Something like rideshares needs that to coordinate people, no?

True but it gets embedded on a nostr relay and once it’s out there who knows what can happen.

I am assuming the data is encrypted with your nostr key but if that key ever leaked you are screwed.

I get it. I'm not sure how else this can work though. Maybe you could just manually input a location to see what jobs are available there without it permanently associating that location with you.

p2p networks are extremely hard. While uber has all of our location data if something was to happen due to a leak maybe you can sue uber.

I think it might be better to go back to a taxi call service where you share your location one time for pick up via a signed message. That way you can control what location data you share and you make sure it’s not continuing to share throughout the ride.

I can see that working early on, when there are very few riders and drivers to coordinate.

Yeah but it doesn’t scale like Uber’s on demand system with real time pricing.

how else this can work
  1. Drop a pin on a map when you're listing something
  2. Client-side filtering

If spam is an issue, nostr has a hashcash like protection that you can (probably) filter on the relay with.
