What's new with Stacker.News and Nostr?

a conversation with Keyan Kousha and Max Webster

SN Notes

• What is Stacker News? Reddit, but the Karma is bitcoin

• Stacker.News is centralized to simplify UX, more familiar to new users

• Goalpost: how do you build a product that’s as good as bitcoin in incentives?

• Keyan’s motivation, risk-seeking, working on the things that haven’t been done yet

Nostr Notes

• Paid relays

• Crawl relays, improve architecture for message storage

• Search - caching, relays, directories

• Skeuomorphic products

• Super “apps” and “social apps with payments”

• Nostr is uniquely excellent at developer experience

• Fiatjaf’s plans - super prolific, next act?

• Keyan’s “boredom” drives decision process
