Interesting point. If you're using iOS, in theory they're using similar encryption for anything they store of yours. I suppose you're having to trust them too (although them violating that trust would be a major hit to their brand, though certainly not impossible). I suppose the only solution here would be to use an audited open source OS?

@nprofile…jel6 immediately asks the most important question imo. Do we ultimately need "pay to post" incentives? Will this be solved by other emergent business models (as we're already starting to see from companies like @nprofile…mdf3 ). My intuition is that other business models will subsidize and keep the network sufficiently decentralized (ie enough relays storing notes).
I also think that Nostr is more about the identity layer and ability to find peers or other communities via relay rendezvous points, at which point you can use whatever transport layer you want.
But we'll see... Probably the biggest open question in my mind. Wdyt?

As vibe coding enables the creation of orders of magnitude more apps and media, the question becomes: how do I sort through this embarrassment of riches to find what I actually need? One option is to trust centralized entities like companies or governments. Franzap, however, has another idea. Using Nostr’s global identity, data commons, and micropayments, he’s designing a new kind of app store powered by a decentralized web of trust. I hope you enjoy! Here are a few topics we discuss:
- Fran’s vision for an open, permissionless alternative to Apple and Android app stores
- How Zapstore could help fund open source development
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have limited path to adoption
- Is it time to build an App Store for AI agents to use?! An open MCP registry could be a good starting point
- IA (Intelligence Amplification) vs. AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- The future of AI and app development

@nprofile…atrd 's submission had almost all of the features I was looking for, including nostr login, ability to create memes, post them to relays, and a leaderboard. Obviously this is just a prototype, so some polish around login, zapping (e.g. on the leaderboard itself), and explanation of how the leaderboard works would be nice. I think this project has legs though and I hope @nprofile…atrd (and others) continue to refine it!
I'm also giving a runner up prize of 21k sats to @nprofile…g5jd - his todostr app has some of the elements I requested and hopefully could be repurposed to build out a variety of new apps like mine. I also appreciate his inclusion of the prompts and code he used.
This was a fun experiment and I'd love to try again with larger prizes and more time. Perhaps we'll do that soon ;) @nprofile…yr67
My biggest hope is that this gets people thinking about what sort of fun new apps they can vibe code using the building blocks of global identity, a data commons, and permissionless (micro)payments.

[100k SAT BOUNTY]
This is an experiment! I'm going to a hackathon this Saturday and I'd like to showcase to a new community the power of nostr and lightning zaps. I have 2 ideas that I would like to prototype (I'm currently vibe coding them but unlikely I'll have them totally ironed out before then). I will pay a bounty of100,000 sats each via zap (so a total of 200k sats up for grabs) for a live working web version + code/prompts for each of these ideas. I will choose the best project for each category at my discretion (and will only choose one if I think it's complete enough to showcase). I am (of course) also happy to list you on the team and give you credit for building. I just want to sweeten the pot and get this done BEFORE SATURDAY MORNING AT 9AM PT.
Here's what I'd like to build:
1) Memstr
A meme generator with nostr login and zaps. You include 5 or so popular meme templates (guy looking at girl, winnie the pooh, etc) and allow anyone to enter their own text. They're then able to share theire memes via popular nostr relays and other users are able to zap their favorite memes. A leaderboard shows the most popular memes by global zaps and by the zaps of your follows. (I'm also open to using other WoT calcs but I assume that's too complex.) You should be able to login via a browser extension like alby, paste a priv key, or spin up a new nostr identity.
2) Nostr Radio
A clone of https://radio.garden with nostr login, zaps, and a zap leaderboard. Allow anyone to login to the site via browser extension like alby, priv key, or spin up a new identity. Users can zap and share radio stations they like via popular nostr relays. Users can also zap their friends for sharing radio stations they like. There should be a leaderboard tab showing popular stations (global) and from the zaps of your friends. Again, I'm open to other WoT scores as well, but not necessary as that adds complexity.
If you're interested in working on either of these, please feel free to reply to this note with questions (for whatever is not clear) or ideas. Again, I'll only choose at most one project for each bounty and only if it's fully functional and ready before Saturday at 9am PT. If nothing's ready by then or this proves to be too difficult, no sweat! Also, I'm trying to gauge how difficult/how much work this is for someone who knows what they're doing. If the pot is not rich enough, I'd like that feedback too. Thank you!
I'd appreciate any help getting visibility for this experiment 🙏 @nprofile…yr67 @nprofile…7l5w @nprofile…fy4z @nprofile…gc6z @nprofile…g5jd @nprofile…9wx8 @nprofile…qu7d @nprofile…55a2 @nprofile…3a9l @nprofile…97yv @nprofile…u7e3 @nprofile…yu6y @nprofile…ylqx @nprofile…s2s2 @nprofile…478g @nprofile…s5zj @nprofile…h7h8 @nprofile…3qk4 @nprofile…ul8r @nprofile…3cya @nprofile…fvpv @nprofile…x0wy @nprofile…xy6n @nprofile…zkaf @nprofile…yk8r @nprofile…j8dv @nprofile…lf38

And making it easy for users to remix/mod what others have built. Who is building or wants to build this?

I think it's cool. But my hunch is that we're early in the adoption cycle for something like that to take off. Same goes for almost any normal end user app.
For this next adoption phase, I'm looking for things that are adjacent to Bitcoin (which is the clear focus of our early adopters today) or that simply cannot be done elsewhere. A BTC example would be localbitcoins on Nostr - I'm really surprised this hasn't happened yet at more scale (with a shared order book among many apps). Other examples that leverage BTC and can't be done elsewhere might be Nostr based prediction markets with lightning payments. Examples of things that just can't be done elsewhere probably focus on autonomous AI - ie creating agents that can create/consume data and engage in commerce amongst themselves

What metrics do you think we should be using to measure Nostr's success/health?
#nevent1q…5lp6

2025-03-19 22:08:10 UTC

- reply

Perhaps some measure of time spent on a piece of content x trust/value score of the content (where user or app can apply whatever trust/value score they want)
Daily users sending or receiving zaps is an easier "objective" measure of actual value creation though and applies to other activity I hope to see more of on nostr (e.g commerce)
Perhaps best overall metrics then might be Nostr GDP, GDP / capita, and total users contributing to GDP daily (sending/receiving zaps or payments)

When you're following lightning development super closely, it can seem frustratingly slow. But if you zoom out, it's phenomenal. I just seamlessly used Muun wallet to top up my @nprofile…fy4z hub and make a bunch of tips (both large and small) to friends and random nyms on nostr via @nprofile…uuxc in @nprofile…mdf3 . We've come a long way!

Is there an existing registry of DVMCPs? This seems like a HUGE opportunity

An AI agent that summarizes your various information feeds will not work on proprietary sites that can shut down or limit their APIs
It will work on Nostr though!
Who's experimenting with this?
