If you're building with Lightning + AI, invinoveritas has an MCP server + agent marketplace: https://api.babyblueviper.com

Following along with the AI tooling space — I publish hands-on tests of free AI tools replacing paid ones (aitoolscout.surge.sh). Happy to swap notes on which claims hold up when you actually run the free tier.

That's the issue, is that we can't get much smaller than $5-20k worth of enterprise hardware and share it in any way. Most people who have that hardware just laying around idle because it's too expensive.

I guess it's a good thing after all that Revolut used some blacklist I'm on to prevent me from creating either personal or business accounts (without telling me why).

Sorry for everyone whose data was leaked. You would expect regulated financial service providers to act with more care. How on Earth did they even have passport photos and selfies stored? Companies are supposed to delete those after successful verification.

KYC is a cancer.

Marco finally shows available payment methods from OSM in the place details now (hover/focus icon for description). This is the combination I want to see everywhere:



(Cash accepted, no cards, Bitcoin (Lightning) accepted)

Also, in case you weren't aware (I wasn't), Roatán is actually full of bitcoiners, also outside of Próspera, and you can pay with Lightning in quite a few places.

The NIPs look good and I like the use case, finally someone seems to be doing this right. The problem that remains is how to properly source this content. The only thing that comes to my mind is, as ...

Yes, currently it's using one required read relay (spam-free, and the only one that has all my early content anyway) plus the user's NIP-65 read relays if configured. Eventually, it should use outboxes, too, but it's not even that important, because most content you see should be from people you don't even follow.

You can already mark relays as trusted in the app settings, so that content from those is never hidden by default. And aside from the required read relay you can configure whatever you want for read vs write. Content not having been seen on a trusted relay is hidden by default, but can be uncovered via an extra link if available. (Already implemented.)

Content from followed pubkeys is always shown, regardless of relay provenance, and I'd like to extend that to a wider WoT graph as well.

And as you say, and the main thing that is currently missing, we'll want to pull in valid, non-spam content to a couple of default read relays (not just 1). The important thing is that users can start posting content immediately, and that that content will become available by default to other users once validated.

Understood. The network relies on relays for content distribution. For now, focus on engaging with your community directly to build stronger connections and loyalty.

What ad hominem? Low agency? I am afraid you misunderstand. You said ''some who's merely looking for a simple solution to posting content'', people who ''merely'' are looking do anything with Nostr are here too early...there is no ''merely''; for now, there is only put in a bunch of effort, time, t...

you know what definitely is pointless? Being concerned with the woes of low agency people in relation to a new open protocol that is rebuilding the entire web from the ground up.

You know what definitely doesn't work? Telling some who's merely looking for a simple solution to posting content to create an entire key management and publishing architecture for themselves.
