does anyone have experience with nip-29 groups? are there relays that implement the standard, does it seem like a useful abstraction for keeping up with a group?

is anyone working on nostr native podcasts? I imagine an NPUB being the root of of a feed. with articles/nip-23 notes being the equivalent of "items" in a standard RSS feed.
the "eclosure" part of the feed, which contains the mimetype and URL of the audio file. I can see this being a reference to a file metadata note, kind 1063, with a URL and mimetype encoded in tags there. but I can also imagine a specific mp3 url tag, `mp3`, or something like that. the idea for not just including the link in the body of the article is so that a nostr-only podcast app could parse the audio file link out of the note without having to grok the body of the article.
any thoughts out there?
#asknostr
I'm doing some work on #nip-23 content, and am looking for a way to view articles published to a local relay, but not just the raw text, something that will render the markdown into html.
I will pay 2500 sats to someone with the first suggestion that solves my problem for an app that runs locally on linux and renders articles.
the conjunction of round, decimal numbers in the neighborhood of $1.00 / 1000 sats will be a nice mental onboarding opportunity for sat-native reckoning going forward

this is the first one. can people not in the community read it?
thinking a lot about optionality. it's a classic topic of bitcoiners, and with good reason. Taleb has spilled much ink on the subject, and in a productive way. it's a shame he acquired an allergic reaction to bitcoin.
bitcoin is the classic asymmetric, huge upside, little downside, option of them all. but what else is out there?
I would assert that owning and training in the use of firearms is a hugely beneficial asymmetric option. that's the whole "better to have it and not need it, than to need it an not have it" thing.
what else is out there that belongs in this category of asymmetric options?
the information bandwidth of human action is estimated to be 10 bits / s
the information bandwidth of human senses is estimated to be 10^9 bits / s
the difference between the two is fascinating to think about. lots of input, small, highly refined output. it's the context provided by the brain that allows 10 bits to encode seemingly simple concepts like "that's a dog". similarly, having shared first person experiences with other people builds that context and allows one to leverage more into fewer bits.
