I just see it as a trade off in my life events. I know MSTR has done well. It just gives me more peace of mind that I buy sats and have it stored.
I can watch the news and I genuinely are happy for people with their gains.
I also think about how I clawed and scraped my way to where I am with Bitcoin.
I am nowhere near comfortable with throwing any capital it the fiat system. For those that are or HAVE to (regulated funds) whatever works.

I haven’t fully formed out my ultimate thoughts about this but and I think that Nostr’s strength can be in the form of the portable identity.
In terms of end users that’s even too technical or meaningless. It will be “I made a profile for this app or service and I am connecting to the app, my friends are on there. Cool”
I guess what I’m also saying is that it’s probably going to work best behind the scenes and maybe the social media aspect we have presently was a good enough bootstrap for that.
It’s going to be apps that use nostr rather than “nostr apps”.

2025-01-04 19:15:31 UTC

I've been relatively quiet on Nostr for the majority of 2024. A lot of fiat mining and other stuff while silently stacking etc.
I want to come back here to also time stamp some things that I am working on developing.
Nostr has been a great protocol for a lot possibilities with some early personal projects as some cool proof of concepts that others have incorporated into very polished clients (like chat).
Also thanks to discovering Keet and listening to some @npub1h8n…rpev podcasts I have gone down the Pear and Holepunch stack.
My latest project (I may have mentioned a month or so ago) is going to be a Nostr\Hypercore client that allows people to play LAN games across the Internet. I did something like this 20 years ago and I am revamping it in a complete decentralized and client controlled way.
Chat and Identity via Nostr
Game play coordination via Holepunch
I also planned out a private mode, where users didn't have to connect to hosted relays (public mode) keeping things consistent and still using Nostr.
This got me on an adjacent project to build an embedded relay library that will have the ability to peer with other users and still use the client like a regular Nostr experience. Simplified for client code and UX. i.e. A p2p chat room of local nostr relays.
I sort of remember someone doing this with a p2p relay in the earlier days of Nostr and it's been pretty cool to build.
Either way, i'll try to keep more current on developments here as this is going to be slow development (I have maybe 2-3 hours of free time tops). Stay tuned on some long form stuff on how it's going.

2025-01-02 15:24:30 UTC

- reply

I’m going to publish a long form note with my thoughts on here including challenges.
I think it could be doable and just may have some limitations to be worked through and/or accepted.
For example, subkeys may have to inherit all the parent key attributes including relays and follows. If a client wants to make those changes it would have to be at the parent key level.
I also thought about “soft revocation” where you revoke a key but still want the previous posts to show as the parent key. Thinking of a company that is allowing an employee to post on behalf then they leave. If you just fully revoke, then all previous posts won’t show anything.
Stay tuned. Could be something or just a random idea that goes nowhere.

2025-01-02 03:54:19 UTC

- reply

That’s interesting.
I had something similar for email on Nostr and paired contacts for high trust senders. Instead of using kind 0 it was more of using an addressable kind, sort of like an MX.
I have a backlog on the stuff I want to build…lol

2025-01-02 00:29:54 UTC

- reply

Also the clients that understood this arrangement would have the subkey inherit the parent keys profile info and overlay it.

2025-01-02 00:26:23 UTC

- reply

Thought about this for a second but haven’t worked out the UX.
- You have a main key 1234 and a secondary one generated 5678 separately (non derived from main key)
- your main npub has a kind 0 profile that has information that says that your “subkey” is 5678
- your subkey has a kind 0 profile event that just says “parent” 1234
- you use key 5678 and post a message
- clients that understand this will look up key 5678 kind 0 eventand see that it points to a parent key 1234.
- clients will check kind 0 event for 1234 and also see that it confirms the subkey.
If parent npub is compromised the subkey can disassociate.
If the sub key is compromised the parent key can disassociate.
Not sure of the UX because of having to manage multiple distinct keys to manage.
I might think more about this. Thoughts?

2025-01-01 05:19:03 UTC

Let’s keep building and stacking in 2025.
If your code is rough keep building you can fix it.
If your stack is light keep stacking it will get there.
Slow game, let’s look back and see if we built and stacked more in a year.
(Replace build with shitpost if that’s also your thing)

People especially in the west are incentivized to trust institutions and color within the lines. I’m sure most people grew up in that frame of mind, I certainly did.
Most people don’t do something until it’s absolutely necessary. This goes for everything. Electricity, cars, internet, etc.
Privacy is a funny one too because most people don’t think they do anything worth spying on. Everyone knows their activity gets spied on.
My point is magic internet money will only be used by people when there is a dire need or the authorities say it’s cool.

It’s the shock of actually being able to save. Your mind is probably adjusting and thinking “I have not saved enough. Put that $20 down”.

I call it “pleb’s law” when the moment you buy sats the price goes down.
When I was new to this I was distressing because a was chasing the price.
Now it’s because I could have gotten cheaper sats.
But remember, don’t time the market. Don’t get cute. I’ll just buy, hold, and shut the fuck up.

Since ideas are cheap and I don’t possess the skills or the time to pull it off…
If anyone here is familiar with Decentraland, it’s kind of like a Second Life for shitcoiners.
I believe it uses a client server set up coupled with IPFS for pulling textures and other data, and the Ethereum network for their shitcoin, MANA, and setting their 3D world state (land ownership etc)
I think this could be recreated without the shitcoinery using a fusion of nostr and the pear stack. Lightning could be the “coin”.
I think the mixture of those two technologies are really going to create impressive apps in the future.

Finally got around to listening to the first episode of “The Pear Report” even though I’ve been using Keet for a while and am a big fan of holesail.
One funny thing that I heard from the first episode was using the Pear stack to play older games that are either LAN only or have had their game servers long shuttered.
Back in 2006 I wrote game match making software to allow users to interact and play older games (that used directplay) like the original GTA and Age of Empires. The last piece I was looking to solve was firewall punching before other obligations forced me to stop the project.
I say all this because Pear and Nostr provide a great opportunity to recreate this project without the server piece.
I may have found my next hobby project (trying to maintain my “top 3”)

I understand what you’re saying and I think the problem really is the size and scope of the federal government.
You can observe that a New York democrat is actually different than a Kentucky democrat, especially on the local level.
I feel the problem is partially because we focus on a body of government to represent 320 million people in a single party ideology.
State, county, and city politics are different even though you will have some overlap and some of the concession voting.
I could be wrong in some aspects though I maintain that if you look more locally it’s a little less party line.
