One may have all the freedom in the world but still be mind's slave

The Ark protocol looks interesting. I need to dive deeper. At a high level, what are the tradeoffs? Can it make Liquid obsolete? #asknostr

I have been lurking on Twitter a little bit this morning. Many more people on there, higher probability and incentive for dumb and provocative takes. Perfect food for the algo. GM!

The only thing that will make Nostr materially grow are companies with an economic incentive to bring new users

If you wanted to start up a *business* with good growth potential in the freedom tech space, boostrapped or investor funded... what would that be and why? #asknostr

Care for privacy is interesting as it simultaneously projects strength (sovereignty, protection) and weakness (hiding, paranoia, overthinking)

Fantastic piece. Could not agree more. > When the self-sovereign option spooks users while the centralized option feels safe, we haven’t built freedom tech. We’ve built a hobby for risk-tolerant technical elites. > The best protocol in the world accomplishes nothing if nobody uses it. We have to win commercially to win ideologically. > Having better technology that nobody uses doesn’t fix anything. > We need the collective commitment to building freedom tech that wins on merit, not martyrdom. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp3ld5es2d0yzwpfsaq455acj4n029ccaczjklrwf2kkqp8hajlyxqqswh403twhx3fm4ekfhqljpqsfw8xwsy55s25z89kvlaqlq69mezjg4ex8qa

A candid update on the new nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 app: The entire thing was rewritten from scratch to address various issues, this time with a sound architecture. On this new foundation, I was able to develop some very requested features which are basically finished. Last week I was ready to announce an alpha version for testers, excited as this would start the culmination of months of work. Then, I detected an anomaly during relay reconnections. Turns out the websocket pool implementation had several major flaws, in short, it was a mess. So the LLM agent and I decided to rewrite it. Unfortunately I am still having trouble, as it can't really figure this stuff out and my motivation is to debug websocket connections is at an all-time low. Between my own internal pressure and constant user demands pulling me in all directions, I need to balance things not to approach burnout territory. Running a project like Zapstore is not for a solo developer, much less for me at a point where low-level coding literally feels like a waste of life. That said, I'm incredibly bullish on Zapstore. With big tech closing it claws, the world needs an open bitcoin-based app marketplace more than ever. Two options moving forward: finish frying my brain on an isolated downspiral, or move toward a place that rekindles my motivation: making Zapstore grow. I will surely find a team and a way to sustain it long term. While time is our scarcest asset, I know this can't happen overnight. But eyes on the prize. Thank you for your attention to this matter, if you'll excuse me I now have some websocket logic to take care of.
