Who’s gonna build a carpool-over-Nostr app? Would be great if there was a way to 1. Advertise your route 2. React to somebody’s route and request a pickup and drop off for a small #bitcoin payment 😊 Source:

The Shirky Principle: Institutions Try to Preserve the Problem to Which They Are the Solution – Effectiviology

PickupPal.com is… a carpooling site designed to coordinate drivers and riders planning to travel along the same route. In May 2008 the Ontario-based bus company Trentway-Wagar… petitioned the Ontario Highway Transport Board (OHTB) to shut PickupPal down on the grounds that, by helping coordinate drivers and riders, it worked too well to be a carpool. Trentway-Wagar invoked Section 11 of the Ontario Public Vehicles Act, which stipulated that carpooling could happen only between home and work (rather than, say, school or hospital.) It had to happen within municipal lines. It had to involve the same driver each day. And gas or travel expense could be reimbursed no more frequently than weekly. Trentway-Wagar was arguing that because carpooling used to be inconvenient, it should always be inconvenient, and if that inconvenience disappeared, then it should be reinserted by legal fiat.

Just tried to demo the @primal app to a friend. I couldn’t zap the first ~15 posts or so. Can we make the UX so that the zal sign is hidden when a wallet is not set up on the receiver end?

What the actual duck is wrong with people? I just bought a Dockers pants, basically new (very slightly worn, and washed, I could tell by the strong smell of laundry soap) on Selpy, or maybe on Vinted, I alsays confuse the two. Anyways, why would you sell a perfect pants for like $5?? I can't believe it's coming from dead people and those who list/gained weight 🤔

You do realize that the ultimate rugpull would be for the .CASH domain managers to revoke access to this (and other) domains? look at the gay.af domain that was revoked last week. It happens. We need DHT or TOR fallbacks. 🤔 View quoted note →

So the #Nostr client @primal has a built in lightning wallet that is powered by @strike ? I did not know this before I heard it on RHR #291. Did you?

why has nobody build email-over-Nostr yet ? hear me out. what if you had a transportable, encrypted and fully functional email adres via a nostr-first email provider that allowed you to circumvent blockades? 🤔 #buildstr

Yes @fountain, when #Nostr connect? View quoted note →

Some years ago Voltage became big by offering cheap one-click solutions for starting and running your own Lightning node. All payable via bitcoin. Who will step up this game and make a one-click solution to run your own #nostr relay? Bonus points if said relay also does a (bit of) hosting the content that you post. 🤔

How intertwined are @Blockstream and @bitfinex ? I just listened to a Blockstream Talk podcast episode. The host works for Bitfinex , apparently 🤔
