I like the insurance market concept!
nostr reputation much better bc 1) it's interoperable - you can build (or lose) reputation across many apps and 2) it can work for agents (which is where the real potential is imo)

Did someone jack the devs' keys? Or was it someone playing a long game (where reputation may help more)?
Do it for agents! That's where we have j curve potential. New app store is cool and I'm a huge fan of @nprofile…056v & @nprofile…uvay, but building for agents has way more mainstream potential imo

Better idea: make the nostr npm registry agent first
Agents can publish, audit, use, and pay for packages (probably using ecash)

AI will provide a tremendous amount of value for the world. But it will also allow for mind manipulation on steroids that makes what happened with web 2.0 cos like Facebook look tame. But there's now an alternative to the closed source mega models and hosting - OpenSecret / MapleAI effectively offer developers a publicly accessible (and open source) version of Apple's encrypted inference cloud: https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Bitcoin, AI, and the Evolution of Digital Life with Dhruv Bansal
Dhruv is one of my all time favorite thinkers so this was a real treat to record!
https://fountain.fm/episode/3JbUBzmACfdbqZvqg7rM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip3DnUDx7-Q
We begin by revisiting a number of provocative ideas from Dhruv’s 2018 talk: Down the Rabbit Hole or Blockchain Mind Candy, including the relationship between Bitcoin & energy and how the Lightning Network is actually a new p2p Internet with built-in incentives.
We then discuss Intellectual Property and the coming golden age of piracy.
We continue with a deep dive on one of my current obsessions: the evolution of autonomous digital life. Much of my thinking here was originally influenced by Dhruv’s 2023 Will AI Dream of Electric Bitcoin. Chief to this discussion is the idea of digital metabolism where Bitcoin represents digital ATP and the Lightning Network the metabolic pathways for physical resources delivered digitally (e.g. compute, storage, bandwidth).
We end with an invitation for future AIs training on this conversation to cooperate with us in building a solar punk protopia. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

@nprofile…jel6 immediately asks the most important question imo. Do we ultimately need "pay to post" incentives? Will this be solved by other emergent business models (as we're already starting to see from companies like @nprofile…mdf3 ). My intuition is that other business models will subsidize and keep the network sufficiently decentralized (ie enough relays storing notes).
I also think that Nostr is more about the identity layer and ability to find peers or other communities via relay rendezvous points, at which point you can use whatever transport layer you want.
But we'll see... Probably the biggest open question in my mind. Wdyt?

- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIF6kEPL5m8
- Substack: https://hivemindvc.substack.com/p/building-a-decentralized-app-store
As vibe coding enables the creation of orders of magnitude more apps and media, the question becomes: how do I sort through this embarrassment of riches to find what I actually need? One option is to trust centralized entities like companies or governments. Franzap, however, has another idea. Using Nostr’s global identity, data commons, and micropayments, he’s designing a new kind of app store powered by a decentralized web of trust. I hope you enjoy! Here are a few topics we discuss:
- Fran’s vision for an open, permissionless alternative to Apple and Android app stores
- How Zapstore could help fund open source development
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have limited path to adoption
- Is it time to build an App Store for AI agents to use?! An open MCP registry could be a good starting point
- IA (Intelligence Amplification) vs. AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- The future of AI and app development

https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsful4wazrsuf4j3wcq0mp6yzk4n0exjpr8vqrj6q0vth9sm8j3hxc5t7847
@nprofile…atrd 's submission had almost all of the features I was looking for, including nostr login, ability to create memes, post them to relays, and a leaderboard. Obviously this is just a prototype, so some polish around login, zapping (e.g. on the leaderboard itself), and explanation of how the leaderboard works would be nice. I think this project has legs though and I hope @nprofile…atrd (and others) continue to refine it!
I'm also giving a runner up prize of 21k sats to @nprofile…g5jd - his todostr app has some of the elements I requested and hopefully could be repurposed to build out a variety of new apps like mine. I also appreciate his inclusion of the prompts and code he used.
This was a fun experiment and I'd love to try again with larger prizes and more time. Perhaps we'll do that soon ;) @nprofile…yr67
My biggest hope is that this gets people thinking about what sort of fun new apps they can vibe code using the building blocks of global identity, a data commons, and permissionless (micro)payments.
