Very cool project, check it out! Home Mining X Nostr zaps ⚡️🤝⛏️ View quoted note →

If #ecash wants wide adoption, users will need easy discovery of trustworthy mints, even niche ones, serving local communities. This discovery cannot rely on centralized parties, the obvious and only choice currently is Nostr #WoT . It is to verify not just that mints haven't rugged yet, Nostr can provide data on: - Uptime Reliability - Zap volume - Data on all audits so far - ... and kinds of signals of trust Of course this can be provided live which comes very handy! This way new users can discover possible new mints and make responsible decisions which to trust. On the other hand, current users are the watchful eyes over them, vigilantly enforcing the trust that mints were given. Bitcoiners often make the mistake of only thinking in terms of one system, one protocol, or maybe bitcoin and its layer 2s at most. What nostr brings to the table is a social protocol orthogonal to others like payment-protocols but very much complementary. Ecash has trust issues, and Nostr mitigates these in a simple way. Never underestimate the power of the authentic social layer, tied together by cryptographic proof.

To end this year in proper PoW fashion I implemented #WoT indicators on Avatars in #SatShoot : The circle-borders indicate who's part of your WoT and who's outside. Profile pages show more info and explain in a tooltip. "Blocking" actually uses kind 10k mutelist to make use of already gathered mutes in SatShoot. You probably don't want to engage in business with explicitly muted ppl. Next up: On Service and Job feed pages user will be able to toggle WoT filtering. The philosophy of SatShoot is that we whitelist and everyone else shows up as "untrusted" and hidden from feeds by default. This however hurts exploration for new users so there are ways we encourage forming of new relationships: - DMs and "Freelance follows" punch through WoT filtering - We encourage sharing of jobs/services via kind1 and URL copying, this can land users on profile pages and job/service landing pages where WoT filtering is not applied - Search bar also accepts any job/service/user - If you submit a Bid/Order and you don't follow the target, you are prompted to do so - Toggling the WoT filter will encourage exploration as well So heavy filtering is applied but in the end there are plenty of mechanics for users to connect. Soon I will also implement #Vertex for SatShoot users to gain even more info on "Untrusted" users. Note: WoT affects visibility and is the filter for events used in Reputation calculation. Reputation in SatShoot consists of Zaps (money paid as client or received as freelancer) and average ratings from Reviews. It is strictly contextual to freelancing, e.g. zaps on posts don't matter. WoT is to get on the radar of minimally trusted users. Reputation matters to actually make a deal. Will submit the full implementation with Vertex to the #WoTathon and see what others have to say! #freelance

427 hours of podcast this year so far. 1 day to go.

Am an operator myself and love how nostr is gradually eating the lunch of all rent-seekers of the networking stack: View quoted note →

Are you already planning your next moves as a builder in freedom tech? Tell us about it! The best way to do it is applying with your demo on https://budabit.club !

When I found Bitcoin, I was mostly alone with my thoughts and my plans to reorient my life around PoW and decentralization. I've always been fond of doing things in a community though, so when I learned there were no active meetups in Hungary I started one. Now that's officially part of the "twentyone" family of meetups:

Huszonegy Portál

BudaBit Cypherpunk Meetup

BudaBit Cypherpunk Meetup: in partnership with Hus...

. Thanks for the awesome website @President Ben ! But to me who is working on freedom tech full time, a monthly meetup still wasn't enough: I started #BudaBit for all builders and aspiring devs in freedom tech to connect, share and collaborate like never before. It is an attempt to transcend the platform model for open-source development, and bring it to the next level: Community driven development, powered by Nostr. BudaBit Demo Day is part of that plan: What I've found on my journey is that feedback is essential to the process, and it is not easy to find people who get it and can provide valuable feedback. If you're a builder in freedom tech, this event is for you! Go to https://budabit.club for details!

