1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,840
 With no peopling. Oh, okay. Let me see. Let's do it like this. All right, but let's not waste

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,880
 any more time. This is just going to be a no solutions afternoon. This is on? Yeah, but it's

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:27,520
 not plugged in yet. It's on. All right. Okay, change of plans. The brake was not a brake.

4
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,920
 We wanted to do something else. We wanted to go sauna. But yeah, like it's just the people around

5
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,200
 here are just, just, you know. Too much time. Yeah, it's, I think it's in their history, you know,

6
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,200
 like ever since this one, one guy came to power, they were speaking weird and just had this weird

7
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,800
 mustache. It went all downhill from there. From this point on. Was it John Barbados? No, different,

8
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,880
 different guy, different guy. Shorter. He could, not as hard to pronounce the name.

9
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:07,280
 Memorable name. Yeah, very memorable. He was really good marketing. Yeah, great marketing.

10
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,960
 Great designs, beautiful logos. Oh man, like the, the, the, the suits he made, they're still killer.

11
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:24,000
 The Hugo Boss was behind all that. Crazy. Great cars. Killer cars. Great, great, great Autobahnen that

12
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,880
 he built, you know, great, great streets. He did, he did many, many things. Where are leaders like that?

13
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,020
 today oh they're reappearing they're they're coming back they're coming back yeah yeah yeah

14
00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:44,000
 yeah some some many people i think would would like to would like to have a second merry-go-round

15
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,040
 around the authoritarian regime kind of thing it hasn't really tried you know exactly exactly full

16
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:58,020
 full real socialism hasn't hasn't been tried yet well anyway we're just gonna talk about um

17
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:05,740
 your adventures some more so change of plans we're gonna grab a drink um at the thing at the box at

18
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:11,700
 the box office you'll see i show you man box because we we actually made the mistake multiple

19
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:17,200
 times i think right with just kind of completely dehydrating during a no solutions recording

20
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:25,480
 so yeah let's not make this mistake again four times the same mistake yeah at least it's not

21
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:32,200
 it's we we're behaving like llm agents you know it's just like never never learn never learn

22
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,520
 you are totally right yeah you're totally right i mean give me a couple of billion dollars to

23
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,720
 retrain myself and maybe i'll i'll not make the mistake again

24
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:51,840
 all right phf sent me uh today this um this thing um i know it was like a very long report i only

25
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,120
 read the first two lines they were very interesting um that apparently someone prompted them with um

26
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:07,480
 with fix uh fix world poverty oh okay apparently they let the thing run for like i don't know how

27
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,320
 like i have no idea what the setup was but uh apparently it made like a google doc and a react tab

28
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:20,120
 nothing works like all the different asians were saying that they had conflicts that each one of the like

29
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,060
 after like two days of working they realized that they were working in isolated uh workspaces one of

30
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:28,400
 them was trying to debug but it couldn't log it into google

31
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:38,120
 so so so world hunger is still not fixed oh man what a shame what a shame what a shame

32
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:45,480
 but that would be interesting what the the because what they actually do is like take the

33
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,300
 accumulated written knowledge of the world and and trying to make sense of it and how would the

34
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:55,780
 accumulated knowledge of the world fix world hunger because it react up it's it's right

35
00:03:55,780 --> 00:04:02,320
 well that explains the state of the world i would have guessed like straight up communism basically

36
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:09,800
 that's that would have been my guess but i think world hunger is actually basically fixed in some

37
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,460
 sense like we there's more fat people than starving people and it has been like this for a very long time

38
00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:21,400
 yeah and i mean we are producing food like crazy like we have an overabundance of food

39
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:27,600
 it's not amount of food it's distribution and stuff like that yeah and and corruption in the really poor places

40
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:45,400
 and and so on and so on yeah in argentina there was this um this organization sending food from buenos aires to like very poor provinces um and sometimes they would put like you know inside of whatever like a like a like a box or something like that they would put like messages

41
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,340
 yeah and they would pop up being sold the same food box being sold in buenos aires

42
00:04:51,340 --> 00:04:53,340
 oh okay okay repurposing

43
00:04:53,340 --> 00:05:03,620
 i see they they build a a system just like the the nfc tags the rfid tags but just handwritten those

44
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:08,500
 just to figure out how where stuff circulates that's smart actually

45
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:13,440
 speaking of argentina tell me about all your other projects

46
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:21,380
 none of them are about argentina i only do like projects that might go somewhere

47
00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:33,380
 yeah no it's it's interesting like most of the stuff like basically all the stuff that i'm doing is as a way to test stuff for 10x

48
00:05:33,380 --> 00:05:39,320
 um like again i did all last and then the k swift and all as android and all as well

49
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,320
 like all the old stuff that it serves in

50
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:47,260
 the purpose of i need to build something to test the thing um so

51
00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:57,260
 so yeah i mean the the focus has been 100% on on on on this i also find it insanely interesting like it is so fascinating the type of problems

52
00:05:57,260 --> 00:06:05,200
 um so yeah integrated ndk swift and ndk kotlin with

53
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,200
 with uh with uh with nostr db um

54
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:15,140
 um then i've been doing a lot of work with uh with leopoldo lopez

55
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:23,080
 yeah um it's it's it's an interesting client it's it's a client that it's sort of like

56
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:52,080
 starting from the premise of instead of the premise of like rebuilding twitter or you know like this more global quote-unquote feed it's starting from the premise of you only care about your immediate surroundings yeah so when you are when you when you join you are it's kind of assumed that you're joining because someone invited you okay yeah um so i wrote um

57
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,960
 oh you need a car to line yeah there's that's kyc at the entrance

58
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,660
 oh no oh no i'm already i'm already i'm already locked out

59
00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:10,140
 all right i'll i'll need another one i'll need another identity let me see let's see

60
00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:18,120
 ah but that's bad then now we might we might dehydrate completely i have none

61
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:26,360
 but uh maybe with uh oh there we go see oh well they just it just needed a while to copy the card

62
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,240
 just to completely scan me it's just needed for the proofs of identity

63
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,800
 yeah

64
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:39,060
 all right what do you what do you want to have i really like this one that's some some sort of

65
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:44,500
 so like mango no it's like it's almost like an iced tea but it's it's incredibly low on sugar

66
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:48,660
 okay yeah i'll have one of those there's a wrangle of water as well if you want

67
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:54,100
 some more no you'll be fine with this i'm fine with that yeah all right let's do it

68
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,940
 you know having someone to blame if it's bad

69
00:07:55,940 --> 00:08:00,420
 you learned that from your agents

70
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:11,540
 so how did the launch go of the of the of the client and all those kind of things it's it's

71
00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:17,460
 still an ongoing process all right all right and so the idea is kind of local um

72
00:08:18,740 --> 00:08:26,020
 basically you build your network by the the network of invites is that right yeah that's that's basically

73
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:36,580
 so like i i i think trust is something that within bitcoin is kind of don't trust verify

74
00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:42,980
 but there is a lot of value in trust if you can trust oh sure uh like i i'm doing peer-to-peer trades

75
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:49,220
 right now i told you yeah in a way that because i know the counterpart so well yeah i can pay him like

76
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:53,540
 a couple of days later we don't need an escrow we don't need like a lot of all of these things right

77
00:08:53,540 --> 00:09:01,540
 um so what if you do the peer-to-peer trade with someone that you know how you are related to that

78
00:09:01,540 --> 00:09:07,540
 person if it's a neighbor or if you know someone that can vouch for that person because you can see

79
00:09:07,540 --> 00:09:13,060
 cryptographically linked this person was invited into into the relay by this other person yeah

80
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:23,620
 um and yeah it has a bunch of interesting things i built um the use case is very it's very different

81
00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:32,180
 than what we think of nosterras like the use case is a lot about a local place for where people can

82
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:39,220
 have like a like a public square but within one specific region and they might be doing citizen

83
00:09:39,220 --> 00:09:46,740
 journalism now those people they don't want to like dox their their real identity if they're publishing

84
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:52,100
 stuff about corruption stuff like that if they are in those um yeah places right physically

85
00:09:52,100 --> 00:10:01,700
 but what if you can kind of out of band without leaving like any trace um be able to say hey i'm

86
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:07,780
 going to be publishing with this pubkey i'm going to be publishing something and you can vouch for this

87
00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:13,700
 person and it's kind of like a source like a journalist says they don't say who the source is the

88
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:19,780
 journalist is saying this is a credible source you don't need to know who that person is you just need

89
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:26,180
 to trust that the journalist is not lying yeah yeah so you can do the same thing and within us we can do

90
00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:33,780
 all that out of band yeah within like with diff wraps and all the things right yeah in a way that leopoldo

91
00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:39,380
 or someone that is well known within that community says this is a credible person it's not publishing

