It was an excellent presentation! I love the way that @k00b thinks about Stacker News reaching net energy and becoming alive. This is one of the best models for what a startup (or any entity/life form) is actually trying to achieve.

And thank you for the kind words. I too think that Keyan is one of our era's great builders - not only in Bitcoin, but on all of the web. I'm always honored and excited to be part of the Stacker News journey.

Graham the 🐐

If you like Graham, check out Howard Crowhurst as well.

Who are some other similar researchers/explorers you enjoy?

agreed

Great read! It's exciting to see ideologically adjacent folks discover and embrace Nostr. I like his focus on "nature's" many attempts to evolve the relay structure. I think this sort of structure is probably inevitable

haha thanks ;) 🙏

If you couldn't work on Fountain, what would you be doing/building?

How will AI change the way we create and consume podcasts?

It seems like music podcasts with embedded artists splits are really taking off - do you think this will be the first bitcoin/nostr native new content category to go mainstream?

What are your favorite podcasts?

What are some novel product experiences that Nostr enables? (In Fountain and beyond)

🙏

Yea this one is the most from the edge yet ;)

looks like mastodon/mastodon actually has 47k stars - so will need to add

I ran out of free lines, so it's missing ActivityPub/Mastodon (although it surprisingly only had 1.2k stars)

Fair - although I see Nostr as far more than a social media protocol. I see it as a new identity/meta-data layer on which to build all Internet applications. And I still think the comparison to BTC is interesting in terms of an open source project gaining developer interest.

But perhaps the new chart above is more instructive.

Based on feedback from @melvincarvalho, here's perhaps a better comparison:
