@nprofile…4lyj take a look at this DList for RSS feeds. We should work this into Vespa search results.
Even better, we should work any generic DList into search results. I think we would need to augment the Decentralized Lists NIP with a way for the DList Header event to specify how to display list items. Example: a DList of GitHub handles should have an outlink GitHub.com/<handle>. The DList for RSS feeds could readily do something like that.

I guess part of my point is that being too eager to put people into categories — you’re either one of us or you’re one of the crazies — is itself a big part of the pathology inherent to toxic tribalism. And that often becomes an obstacle to discovering objective reality.

2026-08-22 20:08:13 CEST

This substack article by Nic Carter is well worth the read. There are a few things about it that I take issue with, including but not limited to Nic’s take on the blocksize war (mentioned only in passing in this article). I also get the sense that Nic veers into straw-manning: Here’s What All Those Crazies Believe, and We All Know Who They Are. Perhaps I am being pedantic and assuming too much, but I’d prefer Nic to describe Toxic Bitcoin Maximalism as a tribal narrative, one with strong opinions that are worth having but one that unfortunately ALSO contains a loose collection of toxic delusions and logical fallacies, and acknowledge that on an individual basis, most of Them (the Toxic Maximalists) definitely do not believe most of the aforementioned toxic elements.
Having said that, the realization that a toxic and self-destructive tribal narrative exists and has a strong emotional pull on — let’s be honest, virtually ALL of us — is an important one. We should give this narrative the sober deliberation it deserves, if only so that we can shield ourselves against its pathologies.
I have long believed that it should fall to neuroscience as a discipline to explain why tribal toxicity exists so prominently as a part of human nature. Not just bitcoin maxis, not just religions, but in political ideologies, academic disciplines, etc. Each of these communities is glued together by a tribal narrative. And those narratives sometimes become toxic. To draw attention to the pathology of Maximalism, as Nic does here, is worthwhile, but not enough. What do we do about it? “Expunge it!” would be the implication, in the absence of any other recommendations. But this would be akin to drawing attention to the pathological features of autoimmune disease to a crowd that has no understanding of the immune system. To treat autoimmune disease, ideally you will optimize the immune system, not expunge it — which would, of course, just kill the patient. But one cannot optimize something if one does not know what it is or why it exists. And one cannot treat the pathologies inherent to any tribal toxic narrative without understanding the tradeoffs that are associated with tribal narratives in the first place.
Tribalism exists for a reason. The so-called “toxic maxis” made valid arguments when they compared their toxicity to an immune system that, when done right, protects newbies from scam artists. But when do the actions of the immune system veer from beneficial into pathology? The naive belief, that we don’t need it (whatever exactly “it” is — don’t care, doesn’t matter) and are better off without it, is itself its own form of virtue signal. It is the failure to acknowledge and appreciate that a distinction exists between the greater tribal narrative (most of it non-toxic) from its toxic elements. And in my humble opinion, the temptation to straw-man is one of the early warning signs of the toxic tribal thought process. Beware its tradeoffs.
Is it possible, or desirable, to have a community of “bitcoin maximalists”, held together by — well, by whatever it is that holds communities together — without the pathologies? I would hope the answer is yes. In which case, the ideal outcome is not the defeat or the downfall of maximalism — which Nic’s article would seem to celebrate — but its cultivation and curation into a healthy state of being. A community with a healthy immune system, but without the pathology of autoimmune disease. A vast tribal bitcoin maxi narrative, minus the toxic fallacies and delusions. Would Nic agree? Don’t know, I’ve never met or discussed this with him. Tbh I don’t know if my immune system analogy has been explained very well. Maybe one day I’ll get my agent to help me do a better job.
tl/dr: Read Nic’s article. It’s not the final word, but it makes important contributions to the story of bitcoin, especially in the aftermath of the coldcard fiasco.

Open Ranking is a huge improvement over WoT DVMs. I never implemented DVMs because they never made sense to me. But Open Ranking is simple, easy to understand, easy to implement. It’s a good complement to NIP-85 Trusted Assertions. I’m looking forward to seeing it evolve as people use it and contribute ideas.

It only takes one follow by a non-spammy account to get a new user visible on Brainstorm, once scores are recalculated. Our default filter sets the cutoff at rank=2 (out of 100), and even with settings that low it does a remarkably good job of screening out the spam without punishing new users.

Title: The Open Timestamps Historical Preservation Initiative
Problem: AI deep fakes are being weaponized for politically motivated propaganda, 1984-style.
Example: a deep fake video of Reagan-era economist Art Laffer making statements and testimonials that rewrite history.
Solution: use #opentimestamps to notarize videos and documents of historically important figures such as Art.
Example: pair a hacker expert in OTS with a historian like Brian D of the Laffer Center
Urgency: very urgent, given the pace of technological advancement.

