How would someone like my mother or once again a corporate entity like steak 'n shake decide who to donate to? This would mean they would either likely not donate or donate to the largest development corporation they could find because they would have the marketing to show their value while independent devs would remain unfunded.

I don't disagree on direct support. That being said funding organizations are a need. There's lots of devs that do work without advertising their efforts to get the funding they need. A quality funding org would help these developers continue providing their intelligence to the ecosystem that wouldn't be discovered by a large swath of users who aren't directly in the space or from corporate entities like Steak n Shake that need a middleman to find who best to send funds to.

I am sad to say I agree. It's so systemic in that organization that I'm afraid Bitcoin needs a new funding org to compete with them at this point.

Peachy actually streamed the other day but only on Twitch.

Shosho is the best in class streaming on nostr IMHO @nprofile…rxjr
I seen you mention productivity tools. You might be interested in where Formstr ends up going. They have a suite of tools they're working on that are still early but provide Docs, Drive, Forms, Calendar, etc. For my opinion they don't yet have the polish something like ShoSho has reached but they're aligned with that realm of what nostr can be. https://github.com/formstr-hq
I think a compliant nostr relays will be needed quicker than we all hope will happen with all of these kids acts and what not. Just like payments I think a lot of dev teams will want a simple api they can work with that is already set up for compliance with those laws so they don't have to run full compliance teams themselves. I hope this doesn't become the future but it's seeming to push that direction faster and faster.

I completely agree on games. I think this is something that there's a lot of room to grow into and nostr offers an awesome toolkit for game devs that more should be utilizing. I wish ZBD Social was still there to drive more higher quality game devs to utilizing it as a social layer.
I'm really optimistic for NIP-99 clients to bring a lot of value into the nostr space. shosho.live really set a high bar by integrating their awesome live-streaming functionality to create a marketing funnel for products. I think it's another app that's doing things right as far as end consumers go.
Is Antidote cooking anything up in the space yet that you can share?

2026-07-07 22:09:00 UTC

I just pushed out some new updates to GoodMorningBitcoin.com
Episodes now have direct pages to make it easier to share links to them. I still need to do some work to properly integrate them as podcasts but it works for 90% of the shows that don't have CORS issues.
I also replaced BitcoinNews.com with Bitcoin Magazine for news links for now. This was due to them using Cloudflare and blocking our fetch likely as bot protection.
Finally I made some adjustments to the way show notes load to parse HTML code better and changed around the homepage to fix a scroll bug and add a new lightning stats bar to compliment the existing Bitcoin network stats.

I don't disagree but think social is the important glue that ties them all together. When I was building nostrcal and nostrmusic I kept wanting to extend them with social features but I had never built true social elements in those. I think that's the glue that should tie a lot of the pieces back together. That's why I started working on nostr.blue to be more of an everything app with social as the cohesion layer.

I had implemented it in nostr.blue with a random originally but when my agent matched the spec it cleared that part out and now it's just like you said with only one event per board. I'm open to following your lead but I think there's a couple others that have implemented it. Let me try to remember who and see if they're using a random d tag for it.

I use my agents for a few things. The longest running is a fitness / diet agent that syncs to Fitbit to track my workout stats against what I'm eating. It's kind of replicated personal ability since Fitbit offers similar features.
More recently I started having a different agent manage my Mother's doctor records. I feed it all results for her testing and vital tracking then use those to answer questions and double check her doctors. It's been most useful in preparing visit prep sheets to help align her visits across her various doctors.
My other agents are normal coding stuff. Those aren't really the most exciting but they are useful when I want to deploy a meme site when I'm out with friends or want a detailed PR audit. I still dont like using them for actual coding because I feel too out of the loop.

It's an interesting marketing move to give everyone a taste then move to API. I guess they're going to test the thesis if they can pull that kind of drug dealer trade off.

@arcange publishes a Hive Statistics post that shows a number of Hive stats (https://hive.blog/hive-133987/@arcange/hive-statistics-202605-en) but the one above is just for their Hive Backed Dollars payouts. If payouts are still the same from when I was active on their protocol then these can essentially be doubled because the user often gets paid half in HBD and half in Hive Power (this can fluctuate based on a number of internal market conditions but its usually half HBD, half Hive Power) so we're looking at needing ~$9-10k in daily zap values to compete for total network rewards.

Steem's payout is broken now because the rewards pool is controlled by Sun after the takeover of Steemit Inc. It would however be very interesting to compare to avg zap rewards. I think they'd likely win in rewards amount.

2026-06-10 12:19:48 UTC

Yeah but the community for it forked off to Hive. Steemit is just Sun running the rewards pool.
More impressively is that I've been wrong for years now that Podcasting 2.0 would face issues using Hive but it's still churning along for them.

Similar but the goal would be that the note is encrypted to the members of the list so that only they can see it. The goal is selectively sharing to just the people you want to see your notes.

My wife and I went to the dentist for the first time in years the other day. She has a DMO plan and apparently a requirement for that plan is pre-selecting your doctor with them and then coverage will start a month or two after your selection. We didn't know that and show up for the dentist and complete the full procedures and that night I'm looking into if they'd cover some of the referred procedures to find out that we now owed the full amount from the visit all because of not marking a box on a website. Insurance is a scam.
