Another city. Another forest. Same weekly regen walk. Gm Bois de Lauzelle in Louvain-La-Neuve.

Nostr needs to embrace web3. I love bitcoin, but we are shooting ourselves in the foot if we are going to ignore what’s happening on the other side. We need to embrace stablecoins. People should be able to tip using USDC like on farcaster (or better, using whatever community token they like).

Another great regen walk. With a unique encounter 🐍 #regenwalk

If you invite me to an event that is not reachable by train from Brussels, my new default answer is “sorry, that’s out of my carbon budget”.

"Centralized systems are prone to takeover and abuse. And so that’s what happens. And this is why decentralization and democracy go hand in hand.”

The “De” In “Decentralization” Stands For “Democracy”

There’s a certain dark irony in watching tech billionaires who built their empires on the “democratizing power of technology” now...

Gm Brussels. Rain or shine, Wednesday morning is for #regenwalk.

What if it was as easy to create a Nostr Relay as creating a new WhatsApp group? Each relay would basically be an outbox where you post copies of your signed messages based on the group you want to reach. 📤 You could have a relay for yourself (as a backup and to sync all your devices), multiple public relays for censorship resistant free speech, and a relay for each of the communities you are part of, each with their own access rules. What do you think? Wouldn’t that help keep Nostr decentralized? Wouldn’t that be easier to implement than group encryption mechanisms (though one doesn’t prevent the other). Anyone already working on that? #asknostr

Lots of updates on TxInfo.xyz - support for combo tags #key:value and #[key:value with spaces] - live updates - support for ENS names and avatars - add a name / picture to your Nostr profile - easily import your own nsec You can support the development by making a small donation on Gitcoin before April 17th https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/42161/867/129 (Zapping this note works too, but with Gitcoin your donation will be multiplied by the matching fund dedicated to support digital commons). Also looking for contributors to add support for bitcoin transactions, filtering by tag and creating a Sankey diagram and other charts using the tags 📊 Would also be good to allow people to only submit metadata to custom relays for privacy (and/or encrypt) 🔐 As a user, I should be able to control with whom I want to share my notes (Google Docs style). Please tag a developer below this note. 👨‍💻

After the yin fighting for the yin (woke movement), we now have the yang fighting for the yang (maga). Can’t wait to go through this period to find a new equilibrium on the other side where the yang (competition, the market, performance) can be of service of the yin again (public goods, care, education, beauty) and vice versa ☯️ Till then, be kind to yourself and to each other. Don’t burn out, don’t burn cars neither.

Lots of improvements in the past week on txinfo.xyz.

Such a simple and brilliant idea:

Bankr - Your Friendly AI-Powered Crypto Banker

Bankr is an AI agent that can buy, sell, swap coins and place limit orders.

Anyone building that for Nostr?
