[Edit] I tried to get the slides and an audio file, from Constant's talk at NostRiga, about 8 months ago#
1.
Nostr's adoption thesis#
The less you define, the more you imply#
by Wouter Constant#
2.#

What this presentation about#
A protocols design includes initself a thesis#
on protocol adoption, due to underlying assumptions#
1:17
4.#
Examples#
Governments/Academic: Pubhubs (Matrix)#
Bussiness: Bluesky#
Foss: Nostr#
1:58
5.#
What constitutes minimal viability?#
Pubhubs (Matrix): make is "safe" for user#
Bluesky: liability and monetization#
Foss: Simpel for developer#
4:03
6.#
The Point of Nostr#
Capture network effects through interoperability#
4:43
7.#
Three assumptions#
The direction is workable#
Method is workable#
Motivation and means are sufficient#
5:27
8.#
Assumption 1#
The asymmetric cryptography paradigm is a good idea#
6:16
9.#
Nostr is a exponent of the key-pair paradigm.#
And Basicly just that.#
6.52
10.#
Keys suck#
Protect a secret that you are supposed use all the time.#
7:37
11.#
Assumption two#
The unaddressed things will be figured out within a 'meta-design consensus'#
8:11
12.#
Nostr's base protocol is not minimally viable for anything, except own development.#
8:25
13.#
Complexity leads to capture;#
i.e. free and open in the name,#
controlled in pratice#
9:54
14.#
Meta-design consensus#
Buildings things 'note centric' mantains interoperability.#
11:51
15.#
Assumption three#
the nightmare is scary;#
the cream is appealing.#
12:41
16.#
Get it minimally viable,#
for whatever target,#
such that it is not a waste of time.#
13:23
17.#
Summarize#
We are in a nightmare.#
Assume key/signature are the way out.#
Assume we can Maintain an open stardand while manifesting the dream.#
Assume we are motivated enought to bootstrap this to adulthood.#
14:01
18.#
We want this,#
we can do this,#
because we have to.#
14:12
Thank you for contribuiting#
