Nostr microapp idea: You authorize the app the right to post on your behalf. when you see a post or a comment on Twitter that you like, you comment under it the words "Nostr this" and the post or comment above it gets posted in your Nostr account. Maybe it says "From Twitter" and has the username of who said the post, the username of who "Nostr'd" the post, and perhaps a direct link to the post.
Could make one for anything. Reddit, blah blah.
Oh, its how i imagine Twetch working (based on seeing people i disagree with write "Twetch dat", the world's ugliest sounding word, for the world's most evil community.
I feel like a cool thing for Highlighter would be podcast transcripts. One can post quotes are still relevant from older episodes. Hopefully we get the prism thing going, and...
-part goes to the person making the post,
-part goes to the pleb that took it upon himself to transcribe the podcast
-part goes to the podcast (of course) but for this section, perhaps you can tap into the shows podcast 2.0 split, so that everyone associated with making the show gets their cut.

Mary Lou Lord: Sugar Sugar (with Semisonic) (1995)
Mary, a musician who was known in the Northwest at the time as someone who people would rather Kurt was still dating, (who later dated Elliott Smith) did a great job with this one. Instrumentation is that 90's Breeders-esque, chilllllll'd out punk, but the vocals during the chorus tickle the ears in a super bubble gum way.
In the video, usually you see Mary, Sometimes you see DREW BARRYMORE. The song was part of a compilation called Saturday Morning Cartoons:Greatest Hits which had a promotional music video thing hosted by Drew. This was filmed, as the song was recorded in the year of our lord, 1995.

(I AM JUST KIDDING!)
But any Mycologists out there know what they are?
More "normie" apps and services should try linking nostr accounts. To do this, your app or service doesn't have to use nostr as a communication protocol in any way, but it can tap into a really cool thing about nostr, persistent, cryptograpically provable identities.
Pretty Cool! qr-ai.netlify.app
So (*i think* the current thing is) Damus users will still be able to get zapped on Damus to their profile pages, but not the individual posts.
Of course, if the sender is using another client... then probably they still can zap a post of a Damus user and it will still go right to their wallet, but i guess they won't be able to see it on Damus. Weird.
Primal or Snort are really both nice ux's for web clients, if the Apple crowd wants to tip posts like the good old days.
On a scale of one to super hard, how hard would it be to change Damus into a web client?
Iris is both an Android app and a web client, while Plebstr is an Android app, with web client access "Coming Soon" according to their official site.
So, I am presuming, they are changing their Android app client into a web browser-based client.
(However, I may be ENTIRELY wrong, and the more accurate description might be "REBUILDING their client (from scratch) as a web browser-based client.")
While Coinbase has been claiming that by the SEC allowing them to go public, this was also giving them the go-ahead to operate, and that what they were selling was not securities, the statement clearly says that the SEC has "not approved or disapproved these securities". What's more, "any representation otherwise is a criminal offense."
I made a thing where I took the Apple vision and put it on Thom Yorke, and then used a frame from the "No Suprises" video, where he is depressed, stuck in a pod filling with water, and put it where the water is just over his eyes.
Looks like a snorkel mask full of water tho, lol
Would love when we see on Start 9 or Umbrel, people running their own Bitcoin nodes, Nostr relays, and maybe...
Open-source self-hosted AI.
A network of computers, where you can both serve your own AI needs and also sell computation to others, in exchange for sats.

Bitcoin Builders • Why Bitcoiners Are So Interested In Nostr with Andi Pitt • Listen on Fountain
For the last few months, Bitcoiners have been one of the most active communities on Nostr, a new decentralized protocol that can be used to build a...
The show is a side project from 'The Breakdown's' NLW. His show was on the Coindesk podcast feed for a long time, so he has a VERY mainstream crypto audience. Because of this, this episode is likely the most exposure his listeners have had to Nostr yet, so happy to see this. NLW interviews Andi Pitt.
Bitcoin fees are too hig... uh... low!
Yes. Bitcoin fees are too low!
It will never be able to sustain a robust security budget!
Why are Bitcoin's fees ALWAYS SO LOW?!
Texas anti-mining bill defeated (the one that would discriminate against allowing demand response programs.)
Pretty big. Was worried it was going to be used as precedent for DAME tax (30% tax on energy for mining. ) , because it's an example of a law where you can discriminate on Bitcoin because of energy usage.
Can we make a connected network of home gpu AI "nodes." You run AI for your own needs or you can "rent" compute on the network from others for Lightning. Maybe somehow use Nostr for this?
Okay. A thing that's been on my mind when comparing fedimint and Liquid, (besides the auditability problem) is distribution of custodians. When the Fedi guys talk, they make it sound like a Fedimint's 'guardians' will be trusted members of a community, so likely all in one jurisdiction (and vulnerable to nation state attacks/pressure). They COULD be distributed across different countries, but trust doesn't scale distance-wise well. You could substitute reputation and skin-in-the-game for trust, and then you recreate Liquid's federation.
So auditability? Can't be as good as Liquid.
Resistance to nation-states?
Best case scenario? It's AS good as Liquid.
Most fedimints will probably be worse, all keys in one jurisdiction.
(Of course the near perfect privacy of ecash is FAR superior to Confidential Transactions which only hide amount and asset type.)
Because of this, I will definitely be using ecash due to it being the easiest way to privately use Bitcoin.
Ledger should have released their new service as a new piece of hardware, this way, people wouldn't have known that just through an online update could the "secure element" be modified so that the private keys could leave the device, albeit in three (encrypted) pieces.

One of my favorite songs back in High School. Found it on a music website called Epitonic that had free (legal, i think) Indie Rock mp3s for download. Feel like it was a tiny period of time AFTER Napster shut down (it's illegal version) and BEFORE iTunes started selling music.
Great balance of synths and real instruments, very different from New Order though (another one of my favorites, something more 'rock' about this one.
