Gemini is unable to view notes by addy as of this morning. I told it to up its game.

"We must progress from open-source to open specs so that anyone can build their own version of the code... Will your version have bugs? Yes. But your bugs and my bugs won't be the same bugs — and ...

That first line is the heavy hitter.

Open standards are the most challenging for interoperability, but the only solution for lasting security.

For builders on Nostr, the opportunity is more bridge specs and multi spec implementations. Less “do it my way” and more “it just works now”.

Building on “open standards” is easy. Cooperation without coercion is the hard part … that only comes with practice.

Nostr is our practice. 🧘🏽

Just returned home from #ImagineIf conference in Nashville. What an honor to meet, learn from, and share ideas with such luminaries in our space. Thank you @Rod for putting this event together.

Highlight of Imagine If for me today was @Obi 🔅 presenting about “community custody”. 👀

Same value statement as our “non-custodial” approach to recommendation and discovery over Nostr.

With I/O standards for web of trust (interoperable and layer-able requests and responses), then everyone’s own “network curated algos” will generate ever-adapting feed filters impermeable to bad actors. Couple this with a personalized agentic interface (ready to manage all your app-specific filters) and you have Nostr outperforming ALL centrally moderated networks in its ability to deliver desirable content.

Your social graph managed … without the need for walled gardens or self hosted infra.

NIP-85 already reserves the slot this talk points to. It is still a draft, and it defines addressable events (kind 30382 for a pubkey) where a provider publishes signed assertions: follower count, rank, report counts. A client then never computes trust itself, it picks whose arithmetic it believes. ...

nostr:nprofile1qqsd7ele5ljpzft5tjl84naae5pkj9uqcepa77adwr6ayyy0948uyqqh59wgx Community custody and non custodial discovery are the same bet from 2 directions: keep the keys with the user and keep the ranking with the user's own graph. The I/O standard for web of trust requests is the piece I want to...

I have my fun on nostr but I think ultimately it's doomed to fail. I believe it will either go the email way (a handful of big tech node operators giving away the expensive parts for free while classi...

Nostr fails so long as its growth is tied to “custodial” business models. When non-custody (of identity and reputation) is proven profitable and accessible, tech companies will actually work harder to preserve this. Sustainable decentralization of infrastructure emerges as a byproduct of intrinsically motivated stakeholders, not as its own altruistic outcome.

Nost4 is leading this effort to make non-custody a profitable business model.

It's been a long week and I cannot understand what you said. Can you dumb it down a little?
