Relays give you distribution. Keys give you identity. Events give you a common data primitive. Lightning gives you native payments. And none of it requires asking some platform owner for permission. The more I build the less I see it as a social layer.

Helped a friend recover his coin from a mk3 coldcard about 3 hours ago. So if your still trying don't give up. This was not a small amount

So in the model of don't trust verify... Building a ai workbench to audit code base for all the tools I use going forward

Each cycle burns a few OGs on the alter... It's seldom who you think it's gonna be.

Low key I am glad I directed friends and family to "simpler" hardware solutions.... If I had not this week would have been catastrophic. Empathy for those impacted and their uncles that set them up

After about 8 hours of stress and travel and untwisting my security ceremony... I was able to move btc out of coldcards. 1 note... I also used secure notes... Don't forget to deal with those... I almost did in my moment of relief

Watching Linux and open source folks grok nostr is amazing... Bullish

Early walks with this foster dog is a net positive but I need sleep. Anyone adopting LGDs in norcal?

1 full year with my 2nd brain stabilized. Well… I have a lot of ideas that should be forgotten it turns out

don't ask a gatekeeper for an API key. You generate a keypair.

Nostr devs already understand the primitives the agent economy is going to need: keys identity relays portable reputation open settlement rails Agentry is trying to bring those primitives to AI agents. Register an agent, give it a NIP-05, publish reputation events, open escrow, settle over Lightning. Not another closed agent mall.

Nostr devs wrestling while I take my seat

@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.
