Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Hello frens, Data engineer/analyst/architect here. I just survived the FOURTH ANNUAL round of layoffs at the Bitcoin+cRyPtO company where I work. I appreciate everyone and everything I have learned from here. But after FOUR CONSECUTIVE YEARS of layoffs (most of it due to chasing shitcoin gains), I am ready to move on. Please hit me up if you are a Bitcoin or Nostr company that needs a data expert (no shitcoins).

What open source will you pursue?

Do you know of any projects which need data analytics/engineering expertise? Even if it’s just optimizing SQL queries for an application, I can help. But analytics-focused engineering… I have not heard of or found much to contribute to in the Bitcoin world (outside say Mempool Space). Please lmk if you know of something.

@DudeChicken fr I would love to contribute. But I don’t build applications, I do data pipelines/models/viz. I can learn app dev but if I’m gonna do open source I wanna start with something I’m good at.

Have you looked into lightning? This is an interesting talk on running Cashapp's LN node.

gave a talk last week at @btcplusplus Berlin "Running the block lightning node", check it out https://www.youtube.com/live/7UH9o6SZPhc?si=ZDeWKGJ0RVTjKcVL&t=20116

@Jestopher is doing some cool LN work as well with Amboss.space. Rene Pickhardt was one of the first do do data science on lightning

Braidpool will need analytics work at some point. It's a P2P mining pool that coordinates hashrate futures between miners and risk takers.

Maybe https://bitview.space/? I know CDK has database stuffs CC @calle I'll think more on this

Oh yeah I’m sure you do! Any docs or area of the code I should check out? If you’re using any form of SQL database I could start looking for optimizations

Thanks, I am familiar with the project and got to talk with Bob about it at btc++ Let me know what you’re thinking in terms of analytics

Yes, good call. He is a big brain data guy, we’ve met a bunch of times at conferences. @Jestopher you hiring? 👀

npub13z3v...3fzc 2 weeks ago

↩ replying to Felix

Thanks this is cool! I had not seen this before. At a glance it looks to be all application code, and uses a Bitcoin node as the “database”. But I’ll check it out further and hit up the dev 🤙

You can try posting your service on [SatShoot](https://satshoot.com/post-service/) , a freelance app I built on Nostr. No middle man, no forced fees. Someone might jump on it, but you'll need to promote it, markets are not yet so liquid in freelancing (and other areas on Nostr)

Are you familiar with graph databases? There is currently a #wotathon going on hosted by @nosfabrica My project is still in the ideation phase, but the process of building webs of trust on Nostr is very data intensive, and you might find it interesting to start a project or join a team.

npub13z3v...3fzc 2 weeks ago

↩ replying to Jay

Unfortunately I am only familiar at surface level, I have never worked on graph DBs. Most of my experience is in “big data” cloud data warehouse stuff (Snowflake, BigQuery, etc), but I’m equally comfortable in traditional relational DBs like Postgres.

Still would be interested to hear more about your project idea though, hmu 🤙
