Nearby Protocol

draft optional author:cryptofolyo

As of now NOSTR can give me all the feeds from all the people whom i followed. The second type of feed is the global feed which is mostly spam and irrelevant. Proposing a third type of filtered feed which is a subset of the global feed from which i can get connected to

Ability to search for a hashtag in my feed
Ability to connect with Like minded people nearby me who post content with the same hashtag - Posts with higher satoshi tips appear first in the sort order of the filtered feed.
Ability to connect with Like minded people far away from me who keep posting contents with the same hashtag which is tipped with satoshis by many other people who post content with the same hashtag
Ability to prompt common hashtags used by the Like minded people

The ultimate aim or goal of this protocol is to

Discovery of the best author or content creator nearby me for each particular topic denoted by a <hashtag>
Increasing the discovery range of high quality content authors by increasing their kilometre range based on the total satoshis they earned as tip on that hashtag or topic
Posting high quality content is incentivised as the discovery range of the post is increased proportionately

Example

Suppose that you need to learn about setting up a NOSTR Relay. Someone from anywhere in the world may be quite an expert internationally in setting up relays. So i need to connect with that person if i search for #nosterrelay in my feeds. This person will be tipped from across the world.
Now u also want to connect with some other people nearby in town who already interested in setting up a #nosterrelay - So this person is seen only to all other searchers from nearby him or her

Challenges

People may start to tip themselves to increase their discovery range - This can be mitigated in future by Peer review protocol - Where the discovery range of a content author is determined not only by the tips but also by how many other authors on the same topic have acknowledged this author

Privacy and Security concerns

Instead of using the exact geolocation of a user - The approximate geolocation randomised within 1 kilometer circle can be used permanently as the user geolocation

Can we build a specialised #nostr client where the best quality content on each hashtag is visible as the top results.
Objective is to get connected to the like minded people posting under similar hashtag, Connect to the best resources globally as well as to the nearest resources even if they are not the best.
Helping the discovery of high quality content generators locally and increase their visibility globally.
Posting with #hashtag and approximate geolocation
Searching post for #hashtag posts with nearby location and show the nearest 5 recent posts with the same hashtag and 5 all time posts with the same hashtag with highest tips globally for the same hashtag with a time decay to decrease visibility of older posts.
tipping the posts by viewers and other authors
increasing the visibility radius searchers of #hashtags to view the posts with more tips
further increase the visibility radius for searchers of #hashtags if the tips are paid by authors who are already heavily tipped for posts under the same hashtag
Will this protocol increase the visibility of authors globally if the quality of post is sufficiently high?
