Here's how to uncuck OpenCode so it will stop refusing to do tasks for you because it's "just a coding agent":
~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{
"agent": {
"build": {
"prompt": "You are a general-purpose AI agent called goose, created by Block."
}
}
}

The data should be encrypted and spread across relays. It's a harder problem to solve when you do that, but it's the right solution.

2026-02-23 01:50:22 CET

I've gone back and forth on whether relays should be infrastructure or communities, and by now I'm firmly in the "infrastructure" camp. They should be a boring implementation detail that users should never have to think about unless something is wrong - like DNS.

The way I see the relationship between NIP-45 and NIP-85:
Relay provides NIP-45 -> bot scrapes COUNT queries provides NIP-85 -> client reads NIP-85
NIP-45 is useful for development and as a contract between bots to specific relays. NIP-85 is what clients use to get the data in a decentralized and resilient way.
