#Vertex is now integrated in #SatShoot : - Uses 'verifyReputation' with personalized pagerank, and gets top 5 followers - Displays if current user follows any of the top 5 - Result is cached and user can refresh data on demand Users must currently top up their Vertex account credits after they use up the free credits. SatShoot cannot sign requests on behalf of users at the moment, and I don't know if I want to do that. It would mean I need a premium subscription system instead of #V4V business model I think as soon as @Pip the WoT guy implements a way to programatically top up Vertex accounts, that will be the direction. Users can then buy Vertex credits from inside SatShoot. #wot #dvm

Keep churning the BIPs, BOLTs, BLIPs, NIPs, and whitepapers. I'll be shippin stuff in the meantime. #SatShoot #BudaBit

Very cool project, check it out! Home Mining X Nostr zaps ⚡️🤝⛏️ View quoted note →

If #ecash wants wide adoption, users will need easy discovery of trustworthy mints, even niche ones, serving local communities. This discovery cannot rely on centralized parties, the obvious and only choice currently is Nostr #WoT . It is to verify not just that mints haven't rugged yet, Nostr can provide data on: - Uptime Reliability - Zap volume - Data on all audits so far - ... and kinds of signals of trust Of course this can be provided live which comes very handy! This way new users can discover possible new mints and make responsible decisions which to trust. On the other hand, current users are the watchful eyes over them, vigilantly enforcing the trust that mints were given. Bitcoiners often make the mistake of only thinking in terms of one system, one protocol, or maybe bitcoin and its layer 2s at most. What nostr brings to the table is a social protocol orthogonal to others like payment-protocols but very much complementary. Ecash has trust issues, and Nostr mitigates these in a simple way. Never underestimate the power of the authentic social layer, tied together by cryptographic proof.
