Show Notes

Eric and Sync are joined by Gzuuus, an early Nostr builder whose work connects several important threads in open markets… from Plebeian Market and the Gamma Markets specification to ContextVM and now CORDN. We begin with community updates, recent security incidents in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and a larger question: Is Nostr primarily a social network, or is its real potential as an open foundation for useful applications? From there, Gzuuus takes us through his journey building on Nostr and the lessons connecting each project. Topics include: Building freedom technology correctly from the be...

BUILD. SHIP. ZAP. CLENCH. REPEAT. Appreciate you guys. On NIP-99: marketplaces don’t really “pull” from each other… rather, we all “push” marketplace events to relays so anyone can view the open market however they’d like. Conduit is just one lens. Plebeian, Shopstr, Hisa and soon TakeMySats too (and more) are all their own perspectives on a shared pool of product listing & related Nostr events. Similar to how Damus/Nostur/Wisp/Primal etc are all lenses on the same shared constellation of Nostr social events. #hashtag

The Yata podcast is developing a nice intersection of many topics I love all in one place. Nostr, Bitcoin, Permaculture, and Value for Value. Definitely moved up into the "immediately listen" tier of the #40hpw. It feels like building friendships through a podcast which is cool. By the way, a heatpunk is someone who uses the heat from Bitcoin mining for productive means. Many simply heat their homes in cold weather but I am drying laundry, heating water, dehydrating food/medicine, growing plants ect. A very permaculture way to mine Bitcoin! #v4v #valuechain #permaculture

When cultural capital is subsidized away by fiat, the culture becomes perverted. There is no framework for common sense or reinforcement of societal norms when the decisions become the most convenient. Bitcoin fixes this but the perversion will continue to grow in the meantime. #40hpw

On this recording, we did a technique that I use at the homestead that I call "the swish" where I do passes around the homestead stopping to work on anything that catches my eye for short periods of time. After several passes, the process transforms from simply going back and forth over and over into each action completing several tasks at once. We drill into permaculture, capital, and community by swishing around them over and over throughout the discussion. Thanks for inviting me into the bowl!

The interoperability that Nostr affords will allow for so many cool ways to curate and discover content. All it takes right now is a little game and a few clients implementing features to show things are working. Even if it's just a handful of users.