92
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:45,860
 bullshit i'm lending my credibility to this puppy yeah and that puppy can publish whatever they need to

93
00:10:45,860 --> 00:10:51,860
 yeah yeah um i haven't implemented that but i will they can do the publishing with the onion routing

94
00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:56,900
 like stuff that we built in in summer engineering where not even their ip address is leaked yeah yeah

95
00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:05,620
 um so there are no ties to their real identity in any kind of way yeah you can build a dedicated

96
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:11,380
 publishing tool that takes care of all of that that ticket and all the tech yeah because you go from

97
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:16,500
 the premise that these are non-technical people which is actually the case yeah it's actually the case

98
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:21,380
 activists are non-technical people oh yeah yeah i know i mean i've i've on boarded a bunch and and

99
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:24,980
 like almost almost everyone of course you know lost their first key

100
00:11:24,980 --> 00:11:27,940
 including

101
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:35,380
 but i think that's also fine i think that's a that's a you know it's a very inexpensive lesson

102
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:40,900
 to learn and and it's also something something you know that we're we're working on yeah hopefully

103
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:47,060
 will be fixed in in in some way in the long run with again like i think i think um fatty did this

104
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:53,380
 really well i think fatty had the right uh right ideas around that with kind of a community-based

105
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:58,660
 backup and recovery approach those kind of things i think that that that's really nice so we did

106
00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:09,300
 not very xxx um what like a month ago or so um and we did a session just on this just on identity

107
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:14,820
 migration and we run through the proposal that i wrote like two years ago and i did the implementation

108
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:20,980
 and i had some refinement because one of the things is the the agora client comes with an ip60 wallet

109
00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:28,340
 and you can get subs there will be like substantial subs because there is some real funds coming yeah from

110
00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:31,460
 people that you know yeah um and

111
00:12:31,460 --> 00:12:40,260
 the money is in the key yeah yeah so so now that the key is not just your identity it's also money

112
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:47,940
 yeah so and this is non-technical people so now what i built for for for agoda uh that we are now like

113
00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:57,140
 making a nip around it is when at some point you know like you get two enough followers there is enough

114
00:12:57,140 --> 00:13:04,500
 value on the private key to make it worth your while you can select people not that you trust

115
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:12,180
 you select people that you can reach which is different and all you're doing is you symmetrically

116
00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:16,260
 encrypt with with like a passphrase a passphrase that you remember you know it doesn't have to be

117
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:22,580
 like super secure it's just to protect yourself a little bit more yeah shamir's secret sharding the

118
00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:30,180
 private key and you send it as a follow event from an ephemeral key to the people that you say that you

119
00:13:30,180 --> 00:13:37,460
 not trust again someone that you can call on the phone yeah and you with enough quorum say three out of five

120
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:42,500
 whatever it might be if you tell them okay send me the shards send me the shard send me the shard

121
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:47,060
 uh which is new they don't need to know what a shard is yeah sure but it's click here it's all

122
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:51,860
 it's directed away yeah and that's it and you get your key back you get your key back so that protects

123
00:13:51,860 --> 00:13:59,380
 you from i lost my key yeah and the um the identity migration stuff protects you from my key got stolen

124
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:04,980
 yeah someone else has my key two very different things yeah we can solve with the same problem yeah

125
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:11,380
 but you what you can't solve and i think or correct me if i'm wrong but one really hard problem is like

126
00:14:11,380 --> 00:14:18,820
 if you build stuff up over time like and and your key gets stolen like the rolling over old events

127
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:26,260
 basically no no that's uh to me it's a problem not not worth solving not worth solving i i think i agree

128
00:14:26,260 --> 00:14:33,860
 you can do something you can do some stuff around it yeah it's you can republish with the new one you

129
00:14:33,860 --> 00:14:38,820
 can republish with the new one there's still all the events are going to be linked yeah tagging the

130
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:45,220
 old the old no and it's also what i like about nostr is and to some degree also about bitcoin is that

131
00:14:45,220 --> 00:14:52,340
 that it just it works in practice even if all like not every problem is perfectly solved theoretically

132
00:14:53,140 --> 00:14:58,020
 and i think that's that's one of those yeah there you go there is no solutions to certain things

133
00:14:58,020 --> 00:15:05,780
 and yeah i i think i agree with you that that that that particular problem is probably not worth

134
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:13,700
 solving but the key loss like onboarding and loss problem is definitely worth solving and it's very

135
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:19,780
 kind of trivial solvable it is it should be yeah and again i think fatty did a really good job with with

136
00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:26,260
 that that was kind of the there were wallets before that that did also the social recovery

137
00:15:26,260 --> 00:15:34,740
 uh shamir secret sharing thing and that also worked as far as i know but the issue with that is always

138
00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:40,100
 that they had to bootstrap their own social network basically and that's where nostr shines where you

139
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:44,260
 can just like you already have your contacts you already know the people and you just need to during the

140
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:51,940
 setup process basically select like the five people or select the ten people or whatever that um are

141
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:57,860
 actually reachable talk to me more about the reachable versus trust thing why is this distinction

142
00:15:57,860 --> 00:16:04,660
 important here well you you're not giving them your key you know me shamir you they don't really gain

143
00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:12,820
 any kind of special access you they they and the fact that they don't even know necessarily i mean they

144
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:17,700
 could maybe they can guess it but they could they wouldn't necessarily know who the other counterparts

145
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:23,700
 are of the split uh because it's all published with a different key and it's all published in a

146
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:28,740
 yeah you just know you're a person you don't know the whole quorum so conspiring is you don't even

147
00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:33,460
 very hard you don't even know that you are a holder until someone asks you hey i need you will

148
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:40,660
 know you will know after the fact okay okay um which is kind of cool yeah interesting okay yeah

149
00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:48,420
 yeah because it's you are p tagging them on a kind three on a follow all they see is a follow event

150
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:55,780
 there is just this weird payload somewhere yeah on the event uh but if you see the event on on primal

151
00:16:55,780 --> 00:17:03,060
 or something you just see someone followed you yeah that's it yeah yeah i see okay yeah no that's

152
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:11,140
 cool that's cool that's cool how what else was discussed in the nostra xxx um i i think the most

153
00:17:11,140 --> 00:17:17,940
 interesting the main points the the most interesting stuff was was the the identity i think it's like

154
00:17:17,940 --> 00:17:24,260
 something that is still very important to solve properly the next cohort will focus on identity

155
00:17:24,260 --> 00:17:33,380
 purely basically right let's see how it goes all the implementations will go there um what else um

156
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:43,380
 what else is we discussed we discussed um like uh not paywalls but um like subscriptions and stuff like

157
00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:53,780
 that that's still um yet to be solved um it's one of my pet peeves as you know there's still so many

158
00:17:53,780 --> 00:17:59,780
 people in the in the bitcoin world and in the industry world that are trying to paywall content i'm just

159
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:06,260
 gonna yap about that for a couple minutes because that's just i i still think it's so misguided and

160
00:18:06,260 --> 00:18:10,100
 it's just kind of i don't know look at the most

161
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:18,740
 i don't know it's it's very frustrating to me because i just think it's the wrong

162
00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:25,700
 approach and if you look at um online creators

163
00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:32,580
 how they actually make money and and and how they how they monetize themselves

164
00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:36,340
 it's not with paywall content in the traditional sense

165
00:18:36,340 --> 00:18:40,420
 and i see that's my that's my my main criticism

166
00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:46,420
 for most people that would like to do that is still that most people think about paywalls with

167
00:18:47,220 --> 00:18:53,060
 you cannot see the blog post but if you pay 21 sets then you will be able to see the blog post

168
00:18:53,060 --> 00:18:57,060
 and that just never works because like someone will pay it and screenshot it and then send it around

169
00:18:57,060 --> 00:19:02,100
 for free yeah and and and the distinction is terribly important because what actually works is

170
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:08,020
 i mean you see that on twitch and then on on on the big platforms and so on only fans is maybe a

171
00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:13,860
 great example as well where like i mean i'm i i still don't know why people pay for only fans but in

172
00:19:13,860 --> 00:19:20,180
 the best case it's kind of early access you know yeah it's it's actually it's actually like all this

173
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:27,540
 stuff is you cannot box content in no matter how hard you try and so what you what you can monetize

174
00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:36,660
 is special special times and places where you have like a an elevated access level basically and i

175
00:19:36,660 --> 00:19:42,980
 think i think i think fear jeff is right about his kind of relay idea that kind of you

176
00:19:42,980 --> 00:19:50,900
 like it it it could be relay based in some sense where it's like this this this relay is like paid

177
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:57,700
 only and it's it's very much like a you know a close chat room that you might have on discord or

178
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:01,940
 what have you and those kind of things and it's the thing that doesn't scale right like you can copy content

