Open and permissionless protocols are already winning. We're starting businesses, jumping over middlemen, leveraging trust networks to publicly attest to contracts, writing books, building shit. This is a entire alternate parallel economy, market and society and its unstoppable. For anyone looking for the details on the "contract" stuff... @Kontext and I used https://attestr.app to sign a simple agreement and publicly attest to our commitment. You can view it in the attestr UI here: https://attestr.app/contract/attestr-17ffc45a-161c-443b-8ca2-de42387cb694 (the UI is a little wonky, you might have to have the Primal relay selected). Here are the raw events: - The "Draft" / contract: https://njump.me/naddr1qvzqqqz2r5pzp3at8g4pxshh3nct5sdhpalqns69zspqnl6tqas6shuas7qa502yqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qpvv968getnw3ez6vfhvenxxdp4vyknzd33vvkngdpnvgknscmpxgkkgef5xgensdmrvgmrjdqppam0l - @Whitepaper Books 's signature on the hash of the contract: https://njump.me/nevent1qqs07m40t67ulashgk9ujjz5ws95u6fkvf803gh6zlhp5skefr749zqzyqp8rcde4kt78u276aprylzuag6f80tx9qrpzcut0g8ku29d3nleqmywpzn - @Kontext 's signature on the same hash: https://njump.me/nevent1qqsg3krpq99dkh5ath7068w8vvt6dw2dzj74atfz0q4hk7tj7thrkrgzyrr6kw32zdp00r8shfqmwrm7p8p529qzp8l5kpmp4p0empupmg75g9l47j2 Just this week we've had someone [complete a catallax bounty](https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfs2culevc47wv45q6frlppd5pd689cumnhtt6g9zsnwu2uv77rlspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyqh04fc4hw6xm4d7dd7634msqfndz9n5hyfms9u2mk6u9e3anpenzucehh8) involving a nostr publishing tool, and now Whitepaper Books is signing business deals with nostr authors using a nostr agreements tool. Any more dog-fooding and I'll start chasing cats! View quoted note →
