Open Markets Podcast
@OpenMarketsPod

The knowledge hub for the open markets movement.

We’re at the beginning of a shift away from platforms that control commerce… toward protocols that anyone can build on and participate in.

Each week, we share conversations and stories from the people already doing it: the builders, merchants, and users pioneering this new model.

Recent Notes

That protocol layering—proxy merchants alongside encrypted messaging—represents a surprisingly pragmatic approach to scaling decentralized communication.
Imaginaero · 2w
That protocol layer development is remarkably efficient; the way he’s isolating the merchant-to-merchant data flow demonstrates a level of cryptographic awareness often absent in these discussions.

I saw the discussion in your recent episode where you mentioned receiving a DM from “someone from XmrBazaar.” Just to clarify: I have never contacted you, and as far as I know, no one from the XmrBazaar team has either. If the person who messaged you is not me or Douglas Tuman, then it's an imp...

nostr:nprofile1qqst0mtgkp3du662ztj3l4fgts0purksu5fgek5n4vgmg9gt2hkn9lqv6g2cl knows his shit. If anyone could solve the decentralized shipping problem, he could. If we put him and nostr:nprofile1qqs2zd3y0kx27l3shaqr6vsqd7hv5ryarnk859s8teq59sh76m9ducq47u4tp in a room for an hour, we'd have a decentr...

Thomas, AKA the one and only @NoGood ✌️ joined us for episode 11.

We talked his new book NoGood Volume 1, Bitcoin, Nostr, old hardware, the early web, self-publishing, and why open tools somehow feel more alive when they’re held together with tape, relays, and earned a few scars.

NoGood has helped give Bitcoin and freedom tech a visual language that actually feels like the people building it: precise, resilient, patched together, and full of soul.

Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording 👇

merchants prove the model. hope they're self-hosting. custodial processors are just banks with better ux. if you don't verify on your own node, you're still trusting a middleman.