179
00:20:01,940 --> 00:20:07,460
 endlessly for no cost exactly but you cannot copy a relationship yeah you can't copy a live chat that

180
00:20:07,460 --> 00:20:14,020
 has q a exactly you can copy a one-on-one or a 10 to one with the creator yeah anyway like quick rant

181
00:20:14,020 --> 00:20:19,300
 about that because i just i still see projects and i still see people trying to make paywalls like

182
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:25,300
 traditional paywalls work and they i think they're just very misguided i i still think

183
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:32,500
 yeah i i don't know like in some sense i mentioned twitch a lot in these kind of conversations yeah

184
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:40,820
 there you go i'm gonna take a picture of this yeah let's go my kids are gonna be

185
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:49,940
 insanely insanely jealous of it i'm gonna be like i saw this you you did it you did not

186
00:20:52,340 --> 00:20:59,300
 but you know me and i saw them so you one degree of separation one degree of separation you saw it by proxy

187
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:03,380
 that's cute right yeah

188
00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:18,340
 i think they're like um um not too not too long ago we saw a we saw a deer like every day really

189
00:21:18,340 --> 00:21:26,260
 or different years kind of it's it's um because the the we had to drive the same route all the time

190
00:21:26,260 --> 00:21:32,660
 yeah and and just every single day there was a deer somewhere either on the street or in the field

191
00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:42,260
 nearby and so but yeah it's it's you know it's very very romantic very romantic place we are in a

192
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:49,860
 romantic stroll kind of situation like shitting on paywalls romantically shitting on paywalls

193
00:21:49,860 --> 00:21:56,260
 no i think it's kind of interesting because i think there is a like our instinct is to build

194
00:21:56,260 --> 00:22:02,340
 with the new technology what has already been built before without this new technology i think we did the

195
00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:07,460
 same thing and it's kind of like the realization i've been having lately with with nostr is that we

196
00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:14,260
 started just rebuilding the alternative to twitter the alternative to like the to instagram that i yeah

197
00:22:14,260 --> 00:22:21,700
 and and i think it's the wrong framing like it i told this to million it's like it's like doing nostr

198
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:30,500
 adoption in hard mode it's is you are picking the hardest battle because you're focusing on a problem of a

199
00:22:31,620 --> 00:22:38,020
 network effects an overserved market like the the the level of the the quality of the applications that

200
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:44,420
 you're going against is insane like you'll never be able to match that um and there are new things

201
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:49,060
 that can be built because of this technology well because of bitcoin because of nostr there are new

202
00:22:49,060 --> 00:22:56,420
 things that could not be built before and i find that so much more interesting but it's i think it's very

203
00:22:56,420 --> 00:23:01,860
 hard to figure out what the new things are let's go here by the way it's i i think we're in the process

204
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:10,180
 of trying to figure it out i i i still think it's valuable to have a sub stack and medium and instagram

205
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:16,980
 and twitter replacement and so on like just speaking purely self selfish selfishly oh what are you looking

206
00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:25,060
 at it oh it's just i came on that seat on the flight over actually i meant to send it to you no coincidences

207
00:23:25,060 --> 00:23:33,380
 21 is everywhere um but like for me nostr replaced twitter completely and i know i'm a very special

208
00:23:33,380 --> 00:23:38,500
 case i know you know like yeah for me it was only bitcoin twitter and like us like all the people

209
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:44,340
 that are currently on us there we are a different market oh absolutely absolutely but to me to me it's kind

210
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:54,580
 of like to me it's not clear what the new things are outside of the

211
00:23:54,580 --> 00:24:03,620
 frictionless value sending that the bitcoin and saps and lightning and e-cash and everything provides

212
00:24:03,620 --> 00:24:10,340
 which is kind of a little bit outside of nostr strong overlap but but but you know what i'm trying

213
00:24:10,340 --> 00:24:16,180
 to say like the the rest of it is a very hard sell the rest of it is kind of the um i talked about

214
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:22,180
 this in the past the computer science professor that self-hosts his like static index html website

215
00:24:22,180 --> 00:24:28,660
 and has self-hosted it for the last 40 years from his like you know toaster that runs linux on it from

216
00:24:28,660 --> 00:24:36,500
 his closet you know that's the value proposition it's like you if you know how to use nostr right you

217
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:41,380
 can't actually be self-sovereign in in this corner of the internet and the corner of the internet very

218
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:49,220
 much feels like what the platforms brought us so so here's what what i've been thinking is that

219
00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:58,180
 like i think intuitively we think like our instinct compels us to think that the next thing

220
00:24:58,740 --> 00:25:05,700
 is a replica of the previous big thing like all the people that go for shit coins is what is the

221
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:10,900
 next bitcoin and the next bitcoin is bitcoin right oh yeah and and i think that's the case like what

222
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:15,940
 is the next facebook it's fucking facebook um like all this is not going to be the next instagram because

223
00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:24,260
 the next instagram is instagram what what i think is is is compelling and i i don't know if you follow

224
00:25:24,260 --> 00:25:32,500
 like how close you follow like this the stuff that goes on on substack but there is a lot of backlash

225
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:40,580
 against substack for the simple reason and it's an unfixable problem which i think it's so interesting

226
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:48,660
 it's just a function of size it is so big and it's it's always pareto distribution

227
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:55,300
 there's always a few people making a fuckload of money yeah yeah everyone else everybody else starts

228
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:01,140
 yeah and everybody everybody else is trying to get what is the latest marketing gimmick of what you can

229
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:07,860
 do how much you have to post on notes on on on uh on substack and they're all playing for peanuts yeah

230
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:14,740
 they're all working their asses off they went there with the assumption that it's a small market which is

231
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:20,900
 why it worked at the beginning it worked not because of how the thing is structured or because the founders

232
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:25,700
 have like really good intentions or whatnot like the intentions don't matter it's just the size is so

233
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:32,100
 big and it's always going to be pareto because humans we think in this way like you see that someone

234
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:37,940
 has a million followers and you're gonna pay more attention yeah i mean that's uh that's uh it seems like

235
00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:45,620
 that's how the the universe works i mean uh peterson had a long uh like rant on that many many years ago

236
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:52,100
 it's it's the the matthew principle like to to you know it's in the bible already i don't know the verse

237
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:57,860
 but it's like to those who have everything more will be given and to those who have nothing you know even

238
00:26:57,860 --> 00:27:02,980
 more will be taken those kind of things so it's it's similar like you can see the pareto distribution

239
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:11,460
 everywhere like size of stars height of trees you know nutrition in in in like you know packs of

240
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:18,340
 animals like the the the most successful will get everything basically like or like 80 of it

241
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:27,460
 it seems to be just uh yeah it's just how things work yeah yeah it's just the universe structure and

242
00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:32,340
 but do you do you think nostril will have an easier time kind of

243
00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:37,620
 counteracting that in some sense like let me rephrase that it seems to me

244
00:27:37,620 --> 00:27:42,660
 that all the platforms are especially prone to that because you have like

245
00:27:43,220 --> 00:27:51,540
 one single lens on the whole graph so to speak and email for example doesn't have this issue that much

246
00:27:51,540 --> 00:28:00,100
 yeah right totally i would i would guess yeah yeah totally yeah the way i think about it is that

247
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:07,140
 within a platform which is a database within a database you're putting all content

248
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:18,100
 in the same database this way okay and you are you are waiting the value however way you define value

249
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:26,420
 engagement whatever it might be um under that same lens and that's why we end up with it's all porn

250
00:28:26,420 --> 00:28:32,580
 it's all cats video it's all short videos it's all like the most engaging stuff because you are waiting

251
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:38,740
 yeah you're optimizing for the wrong thing you're optimizing for attention and engagement you're

252
00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:40,980
 hi

253
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:55,060
 you are you're optimizing for engagement it could be that you're optimizing for i don't know

254
00:28:55,060 --> 00:29:01,540
 haikus or whatever it might be like you could use whatever algorithm you want but it's one thing

255
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:14,100
 it's like you're waiting the value of a picture with the value of a a poem or a song yeah or a tweet

256
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:23,780
 or a post yeah um and the reason why i do think that nostr has a different promise

257
00:29:23,780 --> 00:29:31,940
 is that scaling nostr is hard like scaling a single relay so it will always fragment

258
00:29:31,940 --> 00:29:38,900
 it tends towards fragmentation yeah naturally yeah it naturally sends towards

259
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:47,380
 you are not gonna have a billion people using one virtual relay like one single entity which is also

260
00:29:47,380 --> 00:29:54,580
 why many small markets is strictly superior to like one big centrally planned instance that distributes

261
00:29:54,580 --> 00:30:01,380
 goods exactly right it's a scaling issue as well exactly and i think the promise of nostr like what's

262
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:08,500
 interesting about it is that you as the user with your outbox and with your your key and whatnot

