end of the story. this screams the issue with centralized apps.
also, remember telegram isn’t e2ee by default, so if they’re active in a country, we can assume they’ve “established privacy balance with gov”

talking about kind 0's… thinking of nostr in a few years and millions of users sharing their stuff here, what are your thoughts on the risks of social exploitations of such open information? it's not a big deal today to build a social graph of nostr users, their connections, interests, political views, etc.
if one would like to target some group with fake news or propaganda, using nostr open information it's possible to identify the most active, influential hubs, etc. the more mainstream the use of nostr, the bigger opportunity in such actions.

playing around with ai eyetracking sim, i’ve put web @npub12vk…pugg and #twitter on a quick ux comparison 🔥
even with just sample data, primal is clearly ahead in content presentation (even though there’s a massive shoutout image on my twitter screen, primal scores 10% higher in content window attention!)
congrats @npub16c0…6nvr & co!
one area where primal could boost engagement is by giving the “say something” cta more attention. combining it with the “new note” btn, primal gets about 3% compared to twitter’s 9%. maybe here’s sth to engage more new nostriches to send notes. especially as, like someone mentioned here, “web is for content creation, mobile for consumption”

years ago, i looked into how facebook influences opinions for my psych master’s thesis. now, i’m curious to look under nostr’s hood with one question:
> how would you feel if you could no longer use nostr?
this product-market fit scoring question, developed by sean ellis, is a simple, powerful metric to assess product development over time. if successful, i will put the survey in a quarterly loop.
it’s not completely anonymous, as the survey asks for npubs (optional, but recommended). having public keys and survey responses will allow for in-depth statistical analysis to look for correlations between one’s activity, frequency of use, topics, and level of satisfaction. without that, the results would poorly reflect only where we are, without pointing to any promising directions or dead ends.
hopefully, the survey will provide clients, NIPs developers, and designers with useful, voluntary insights from users.
i’ll kick off the analysis with a minimum of 100 responses, but 500-1000 would be the sweet spot.
if you see the value, submit your response and spread the word.

thanks, i get what you mean about significance and changing the web.
i’m in that too. not just here - my company is pushing to transform the commercial real estate industry towards full information transparency. it’s a hard task, but that’s the fun part in the end.
ambitions should be high, but timing (is the market ready for my solution?) and strategy (start small, dominate, then expand) matter too. the result of these two factors is pragmatic tactics that let you keep moving forward, day by day, step by step.
about ads:
> selling stuff, and that also means ads
if it comes to that, i’ll just start my own client 🙃 and that freedom is exactly what i love about nostr!
but… i think we’re underestimating the potential impact of value-for-value. @npub1xts…kk5s created something incredible with zaps; you won’t find that anywhere else.
still looking with a fresh outsider's eye, i think vfv is a big opportunity that could lay the foundation for a new, humble, and healthy creator’s economy. in my mind, it’s an ads-free model (of course!) where clients can earn fees (like patreon, substack) and, instead of disrupting MY feed with THEIR paid content, they invest in new mechanisms to discover worthy things. and as i see these ideas are already popping up in discussions.

2024-08-17 22:14:29

- reply

i’ll start with my personal 4p that led me here:
persona:
i’m a startup founder (in the eu) with 10+ years in proptech. i had a bitcoin story years ago, similar to what @npub18am…p424 described once (“old discs turned into a multi-million dollar mirror”). i’ve always been into privacy and osint.
problem:
i never had instagram or facebook - it’s just not me. i like good conversations and interesting people. i tried twitter, but hated the ads (problem 1) and even more, (p2) the algorithms serving up the same quasi-influencer content (“ten ways to this…” and “what i’ve learned from…”).
this led to a third problem - every social media platform today is a selling tool. if not through ads, then through influencing. ads are annoying, but influencing feels fake, and i don’t want that in front of my face.
product:
that’s how i ended up on nostr, probably through some article on @npub1sg6…f63m involvement. i read the paper, explored tons of websites (com, org, band, watch, you name it), and found @primal available on iOS. here i am.
nostr promise:
i see no ads and no influencers.
value-for-value and full control are the promises that hooked me.
if ads show up in my feed, i can switch clients. if i encounter annoying influencers, i can mute them.
last but not least—
i’m still short here, but i already like you guys. i enjoy reading your notes, discussions, memes. you’re a bunch of smart people, and that’s a promise hard to deliver on the web 💜
pv 🤙

2024-08-17 21:42:30

- reply

i’d flip the question—it’s not about who we compete with, but who we’re delivering value to. once that’s clear, knowing the competition becomes relevant.
there’s a simple 4P framework for early startups struggling to find product-market fit: persona, problem, promise, product.
the product must deliver the promise that solves the problem for your persona.
if anyone wants to dive deeper into nostr marketing, i’m happy to help—got a good bit of marketing/startup/tech experience 🤙

2024-08-17 21:16:11

if micro-decentralization is about relays, clients, etc., maybe there’s a macro view centered on the protocols themselves? growth matters as PoC, but maybe each protocol - nostr, bluesky, or others - will end up building its own village of like-minded people?

i’ve tried that a few times, always betting on the person (because of the skills…), but it ends the same way every time - you either lose or have to fire them, then find someone else. plus, you’re left fixing the culture and admitting to your team that you messed up.
if i’m not sure, i prefer a one-week trial with my team, then i ask for their take. it’s a more community-focused approach, imo.

it’s hard to ban something you can’t touch, confiscate, or lock in a deposit. gold, alcohol, drugs, and gambling (even online) involve some physicality and centralization. bitcoin is different—more of a “catch me if you can” style.

domains shouldn’t function as empty value assets, but as ‘utility tokens,’ a digital equivalent of real estate. it’s fuckin wrong to buy them just to keep them unused.