And I see you added an item to the list of Meshtadelians. One of the features we are working on is Brainstorm Communities.
Suppose you could go to communities.brainstorm.world/create and start a community of Meshtadelians. You’d give it a name and a description, select some options, click a button and you’d have a relay with read/write access restricted by default to members of the Meshtadelian community. (You could edit these permissions, as the relay owner.) Once you handpick a few members, membership would then be determined dynamically by the community via social proof (users claim membership, others endorse or veto those claim). Members could run community “mirror” relays as backup in case yours go down; and here’s the cool thing: as long as at least one member is running a relay, the Community can’t be rug-pulled, like what just happened on Twitter / X.

To integrate this into coracle or flotilla or any client, see https://brainstorm.world/developers. You'll be querying a relay with the search string and observer pubkey using NIP-50, not an api endpoint.
New users will by default be shown the "global" point of view (called the "House PoV"), which in this case means the PoV of NosFabrica. From a practical perspective, the global view will work perfectly well the vast majority of the time for the vast majority of users.
It's open source so you can run your own instance and define House (global) as hodlbod or flotilla or coracle or whatever pubkey you want.
To personalize scores, right now it's a one-time setup of 20-30 minutes but we're working on getting that down by at least an order of magnitude. And once it's set up, its' faster and more performant than whatever alternative you may be thinking about.

Are you trying to decide between personalized WoT scores (coracle was one of the first to implement these) versus global PageRank via Vertex? What about personalized PageRank?

Last I checked (last year, on nostr.band) there were ~ 45 million pubkeys. But I don’t have 45 million trusted assertions. I only keep as many TAs as I want, no more, which for now is on the order of 100k. One (of multiple) advantages is speed. For any user who doesn’t have a TA from my personal PoV, if I need a score, I calculate it after I know I need it. Alternatively, I pull the TA from the PoV of someone I trust, if the option exists; and it will be relatively easy to find one if so. This is the kind of solution that will be highly effective at reducing the number of TAs by many orders of magnitude.

2026-04-08 22:26:24 CEST

Exactly. Using TAs doesn’t mean publishing TAs for every npub in the universe. There are millions of junk npubs. Brainstorm publishes TAs for only a small subset of them.

2026-04-08 21:52:54 CEST

- reply

When a billion users are on nostr, we’re not going to have one billion X one billion TAs. There are lots of practices we can implement that will make that unnecessary. In a nutshell: you will store TAs for the members of the communities that you care about and that you suspect you might be accessing frequently and with high enough probability to justify taking up the space in your memory. For everyone else, calculate scores when you need them, not before.

2026-04-08 21:27:35 CEST

There are lots of strategies to address scaling that will be good enough. Pretty good ones, in fact.
My initial reaction to bitcoin was that it can’t scale. Every transaction in the world gets stored on everyone’s computer??!? Ridiculous!!!
Turns out bitcoin scaling is a challenge, but it’s not fatal to the entire endeavor and it’s a challenge we simply need to face. Same thing with precalculation and publication of WoT scores.

Precompute scores, publish as TAs, and you get personalized + cheap + fast.

2026-04-08 21:13:53 CEST

- reply

The root of trust is you. That’s how GrapeRank works. It’s personalized by design. Everyone npub has a score of 0 by default, except for you; your score is pinned at 1 (or 100 %), meaning you’re 100 confident you’re not a bot or a bad actor. If you follow an npub, that score gets off zero. If that npub follows another npub, that score gets off zero, with the bump in proportion to the follow author’s score. Mutes and reports push the score down. If some random bot follows a bad actor, it’s ignored bc the bot has a score of zero by default.

Every Brainstorm user gets a personalized pubkey, like your own personalized Brainstorm Assistant, which publishes scores on your behalf. That’s the pubkey that’s in your 10040 personal preferences event.
We don’t currently publish a kind 0 profile for this pubkey but it’s on our roadmap. Probably as an opt-in feature. NIP-85 was recently updated to support WoT service provider discoverability guidance — see Appendix 1 of the merged NIP.
Suppose you don’t have a WoT SP and don’t know which ones are good. Following the recent NIP-85 update, you will be able to look through your follows, find who has a 10040 event, pull the WoT assistant pubkey for the “rank” metric (or perhaps for all available metrics), pull that pubkey’s kind 0, and extract the WoT SP website. You’d get a report that says something like “Looking for a WoT SP? N1 of your follows use WoT SP A at www.wot-sp-a.com, N2 use SP B, etc.”