263
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:15,460
 you get to decide what the internet is for you at any point in time and the system can react

264
00:30:15,460 --> 00:30:24,020
 to how your preferences evolve how your consumption of content and your interactions how do they evolve

265
00:30:24,020 --> 00:30:33,540
 and you can have completely different weighting of what is valuable to you on different relays

266
00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:41,380
 so to me it's like a much more organic and natural way

267
00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:49,380
 of approaching the problem of what is worth my admission yeah yeah to me to me it's a different

268
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:55,700
 paradigm in the sense and i i made this comparison just recently um

269
00:30:55,700 --> 00:31:07,380
 can you believe it i appeared in a in another podcast german speaking one what oh my god the spell has been broken yeah

270
00:31:09,140 --> 00:31:16,260
 the one i uh launched myself yeah thanks i was i was asking you to pronounce it

271
00:31:17,940 --> 00:31:23,700
 it must sound how did i do it it must sound very similar to berbeki in your years

272
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:33,780
 same same word basically i know 20 and berbeki exactly the same thing but i i feel like the

273
00:31:36,740 --> 00:31:43,700
 to me it's very interesting that all the i think you made a great point before where all the content types

274
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:49,300
 compete with each other basically for attention because that's the only thing that you have online

275
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:56,180
 and that's why all the platforms turn themselves into the tick tock they have to look at self stock

276
00:31:56,180 --> 00:32:01,940
 oh i know they have to tick tock like it's so far like yeah for them to short videos it's like

277
00:32:01,940 --> 00:32:06,260
 so far it's like you cannot go any further than that yeah yeah it's really bad it's really bad

278
00:32:06,740 --> 00:32:19,140
 and the the comparison i made was actually to kind of um fast food and to like if you don't think

279
00:32:19,140 --> 00:32:24,900
 about what you eat and if it's just about consuming calories and if it's just about kind of distracting

280
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:31,380
 yourself eating as a form of distraction then fast food is really appealing yeah totally and i think

281
00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:38,420
 what the platform the platforms like again i think it comes back to monetization in a large

282
00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:45,620
 to a large degree that's why some platforms try to push people into monthly subscriptions and so on

283
00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:50,660
 because it is a different way of monetizing and i think it would be strictly better from a quality

284
00:32:50,660 --> 00:33:00,580
 perspective um but if you don't do that you have to cater towards attention yeah and the best way to do it

285
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:07,940
 is by producing basically like lucid dreams i think what we're building is like lucid dreaming platforms

286
00:33:07,940 --> 00:33:14,500
 where like that's what tick tock short form videos are it's like 10 second snippets

287
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:23,140
 of whatever you want to dream about yeah and it's maximally engaging so to speak or maximally again it's

288
00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:30,980
 a virveci virvecian term hyper salient like you whatever appeals to you the most that's what will

289
00:33:30,980 --> 00:33:38,420
 be shown to you yeah and if the algorithm doesn't know much about you it will send something your way

290
00:33:38,420 --> 00:33:43,780
 that most people in your age bracket with your tastes and your gender and your browsing habits find

291
00:33:43,780 --> 00:33:49,620
 appealing and then like after like two minutes of yes no scrolling you're locked in

292
00:33:49,620 --> 00:33:56,820
 and it will it it's literally like a lucid dream and and it will be like that more and more as you

293
00:33:56,820 --> 00:34:02,740
 know more ai generated stuff they will generate stuff on the fly for you oh 100 that's what they

294
00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:07,700
 want to do no doubt i mean spokespeople already told us that much that's that's that's where they

295
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:13,220
 want to go i mean imagine if you are no longer constrained on what is the most addicting for this

296
00:34:13,220 --> 00:34:18,820
 person for this moment to content that actually exists yeah you can just make it on the fly oh sure i mean

297
00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:24,340
 porn already does that as far as i know that's like the the most i i think i think not even not

298
00:34:24,340 --> 00:34:32,340
 even in the porn department but also in the like soft porn right like trending towards porn uh instagram

299
00:34:32,340 --> 00:34:40,740
 kind of content it's i highly doubt that like the time has long passed where this stuff is real it used

300
00:34:40,740 --> 00:34:48,580
 to be filters it used to be like you know photoshop and steroids and i'm pretty sure most of the stuff

301
00:34:48,580 --> 00:34:51,540
 right now that most people consume is just straight up generated

302
00:34:51,540 --> 00:34:58,180
 who's gonna give jobs to the porn stars now

303
00:34:58,180 --> 00:35:05,540
 there will always be a market it's just like homegrown

304
00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:12,900
 homegrown porn you know when when upstar came around for musicians was actually you actually have to go

305
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:20,100
 live and perform so for porn stars you know there might be some same idea you think so but i think

306
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:26,660
 the parito stuff points to an interesting reality and i think we talked about this in the past but it's

307
00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:35,300
 worth repeating there is a large chunk of noser that is just um interested in and dealing with music

308
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:42,020
 yeah and that part really seems to work and there's of course like lots of crossover to the podcasting 2.0

309
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:49,060
 decentralized music kind of movement and so on but i think for those kind of segments it can really work

310
00:35:49,060 --> 00:35:58,580
 like where um you you you have your kind of you fill your niche in some sense you have a little bit of a

311
00:35:58,580 --> 00:36:06,020
 following and you make it really frictionless to build a community and to send value around basically

312
00:36:06,020 --> 00:36:14,580
 i think that's kind of the main value proposition without without um without needing to self-censor i

313
00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:21,460
 think that's kind of the main issue that lots of the platforms have where it's just like you have to

314
00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:28,980
 always be wary of being deplatformed and it's like can i say that and like most of the youtube content

315
00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:34,980
 that i watch still like every sentence is like has a little bleep in it somewhere because the people

316
00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:40,020
 they have to self like they have to censor it otherwise the video will be demonetized right

317
00:36:40,020 --> 00:36:44,020
 and like they like to swear and they will say you know and whatever and and talk

318
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:48,980
 about political topics and they have to like they were for example one guy was going through the

319
00:36:48,980 --> 00:36:54,900
 epstein files and every every time he said you know like the rapist or even sex offender or something

320
00:36:54,900 --> 00:37:02,340
 like that he had to bleep the words that's the state of youtube right yeah yeah that's really bad right

321
00:37:03,380 --> 00:37:10,340
 and i think i think that's again i i think i think the internet needs a corner where

322
00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:13,380
 you don't have to worry about this stuff too much

323
00:37:13,380 --> 00:37:21,620
 the from from what i've seen and the conversations that i've had the the people are trying to make a

324
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:27,940
 living out of their content which is a such a insulting word it's content

325
00:37:27,940 --> 00:37:35,140
 fuck that jesus we're producing content right now man this is content

326
00:37:35,140 --> 00:37:45,940
 the their their issue is like top of mind is the distribution you know it's it's all about and that's

327
00:37:45,940 --> 00:37:51,940
 that's kind of interesting because a lot of people that i that i've spoken with they arrive to the same

328
00:37:51,940 --> 00:37:58,980
 conclusion that you mentioned briefly a while ago about paywalls and whatnot is if your content is

329
00:37:58,980 --> 00:38:05,540
 behind a paywall no one will see it no one sees it yeah so no one reads you yeah so you don't want to

330
00:38:05,540 --> 00:38:10,580
 artificially restrict the distribution of your content and that's what the twitch people figured out for

331
00:38:10,580 --> 00:38:16,820
 example you know like it's everything is everywhere at all times and everything is re-shared and re-clipped

332
00:38:16,820 --> 00:38:21,780
 and like re-uploaded to youtube and other things and so on and that's how how the content kind of

333
00:38:21,780 --> 00:38:27,860
 distributes itself naturally and it's still like people still pay for it but they pay for something

334
00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:32,420
 else right i would argue similar to only fans and other things you know where it's like you

335
00:38:32,420 --> 00:38:39,220
 you actually you you i'm gonna stick with twitch otherwise it will just get out of hand but if you

336
00:38:39,220 --> 00:38:44,740
 donate to someone on twitch like if you subscribe to someone on twitch you're not paying you're not

337
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:51,940
 buying the mp4 file you're not buying the video stream file you know what i mean you always had access

338
00:38:51,940 --> 00:38:57,220
 to that you're buying something else and that's something that's something that i think most people in the

339
00:38:57,220 --> 00:39:02,900
 bitcoin industry world and still don't get like at all yeah anyway i'm still ranting

340
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:14,900
 but yeah i think it a lot of it comes down from the fact that what everybody in and i'm going to

341
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:19,940
 stick to substack because that's the one that i know the best what everybody is trying to replicate

342
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:26,580
 on substack is the early adopters that have that are making a killing on substack of

