Who the fuck am I and why am I here? I'm appreciative in the sense that I breath the air with all these other freedom warriors! Fuck the resistance and noise we are the rebellion and we want whats ours!

Here are some decentralised project ideas that could help ensure freedom and haven't been fully realised on Nostr or similar platforms yet: Privacy & Security • Decentralised VPN mesh network - A peer-to-peer VPN where users contribute bandwidth and routing capacity, eliminating centralised VPN providers • Anonymous whistleblowing platform - Secure, untraceable document leaking with built-in verification systems • Decentralised password manager - Cross-device password sync without trusting centralised services Communication & Media • Censorship-resistant video streaming - Live streaming platform that can't be taken down by any single authority • Decentralised podcast hosting - RSS-based system where creators maintain full control and monetisation options • Anonymous group chat with forward secrecy - Secure group messaging that doesn't rely on centralised servers Economic Freedom • Decentralised freelance marketplace - Direct peer-to-peer work contracts without platform fees or restrictions • Community-owned ISP networks - Mesh networking for internet access independent of corporate ISPs • Decentralised reputation systems - Trust networks that work across platforms without central authorities Knowledge & Education • Censorship-resistant encyclopedia - Wikipedia-style knowledge base that can't be controlled by any single entity • Decentralised academic publishing - Peer review and publishing system bypassing traditional academic gatekeepers • Anonymous educational content sharing - Secure distribution of educational materials in restrictive environments Digital Rights • Decentralised identity verification - Self-sovereign identity that doesn't rely on government or corporate systems • Distributed web hosting - Website hosting across peer networks, immune to takedown requests • Decentralised domain name system - Alternative to DNS that can't be censored or controlled

Samson Mow has expressed reservations about Nostr’s current design, particularly concerning its decentralization and scalability. He has suggested that without significant improvements, Nostr may face challenges as it grows.  🧠 Samson Mow’s Concerns About Nostr Samson Mow has highlighted potential risks associated with Nostr’s reliance on centralized relays. He argues that if the protocol doesn’t evolve to ensure every client can act as a relay, it might face centralization issues similar to those observed with Lightning Service Providers (LSPs). Mow emphasizes the importance of thinking adversarially and preparing for future challenges to maintain Nostr’s integrity and resilience.  “Either Nostr evolves to have every client being a relay, or it will fail.” “Relays make Nostr centralized.” “You need to make every client a relay first. Relays are a risk to the protocol.” He also noted that the absence of clear incentives for individuals to run relays could hinder Nostr’s growth and decentralization efforts.  🔍 Alternative Approaches In discussions about improving Nostr’s architecture, Mow has suggested incorporating peer-to-peer components from projects like Keet and Holepunch. These technologies aim to enhance privacy and decentralization by enabling direct communication between clients without relying on central servers.  “Use the core peer-to-peer components from Keet / Holepunch.”  Additionally, Mow has advocated for a thorough analysis of Nostr’s decentralization to identify potential vulnerabilities. He supported Peter Todd’s grant application to conduct such an analysis, emphasizing the need for “red teaming” to ensure the protocol’s robustness.  “I strongly encourage the @OpenSats board to reconsider Peter’s grant request. Nostr needs red teaming.” 🧭 Conclusion Samson Mow’s critiques of Nostr reflect a commitment to ensuring that decentralized platforms maintain their integrity as they scale. By advocating for peer-to-peer solutions and rigorous evaluations, Mow aims to address potential centralization risks and promote a more resilient decentralized ecosystem.
