My current health plan is: -Eat real nutrient dense foods. -Intermittent fast for 12–16 hours per day. Vibes based. And sometimes go multi-day. -Go for long walks or bike rides in the sun daily. ...

My hack for exercise. I do VR games that make me move. A lot of moves. I added kickbox resistance straps which add strength training to the aerobic exercise and gaming it makes it fun instead of suffering.
Adding video of how it looks and heart rate monitoring of my 49 years old personhttps://m.primal.net/LBch.mp4 .

I would like to build open Graph computing over Nostr.
Any help and suggestions are welcome

What
-------
This note describes a basic framework for graph computation over Nostr Network. Nostr graph computation can find/calculate social data from the Nostr network. It may be able to find sub-communities, fields of interest, popular posts, etc

Why
-------
Graph computation is the base layer that allows the mining of social data from social networks.
Nostr is a protocol that enables social network applications.
Some of the more advanced and useful applications of social networks rely on computed social data. For example, a matching service based on a social network would use the ability to identify subgroups of connected entities or the ability to query for entities in a group who match some criteria.
Currently, every such app built on Nostr needs to compute its own social data. This is a complicated and costly process that narrows and centralizes the space of more complex and potentially highly useful applications.
Open-source social data mining utilities can lead to an open and distributed Nostr social data computation market, hopefully distributed between actors.
A framework and to some level, a protocol for computing Nostr social data can help achieve this goal.

How
-------
Big graph data computation requires a lot of processing, a lot of storage, and relatively complex software to manage it. These requirements tend to make Big graphs computation be done by gig centralized companies with enough resources to pull it.

This framework attempts to solve this by:
- Make use of relays as the data layer (storage) for graph computation and make the computation process as

- Define a low-level and hopefully simple protocol that allows disjointed actors to cooperate in the computation process and keep it distributed between different actors.

- Be an open-source software that can manage the synchronization between computation suppliers and allows other software developers to extend it to do more specific graph computation.

Welcome. I don't see how you're not aware of the fact that Nostr obviously failed as social media. Fedi is a much better domain for your project because of Threads. Your project will not be well received because fedi and nostr users don't want to be easily searchable.

2 good devs could write better apps in a year. Most of dev effort is wasted on zap bullshit. You also can hire much cheaper devs from India and Eastern Europe. Relay development has completely stagnated, no updates in a year for 2 most popular ones.

Neo4j database + crawler. Who's funding it? Seems like a dead on arrival project

@Layerjack (Onion Knight),
As many other Nostr projects. It's not funded at the first stage.
I think if built correctly, the framework allows for a marketplace between social data consumers (Customer facing Apps that monetize social data), computational resource suppliers that supply social data and relays that store social data.
This marketplace can fund the evolution of such a protocol and framework while strengthening the base layers of Nostr.
Layerjack (Onion Knight) · 94w
It's a dead project. There aren't enough users here for any ad-dependent project. You have no funding, and none will be given. Play with neo4j it's a fun way to waste some time.

if you could have sats flows today, would you be willing to defer them for the chance to have the *same or lesser amount* of sats flows in the future? or would you always require *more* sats to compen...

Perhaps this is relevant to you:
To make a significant impact on the world, bitcoin needs to move from a store of value to a medium of exchange, allowing its 'hard money' properties to touch lives, change social orders, and stabilize its usage as world money.
A way to push this transition is a bitcoin crowdfunding platform for bitcoin ventures that repay investment in bitcoin.
Such a platform can encourage investors to convert their fiat currency to bitcoin for investment purposes. This would promote the growth of bitcoin businesses that focus on building for bitcoin use cases, earning bitcoin, and paying back to investors in bitcoin. Ultimately, this would lead to the development of a cross-border circular economy
Femi Longe, thank you for sparking this for me.

To be honest, I think the bitcoin ETF is the most boring thing about bitcoin right now. Whenever I get asked about it I'm like, "meh". Yes, the ETF should be good for price and liquidity, since it gi...

In the spirit of connecting Bitcoin hubs, what do you think of a semi-distributed Bitcoin Crowd Fund built on Fedimint and Nostr?
The essence of it is:
"A platform for people to invest in entrepreneurs aiming to solve real-world needs using Bitcoin"
Here is a link to my thoughts about it so far in a Google doc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/110x1mZ6GNeFqU2EWdlIoAhvyoPtoEcgXbID95gGC9CU/edit?usp=sharing
Would love your opinion.

We've already got https://geyser.fund and Tallycoin.app. Bitcoin has had many crowdfunding apps since 2010, in fact.