343
00:39:26,580 --> 00:39:33,460
 which there are like 20 yeah out of millions of writers yeah um and they're trying to replicate

344
00:39:33,460 --> 00:39:41,060
 this model where you have hundreds of thousands of subscribers you have a insane income an insane

345
00:39:41,060 --> 00:39:51,540
 uh mrr yeah and it's just by sheer numbers not everybody can have that a very very very small few can have

346
00:39:51,540 --> 00:40:02,340
 that yeah um so they are all fighting for kind of like a dream it's it's it's um a pipe dream yeah but

347
00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:07,780
 it's the same everywhere a very a very small percentage of all musicians make all the money a very small

348
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:13,220
 percentage of all movie stars make all the money a very small percentage of all movies make all the money

349
00:40:13,220 --> 00:40:18,340
 you know and so on and so forth it's like it's the same everywhere take writers and so on it's like but

350
00:40:18,340 --> 00:40:24,180
 but to me it's interesting the the fact that they are being sold that that dream of oh you can make

351
00:40:24,180 --> 00:40:29,940
 as much money as this writer like basically that's what the when they are advertising that so and so is

352
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:35,220
 making this amount is you could also make this amount right like if you apply yourself you can make that

353
00:40:35,220 --> 00:40:42,020
 that same same with only fans they're being sold a lie they're being sold a lie into a trap they're

354
00:40:42,020 --> 00:40:47,700
 they're prostituting themselves for nothing because you're playing in a market that has that is has

355
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:53,940
 already been it's a winner takes most market where there is already a winner yeah and you're gonna bring

356
00:40:53,940 --> 00:41:00,660
 all your effort and all your whatnot all your sweat and tears yeah into a place where basically you cannot

357
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:05,140
 win yeah basically and that's actually a good point because i think that's one thing that sub stack

358
00:41:05,140 --> 00:41:10,260
 actually did right whereas the the main distribution channel at least in the beginning that was the

359
00:41:10,260 --> 00:41:16,500
 case i'm not sure how it is now was email right i think what nostr allows you to do is to to be yourself

360
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:21,540
 find your niche just do the one thing like no one can be better at being you than you you know yeah

361
00:41:21,540 --> 00:41:27,860
 and just kind of be yourself without risk of being deplatformed and you can actually build your

362
00:41:27,860 --> 00:41:32,820
 digital empire for lack of a better word you know and and have people that actually follow you and

363
00:41:32,820 --> 00:41:37,700
 are interested in the stuff you have to put out and you can form real connection and you can have real

364
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:42,420
 value flowing again without intermediaries and i think that's the value proposition it just takes a

365
00:41:42,420 --> 00:41:46,340
 lot of time and it takes a lot of effort to build it out and and all those kind of things but you can

366
00:41:46,340 --> 00:41:51,060
 actually do it in a way without ever getting rug pulled and that to me is the value proposition which

367
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:56,500
 of course coincidentally to me is also the value proposition of bitcoin right no rug pulls yeah like

368
00:41:56,500 --> 00:42:02,100
 if you're getting rock pulled you rock pulled yourself which is definitely possible which happens

369
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:09,860
 no no no free lunch no free lunch that's why a very long time ago i wrote about like how in in the

370
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:17,460
 bitcoin world like responsibility is like programmed in like if you take bitcoin seriously and you you

371
00:42:17,460 --> 00:42:23,540
 rearrange your life to live on the bitcoin standard for example you have to be responsible you like at least

372
00:42:23,540 --> 00:42:28,340
 for your keys for your keys for example and those kind of things and in in a large like following up

373
00:42:28,340 --> 00:42:33,300
 to that also you have to be you have to take your privacy more seriously you have to take your

374
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:37,380
 digital hygiene more seriously and so on and all of that is true for nostra as well like if you

375
00:42:37,380 --> 00:42:41,060
 actually want to go down that route and build out

376
00:42:43,460 --> 00:42:48,740
 i think that's why the overlap to the regenerative farmer community is so big because if you want to

377
00:42:48,740 --> 00:42:51,220
 take charge of your life you actually have to go buy a farm

378
00:42:51,220 --> 00:42:59,060
 buy a lot of plants you know grow your own food have you you know all those kind of things but i'm only

379
00:42:59,060 --> 00:43:04,260
 half joking like i think i really think that that's why the overlap is so big because the same is true

380
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:11,220
 on like with your your your digital estate you know like you you will actually have to

381
00:43:11,220 --> 00:43:16,580
 run your own relay you have to take care of your own key material you have to run your own node you

382
00:43:16,580 --> 00:43:20,580
 have to take care of all those kind of things you know like you actually have to on the bitcoin side

383
00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:26,420
 you know like you have to stamp your words in in steel and like make sure that they're held somewhere

384
00:43:26,420 --> 00:43:35,700
 safely exactly and then and so on and so on and you'll have to upgrade over time all those kind of

385
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:40,580
 things you know and and i mean just looking at myself at my own like nostril infrastructure

386
00:43:40,580 --> 00:43:46,740
 like i run multiple relays i i have multiple blossom servers and and like i have to take care of all

387
00:43:46,740 --> 00:43:55,220
 this stuff just like you would have to you know like plow the field and milk the cows in the morning you

388
00:43:55,220 --> 00:44:00,740
 know it's just like it's work but it's also rewarding in the sense that you at least know that's

389
00:44:00,740 --> 00:44:07,060
 yours yeah and you're not you know just renting the youtube channel and i mean it always breaks my

390
00:44:07,060 --> 00:44:13,540
 heart every time i see someone who has built a life around a certain platform for the last 10 15 years

391
00:44:13,540 --> 00:44:21,060
 whatever and then by just some whatever sometimes it's just like straight up bureaucratic mistake or

392
00:44:21,060 --> 00:44:26,580
 whatever they just get nuked off the planet and everything's gone like their whole library everything

393
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:30,900
 the whole output that they produce over the last 15 years completely gone no backups

394
00:44:32,900 --> 00:44:43,140
 it's insane it's completely insane if only someone would have made t-shirts and stickers and so on that

395
00:44:43,140 --> 00:44:50,820
 says the cloud is just someone else's computer if only well anyway anyway let's see let's see how it

396
00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:55,540
 goes i mean again but again there is there's no free lunch in that sense like you it actually is work

397
00:44:55,540 --> 00:45:02,500
 and it actually requires a certain amount of thought and care and responsibility to take care of your

398
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:08,820
 digital infrastructure and so on so i doubt that i'm only mentioning that because i doubt that

399
00:45:09,860 --> 00:45:18,260
 the masses will ever do that maybe the markets will solve that and maybe you know like people enough

400
00:45:18,260 --> 00:45:26,580
 people will be willing to pay for it in a sense and and i think it will get easier and easier to self-host and

401
00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:36,260
 so on i think it will get easier and easier and and i think the i'm i'm a forever optimist i i think the

402
00:45:36,260 --> 00:45:45,060
 the level of complacency that everybody has um like all these assumptions that we have on how people behave

403
00:45:45,060 --> 00:45:51,140
 are coming down from an observation of the the current world of the of the fast food

404
00:45:51,140 --> 00:45:59,620
 and we haven't even identified like that digitally we are all being served fast food like people like

405
00:45:59,620 --> 00:46:09,940
 we know yeah most people most people haven't realized like it is it is the lack of awareness

406
00:46:09,940 --> 00:46:15,940
 of where we're at it is and i think that complacency that we have oh it's in the cloud like all these

407
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:23,220
 things yeah in in one hand the tech will get better it will be easier to do all these things

408
00:46:23,220 --> 00:46:28,580
 distribution will also come which you know brings like okay i'm doing all this work for a reach of like

409
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:36,500
 maybe 500 people will see what i'm writing like i think all these lines will converge in like we'll go

410
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:46,180
 in the right direction together um but i also think that people will will care more when they like

411
00:46:46,180 --> 00:46:53,060
 you know like also 500 is a very respectable number you can imagine you can imagine imagine going up to a

412
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:58,420
 podium and there's like 500 people actually listening to you yeah that's a lot of people you know what i

413
00:46:58,420 --> 00:47:06,020
 mean i i i also think the the whole like everything is completely out of whack right now because if

414
00:47:06,020 --> 00:47:12,180
 you're not making like 10 million views you're you're a loser you know totally totally that's kind of

415
00:47:12,180 --> 00:47:19,540
 of which 99 are bots yeah of course but but it's everything so out of whack where we're just

416
00:47:19,540 --> 00:47:27,940
 it's i hope that we can return to a smaller more sane a world and i hope that nostr can help with that

417
00:47:27,940 --> 00:47:36,980
 because you actually um i mean there's lots lots has been written about those kind of things in the past

418
00:47:36,980 --> 00:47:42,020
 and there was this one book i there was actually a very well-known author but i i'm drawing a blank now

