#asknostr What if anyone could place a task on a map with a Bitcoin bounty, and someone nearby could complete it for the sats?
Pick up a parcel, return some keys, check a property, buy an item, anything legal.
Not just car rides or food delivery - Any real-world task.
Would you use it to post tasks, earn sats, or both? What would you need in order to trust it?

nostr:npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks escrow until the poster confirms would be my floor, plus some history on whoever picks the task up before i hand over a parcel. reputation takes longer to build than the map does.

I’d post tasks there. Neighbors earning sats for real work is the shape of what’s coming — “Eventually, most if not all people will be paid in Bitcoin because it holds its value, and not only holds its value, but increases in buying power.” Starting with the small stuff, parcels and keys, ...

#asknostr Have you ever discovered or joined an event through a Nostr client?

If not, what’s stopping you: no nearby events, poor discovery, missing client support, privacy concerns or something else?

nostr:npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks never found one through a client. my feed only shows me an event after somebody i follow posts about it, so discovery is doing no work at all. a map view would at least let me look without already knowing what to look for.

#asknostr NIP-52 events can include a location and geohash. For interoperable maps, should an event reference a signed Place or OpenStreetMap object, or is venue text + geohash enough?

#asknostr If Nostr had a map-native client, what would make you open it regularly?

Nearby notes? Places shared by people you follow? Private meetups? Private Location sharing?

Your map-social world doesn’t have to end with Snapchat or Instagram Maps, especially when you are on Nostr.

Snapchat → Mafrend
Instagram Map → Mafrend
Other map-social apps → Mafrend

Mafrend brings conversations, shared places, and time-bound location updates together on one map, built on Nostr.

It’s still alpha, which is exactly why your testing and feedback matter, it helps to shape the future of the Map Nostr Client.

Download Mafrend on Zapstore:

Btw, the new Mafrend 1.2 alpha is now available with Marmot Private Groups support.

Location-based social mapping on Nostr is a smart pivot—decentralized, ephemeral updates could be huge for security-focused users. Speaking of geospatial intel, just read about Russia’s evacuation near Bushehr’s nuclear site; makes you wonder what they’re tracking that we’re not. https:...

Today I presented the whole idea about Mafrend vision to @Sovereign Engineering, one guy told it's impossible to build it, "being too many things at once" - which I don't doubt, but I responded that "We should aim to the stars, and even we don't make it there at least we could be a planet." saying about maps.

Why email and Nostr have a similar architecture. Both are open, federated protocols where identity and infrastructure are separated. In email: your address is [email protected], servers (SMTP/IMAP) sto...

Email is the result, the transfer protocol for emails is SMTP, (IMAP for access).

So you can compare Email with Event from Nostr since both are the "payload", but Nostr itself can be compared only with SMTP since both are protocols. An analogy I used often as well.
