Demo Day Projects

Every Friday, participants showcase what they've built during the week. These are the real projects that emerged from our intensive collaboration and experimentation sessions.

HIGHLIGHTS

Blossom

A specification for HTTP endpoints that allow users to store blobs of data on publicly accessible servers

NIP-60

Nutsacks: enable any and all nostr apps to match the convenience of a built-in KYC wallet, minus the KYC, while supercharging the wallet with the same interoperability freedom tech users expect: receive money in one app, spend in another, seamlessly.

NIP-61

Nutzaps: Receiving—and verifying— zaps, has always been a weak point in nostr. Nutzaps have enabled a new, more straightforward and verifiable way to participate in the zap-economy.

“Any task in life is easier if we approach it with the one at a time attitude. ... To cite a whimsical saying; 'If you chase two rabbits, both of them will escape.' No one is adequate to do everything all at once. We have to select what is important, what is possible, and begin where we are, with what we have. And if we begin and if we keep going the weight, the worry, the doubt, the depression will begin to lift .... We can't do everything always, but we can do something now, and doing something will help to lift the weight and lessen the worry, 'The beginning,' said Plato, 'is the most important part.'”
— Richard L. Evans

“What one needs to do at every moment of one's life is to put an end to the old world and to begin a new world.”
— Nikolai Berdyaev, The Beginning and the End (1947)

Wikifreedia

Wikipedia on nostr enables a myriad of interesting and novel concepts that have captured the imagination of people outside the freedom tech ecosystem, including the founder of Wikipedia itself. Wikifreedia was born within SEC-01 with the radical idea of, instead of reducing bias in canonical wiki entries, a readily apparent pursuit, embrace bias and make it technologically impossible for a canonical entry to exist. Truth via the integration of opposites.