📢 ANNOUNCING BUDABIT DEMO DAY Have you got something exciting cooking in Freedom tech? It's time show it off to an audience that truly cares! Early next year I am launching BudaBit Demo Day - a regular event series focused on Builders in Freedom tech! 🤙 Want to get honest feedback on your project from other builders in the space? This is your chance then! Go to https://budabit.club for details, and **apply with your demo today!** Spoiler alert! Everyone’s invited but only the best are chosen! 🏅 PS: If you got friends in the space, please share! I created BudaBit for all freedom tech builders to find inspiration, get feedback and supercharge their work with the power of Nostr! Haven't got a demo to share just yet? You are still invited to the party! Come, get inspired and provide constructive feedback to the presenters! #budabit #gitvianostr #ngit #community

So bullish every time I listen to @Pip the WoT guy talking about #wot ! We need optimistic builders tirelessly working on the proliferation of nostr and the new trust model: View quoted note →

@Oscar Merry fountain subs are buggy. You say sub from $5 (5.530 sats) which is then converted to $55.30 incorrectly and that amount is calculated in sats (61.162) . This is a serious bug fix it soon.

@cloud fodder Trex stopped working, cannot browse events on my relay. It's not showing any events when I put in a specific kind that must exist (eg kind9 as chat msg). Tried desktop and mobile, neither works. Otherwise curious about this issue as well: Can't auth to my relay with nak, but only when I want to send events. Returns "Failed... you must auth" I gave it the auth flag and otherwise when I run "nak req ..." it works. Only problem is when I want to post. Other relays also auth alright (e.g. filter.nostr.wine) Appreciate your help. Due to the nak problem + trex not showing I cannot delete any events from my relay.

Hey Nostr, Please help me with this issue and I can pay sats for your time: ## BudaBit Landing page and Home page design and implementation #BudaBit is the community for builders in Freedom tech. It enables limitless possibilities for devs to connect, learn, share and contribute. BudaBit connects mentors and mentees, contributors to projects, helps find code and concept reviewers and much more, to be the epicenter of freedom tech development. We are very close to announce v1 and start community activities. I want to express this in a nice LP and community Home page. Only apply if you can implement your design (Svelte 5, Tailwind css) , Figma is not enough. Landing page from scratch, Home page must be modified / adjusted / redesigned possibly. Current home page: https://budabit.club We go through your concept and implement in steps. The usual drill. Point me to your portfolio if you apply. State your estimated delivery time and your price. Make a bid on this URL: https://satshoot.com/naddr1qvzqqqrllupzp5zweue6xqa9npf0md5pak95zgsph2za35sentk88jmzdqwk925sqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsqs6zw4jxzsnfwsk5cctwv35kueedwpskwefdv9hxgt2gdakk2ttsv9nk2ttyv4ekjemw94skuepdd9khqmr9d4jkuarpw35k7m3dv9mxvefhv56q5nvp #satshoot #asknostr #freelance #design #web #budabit #landing_page #home_page

Today I started to implement a new #WoT UX for #SatShoot . Client-side Web of Trust is already working, taking extended social follows, mutes and reports into account. New users are bootstrapped with SatShoot account follow network (can be switched off in settings) Plan for improvements: 1. Implement Mutes as blocklists. Network (ppl you follow) mutes can remove from WoT but user-mutes (kind 10k) will hide blacklisted ppl from Services and Jobs feed. You can still land on a profile page or service/job landing page of a blocked user avatar will be shown as blocked. DMs will be blocked from these ppl and there's no way to allow them in Reputation calculation. Only affects visibility 2. You will be able to show/hide ppl outside WoT in Job/Service feed 3. I will implement #Vertex analysis in Profile pages. I will query top 5 reputable follows (personalized). I will make this feature paid (thinking 100 sats / query) but Vertex is not yet able to handle ecash or LN payments easily so I will get some credits myself. I'll cache the result so it will be reusable. Will show the user if he follows any of those reputable followers of the analyzed pubkey. I think of this as sort of a fallback or extra info for the user to be able to trust more and eventually follow people in freelance context (kind30k) which is explicit trust in SatShoot. Later community memberlists of uswr can be added as well, when they come alive. Plan to demo this in the #wotathon later. Thoughts? #devstr
