BTW, this is also be happening at SEC-07. We are playing with Ham Radios!
Nostr is just so simple and so cool that its protocol agnostic. The simple idea of key pairs as identities + signing every single event is so powerful! We are just stoked that we have this and all you amazing people hacking away at it!
Notes, yeah.. but really, its the other stuff!

One of the services that keeps us hooked to googlag is maps. SEC-05 saw a lot of exploration on maps. This is important. We have the tech today for everyone to have their own unruggable maps and for everyone to share their slice with everyone else. P2P maps.
We are convinced, Nostr as Twitter alternative was just a Trojan horse, The Other Stuff is where its really at. And we are exploring that with more conviction and fervor. Check out upcoming cohorts for 2026: https://sovereignengineering.io/#upcoming-cohorts
