By nodes you mean relays?
Here’s a business model: Personalized Webs of Trust relays. You’ll want to run one as an individual because it will keep track of who you trust and in what context. Running the relay yourself means you’re in full control of the algorithms that calculate your WoT scores. You’ll sync your relay with big relays like primal or damus but also with trusted friend relays which will make the big centralized ones redundant / unnecessary.
The above product is what I’m building now. Calling it Brainstorm. 🧠 ⚡️ It uses strfry under the hood, arguably the powerhouse relay of nostr. I’m keeping negentropy activated so you can sync your Brainstorm relay with trusted friendly Brainstorms quickly and efficiently. Whatever content you care about goes into your relay. Personalized WoT scores are calculated using a variety of methods, including PageRank for noncontextual trust and the much more versatile GrapeRank 🍇 for contextual trust.
You’ll be able to run your own Brainstorm. But as a business model, a service like nostr:npub1fvmadl0mch39c3hlr9jaewh7uwyul2mlf2hsmkafhgcs3dra6dzqg6szfu can host your Brainstorm for you.
Imagine if things like Trending content and Recommended Follows are communicated to primal via your Brainstorm. Personalized to the max. No more global feeds!
