my main motivation in life is just that I want to know the truth

when I first came here I thought “nostranaut” would make the most sense, but “nostrich” has grown on me

I noticed “E-cash disrespectoor” in your bio @captain ☦️ I’m still trying to form an opinion. I had a call with someone yesterday who shared some skepticism on eCash with me. Can you tell me more about your view?

I would love to use a project like this. Anyone working on it yet? View quoted note →

They never noticed nostr enough to try it. How should we reach these communities? Would a subreddit-like structure help everyone gather?

I don’t identify as a communist, but… after understanding bitcoin, I find non-bitcoin property rights kind of arbitrary

I’ve got a weird idea for a new nostr social media app. Probably the simplest first-time UX ever. 1. Show 10 curated notes which are interesting for some reason (got a lot of zaps, good topic for a newcomer, well-known author, about a current event, etc.) 2. Instruct the user to pick their favorite note of the 10. 3. Include another 10 notes based on some characteristic which distinguished the note they choose (topic of the note, replies to the note, other notes from the same author, etc.) 4. Goto step 2 After a dozen or so iterations of this you know topics/people that are active on nostr that this new user is interested in without any explicit topic selection or people following. Store the clickstream (signed) on a relay so other clients could use this data to build upon it. Maybe never bother with the concept of following? idk, wdyt?

Just a reminder… if you want to find more people to follow on nostr, one of the best ways right now is to visit the “following” list from the profile of someone who’s taste you generally trust. I just followed everyone @moneyball is following. It’s a modest number, but pretty well curated. I don’t know if he endorses everyone on it, fwiw, but it’s a good starter list for anyone new to nostr. You can always try it and unfollow anyone who is noisy or doesn’t fit your interest/taste. You can check my “following” list, too, but I’m prob more experimental/liberal with my choice to follow people. an algorithm could help us make this kind of thing less tedious

Who am I not following yet who has been zapped by people I am following/have zapped? algorithms can be built to serve people instead of corporations

Let’s explore more new UXes on nostr. It’s one of the superpowers of being here. This is a good idea from Oscar. Also, I’d like to see a bunch of views around most-zapped. Primal has Most-zapped 4h, but I’d also be interested to see most-zapped 24 hour, most-zapped 7 days, most-zapped from my network for those time periods, etc. View quoted note →

when a new person signs up for nostr, what do you think they are expecting to find?
