When I'm done building Ridestr i'm going to build an AI hotline phone number where morpheus answers the phone and you tell it "I need an exit", it asks you where you are, and you get a cash-pay drivestr driver deployed to your location for exfil

THERE IS A REAL PATH TO A BITCOIN REVOLUTION IN PLAY

Yes using valhalla routing engine built into the app. It's the same routing engine that companies like Tesla use in their backend. No traffic analysis right now, but if someone wanted to built a traffic tile server it would be compatible with it!

claude code in terminal is everything rn... it's badass what it can achieve with some good guidance

I guess i can release it soon. I just need to throw an open source license in the repo and clean up a few things and i'll probably figure out how to throw it in Zap Store this week

Okay everyone, here is a demo!

@nevent1qvz...

What if you didn't need the network effect, to beat the network effect?

I have a plan!

I didn't have NUT-13 seed implementation at first because things were going so smoothly on the test mint. Implemented now😂

they take 60-70% of the fare too, which sucks

So I made a Nostr Rideshare Protocol, and two apps: Ridestr and Drivestr

It relies on no company and no proprietary servers. All communication and synchronization is Nostr. All ride fares are calculated locally by your phone using routing map data delivered via blossom on first launch, and It uses the locally running android geocoder and or GrapheneOS geocoder for name to address search experience. Default payment method is Cashu over Bitcoin/Lightning, but I plan to expand with Nostr Wallet Connect options, as well as a pay in cash option (that drivers can filter out if they don't want to deal with it). Wallets are synced via NIP-60 nostr wallets for cashu. All other app profile features are synced cleanly with nostr.

I will be open sourcing it of course when it's ready to launch. Android only so far, but I fully plan to make an IOS version if people like the idea.

The cashu implementation has been buggy, so I'm working through the bugs on that one day at a time, but let me know if you wanna see it!

we'll see. don't doom too early.
