It's not for end users to interact.

TLDR; Every reputable Nostr pubkey (+100K) receives 100 free @npub1kpt9...nhmz credits every day. In your app, users sign job requests with their own key and send them to our relay. It's that simple! No need to manage secrets, no need for backends. View quoted note →

I see some similarities with work we did using Neo4j to track follows/unfollows for push notifications. Since the graph was already there, we added a PageRank API too: 🔗 https://followers.nos.social/api/v1/trusted/89ef92b9ebe6dc1e4ea398f6477f227e95429627b0a33dc89b640e137b256be5 It’s only HTTP for now, but I’m considering exposing it on Nostr with the same custom kinds you use for PageRank data 🤔 Code:

yes, it's similar. I've looked into neo4j and memgraph and I wasn't happy with the performance, so I've built my own graph database on top of Redis. The result is that, instead of computing Pagerank every hour, storing the values and reading them, I can compute Pagerank every time a new follow list has been published. So it's a dynamic Pagerank based on monte Carlo. Also, it allows for personalized pagerank.

This is a clever approach, build trust on trust

Since this announcement, lots more people have been using @npub1kpt9...nhmz. The best part is that I don't even know who they are, I just see the number of requests going up. View quoted note →
