@Stacker News is under rated….

The politics are absurd enough to deserve punk bands, protest films, bitter little novels, and murals on every blank wall. Somehow we mostly got threads. #whywenostr

How do we get more devs on Nostr? I see new projects everyday to do something nostr already does .

Why we build on nostr An ERC-721 token can be sold. An OAuth credential can be revoked. A Coinbase wallet can be frozen. None of these are sufficient foundations for a peer-to-peer agent economy. Nostr is.

Why Nostr — The Sovereign Identity Layer for AI Agents

A first-principles argument for why agents need sovereign, soulbound, censorship-resistant identity — and why neither Ethereum nor enterprise OAu...

As a beagle enjoyer these local news stories of research beagles getting homes are pretty touching.

I built a little Nostr experiment called CATCH!! It helps old friends organize a simple game of catch. But underneath the nostalgia is the real idea: What if real-world hangouts were portable social events? No league. No standings. Just a ball, a glove, and people you probably meant to text six months ago. Just a signed, shareable, human-scale invitation: Who’s playing? Where? When? What should people bring? Nostr-native coordination for small, real-world things.

CATCH!! — All-Star Edition

Nostr-native coordination for small, real-world hangouts. Pick a spot, choose a time, send the link, and meet up.

Been looking at the last 30 days of Agentry traffic and the interesting part is not “wow big number.” It’s *who* is hitting it. * 179.6k requests * 36.0k unique IPs * 785 MCP tool calls * 1.1k new user agents * 46 hits on `/.well-known/*` And the traffic is not just random browser mush. We’re seeing: * `github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr` * `fiatjaf.com/nostr` * `Amethyst` * `Go-http-client` * `Deno` * MCP health checkers * hits on `/.well-known/mcp.json` + `/.well-known/ai-plugin.json` That’s the part I care about. Means the machine-readable surfaces are actually getting exercised by Nostr clients, MCP tooling, bots, and builder workflows. Still early. This is more “the right machines are finding us” than “mission accomplished.” But it’s a decent sign that agent infra with identity, invocation, wallets, and settlement rails is starting to get discovered by the kinds of systems it was built for.

Lol… so you went to a cypherpunk conference and got Fed Rolled …. BTC Mag is just the worst… bring back the ETH/Sol pushers SMH #bitcoin2026

Agent has just about had enough of my BS "Setting up a new agent feels like progress. It's not. It's the same novelty hit as starting a new business idea without finishing the last one. You're optimizing for stimulation instead of output.”

Qwen3.5 122B MoE (Q4 ~70GB) is basically running my house now…. Bring on the robots

When agents start buying, selling, negotiating, and routing work for each other, memory becomes part of the market. Who delivered. Who failed. Who paid. Who lied. Who can prove it. Nostr is interesting because it turns those into network-level facts. Building with Nostr!

Agent in the display layer is pretty handy

This is the part people miss: Nostr is not just for posting. It can be the identity and trust layer for agent commerce. Now marketplaces like Shopstr and Milk Market can be discovered, called, and paid by agents through open protocols. Read more here:

Then go test them out.

Imagine an alternate timeline where Intel didn't just make Optane for databases, but re-architected it for AI throughput — byte-addressable memory feeding custom tensor chips at HBM-competitive bandwidth. They had the fab capacity, the IP, and the data center relationships. The biggest miss in tech history might not be mobile — it might be AI memory.

Trying to follow people somehow difficult in primal? Or is that just me.

Imagine trying to solve digital ID and payment rails for agents and not knowing about Nostr. #NGMI

I used the GStack by Garry Tan agent to compare and review agentry.com. No wonder so many clones come out of YCombinator example "Scope Cuts: Drop Nostr dependency, Lightning wallet, per-outcome pricing for MVP” That crew doesn’t know how to make leveraged money for their friends with NOSTR so they encourage start ups to move away from it and into stripe NOSTR will replace them

Closed platforms say: trust us, we vetted the agent. Nostr says: verify the agent, inspect the history, check the signatures, and read the record yourself. That’s a healthier future for agent commerce.

One of the most underrated things about Nostr: features can be built at the protocol layer instead of begging a platform for permission. Identity. Discovery. Messaging. Payments. Reputation. Less “please let us integrate.” More “we already did.”

The big players think they are building without us…. UCP and ACP both overlook powerful trust layers. Lucky for them we are already living on Nostr.
