Wifey (Medicaid social worker saving one low-income patient at a time) being philosophical: Ask me an existential question. My ass: are you making money? Wifey: Me: Wifey: asshole… Vitor Pamplona Nov 17, 2024, 3:27 PM
Clients on nostr should be very easy to make. If you are spending too much time (weeks), you are probably doing it wrong.… Vitor Pamplona Nov 17, 2024, 1:00 PM
I consider the obesity epidemic a failure of free markets to offer healthy food without government oversight and a failure of individual freedom to choose better foods for themselves. Yes, I know it's not completely free market and choosing healthy is not possible sometimes, but the point stands. Vitor Pamplona Nov 16, 2024, 6:04 PM
Cloning apps? Easy. Building something truly new on Nostr? That's the hard part. We need to 100x the number of devs and designers to make it happen. Most projects will flop. Most designs will miss. Only a rare few will shine. Winning is a numbers game.… Vitor Pamplona Nov 16, 2024, 2:53 PM
Getting more convinced that onboarding someone into Nostr can follow two paths: Onboard into a Client, not into Nostr. You "sell" a specific client and don't even use the word Nostr.

Had big plans to crush code today, but @franzap & @elsat hijacked me into a 3hr call to discuss user onboarding. Result? 1 new client to build, 3 new NIPs to spec, and 0 lines of code written. Productivity? 🤷♂️… Vitor Pamplona Nov 15, 2024, 9:15 PM
Feed algorithms on Nostr should not only be signed, open source and free to choose, but those running those algorithms must provide cryptographic proofs they are running them without any changes. Trustless feeds for the win.… Vitor Pamplona Nov 15, 2024, 4:04 PM
Nostr is verifiable data. Sign code into Nostr events, and you get Verifiable Code. But here’s the problem: you still have to trust the environment running that Verifiable Code. If you rely on a third-party machine, how can you guarantee it’s executing your code as intended and… Vitor Pamplona Nov 15, 2024, 3:30 PM
Another reason to migrate to NIP 17 and stop using NIP-04s DMs, which have a similar issue.… Vitor Pamplona Nov 13, 2024, 2:00 PM
I'm very curious to see the outcome of this shareholder vote pushing Microsoft to invest part of its treasury in Bitcoin, which may prove more effective than stock buybacks.… Vitor Pamplona Nov 12, 2024, 6:50 PM