2024-08-12 11:23:08

reading two books at the moment: “civilized to death” and “the deficit myth.”
both share some common, disturbing notions on civ, taxes, and poverty.
“since 1977, the Fed has operated under a dual mandate from Congress, that directs the Fed to pursue max employment and stable prices. basically, Congress put the Fed in charge of jobs and inflation (…) The mandate is predicated on the belief that there’s delicate balance between too much employment and too little. it also assumes that the Fed has the ability to move the economy to its sweet spot, where just the ‘right’ number of ppl are kept on the sidelines, wanting to work but trapped in unemployment for the sake of keeping prices in check. (…) to put it crudely, the Fed uses unemployed human beings as its primary weapon against inflation.” ~ the deficit myth
“poverty is a most necessary ingredient in society (…). it’s a source of wealth, since without poverty, there could be no labor.” ~ civilized to death
“the gov doesn’t want dollars, it wants to provision itself. the tax isn’t there to raise money. it’s there to get people working and producing things for the gov.” ~ tdm
“taxes are there to create a demand for gov currency.” ~ tdm

I've watched cre/proptech for 15 years, and after decades of being almost entirely analog (phone, paper, and spreadsheets), something is changing.
The covid/office crisis was a huge lesson that even this billion-dollar industry can’t maintain the status quo.
The trick with real estate is that we build for decades, while the world changes overnight. real estate can’t adapt as fast as tech requires.
CRE 3.0 is a concept of the industry’s progress, making it robust to the world’s pace.
Transparency is the key - and that’s exactly where CRE should learn from bitcoin, #nostr, and similar innovations.

2024-07-31 23:09:28

I was never a bitcoiner. I’m not a developer. I’m not an open source creator, more a consumer.
I’m a proptech founder solving fragmented information in commercial real estate. My goal is to unlock data and create a more transparent industry where ppl compete based on skill and exp, not just what they know. This isn’t such a big issue in the US, but it’s a huge progress decelerator in Europe.
A few years ago, I read “Token Economy” by Shermin Voshmgir and drafted an intro concept for a real estate information protocol.
Then, a few weeks ago, I discovered #Nostr, and I haven’t been this excited in a long time. The concept, even if not adapted directly, is literally an instruction for creating decentralized information-sharing protocols.
And that is something that must change the status quo.
Yesterday - finance, social media - today, information and business - tomorrow.

1 discussion, 4 experts, 7 key takeaways on CRE data transparency. Fresh insights from last week's ERES panel:
#1
Transparency builds trust, supporting long-term market stability. As one panelist said, "CRE is a relationship business. Improving confidence among participants benefits the entire system."
#2
Utility function - data to be transparent (accessible) must be digital, opening new opportunities for tech-based performance improvement across all levels.
#3
It reduces risk and improves liquidity - easy access to relevant information speeds up better decisions.
#4
Transparency can make business a positive-sum game, potentially increasing market growth through more win-win situations.
These insights are remarkable, but panelists Piotr Trzciński, Paweł Toński, Krzysztof Sakierski, and Prof. Björn-Martin Kurzrock agreed that significant challenges remain, and they're not easily overcome.
#5
Data quality is king. Without it, everything falls apart - there's no trust, no reduced risk, and no value added. As one speaker said, "Garbage in - garbage out.”
#6
Someone else said, "Business is just a bunch of people." That's very true, and that's why for data transparency to exist, market participants must see its benefits and agree to co-create this vision of the market. This condition is a must, whether we have the best quality data or not.
"Enthusiasm is necessary for any great change to take place."
Final challenge and opportunity:
#7
"Life is a game,
real estate is a game.
This shouldn't change."
Radical transparency often worries market participants about losing their edge or the market becoming boring. This is partly true - high value extraction and big bets must remain, especially for commercial real estate developers.
However, protecting the status quo is always short-term, and change brings huge opportunities for early adopters and pioneers.
I see transparency as the future bridge between real estate and technology.

Automation is the solution that will free up the most valuable asset we have - our brains. There's only one condition for this to happen - we can no longer be afraid that transparency and technology are a threat to the industry.
Information will no longer be an advantage.
Skills and teams will determine who wins.
This is a huge opportunity for the industry, and young people, in particular, should push their organizations to transform. The next generation of professionals won't know what Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V is.

#nostr feels like early twitter - no ads, no politics, just a bunch of friendly ppl and their thoughts.
