was a good and much needed idea for bootstrapping nostr and contact discovery but had a few things wrong with it: - centralized - required maintenance, data, backups, processing - spof - has built-in single point of failure, me as the bottleneck when I get distracted by life it stopped being useful - raw data ≠ useful data - even though it was a good attempt to help people connect their online identity together, that data is useless unless it can be utilized by apps and users in a helpful way. **Next Steps** As pondered and discussed with nostr devs and users many times, nostr.directory can have and serve connection and identity data of each user, next much needed step is an actually usable, easy to understand “reputation score” to help nostr clients and microapps surface relevant content and weed out spam. Important tenants of such a system will be: - Opt-in: If a users does NOT want that “for you” page they don’t have to see it and use it. - High Availability: once a user wants to curate their microapp using WoT data, it should be trivial for apps to implement it. - Nostr Native: Completely open-source and self-contained repo including all processing, backups + nostr relay serving available data. - Context Based Scores: Having a 0-100 reputation score is nice and clean but it’s also important to know each separate field of expertise can come with a “field specific score” which is to say, I may value npubx’s views on bitcoin related things but not on latest diet trends. For this I’ll do some research to existing methods and put an early version out there and try to integrate it into existing apps maybe even write a few demo apps that utilize it. Will go from there.

Lately I've happily heard more chatter on #nostr about "Web of Trust." In case anyone is unaware, a Web of Trust is essentially a reputation score....

ok, I'm back so what did I miss?

it's insane that humans noticed the worldwide income gap, internalized it and is now actively fixing it through capitalism and trade. Not saying it's conscious but it's something.

been trying to fix twitter follower list on nostr.directory but twitter api is such a shitshow looks like I might need $42000/month api access for it. https://twittercommunity.com/t/get-2-users-id-following-is-now-broken/197526/11

I'll be in Miami and we're doing a meetup. Looking forward to meet nostr peeps that can make it! Nostr Meetup @ Bitcoin Miami // Thursday May 18th @ 6pm EST — lu.ma/y7supnu4

Just zapped myself. Did it break nostr?

What is this? A zap button on amethyst? Yes!
