Last weekend, I was lucky enough to visit @Be The Change: Abundance, Service, Play @Purple Painter @LMK The homestead they are building is incredible, and it was so exciting to see the gardens and projects they are working on! I was also able to attend #nostrnights at @Bitcoin Park where I met awesome people doing awesome things on nostr. Attached below is my interview with @Purple Painter and @LMK

@InterstellarBountyHunter Interview! I really enjoyed this conversation.

Beejay interview!! More to come with time. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me!

I want to interview and learn from so many people on nostr. The lifestyles (homesteading, natural, health focused) and mindsets are well aligned with the life I want to live. I want to befriend you people and document it. I plan to reach out to so many of you in the near future and I hope to connect with, learn from, develop a greater community with y’all. Heart emoji

What does frequency, resonance, vibes mean to you?

What are your thoughts on the pyramids?

I got accepted to a PhD program at my dream school! I am pleased to feel a sense of relief about securing a medium-term future for myself. But still doubtful about whether it will be the best path. I tend to hold a pretty negative view about the ability of colleges to truly educate a person. It’s good news though! We will see what happens, and I know what is good will come!

Hey all, I’m excited to share something I’m working on. It is a scientific research journal built on nostr. I think nostr is the perfect architecture to build something that does research publishing better than what is the standard right now. To name a few key things I envision with this project: 1. Research accessible by anyone. Scientific knowledge should not be restricted to a select few. This is not to say that there isn’t value in expertise, but to say that there is also value in diversity of thought that can only come from those who were not educated in the same system as many experts. 2. Comments can be left to explain, criticize, suggest research ideas to a specific part of a paper using highlights. 3. Research moves faster because it is cheaper and easier to publish, and becuase more people can interact with it. I’ve had this project in mind for quite a while, practically since I first learned about nostr. I don’t know how to code though. So this project is my first real foray into vibe coding. That being said, this project barely works when I use it, and likely won’t work when you try it. Further, it is currently a very limited version of what I believe a research journal built on nostr can be. I am posting this, in part, as a bookmark. I have other priorities right now and will not continue working on this project at least until January. I do plan to return to it and make it something great. I really do believe in it. I hope to continue building and sharing my vision for this, and I hope to talk more with you all about it. I know many of you have some serious developer/nostr wisdom that I want to make use of. I’ve built a client that you can access here:

Nostr Research Journal

A decentralized research journal on the Nostr protocol with Lightning payments

It currently has a lot of papers I published while building and testing different features. Please excuse that mess. I also built an associated relay: wss://nostr-research-relay.duckdns.org

Turns out pursuing your dreams is gratifying

Called in sick to work this morning and made the 7 hour haul to Mobile, Alabama for @NOSTRBAMA 2025. Met weirdos. Talked more freely than I’ve managed to in a while. Connected. I’m thankful to have attended and glad I told myself to go do the crazy thing.

This seems like a good opportunity to do an #introductions since I never did a proper nostr introduction so here I am. I’m Carson and I joined nostr about 2 years ago when I saw Jack Dorsey tweet his npub. As I learned about nostr, I got excited because it actually fixes the issue of censorship, and serves as a protocol engineered for free speech. I'd been mostly off social media for a few years (more because It's easy to waste time on and I’m worried about how it’ll affect my brain down the line). Nostr introduced me to bitcoin, and though I haven’t read as deep as I’d like into it yet, it seems to be pretty cool. I am in my senior year of college. I will be graduating with a BS in Materials Science and Engineering in a few short months. I chose this path because of the interest in nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, more specifically) I developed in high school. While in school, I got a job working in a nanomaterials research lab, where I became associate manager (until I quit today!). Through working in research for nearly four years and reading research for five years, I have come to think research and research publishing could benefit from change. It is in my goals this year to learn to code and build what I see as the solution to the issues with research, and share that here with y’all. One of my main goals at the moment is to find a job for when I graduate. I’m really interested in moving to the Austin or Houston areas. However, I recognize that I am at the mercy of life and the opportunities I encounter. I am entrepreneurial, fast learning, and motivated to work hard, given the right environment. I love talking to and learning from people, biking, reading, wristwatches, cars and motorcycles (and fixing them). There’s lots more to me that I’ll try to share over time. I haven't engaged a ton with the community on here, but I've followed some of y’all for a long time, and am happy to be a witness to the awesomeness here. Here’s to getting to know you all better and getting more involved this year! View quoted note →
