Here is the whiteboard diagram of my talk at Sovereign Engineering for #sec05 I am illustrating the simple block diagram architecture that I am using to develop #nostr #safebox . The key idea is that walled-garden concepts like apps, platforms, services etc, disappear in the face of more fundamental, infinitely composable building blocks of keys, code, compute, data, mints and relays. They support the fundamental essence of any social interaction which are ‘promises’ and ‘claims’ (updated from ‘commitments’ as shown on the whiteboard.

I also made the point, we are engineering ‘technical systems’ - they enable but ultimately ‘identity’, ‘reputation’ and even ‘money’ are concepts that exist independently outside of these technical systems.
