I happen to catch a large chunk of this talk while backstage because we had a panel right after and it was good. Whenever the recording gets published you should watch it View quoted note →

Home again, after Oslo and then Prague i have done enough driving for a while. Will rip and post the #BTCPrague keynote when its out so y'all can shove Nostr in peoples faces

New app just dropped

@knutsvanholm says the purpose of Bitcoin is money. Its a common confusion, but the purpose of Bitcoin is obviously OTS, and btc is just there to incentivize the hashrate.

Can confirm @BITKARROT is indeed a dude. It is known

Bit rushed on time, i forgot to make a couple of points that i will make now, geared to the developers, especially those that want to put "Nostr" into the background: First: if you give users in your app an "account" because that is easier; they will end up making another "account" in the next app they download, and at that point, we hardly differientiated from where we came from, its probably worse. Second: If your argument is 'if users are ready they can blablabla'; how are they supposed to get 'there', get 'ready' when you went out of your way to hide everything from them in the first place. How about you find a way to help them understand rather than hide it for the sake of "UX", which leads me to: Third: The best "UX" is probably the app that just 1 thing and that 1 thing only; and that set up only really makes sense if users are competent in using their profile in various apps. Well, thats mostly it, im off drinking beer now View quoted note →

People get excited over replying to a zap. Thats ok, but i feel everyone should atleast just once try to reply to the random thing manually using NAK . Go reply to a blobbi or something, or if you are not creative, reply to someones kind:0 .

Proto-Nostr

A guy named Pavel Kudrna contacted me because he is working on WoT, perhaps you guys want to check out his site/paper. I don't have the time right now, but will meet him at BTCPrague for a coffee. personix.org @Pip the WoT guy @ManiMe @david

So im busy prepping my keynote for BTCPrague where i will argue that most of you are just dead wrong (but you will ignore my words, guarenteed so thats ok) and do what everyone says is the thing you are not supposed to do. But after prague I will sit down with Ostein and see if my converting his website into a nostrified website trick worked to get the point across. And if it did, and he likes it, then the next stage will be really straight forward: All you fucks just need to go and task your agents to pirate contentcreators/peoples/business their website, rip it, nostrify it, and SHOW THEM WHY NOSTR IS BETTER. It makes maintaining their site easier, and solves a reach issue for any of their audience/friend/customers that are already on Nostr, not having to go to their h t t p : / / w w w . w e b s i t e . c o m in order to access their stuff in a sovereing/censorship resistant way. Will keep you posted in a week, or see you at #BTCPrague
