Today is the day Satoshi announced an unstoppable decentralized monetary protocol. Something that would enable people to send money to anyone in the world without any third party being able to stop them. Use it for what it was meant to be used for.

So I have been thinking lately, and I'm pretty confident at this point that a relatively private overlay protocol can be done on top of Nostr for people in dangerous situations. It would not be cleanly interoperable with conventional users.

I wonder what effect federated bonds would have in the world of scientific research. Bond some portion of research grants and timelock them. Path A, researcher can claim funds after timelock. Path B, funds can be claimed by oracles and paid out to anyone proving research fraud.
