One idea I've had for awhile but couldn't thinking a good implementation is a solution to deliveries. I was reminded of this idea based on yesterday's review or @Shadrach's AtoB service. A problem that was discussed on @Plebchain Radio 🎙️ is giving your address to a total stranger. This is a very real concern, not just for this service, but any service for delivery. What if there was a network of "AnonBoxes" (NymBoxes, NostrBoxes, Nosboxes, Boxstrs; whatever you wanna call it) where local #plebs accept packages at their home or business. There are a lot of issues to consider, but I think it could be 100% doable. You go to a site, put in a zip or geohash, see a list of registered "boxes". You pay a small fee. The real address is shown and you give your npub and maybe the name it will be delivered under. You order what you need to. Put in the delivery address. Once delivered, you pick up the package and sign for the delivery with your nsec. The funds are then released to the box holder. View quoted note →

For those out there who #buildnostr, do you think it would be a net positive to have some kind of platform available for people who can't code (me) but have great ideas on how to build the #secondrealm with #nostr to post really cool concepts that devs can be inspired by? I ask because I have quite a few ideas for services that could serve the #paralleleconomy that I just don't have the chops to build. I'd love to have a place where I could toss the idea out there and let the #cypherpunk #nostriches have a field day. It could even be incentive based where people can throw some sats at the project to incentivise a dev or dev team to grab it. For example, a #pleb has an idea for an app that would solve problem x. They post it in this repository. Other #plebs see it. They throw some #sats at the ideas they like or want to see. Devs can see projects and take them on. Upon completion, they get the sats. Just an idea. An idea which would be great to post in said repository. Am I makin' sense?

Today's project(s) is/are a little different. Everyday I go into @Zapstore and just look at the recents section to see what is new or newly updated. Sometimes I find a real peach 🍑, or in this case a pear 🍐. These apps are a collection from @PeerLoom LLC. Their "pear suite" of apps are great alternatives to their fiat counterparts. Their published apps include: PearCircle, PearCal, and PearGuard. PearCircle is one that I personally like as I was trying to find just this type of solution. PearCircle is the #sovereign, #P2P alternative to Live360. Keep track of the people within your circles without a centralized server peeking their eyes on all your activity. PearCircle allows you to add people to your circle and see where they are. Spouse, kids, your uncle who gets drunk and wanders; add them to your circle. https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qq8xxmmd9ecx2ctjvd5hycmvv5q3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fw0fshqum5daex2tnyv4mqygxhpdezkemk3jl3uwk8wl3pq7aug3afw6yfnd2gha557udz566jlqpsgqqq0c9sx5p4ma PeerGuard is atool that allows you to put parental controls on your child's phone. Manage screen time and app access privately from your device. No middleman. https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqxkxmmd9ecx2ctjva6kzunyqyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtn6v9c8xar0wfjjuer9wcpzp4ctwg4kwa5vhu0r43mhugg8h0zy02tk3zvm2j9ld98hrg4xk5hcqvzqqqr7pv0hmg0a Finally, PeerCal. Share events with other people just like you would Google calendar or any another shitty big tech calendar app. All your data stays on your device. https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qq9kxmmd9ecx2ctjvdskcqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh85ctswd6x7un99ejx2aszyrtsku3tvamge0c78trh0css0w7yg75hdzyek4yt7620wx32ddf0sqcyqqq8uzce52kxk Just a few more solutions to make you a more sovereign #pleb. Stay tuned for more highlights. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

I also would like to hear what people think on this. View quoted note →

I'm feeling really #bullish today. On everything. #Bitcoin, #nostr; the whole bit. I'm really thinking of starting a #meetup in my area. The #secondrealm is sparse here. It could use some #sovereignty.

I forgot to mention the developer of this great project: @Shadrach View quoted note →

Still trippin' on this. This is gonna be my "What's in the box!" Moment for quite some time. View quoted note → View quoted note →

Today'shighlight is going to be for #Catallax. Catallax is a sovereign, decentralized solution to the gig econony. Do what you love, do what your good at. Get paid. No permission from anybody. Simply connect with people looking for work to be done and negotiate with them. Keep the financual transaction secure and honest with third party arbitraters. Wrap all that in a reputation system, and you have a counter econony. Brulliant work from @vinney...axkl. The project is still in development, but I think it's a great step in the right direction.

Catallax - A Protocol for Pseudonymous Contract Work Economies

Catallax is an open protocol that enables pseudonymous contract work economies. It runs over Nostr, Bitcoin and Cashu ecash for censorship-resistan...

I have some down time at the fiat mine. I can't stop thinking to myself.... What the fuck happened to those 50k #sats? Where did I even get that address? Am I losing my mind? I feel like I'm in a weird version of Shutter Island.

#GM #nostr I learned a valuable lesson last night. One that I already knew, but got complacent. I sent some sats out to my lightning wallet and my HODL wallet. Well, I didn't double check the addresses before I hit send. . . Big mistake. There are 50k sats just sitting in some address and I have no idea what that address is. Luckily it wasn't my life savings or some ridiculous amount; it still stings, though. You live and you learn. Que será, será.

Another set of apps I would like to highlight from those that @buildnostr are Ridestr and Drivestr developed by @VariableFate. Great set of apps in the #paralleleconomy. Helping #plebs get from point A to point B without centralized servers or surveillance. Bravo! https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqgxxmmd9ej8y6tkv4ehgu3wv9c8qqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh85ctswd6x7un99ejx2aszyqxr7zlpn7lc78z64tz2059k8k3g4g3uy67xq97fezga958weed7uqcyqqq8uzc3pc0vs https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqgkxmmd9eexjer9wd68ytnjd9jx2usprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9uju7npwpehgmmjv5hxgetkqgsqc0ctux0mlrcut24vff7skc769z4z8sntccqhe8yfr5ksam89hmsrqsqqqlstntazxt

When I first found #nostr a couple of years ago, I thought it was just a Twitter alternative. It wasn't until I got back into it recently and started paying attention to people that #buildnostr that I realized how revolutionary it is. After listening to a few episodes of @Plebchain Radio 🎙️, I went down the rabbit hole of the possibilities of the protocol. With all that being said, I love when I stumble upon a project that solves a fiat problem with a sovereign solution. And, when I find those projects, I want so bad for them to be full of #plebs from all over. So, here is a great project that should not be overlooked. AtoBitcoin: a delivery service by plebs for plebs. https://app.atobitcoin.io/

Also me. I'm glad it's not just a me problem. View quoted note →
