I knew he'd been chipping in, but not the detail. I also understand he contributes despite having some projects of his own which potentially overlap. I didn't mention it in case it made it look like this was Dorsey's project and his stab at Twitter Mk Ⅱ. And I'd then have to explain it wasn't. :-) I'm glad I'm not the only one who's following it and is also on TUHS. Its potential for moving power away from the silos is significant. -- Cheers, Ralph. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

He understood very quickly that nostr is exactly what he wanted to be the backing protocol of Twitter when they started it. Alas the business side took control over the project and ended up being the crap it has became. > I didn't mention it in case it made it look like this was Dorsey's > project and his stab at Twitter Mk Ⅱ.

I can't remember his name, but I saw him on a video interview a couple of days ago I can try to find back for you if you are interested in watching it. > I'm glad I'm not the only one who's following it and is also on TUHS. > Its potential for moving power away from the silos is significant. Nostr is so important that we cannot afford not to follow and, to the extent that we can, contribute to it. :-) Cheers. Ángel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Talking of decentralised, I recently watched a twenty-odd minute video of American Jack Mallers presenting to Congressmen. He argued discussion of the Lightning Network should frame it as public infrastructure to transfer money without central bodies. https://youtu.be/SH_aCW-sXUg -- Cheers, Ralph. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Sure, here it is: Evan Henshaw Plath (Rabble) pivoted Odea to Twitter and was the person who employed Jack Dorsey. In Twitter he was a driving force trying to keep twitter open/decentralised. Rabble more recently pivoted his chat app https:/nos.social from scuttlebutt to nostr. They really get what Nostr is all about and how important it's going to be. https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=YhCfMn43uaA Enjoy it. > Talking of decentralised, I recently watched a twenty-odd minute video > of American Jack Mallers presenting to Congressmen.

Mallers' a cool guy, and arguably one of the best, probably head to head with Saylor and Antonopoulous, conveying so clearly the relevance of LN as the 2nd layer of the new censorship resistant permission-less trust-less global monetary system.
