21 sats \ 1 reply \ @lunin 28 Jul \ on: I built a decentralized Advertising Network protocol on Nostr nostr
I think I understood everything, but no.
Could you please tell me how the audience will be selected and what settings will be available to the advertiser? Will there be an auction system if two advertisers target the same viewer? What targeting options will be available in general? Thank you!
This is wild building a whole digital nation in just a few AI prompts Respect. The invite only trust system is genius. Feels like citizenship 2.0
Thank you, but this is just a draft. There is still a lot to do, and the hardest thing is simplifying everything!
network states itself is a big chapter.
The Four-Stage Evolution:
• Startup Society
• Network Union
• Network Archipelago
• Network State
These stages form the backbone of Balaji’s concise definition:
A network state is a highly aligned online community (startup society) with a capacity for collective action (network union) that crowdfunds territory around the world (network archipelago) and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.
why do i need to replace a human run government with software that mimics a human run government?
If you mean that the message in the thread is about AI, then I only praise Base44 here.
However, if you want to discuss the topic of network states, according to Balaji S., then you should start with his book.
In short, no, such a replacement is not expected. Minimising govenment is what I would like, and current tools already allow you to do this.
Security and anonymity come first; solutions already exist. All that remains is to implement them in the application and test them.
I see error 401 in the Receive tab https://stacker.news/wallets/67/receive/blink of the wallet settings, apparently the API has changed or something. I've disabled it for now
@k00b I have some errors in the logs every second, how to fix it, here is one of them:
5s [blink] ERROR failed to create invoice: POST https://api.blink.sv/graphql: 401 Unauthorized 5s [blink] INFO ↙ incoming payment: 520 sats
amount:
520,953 msats
It seems there is something wrong with the Blink wallet?
I spent a week searching, but I couldn't find anything like Primal that had raised $1 million from two funds.
Incidentally, the information on them differs; one of the funds is not mentioned at all in one place. Here are a couple of links:

and

Conclusion: all funding for Nostr projects goes through grants like OpenSats, right?
What should be done? Which approaches to the evaluation process should be used?
Right, so it's not a state per se? Your problem statement and solution remind me a bit of Rotary. Networking with likeminded people that want to make the world a better place?
Yes, that's true, but if you change something, it's not just for yourself, but for many others too.
I'll start small and Base44 is great if you can set tasks for it or connect AI to help organise tasks.

No, it was simpler for me - I hit a cow in a remote part of Thailand. My car was wrecked and I didn't know where I was or how to access local services. Fortunately, the owner of a nearby hotel spoke excellent English and helped me sort everything out. Similar cases have happened before, some simpler and some more severe, and the locals have helped in those situations too.
It is probably also important to mention that I often encountered requests for help 'on the spot', such as:
- meet someone at the airport with a lot of luggage or children.
- recommending a doctor or hospital in a particular city or country. these are requests for help that require physical presence, not remote assistance.
I can help when I'm nearby; it's not a problem. I know I'm not the only one, so why don't we help each other, including physically, as they say, 'on the spot'?
And yes, according to Balaji S., it’s a long way to the Network State, but it’s better to define the goal immediately. I did this without fear of scaring others or raising questions – and I have answers, by the way.
In general, this post is about Base44, which I am delighted with. However, for a smoother experience, you still need to connect AI to structure tasks and issue them in batches for implementation through Base44.
So that I could help you too, for example. What is preventing that from happening right now here on a networked community, versus what a network state would offer? And so that you can help on a larger scale, if you wish. What makes a network state scale further than a platform without the state? The exclusivity?
My personal motivation started with simple things. I once found myself in a situation while travelling that required a lawyer, but I was in a country whose language I didn't speak and where English wasn't widely spoken. I needed quick help, or at least some advice, and luckily a complete stranger helped me in the end.
This gave me the idea of creating an app that would put me in touch with like-minded people.
Not everyone can trust everyone, though - you need to check the person somehow. Hence, HumanRank was born - an algorithm similar to PageRank. In short, and with many assumptions, if someone has checked the user, why shouldn't I trust them?
Dating is a separate, complex topic in general, but the market is huge and existing apps do not solve the problem, as far as I and my friends are concerned. People need to meet in person instead of swiping, and everything will be clear over a cup of coffee after 5–10 minutes of conversation.
There is a lot more to say here. All of this fits into the larger scheme of how current systems do not solve many of the assigned problems and how current communities are so disparate that you still need to find them to ask for help.
Why do I need a network state if I can help people I like on SN, or another small networked community of my choice?
So that I could help you too, for example.
And so that you can help on a larger scale, if you wish.
Rereading my post, it sounds more like a press release for a product that's barely functioning yet. I got ahead of myself, sorry!
To be brutally honest about Base44 specifically, I'm genuinely impressed. I burned through yesterday's and today's five prompts, and the amount I accomplished is remarkable. As a former web studio owner, I understand development timelines and scope — what would normally take week was done in day.
Of course, there are quirks and limitations, but for MVP development? Even the free tier can produce something incredible. The AI actually understands context across sessions, maintains code consistency and can handle complex feature requests without breaking existing functionality. There is a secret, though: I am, of course, familiar with developing applications and sites. I also clearly know what I want, although I allowed myself to add a lot of unnecessary things. The most important thing is that I used Claude AI to help me create prompts for Base44.
The real magic isn't just the speed — it's that non-technical founders can now prototype complex ideas without hiring entire development teams. That's genuinely revolutionary.
It's still early days for the actual Shegby app, but as a tool, Base44 is already making a big difference. It's changing the way I think about building software entirely.
