Paygates

Compute, DVM/Agent orchestration, and Local Bitcoins are 3 I'd like to see View quoted note →

Like paywalls for content? Or something else with a marketplace element?

Ya paywall marketplace. Like gum road but lightning or ecash

dev tool test infrastructure. proof-of-concept:

Valet Network - Global Testing Platform

Global device testing network for web applications

gumroad with lightning/ecash is a great idea! are you going to vibe code a prototype?!

Already did: zapwall.store

Might be a bit buggy

This is a really cool idea! Is there any similar equivalent service in the old world? Or do you think micropayments unlocks this use case?

It works! Very cool

Thanks!

I'm all in on Freelance! https://satshoot.com is going to become the tool to bootstrap a freedom economy on nostr built on LN and Cashu. The juicy stuff on nostr is just getting started. I think the problem to bootstrap a valuable marketplace built on bitcoin has been the lack of focus on freelancing. People wanting to earn in bitcoin will drive their clients towards nostr, the only way to effectively build your business without middle men to take a forced cut (LinkedIn, Upwork, Fiverr etc) and controlling who you can connect to. That's why the next version will feature Job boards as well as Services posted by freelancers. Clients post Jobs and order freelance Services, while freelancers post Services and bid on Jobs. Both will be available. Nostr as a global Reputation network of pubkeys gets you the best opportunities to find work or get the best freelancers. Simple as that.

the normie equivalent of the dev tool itself is my previous start-up: sauce labs but from a distibuted computing point of view, the closest old world equivalent might be boinc/seti-at-home... but those were volunteer efforts. I think actually paying people is an unlock. and *not* getting distracted rolling my own token (e.g. gridcoin). nostr+lightning (via cash app or primal on-ramps to get normies to convert a few bucks to sats) is perfect for bootstrapping the network. especially if it's meant to be global on day 1. (bitcoin as global money ftw.)

Physical goods marketplaces are the holy grail for true parallel economies to be realized imo, which is why I started @Shopstr Markets in the first place. I'm currently in the process of growing the site out further to support more targeted physical product niches and scale more virally. Raw milk is first:

Milk Market - Raw Dairy Direct from Local Farmers

Buy farm-fresh, raw milk and dairy products direct from local farmers. Connecting consumers to trusted dairy producers with sovereignty and communi...

On-chain Bitcoin integration should be implemented first
