For those out there who #buildnostr, do you think it would be a net positive to have some kind of platform available for people who can't code (me) but have great ideas on how to build the #secondrealm with #nostr to post really cool concepts that devs can be inspired by? I ask because I have quite a few ideas for services that could serve the #paralleleconomy that I just don't have the chops to build. I'd love to have a place where I could toss the idea out there and let the #cypherpunk #nostriches have a field day. It could even be incentive based where people can throw some sats at the project to incentivise a dev or dev team to grab it. For example, a #pleb has an idea for an app that would solve problem x. They post it in this repository. Other #plebs see it. They throw some #sats at the ideas they like or want to see. Devs can see projects and take them on. Upon completion, they get the sats. Just an idea. An idea which would be great to post in said repository. Am I makin' sense?

Today's project(s) is/are a little different. Everyday I go into @Zapstore and just look at the recents section to see what is new or newly updated. Sometimes I find a real peach 🍑, or in this case a pear 🍐. These apps are a collection from @PeerLoom LLC. Their "pear suite" of apps are great alternatives to their fiat counterparts. Their published apps include: PearCircle, PearCal, and PearGuard. PearCircle is one that I personally like as I was trying to find just this type of solution. PearCircle is the #sovereign, #P2P alternative to Live360. Keep track of the people within your circles without a centralized server peeking their eyes on all your activity. PearCircle allows you to add people to your circle and see where they are. Spouse, kids, your uncle who gets drunk and wanders; add them to your circle.

Finally, PeerCal. Share events with other people just like you would Google calendar or any another shitty big tech calendar app. All your data stays on your device.

Just a few more solutions to make you a more sovereign #pleb. Stay tuned for more highlights. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

I also would like to hear what people think on this. View quoted note →

I'm feeling really #bullish today. On everything. #Bitcoin, #nostr; the whole bit. I'm really thinking of starting a #meetup in my area. The #secondrealm is sparse here. It could use some #sovereignty.

I forgot to mention the developer of this great project: @Shadrach View quoted note →

Still trippin' on this. This is gonna be my "What's in the box!" Moment for quite some time. View quoted note → View quoted note →

Today'shighlight is going to be for #Catallax. Catallax is a sovereign, decentralized solution to the gig econony. Do what you love, do what your good at. Get paid. No permission from anybody. Simply connect with people looking for work to be done and negotiate with them. Keep the financual transaction secure and honest with third party arbitraters. Wrap all that in a reputation system, and you have a counter econony. Brulliant work from @vinney...axkl. The project is still in development, but I think it's a great step in the right direction.

I have some down time at the fiat mine. I can't stop thinking to myself.... What the fuck happened to those 50k #sats? Where did I even get that address? Am I losing my mind? I feel like I'm in a weird version of Shutter Island.

#GM #nostr I learned a valuable lesson last night. One that I already knew, but got complacent. I sent some sats out to my lightning wallet and my HODL wallet. Well, I didn't double check the addresses before I hit send. . . Big mistake. There are 50k sats just sitting in some address and I have no idea what that address is. Luckily it wasn't my life savings or some ridiculous amount; it still stings, though. You live and you learn. Que será, será.

I really like this idea of highlighting different projects from people trying to #buildnostr and contribute to the #paralleleconomy. If anyone has a project you would like to highlight, let me know. I want to make this a regular thing that I do.

Another set of apps I would like to highlight from those that @buildnostr are Ridestr and Drivestr developed by @npub1psls...4hf7. Great set of apps in the #paralleleconomy. Helping #plebs get from point A to point B without centralized servers or surveillance. Bravo!

When I first found #nostr a couple of years ago, I thought it was just a Twitter alternative. It wasn't until I got back into it recently and started paying attention to people that #buildnostr that I realized how revolutionary it is. After listening to a few episodes of @Plebchain Radio 🎙️, I went down the rabbit hole of the possibilities of the protocol. With all that being said, I love when I stumble upon a project that solves a fiat problem with a sovereign solution. And, when I find those projects, I want so bad for them to be full of #plebs from all over. So, here is a great project that should not be overlooked.

Also me. I'm glad it's not just a me problem. View quoted note →

Watching this drama with #primal is really fun. I tried Primal in the beginning. Wasn't a fan. But, people are really taking this to a deep level and I'm here for it. #dramastr

Just bought in early. We're gonna get the block. I can feel it in my nuggets. View quoted note →
