Check out @V E C T O R, a cool nostr chat app that also supports marmot. This release brings back interoperability with @White Noise & Pika & Burrow & Marmot-ts web app! View article →

Looks like we have fixed the outbox model relay connections in @White Noise, users with a large follow list now don't get overwhelmed with relay connections, which caused messages to not be delivered or received. We still have more polishing to do, but next release will hopefully work for your existing npubs!

This is a really cool idea! It works View quoted note →

Comparative advantage is one of the most misunderstood principles in economics, and AI has made the confusion worse. Most people think it means comparing yourself to others, but the real logic is internal: you should focus on the task where your own opportunity cost is lowest. This post follows that insight through the hardest question AI raises, what happens when a machine beats the weaker worker at everything, and arrives at conclusions that neither the doomers nor the optimists want to hear.

It doesn't need to be fancy. It just needs to be free.

Still the apple prison guards have not approved our update to White Noise, it's both hilarious and sad... View quoted note →

Most people start chaining agents too early. They have a vague task, they split it into planner, writer, reviewer, tester, maybe even critic, and then they wonder why the result feels bloated, circular, and strangely fragile. The answer is simple: the chain did not remove uncertainty, it only distributed it across more participants. The Ralph loop matters because it forces the system to keep working until the task crosses a clear finish line, which means the chain has to serve a concrete result instead of producing a polite pile of intermediate artifacts.

PODSTR - Nostr Podcast Platform

A decentralized podcast platform powered by Nostr protocol

Decentralized encrypted group messaging has been called impossible by the people who built the best encrypted messengers on earth. Moxie Marlinspike designed Signal as deliberately centralized because he concluded that federated protocols freeze in time while the world moves forward, and even the IETF's multi-year effort to build MLS still required a central delivery service. Now the Marmot protocol offers the first credible specification for solving this problem at the protocol layer, and interoperable implementations are already shipping. View article →

BCC 2025 Building the Second Realm: The future of The Cypherpunk Movement| Barcelona Cyphers Conference 8333 Max Hillebrand advocates building a "Second Realm" parallel economy using Bitcoin, Nostr (distributed messaging), and anonymous cash systems (Cashu, Fedimint) to operate outside state control. He emphasizes privacy-by-default architecture—where encryption is computationally cheap to deploy but expensive to attack—and distributed protocols avoiding single-point failures like Silk Road. Solutions to

You must use nostr with Tor or a VPN. It is so easy for anyone to link your npub to an IP, and it better not be your real IP... View quoted note →

Hilarious that the prison guards have still not reviewed the update... View quoted note →

We probably identified the issue with the relay connection in @White Noise, fix is being worked on now!
