RUNSTR Season II Leaderboard: January 3rd (10AM Eastern Standard Time)

RUNSTR: The Bitcoin Powered Fitness App (Privacy Breakdown)

**No GPS Storage Architecture**

RUNSTR uses a memory-only GPS architecture. During your workout, GPS coordinates flow through the app solely to calculate distance and elevation—they're never written to permanent storage. GPS points exist only in RAM while the workout is active, used for real-time distance computation via the Haversine formula. 

The moment your workout ends, all coordinates are immediately discarded—we literally set the array to empty (cachedGpsPoints = []). What remains is only the aggregate data: your total distance, duration, elevation gain, and split times. There's no database of routes, no history of where you've been, nothing that could reconstruct your path.

**What We Publish to Nostr**

When you choose to save a workout to Nostr (kind 1301 event), we publish only summary metrics: "ran 5.2km in 30:45 with 50m elevation gain." We include the number of GPS data points collected (to indicate it was GPS-tracked vs manual entry), but not the points themselves. 

Your split times show pace per kilometer, not locations. The published event tells the world what you accomplished athletically, with zero information about where you did it. Someone viewing your workout on Nostr learns you ran a fast 5K—they can't learn it was through your neighborhood, past your workplace, or along your daily commute.

**No Central Database**

Unlike traditional fitness apps that upload your routes to company servers, RUNSTR has no backend database at all. We're built on pure Nostr—a decentralized protocol where you control your own data. Your workouts are signed with your own keys and published to relays you choose. We never see your GPS data because there's no RUNSTR server to send it to. The app runs entirely on your device, querying public Nostr relays for leaderboard data. When you compete in a team challenge, we query kind 1301 events from team members' public workout posts—we're aggregating publicly shared summaries, not collecting private
location data.

**Local-First Health Data**

Personal metrics like height, weight, and age are completely optional and stay strictly on your device. They're used only for local calculations like VO2 Max estimation and fitness age—none of this is ever
published to Nostr. Your health profile lives in your phone's local storage, invisible to RUNSTR, invisible to Nostr relays, invisible to everyone. Even route names (like "Park Loop" or "Lake Trail") that you create for organizing workouts are just text labels stored locally—they contain no GPS data and are never published. Weather conditions captured during workouts? Local only. Body composition analytics? Calculated and stored on-device exclusively.

**User Control Philosophy**

Everything in RUNSTR is opt-in. Workouts stay private on your device until you explicitly tap "Save to Nostr" or "Post to Nostr." You control exactly what gets published and when. Even then, you're publishing workout achievements—not surveillance data. We've deliberately made it impossible to expose sensitive location information because we simply don't retain it. The app can't share what it doesn't have. This isn't just a privacy policy promise; it's architectural. Combined with Nostr's pseudonymous accounts (just an npub, no email or phone required) and Bitcoin Lightning for anonymous payments, RUNSTR provides genuine privacy-by-design for fitness tracking. Your routes stay between you and the road.

 |--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | "Do you store my running routes?"          | No. GPS coordinates are discarded when workout ends.                                |
 | "Can you see where I run?"                 | No. We have no backend server. Data stays on your device.                           |
 | "Is there a map of my route?"              | No. We don't store or display route maps—GPS is used only for distance calculation. |
 | "What gets published to Nostr?"            | Distance, time, pace, splits, elevation—no coordinates.                             |
 | "Do you know my home address?"             | No. We never store or transmit location data.                                       |
 | "What about HealthKit data?"               | Imported locally, you choose what to publish.                                       |
 | "Do you store my height/weight?"           | Only locally if you enter it. Never published.                                      |
 | "Can competition organizers see my route?" | No. They only see your published distance/time.                                     |

And Prospera looks really cool btw.

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua Fight Discussion Thread

Cje95

If Jake Paul wins its because we live in a simulation 

Nice, I was a Frozen throne guy, playing custom games like Dota and Fortress survival in pc cafe's. 

Chess sets are underrated.

El Classico. 

If anything the cheating allegations definitely makes things more dramatic when they play each other. 

I was a fan of e-sports back in the day, so its cool seeing names like team liquid get into the chess mix. 



I've been getting into chess more recently. I'm a fan of Titled Tuesday and have been sucked into the drama of the chess world. This is a breakdown for people who don't know:

**The Top Players**

Magnus is the undisputed world number 1 and has been for a few years, number 2 is Hikaru, then after that it becomes debatable.

**How the Game is Changing**

The formats are pretty fun. In each of these tournaments the time conditions drastically change how the game is played. Freestyle chess has been quoted as being the future of chess. 

Streaming and e-sport culture is significantly changing chess. Chess.com have chess bots that the best players in the world can't beat. 12 year olds are beating grandmasters online, there are constantly tournaments to watch. The chess esports world cup is coming, and players are trying to qualify for it by placing high in online chess tournaments.

The evaluation bar lets onlookers know who is winning vs losing by the computer's standards. The eval bar is invisible to those playing, so the audience might oooh or aaaaah when a certain move is played, or you'll see the bar dance between saying white has 100% chance of victory to saying white is completely hopeless 3 moves later.

**The Drama and Personalities**

There are a bunch of antics like Magnus putting his finger to his mouth and hushing the crowd. Hikaru winning a speed chess tournament, taking the opponent's king, throwing it into the crowd and waving the american flag to cheers and applause and music. There are villains like Hans Niemann, there are heroes like Vishy Anand. People have nicknames like "The Madman." People are still creating new moves like "The Cow opening."

**My Experience**

It takes 5 minutes to play a game of speed chess online. And as a noob or someone who doesn't have the time to be studying openings and pawn structures and whatnot, you typically have to rely on your blind intuition and focus on putting your opponent in positions to where they need to think. I win most of my games by a method the chess world calls "Dirty Dirty Flagging" - it's when you win because your opponent ran out of time. Follow me on chess.com if you want to get whooped (I'm thewildhustle over there as well)

**Conclusion**

The thing about modern chess is that it's actually entertaining now. You don't need to be a grandmaster or even understand half of what's happening to get sucked in. The drama, the trash talk, the personalities - it's all there. And if you want to play? Just hop online, lose a bunch of games in 5 minutes each, and slowly get better through pure trial and error. It's never been easier to be part of the chess world, whether you're watching the pros battle it out for championships or just trying to flag some random person on the internet before your coffee gets cold.
