The aim of the P2P Basel workshop is to bring together researchers and software builders to share insights and collaborate towards the sound and sustainable development of efficient eventually-consistent (offline-first) peer-to-peer systems. Examples of related projects of interest are Secure #Scuttlebutt , DAT/Hypercore , Cabal , #Tox, BitMessage , #IPFS , Socket Supply co., #OrbitDB , Earthstar , Willow , #Nostr , #Holochain , #P2Panda , #GNUnet , #Hyphanet , #Freenet , #Zeronet , #Retroshare , #NextGraph , #Web3 , #serverless , #maidsafe , #matrix , Other P2P projects that are based on stronger consistency models, such as Mass Market are also of interest.

Social Web Conferences

…

I am working on creating a list of upcoming Social Web Conferences.

Using a broad definition of "Social Web" that includes the ActivityPub, AT-Protocol, ATmosphere, Bluesky, Farcaster, Fediverse, Matrix, and Nostr.

…

These are conferences that I might want to attend. (And, perhaps you may, too.)

…

Is there anything else I should add to this?

Coda: An intriguing blog post on options for moderation tooling in Nostr;

"In the long term there can't be no content moderation, but it should be consent-based and decentralized."

Hey @rabble, would you and your team at Nos.social be willing to help us get a range of Nostr apps packaged for @fdroid?

Also, what's your take on the Zap Store as an app distribution method?

For our latest episode of The Decentered Podcast, we interviewed @rabble! It's an awesome interview that talks about Twitter, Secure Scuttlebutt, and the evolution of #Nostr.

"[Nostr] has the Zap Lightning payments and stuff ... we haven't built into our own app, because it's not a priority, and in some ways we're positioning ourselves as the non-Bitcoiner Nostr folks.

But ... easy micro-payments between users, and from users to services, gives us a economic model that's not advertising."

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The @rabble is dropping today! Due to time constraints, it will just be the audio for now. We'll try to get the video version up on Monday.

“Innovation Happens On the Client”

Another pitch for ActivityPub-C2S API. I would love to see this succeed, but the general consensus is that it’s still cumbersome to work with.

Ironically, #Nostr absolutely encompasses this concept, given that there are only clients and relays.
