nostr I’ve been thinking about this a lot… The combination of Bitcoin/Cashu/Nostr enables the emergence of a global deposit and transfer mechanism that is independent of any existing financial system. That is what I am trying to build with #nostr #safebox. In studying the systems that existed before… Tim Bouma Dec 31, 2024, 12:22 PM
nostr The things you can do on the network, even with a crappy #nostr client.… Tim Bouma Dec 30, 2024, 1:51 PM
nostr This is why I am not so worried about the low number of devs working on #nostr. It’s also why I am not worried about well-funded VCs taking over the protocol. So long as we have mission-driven individuals supported appropriately, we’ll be ok. ——-++ Price's Tim Bouma Dec 30, 2024, 12:20 PM
nostr The massive democratization of AI requires the massive decentralization of identity. Only #nostr can do this.… Tim Bouma Dec 24, 2024, 2:11 PM
nostr Simplicity scales much faster and more sustainably than complexity. That’s why I ❤️ #nostr… Tim Bouma Dec 22, 2024, 10:45 AM
bitcoin With a final settlement network, there is no such thing as dispute settlement. I see the banks are now making a big deal about dispute settlement being a core feature. Be warned, this is a capture strategy! We're on the frontier, folks! Act accordingly. #bitcoin #nostr… Tim Bouma Dec 19, 2024, 3:16 PM
nostr Imagine if Microsoft bundled a #nostr client into Windows? The EU would find a regulation that they were violating.… Tim Bouma Dec 19, 2024, 1:44 PM
nostr The shitcoinery folk are starting to get the idea that you can send and receive funds without necessarily having a wallet. Unfortunately (fortunately, for us), this capability is tied to bespoke tokens. In the case of #nostr, it can be done having a npub, and a NIP-60 wallet accepting… Tim Bouma Dec 17, 2024, 3:09 PM
nostr The two digital power structures that can be effectively dismantled with #nostr: corporate platforms and certificate authorities.… Tim Bouma Dec 16, 2024, 11:53 AM
nostr This might sound counterintuitive - since #nostr is a relatively open protocol, it’s better to focus one building a singular capability that the whole network can use, rather than adding on ‘features’ which is typical of a walled-garden approach. Embrace the unix philosophy of build one thing and build… Tim Bouma Dec 14, 2024, 12:35 PM
nostr Really cool to see an artist like @isolabell.art 🎨 thrive on #nostr. I purchased a piece and recommend supporting artists and artisans who are making their trade on #nostr.… Tim Bouma Dec 5, 2024, 10:16 AM
nostr Watching how BlueSky seems to be taking off, and yes, it will likely run into the same issue as Twitter, I am seeing #nostr not as a direct competitor but rather as an independent publishing and payment protocol. The ability to create and receive payments without permission is nostr’s… Tim Bouma Nov 29, 2024, 6:29 PM
