ETL to QE, Update 76, Reflections on Consensus 2025 Hackathon
Date: 2025-05-18
I attended the Consensus 2025 in Hackathon in Toronto over the last week and learned a interesting lesson about myself.
I have a talent for public speaking but it really needs some practice.
My presentation to the Hackathon Judges went very bad, with me ranting and assuming they knew what I was talking about, but the PSA I did later that day at the Polkadot Hacker House about Sovereign Digital Identity went pretty well.
But the issue goes deeper than that. It's not the public speaking that is my issue but thinking clearly. This ETL to QE Journey was supposed to be pretty simple, I got my Epic User Journeys and Question Engine User Stories which should have been pretty simpler to impliment but I keep getting distracted with side projects such as, running Nostr Meetups, learning the Bitcoin Lightning Network, the Consensus 2025 Hackathon.
Right now as things stand if I died tomorrow nobody would continue my project, maybe like 5 people would look at this blog and be like, this kid had a couple interesting ideas but that's it, a couple interesting ideas that they would never even communicate to other people.
It also doesn't help that I describe "The Daemon" as this semi conscious bot net controlled by a Cabal of Islanders used to obtain and hold power to shape the future of humanity.... and what will become one's AI companion sitting in the background that people can query and talk to even when you are asleep.
What are we building again?
The problem I am trying to solve is brain rot. Rather than algotainment feeds I want to have social media feeds that cut people off and force them to digest the media they were in the middle of consuming. An example of this would be reading my blog and having to write a 100 character's reflecting on what you just consumed. Make the Web interacting again rather than having the majority of people be Lurkers.
So as a reminder we have a couple things we are working on,
- My Wiki on NOSTR
- Knowledge Graph Connected to Meme Collections on Nostr
- Tokens on NOSTR
- Tokenized RBAC on NOSTR for my wiki and the meme knowledge graph
So what is stopping me from deploying my wiki today, we already have the SQLite file, we are just missing the NIP.
We also need a new brand that is not Daemon, MM, Meme Maps.
MM-NIP-01 - Document ID Based Wiki MM-NIP-02 - Nostr Native Tokens
Oh and how did this all relate to your current work for NIP-29 Groups?
We are working on NIP-29 Groups(Discord Styled Communities on NOSTR) so we can do the Tokenized RBAC without encrypting everything every time.
So one can query all their token transaction, then look at all the queries they did, then they can ask the Nostr Relay via a NIP-29 Groups extension for the events they already got.
Let's just finish the NIP-29 Groups implementation.
Let's do a blog post scoping out what we are going to do with NIP-29 Groups specifically.
