21 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxAWebster OP 16 Oct \ parent \ on: Swirlies are the Greatest Shoegaze Band of All Time? Music
Me too :) That and Evergreen. And Fingertips. Sadly I don't think Anton plays that stuff anymore. I've seen them about 10 times and never anything from that era.

BJM circa Methodrone and Pol Pot's Pleasure Penthouse has historically been my answer ;)

I rap! Or I used to ;) Time to get back in the game methinks

I've got a major project finishing early Nov. After that I'll have a ton more free time. I'll hit you up after

@TheWildHustle are you still making beats?? We should discuss a collab one day!
Given your taste, I think you would like Odd Nosdam. https://nosdam.bandcamp.com
He's criminally underrated. One of the greatest producers of all time. Check out these instrumentals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEeuhVx-fB8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFr-60C55hs

I've been a major fan of Wednesday for some time. Just checking out his solo project now though. It's quite good - thanks for the rec!
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxAWebster 17 Sep \ on: Tinycolor npm Package Compromised in (another) Supply Chain Attack security
Time for a new NPM / package registry using nostr keys? And integrating split payments as well! (which @getalby already has working I think).
60 sats \ 3 replies \ @MaxAWebster 26 May \ on: The Death of the Ad-Supported Web - Stratechary post tech
This was a great read! Thanks for sharing @Car
My immediate reaction is that Nostr is the (open) agentic web. Or at least that's where it has the most promise in my mind
63 sats \ 1 reply \ @MaxAWebster 21 May \ parent \ on: Which Relay to use for NWC connection lightning
Whoops I posted that logged out ;) Tagging @Alby as well here in case they can help
1 sat \ 1 reply \ @MaxAWebster 20 May \ on: I’m Derek Ross, cofounder of the GNI and I focus on growing Nostr. AMA! AMA
Great to see you here @derekross!
  • What killer app / use case do you think onboards the next 1M users to nostr?
  • What's an unusual or less obvious app / use case you'd like to see built on nostr?
  • Have you tried vibe coding a nostr app yet?
1000 sats \ 1 reply \ @MaxAWebster 26 Mar \ on: What are the most popular DVMs? nostr
There still aren't great sites for finding/tracking these. This is probably the best I've found so far. Here are some interesting DVM usage stats as well. It seems like there was a major surge in usage in late Feb/early March, but not clear what that was. Here's a new project linking DVMs and MCPs, which I think is a promising direction.

I love DJ Food!
And +1 for more "mail art" / underground zines. Can't wait for the SN edition to drop
100 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxAWebster 12 Mar \ on: One hundred of David Bowie’s favorite books BooksAndArticles
Quite a list! Bowie is such an inspiration - the consummate intellectual, artist, mystic, and entrepreneur. He's got it all. Two books that stood out to me:
The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes
The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @MaxAWebster 16 Jan \ on: Bootstrap parallel economy with data vending machines nostr
I love this!
I've long been interested in offering resources for sats - compute, bandwidth, storage, etc. And if you can make it easy enough to just install an app on Umbrel and start getting paid, then that could grow quickly.
Take all of the shitcoin projects like Golem, Helium, Filecoin, etc and build them on nostr with sats.
How would you test this initially? Downloading content from sites blocking non-residential IPs is the first prototype?
54 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxAWebster 16 Jan \ parent \ on: The dead internet vs the Lightning network mostly_harmless
Yes. Same with Kagi for search.
There's a large and growing contingent of us who want transparent cost/value.
84 sats \ 0 replies \ @MaxAWebster 16 Jan \ parent \ on: The dead internet vs the Lightning network mostly_harmless
Mobile devices are low-quality internet time, that results in low quality social apps. More productive devices like desktops produce higher quality content, but at lower quantity correlated to mobile/desktop device time.
This is so true. I recently removed most apps from my phone (including messaging). I still have a browser but may cut that next. So far, so good. My laptop time is much more focused and much higher quality than mobile time. And SN gets the majority of it...

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?