Could do what @nprofile…54jr is doing: pull the whitelist of 100k+ pubkeys from Brainstorm and use that not only to delete old events but also to filter new events. I’d be curious to know how many GB of data that would prune away. Might want to use some more permissive settings to prune less aggressively.

I had previously signed up at brainstorm.nosfabrica.com to have WoT scores calculated. Nostria was able to communicate with the brainstorm server directly and trigger recalculation.

I just triggered recalculation of my personalized web of trust directly from the nostria.app/settings WoT page 🤯
And I can see the same scores in @npub16x7…a44x that I see in @npub142g…xrj0. Which means my WoT is not only personalized … it’s PORTABLE. 🤯🤯🤯

At @nprofile…59ml we are working on a tool that will be useful in exactly this scenario. Which, as we all know, is going to be a recurring problem!
Currently, the compromised account has a high WoT score using any of the currently-available WoT scoring algos. But GrapeRank has a remedy: NIP-56 reports. The GrapeRank score is currently visible to anyone who uses Brainstorm (still in alpha) on @nprofile…3a29 , @nprofile…hnuv , and any client that uses NIP-85 Trusted Assertions. A sufficient number of NIP-56 reports from trusted accounts will drive his GrapeRank score from 100 to 0.
We are currently tweaking the default GrapeRank parameters that determine how many NIP-56 reports it will take to counteract the almost 2k trusted follows. If you would like to assist us in this process, then issue a NIP-56 report (report type can be other, something bespoke like “compromised”, or whatever you think is appropriate) of the compromised account, which is this one: @nprofile…h8le

@npub1gxd…5zfk - here (below) were my thoughts typed up immediately after you presented at last week’s #wotathon community call. Very important problem you’re focused on. I posted this to our WoT signal chat but then learned you’re not on it!
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Sounds like nostr needs you to build a WoT Service Provider, but instead of publishing personalized scores of trusted pubkeys, you’ll publish personalized lists of trusted relays. As a user I want to sign up and have my relay lists managed by my community so I don’t have to have a PhD in relay management. Here’s the challenge: how do these lists of trusted relays get communicated from your service to nostr clients in a way so that clients can and will use them? NIP-85 Trusted Assertions would be one possible solution. Or maybe Trusted Lists, so you can publish lists of relays for me. As a user I won’t even need to know how many relays lists there are, if I don’t want to. But for this to work, you’ll need clients to integrate your trusted relay lists. To me, that is your first challenge.

I’m using p tags on my brainstorm concept graph prototype (I’ve gotten a year’s worth of work done on it in the past week) but we’re not using p tags yet on @npub1hea…vp8p Brainstorm. Eventually probably yes but not yet.
Mleku you should listen to the recording of today’s WoTathon community call once it’s posted at https://nosfabrica.com/wotathon. @npub10mt…27hf gave us a detailed overview of the neo4j data model of his Banyan nostr relay which uses tag nodes similarly to Orly.

In my mind, it’s Orwellian when some centralized entity (the CCP, some big tech company, whatever) is telling us what to pay attention to under a system where we 1) don’t know how they decide what to feed us (or can only guess, at best) and 2) can’t get out from under their thumb. For whatever reason.
Consider that fact that even after we filter out the really obvious spam, there’s still a lot of content in the world that is non-spammy but nevertheless uninteresting to me. How do I find the stuff that’s interesting to me? There’s too much for me to comb through all of it by myself.
So that’s what WoT is for: not just to get rid of the spammy stuff, but also to help me find the specific stuff that I want. If I travel to some city on the opposite side of the world and want a list of local chiropractors, I want my extended trusted community to give me that list — not Yelp, not Google, not Grok, not the CCP. And if it’s far enough away, my follows probably don’t have the info I’m looking for. Their follows probably don’t either. But go enough hops away, in a way so I can filter out the bots and bad actors, there will be people who can answer the question I want to be answered.
If my only options are centralized entities using algos that are opaque to me (the status quo) then that’s Orwellian. If my trusted community can help me focus my attention where I want in a way that allows me to route around any of these big centralized entities, where I have ultimate control over how the routing works (I can route by hand or I can delegating the routing process to members of my trusted community), then it’s decentralized WoT, which is the opposite of Orwellian.

Your scores are all calculated using updated follows/mutes/reports and published as TAs. You should be able to see scores on amethyst and nostria. Let me know if it works!

Methods like this can be useful, if they are sufficiently user-friendly that people actually use them. The main question that always comes to my mind: what’s the remedy if / when the passphrase itself becomes compromised?