419
00:47:42,020 --> 00:47:47,620
 but the one thousand yeah one thousand true fans kelly ah there you go kevin kelly right and

420
00:47:47,620 --> 00:47:55,860
 there is a lot of truth in that that that's kind of that's the that's the right size you know what

421
00:47:55,860 --> 00:48:01,780
 i mean you don't need 20 million true fans like that's that's completely that's that's like you're

422
00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:10,020
 missing the mark by so much but but but i think the the problem is that because all content going back

423
00:48:10,020 --> 00:48:15,780
 all content is being compared and weight under the same scale yeah you you cannot have a thousand

424
00:48:15,780 --> 00:48:20,260
 true fans like no no you don't have 20 million or you have nothing on the bright side that's what

425
00:48:20,260 --> 00:48:25,140
 makes all and in the long run will make all the platforms kind of vanish and crumble like because

426
00:48:25,140 --> 00:48:31,940
 they it's it it turns itself into a unified slop machine yeah you know it's it's literally we're

427
00:48:31,940 --> 00:48:37,140
 moving from the slot machines of social media to the slot machines of ai and ai generated content

428
00:48:37,780 --> 00:48:42,020
 and everyone will have to produce the same slop just like all the fast food chains had to produce

429
00:48:42,020 --> 00:48:48,900
 the same fast food equally equally cheaply and and like the the only thing that that's missing from

430
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:57,220
 the food is nutrition you know like taste is there calories it's great but like health and nutrition

431
00:48:57,220 --> 00:49:01,060
 that's like no nowhere to be found but here's what i i've been making this point

432
00:49:01,860 --> 00:49:09,860
 prior in private conversations a lot but look at the health industry like fast it came as a as a byproduct

433
00:49:09,860 --> 00:49:19,460
 of noticing uh fast food and it is a real huge um industry with a lot of people that create that kind

434
00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:25,940
 of product there's mcdonald's still exists yeah sure but there are many many many companies building

435
00:49:25,940 --> 00:49:33,940
 products for the health conscious people yeah and i think for digital health um we don't have that much

436
00:49:33,940 --> 00:49:41,540
 yet yeah yeah i think there's an insane demand yeah i go to subreddits that have nothing to do with tech

437
00:49:41,540 --> 00:49:48,180
 and you can notice the appeal and and for for for the nostalgia of a lot of these products

438
00:49:48,980 --> 00:49:57,460
 and i think one thing that like you and me and i think people in our circles we we tend to disregard

439
00:49:57,460 --> 00:50:02,260
 the nostalgia for the geocities and like the the look and feel of the current 17-year-old product

440
00:50:02,260 --> 00:50:09,700
 uh website that that we think oh it's because we are this age you know and we look back but people

441
00:50:09,700 --> 00:50:18,100
 that are young they they don't they don't um they don't mention by name that nostalgia but they do crave

442
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:27,860
 the products that are not just influencer slop yeah like real connections yeah so i think that there's

443
00:50:27,860 --> 00:50:34,260
 very young people that are also drawn towards like gramophones and like very old style like vinyl

444
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:39,140
 players and so on yes uh that's kind of that's a fair comparison right where it's like they're not

445
00:50:39,140 --> 00:50:44,820
 from that era but they still prefer they prefer that to like uh i don't know like an itunes subscription

446
00:50:44,820 --> 00:50:51,620
 and and you don't have to replace twitter or tick tock oh like you don't have by the way fun fact

447
00:50:51,620 --> 00:50:55,940
 the path we're walking right now can you see here that's the tracks yeah that's from the that's from

448
00:50:55,940 --> 00:51:01,860
 the romans that's like three thousand years old no way that's from roman cars being being wow

449
00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:07,140
 yeah they went this path a lot as you can tell it's like you know like a meter deep in terms of

450
00:51:07,780 --> 00:51:13,460
 that's wow that's amazing yeah yeah that's amazing the the path we're walking is called the roman path

451
00:51:13,460 --> 00:51:17,540
 i thought you were going to say like second world war but it's a little bit older no no it's very

452
00:51:17,540 --> 00:51:25,860
 very old see and we crave it yeah yeah we're like wow that's amazing look at look at the look and feel

453
00:51:25,860 --> 00:51:28,260
 look at the look and feel look at the ux of that thing

454
00:51:30,740 --> 00:51:34,660
 it's great it worked three thousand years ago it still works today that's what we're trying

455
00:51:34,660 --> 00:51:39,460
 to build right like something that still works like in in many many years and totally from now

456
00:51:39,460 --> 00:51:46,500
 totally yeah i mean that's that's why i switched my whole online identity to nostril only like a long

457
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:54,020
 while ago because i realized okay like this thing has legs and it will still work like you know 30 years

458
00:51:54,020 --> 00:51:59,940
 from now even if it means i'm running the only relay that the only relay that exists right like i can

459
00:51:59,940 --> 00:52:07,220
 just i can just make it work indefinitely and you can't say the same thing about whatever geocities

460
00:52:07,220 --> 00:52:12,420
 youtube what have you you know substack and everything else and and i think that's a big appeal in the

461
00:52:12,420 --> 00:52:20,180
 sense of if you if you actually understand how it works you can just that's also why my my personal

462
00:52:20,180 --> 00:52:25,940
 home page for example it's just the static html and it's just like it's jackal it's a jackal site

463
00:52:25,940 --> 00:52:33,060
 right and it's just generated static html and the reason why i built it this way is not only because

464
00:52:33,060 --> 00:52:39,780
 i hate javascript and all the frameworks but i like i know it's about to last it's like just i slap a

465
00:52:39,780 --> 00:52:45,060
 whatever web server on it and it's just it's it's bound to work and i think we

466
00:52:47,380 --> 00:52:53,300
 also outside of the nostril community to your point there's lots of people that crave that and

467
00:52:53,300 --> 00:52:57,060
 want to have that and like we talked a lot about the self-hosting community right the local first

468
00:52:57,060 --> 00:53:02,820
 people and so on and but there's also i think what we are again making the comparison to fast food and

469
00:53:02,820 --> 00:53:06,820
 those kind of things there's a lot of people right now that are quitting everything and they're straight

470
00:53:06,820 --> 00:53:12,740
 up fasting yeah yeah totally totally food you can't do that by the way with digital stuff you can actually

471
00:53:12,740 --> 00:53:19,060
 do it like you can um you know like you can actually detox massively but i'm i'm still a technologist at

472
00:53:19,060 --> 00:53:25,780
 heart i want to i want to have technology i just don't want the technology to rape me and spy on me

473
00:53:25,780 --> 00:53:31,700
 and spit in my face and just telling me that it's raining right it's like that's but that's the current

474
00:53:31,700 --> 00:53:38,820
 state of technology and i i think there is a better way and i think the nostril has a big role to play in

475
00:53:38,820 --> 00:53:45,460
 it so that would be my summary i guess yeah i mean if you look at like the email marketing people like

476
00:53:45,460 --> 00:53:52,820
 infoproduct people they are very heavy on on email and they like people like ben settle like they say

477
00:53:52,820 --> 00:53:59,140
 it's there yeah because you actually own the email list yeah that's the only reason it's the only

478
00:53:59,140 --> 00:54:06,900
 reason it literally it's the only reason and what they do is spend literally zero minutes on social

479
00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:11,380
 media don't even have a social media because yeah the it's it doesn't matter if you have 10 million

480
00:54:11,380 --> 00:54:17,220
 followers they can be taken away like that only take people to your email list is the final destination

481
00:54:17,220 --> 00:54:22,580
 yeah everything else is a funnel for the email exactly and i think for people like that that have that

482
00:54:22,580 --> 00:54:27,060
 point of view you go in with a nostril pitch oh no nostril is different blah blah and they will say

483
00:54:27,060 --> 00:54:33,060
 you i've been burned before yeah sure i mean same with bitcoin right same thing same thing exactly exactly

484
00:54:33,060 --> 00:54:38,900
 the same thing yeah use use that use the magic internet money and and you know everything will

485
00:54:38,900 --> 00:54:46,260
 work flawlessly and you'll be rich over time i was i was um i was i was listening to uh you probably

486
00:54:46,260 --> 00:54:52,340
 know who nick fuentes is oh well by yeah i didn't know before either yeah i wouldn't call myself

487
00:54:52,340 --> 00:54:58,580
 a nick fuentes expert but i know i'm a nick fuentes connoisseur now i i i know the name i know some

488
00:54:58,580 --> 00:55:04,740
 memes that's about it so so apparently the guy was um was like uh the platform from like paypal and

489
00:55:04,740 --> 00:55:09,620
 this and whatnot of course like four or five years ago he has outlandish uh political opinions yeah

