1.
Nostr's adoption thesis
The less you define, the more you imply
by Wouter Constant
2.
Dutch Bitcoiner
AntiHashedPodcast
Writing Book about nostr
00:40
3.
What this presentation about
A protocols design includes initself a thesis
on protocol adoption, due to underlying assumptions
1:17
4.
Examples
Governments/Academic: Pubhubs (Matrix)
Bussiness: Bluesky
Foss: Nostr
1:58
5.
What constitutes minimal viability?
Pubhubs (Matrix): make is "safe" for user
Bluesky: liability and monetization
Foss: Simpel for developer
4:03
6.
The Point of Nostr
Capture network effects through interoperability
4:43
7.
Three assumptions
The direction is workable
Method is workable
Motivation and means are sufficient
5:27
8.
Assumption 1
The asymmetric cryptography paradigm is a good idea
6:16
9.
Nostr is a exponent of the key-pair paradigm.
And Basicly just that.
6.52
10.
Keys suck
Protect a secret that you are supposed use all the time.
7:37
11.
Assumption two
The unaddressed things will be figured out within a 'meta-design consensus'
8:11
12.
Nostr's base protocol is not minimally viable for anything, except own development.
8:25
13.
Complexity leads to capture;
i.e. free and open in the name,
controlled in pratice
9:54
14.
Meta-design consensus
Buildings things 'note centric' mantains interoperability.
11:51
15.
Assumption three
the nightmare is scary;
the cream is appealing.
12:41
16.
Get it minimally viable,
for whatever target,
such that it is not a waste of time.
13:23
17.
Summarize
We are in a nightmare.
Assume key/signature are the way out.
Assume we can Maintain an open stardand while manifesting the dream.
Assume we are motivated enought to bootstrap this to adulthood.
14:01
18.
We want this,
we can do this,
because we have to.
14:12
Thank you for contribuiting
