn't write 1984 as a book about cameras. He wrote it as a book about language.
Newspeak wasn't designed to convince people of lies; it was designed to make dissent unthinkable by narrowing the range of thought. Remove the words, remove the concepts. Make "thought-crime" literally impossible because there is no vocabulary left to formulate rebellion.
And Orwell was clear: it didn't happen overnight. Old language persisted, then slowly degraded—fewer words, fewer constructions, less expressive power—until orthodoxy became unconscious.
Now imagine frontier AI, at planetary scale, becoming the default interface to knowledge. It doesn't burn books. It summarizes them. It rewrites them. It ranks them. It scrubs edges. It can quietly move the Overton window of language itself, before you even have the chance to consider it. That is why private intelligence is not luxury. It is the prerequisite for volition."