490
00:55:10,820 --> 00:55:22,580
 you you i mean i guess moderate uh and um and and the guy he disbeliefs on everything is a conspiracy

491
00:55:22,580 --> 00:55:29,780
 everything is like the cia out to get you and whatnot yeah he got he went for like um like high risk uh

492
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:35,860
 payment credit card processors and whatnot nobody would take the guy yeah and he ended up on bitcoin yeah and

493
00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:44,420
 he fucking hate me it's a total scam but for like now he i think he has a ca processor yeah yeah like the

494
00:55:44,420 --> 00:55:50,740
 whole everything you know but the guy was using it because it was like the only thing to work like

495
00:55:50,740 --> 00:55:56,580
 he would immediately sell it i'm guessing he would immediately sell it for sure but but he was

496
00:55:56,580 --> 00:56:02,580
 using the thing because he was cornered into it yeah yeah i think nostr will have a similar fate for

497
00:56:02,580 --> 00:56:09,060
 for for for a couple of people where it's kind of the the the the final the the last bastion the

498
00:56:09,060 --> 00:56:15,300
 last thing that works the last tool that works where you can actually yeah i it's actually surprising

499
00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:23,140
 to me that we didn't get any um there aren't any people on nostr that i know of that were

500
00:56:23,140 --> 00:56:28,660
 where they platformed everywhere else i mean i think before they join nostr they will start their own

501
00:56:28,660 --> 00:56:37,460
 social network that has been the pattern that i observed yeah i i think them it's a bit because

502
00:56:37,460 --> 00:56:43,780
 like just the timing of how what happened with elon and twitter and like oh no everybody's a free

503
00:56:43,780 --> 00:56:50,900
 uh free speech blue sky as well what i mean lots of people went to blue sky for you know like oh that's

504
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:56,740
 the actual green pasture yeah yeah yeah that's the actual free speech zone yeah for the liberals that

505
00:56:56,740 --> 00:57:05,700
 but but it's interesting like one of the one of the the interesting things that people um point to

506
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:15,140
 with blue sky is that um is that it censors right and one of the the the reasons why like i think the

507
00:57:15,140 --> 00:57:19,300
 second reason why people leave substack the most is that they don't censor enough

508
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:27,060
 oh yeah really how how so like explain that more it's like there's atrocious stuff on substack and

509
00:57:27,060 --> 00:57:33,300
 that's why they leave substack is like um substack it's kind of like the the pitch is a bit like rumbly

510
00:57:33,300 --> 00:57:41,060
 you know ish in the sense of oh you can come in you own your audience and whatnot um and it's kind of like

511
00:57:41,060 --> 00:57:47,620
 free speech uh adjacent it's like they are positioning themselves obviously there's a door to knock so

512
00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:55,700
 obviously that will not hold but they they did uh allow like i don't know like what the left calls

513
00:57:55,700 --> 00:58:01,860
 neo-nazi content it might be someone that said something pro-trump or something like that um so a lot

514
00:58:01,860 --> 00:58:08,420
 of people started leaving because of that sighting they are allowing this hate speech and whatnot in

515
00:58:08,420 --> 00:58:13,300
 the platform so i'm going to patreon you know a lot of people are leaving towards patrons and stuff

516
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:21,620
 like that it's the second most popular reason interesting yeah um which i don't know i i think

517
00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:24,660
 that's also something that is quite interesting about noster that

518
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:33,300
 it's not one big substack yeah it's your relay you don't you don't say i'm gonna leave email just

519
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:39,380
 because someone sent a bad email exactly you don't have but i think i think people didn't don't aren't

520
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:44,740
 at the point yet to understand oster as a protocol and i think this will take time but i think because

521
00:58:44,740 --> 00:58:50,180
 there's some there's some like like blue skype role plays as a protocol basically but the reason i think

522
00:58:50,180 --> 00:58:55,700
 the reason why people don't perceive it that way is because we are not building it that way you turn

523
00:58:55,700 --> 00:59:01,860
 primal yeah there's one experience yeah you join whatever and it's like this one experience and

524
00:59:01,860 --> 00:59:08,660
 sure if you're like very technically inclined you can select your relays and you can be like on the tie

525
00:59:08,660 --> 00:59:15,940
 noster it's it's not the sign in that way like the products the protocol absolutely allows for that

526
00:59:15,940 --> 00:59:22,020
 but none of the applications really yeah are going for this is more like the like the way i'm seeing

527
00:59:22,020 --> 00:59:28,500
 it is the relay is like a magazine and you subscribe to a magazine you don't quit magazines

528
00:59:28,500 --> 00:59:35,140
 because there's a magazine that you don't like you just don't read the magazine yeah sit but to be

529
00:59:35,140 --> 00:59:41,700
 fair noster isn't it doesn't work like that yet like most relays have most of the content right there's

530
00:59:41,700 --> 00:59:50,180
 like there's no again and i think that it's also back to back to the of the products back to the i

531
00:59:50,180 --> 00:59:55,380
 agree i agree but also back to the like it's a fool's errand to try to box content in the content

532
00:59:55,380 --> 00:59:58,180
 especially viral content will proliferate across relays

533
00:59:58,180 --> 01:00:05,860
 i i don't agree with that no no no no because you can simply just white list who can write on the

534
01:00:05,860 --> 01:00:10,500
 sure but i'll just hit rebroadcast and i want this to the most really simply doesn't allow you like

535
01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:16,260
 these parts to publish my relay only allows these 200 parties to publish yeah yeah sure no i just mean

536
01:00:16,260 --> 01:00:22,100
 like if something is viral one of the 200 will will republish it to your relay that's my point yeah

537
01:00:22,100 --> 01:00:28,340
 but if you like like copy and paste and whatnot i think that's perfectly fine yeah yeah like with a

538
01:00:28,340 --> 01:00:34,100
 with a retweet or like a quote tweet or whatever so for example on the on the the the agoda relay so

539
01:00:34,100 --> 01:00:38,820
 each each region i i do agree sorry to interrupt but i do agree with your point because i do have personal

540
01:00:38,820 --> 01:00:46,260
 relays and that's a very small subset of the whole nostril burst is on that relay because it's just for

541
01:00:46,260 --> 01:00:54,340
 my personal backup right yeah and i think like relay fits it's it's what's interesting yeah it's why you

542
01:00:54,340 --> 01:01:02,260
 you subscribe like and you can select select five relays which in your mind yeah they they are the same

543
01:01:02,260 --> 01:01:07,540
 kind of thing yeah and i think in the long run nostril will actually be something else entirely i mean

544
01:01:07,540 --> 01:01:12,180
 it obviously started as a twitter clone but i think the other thing that was successful in terms

545
01:01:12,180 --> 01:01:18,340
 of grouping was reddit with subreddits yeah and i think i think we'll have a mix in the sense of you

546
01:01:18,340 --> 01:01:24,260
 you will follow relay and you will have like relay based feeds and also you know algo based feeds and

547
01:01:24,260 --> 01:01:34,740
 and so on and so on but um yeah no it's it's it will just still take time to to to play out because

548
01:01:34,740 --> 01:01:40,900
 most people i think the reason why i mentioned that before is like if you if you talk to

549
01:01:42,820 --> 01:01:50,580
 i don't talk to people as you know i hate people fuck people man but if you if you read online and

550
01:01:50,580 --> 01:01:56,500
 it's like you you read on hecka news you read on reddit you read on whatever blue sky and whatever

551
01:01:56,500 --> 01:02:01,460
 in other networks so to speak what they talk what they say about nostril is like ah it's just like

552
01:02:01,460 --> 01:02:07,620
 this app it's this app for like you know crypto people crypto people it's this crypto app isn't

553
01:02:07,620 --> 01:02:11,940
 this the crypto app you know like and i think that's where the level of understanding is for

554
01:02:11,940 --> 01:02:18,980
 most people we're not at the hey email is actually a protocol kind of stage yet because i'm sure in

555
01:02:18,980 --> 01:02:23,700
 the beginning it was like at&t or whatever and i don't know what you know like the email was such

556
01:02:23,700 --> 01:02:28,740
 a new thing people were not able to wrap their head around it it was like one product by one company

557
01:02:28,740 --> 01:02:33,780
 basically it's what i'm trying to say right and i think that's where we at in the development cycle

558
01:02:33,780 --> 01:02:41,940
 of nostril like kind of socially speaking yeah but but i think the way we are designing products is

559
01:02:41,940 --> 01:02:50,980
 playing on that hand like like piling on on that perception of you to treat relays in this generic

560
01:02:50,980 --> 01:03:02,180
 way you know um and not like i i i see say for example you wanted to use let's say amethyst for

561
01:03:02,180 --> 01:03:09,940
 example to use nostril in this way it it's it's it's in this like magazine type of way in this the

562
01:03:09,940 --> 01:03:18,820
 release is like this this group of like content or community or group like it's some type of abstract

563
01:03:18,820 --> 01:03:24,980
 curation yeah there's very few clients to do that there's jumble right so hard and there's like two

564
01:03:24,980 --> 01:03:32,900
 more there's like a few but but but even even the experience itself it's kind of weird it's kind of weird

565
01:03:32,900 --> 01:03:40,340
 um and and again it's it's a it's a a self-fulfilling prophecy it's hard to use nostril in this way

566
01:03:40,340 --> 01:03:46,420
 so you end up using the the the the relays are as this generic content bucket um

567
01:03:48,260 --> 01:03:53,700
 and yeah i think there's there is a lot of work that we but but but i think we need to break with

568
01:03:53,700 --> 01:03:58,420
 this paradigm of this is how we like nostril clients work they they look like twitter you know

569
01:03:58,420 --> 01:04:04,340
 like this is kind of experience i think subreddit is a much more uh compelling way of thinking about

570
01:04:04,340 --> 01:04:10,180
 how to build up a client i think it's also it's it it will depend on your form factor in the sense of

571
01:04:10,180 --> 01:04:14,820
 like the mobile clients will look very different than desktop clients and this is already emerging this is

572
01:04:14,820 --> 01:04:21,780
 already happening yeah and there there is interesting clients i mean uh grimoire for example um is

573
01:04:21,780 --> 01:04:29,780
 there's all these clients now that are kind of desktop power user clients and i i myself for

574
01:04:29,780 --> 01:04:33,700
 example i use many different nostril clients and they're all kind of special purpose or many of them

575
01:04:33,700 --> 01:04:40,020
 are special purpose i still use amethyst as my my main driver like my daily driver which is of course

576
01:04:40,020 --> 01:04:45,620
 comical because it's the everything client basically and here i am talking about special purpose clients

577
01:04:45,620 --> 01:04:56,580
 no but but i'm serious i'm i'm what always what always um yeah there you go it can be pretty if if

578
01:04:56,580 --> 01:05:02,180
 if you're not depressed it's a very pretty place if you are already depressed you're gonna have a bad time

579
01:05:02,180 --> 01:05:08,020
 here you're depressed the environment yeah you're right yeah yeah next six months just just kill

580
01:05:08,020 --> 01:05:13,300
 yourself do it get it over right now it's like you won't see the sunlight for many months just just

581
01:05:13,300 --> 01:05:20,180
 just get it done no but i there is a client written by a japanese guy i can't pronounce the name like

582
01:05:20,180 --> 01:05:26,100
 at all it has a little it has it sounds something like it it has a little postage stamp in the top left

583
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:31,940
 and the only purpose is is to send a kind one note and it shows nothing else it's an empty text field

584
01:05:31,940 --> 01:05:36,660
 right yeah and it does things really well with like also posting images follow upload and so on

585
01:05:36,660 --> 01:05:41,220
 and many times i just want to write something and i don't want to see anything else right yeah because

586
01:05:41,220 --> 01:05:47,140
 if i open any client i'll be in the feed yeah and i'll see something i'm immediately distracted you

587
01:05:47,140 --> 01:05:52,820
 know and and so i have this as uh one of my um i have this as my my home page basically like i

588
01:05:52,820 --> 01:05:57,140
 open up my browser and this thing is in one of the taps i have like three or four taps that open up

589
01:05:57,140 --> 01:06:00,340
 and that's one of them because if i want to post something that's on my mind i'm just going to go

590
01:06:00,340 --> 01:06:06,580
 ahead and hit post i'm just going to send it not even looking at nostra basically right and i mean

591
01:06:06,580 --> 01:06:13,460
 and there's there's a bunch of other special purpose clients that i think are are are interesting

592
01:06:13,460 --> 01:06:20,420
 like the i don't know like then we come back to like what is another client but again me posting

593
01:06:20,420 --> 01:06:25,300
 stuff for example like this recording right now if i say some magic words there it's automatically

594
01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:31,380
 posted to an oster and then caster which is obviously you know an oster client that transforms

595
01:06:31,380 --> 01:06:37,780
 an oster feed into an rss feed picks it up and pushes it out as an rss feed and all this is like

596
01:06:37,780 --> 01:06:42,980
 special purpose it's not very user-facing but it's like special purpose clients do exist

597
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:49,700
 this kind of absolutely no no no oh another one my the search that i built and also also boris like i

598
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:55,220
 i keep a close like one of the tabs that opens up in my browser it's like the ant search for most

599
01:06:55,220 --> 01:06:59,940
 recent highlights what people have highlighted and i always every single day i discover one or two

600
01:06:59,940 --> 01:07:05,380
 interesting articles this way and and like all those kind of little things it's it's a read-only

601
01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:09,220
 client like it's ants can't do shit it's just like you know it's just doing search

602
01:07:09,220 --> 01:07:20,580
 no no no i i mean of course i absolutely agree with that and i think these special purposes clients

603
01:07:20,580 --> 01:07:28,260
 it's endless design space yeah but you have a point i mean there's primal and there is uh you know

604
01:07:28,260 --> 01:07:35,300
 there's all these products so to speak there's primal amethyst damas and so on and that's if

605
01:07:35,300 --> 01:07:40,180
 if we're being honest that's like for most people that's the first touch that's what nostrils yeah for

606
01:07:40,180 --> 01:07:45,780
 most people yeah and they don't make the switch to another client but i think i i think right now

607
01:07:45,780 --> 01:07:48,820
 that's i think that's also fine because probably like 10 of them do

608
01:07:48,820 --> 01:07:54,580
 it's very similar to bitcoin right like most people that get into bitcoin don't stay with bitcoin

609
01:07:54,580 --> 01:08:00,260
 and they will get into shit coining or they're fiat maxis and you know you you will we'll have to live

610
01:08:00,260 --> 01:08:09,700
 with that i guess yeah and i think i think we'll find i'm still very hopeful in the sense of

611
01:08:09,700 --> 01:08:13,700
 i realized that was all very pessimistic talk from my side

612
01:08:20,420 --> 01:08:26,420
 no that's fine i still think we're fine i still think like on the positive side i'm i'm actually

613
01:08:26,420 --> 01:08:31,940
 amazed about how well things work yeah it's probably because there's very few people

614
01:08:31,940 --> 01:08:40,660
 no but no but i really mean it like the even stuff that came out of sovereign engineering

615
01:08:40,660 --> 01:08:46,260
 it's amazing to me how well this stuff works yeah like i use blossom every single day without thinking

616
01:08:46,260 --> 01:08:50,820
 about it without anything it's just one more tool and i and i see it absolutely everywhere it's

617
01:08:50,820 --> 01:08:55,700
 integrated everywhere and it's like most of the links are blossom links and yeah and and just kind of

618
01:08:55,700 --> 01:09:03,460
 how buggy nosto was in the beginning it's amazing like like i think i told this in the past i told it in

619
01:09:03,460 --> 01:09:08,500
 in one of the conversations it came up like it's my go-to method to see if i'm online or not

620
01:09:09,220 --> 01:09:14,820
 it's like i i you know i launched my my nosto client and i refresh because i immediate i can

621
01:09:14,820 --> 01:09:19,380
 immediately tell like if new stuff is streaming in and coming in then i i know i'm on if i'm offline

622
01:09:19,380 --> 01:09:24,900
 it still kind of works but i only see my stuff that i just recently posted right which is great like

623
01:09:24,900 --> 01:09:31,140
 it's fantastic you're online-ish yeah exactly and and just like all the stuff that you've been working on

624
01:09:31,140 --> 01:09:37,140
 and just nip 60 nip 61 and so on it really really works like it's all the stuff really works and and just

625
01:09:37,140 --> 01:09:43,460
 kind of the clients became more polished and like even video and shit works i i think we've been on

626
01:09:43,460 --> 01:09:51,220
 this like professionalizing mode in the past six months nine months that where there is a lot of

627
01:09:51,220 --> 01:10:00,500
 very solid uh very solid frameworks very solid relays like i think we're in technically we're in very

628
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:04,820
 good shape yeah okay except my brother i'm gonna die

629
01:10:04,820 --> 01:10:13,940
 all right any last words before you take a piss no we're not gonna record this i i can only do one thing

630
01:10:13,940 --> 01:10:18,820
 thanks for indulging me oh thanks for the drink yeah

631
01:10:18,820 --> 01:10:22,820
 let's see if we can we let's see if we can draw this to a close

632
01:10:22,820 --> 01:10:26,580
 and yeah we'll have to we'll have to to do the other thing another time

633
01:10:26,580 --> 01:10:31,220
 but for now it was just a walk and a recording which is very which is great it was very nice all right

634
01:10:31,220 --> 01:10:35,540
 all right we managed
