Proposed by Nicholas Gregory, Ray Youssef and Antoine Riard This design builds on top of the new Nostr protocol for its peer-to-peer order book and relies on the Bitcoin blockchain as a source of truth for its Web-of-Stakes market ranking paradigm. Market trades are locked under Bitcoin contracts to avoid reliance on trusted third parties for dispute arbitration. link to whitepaper

Taiwan BitDevs would like to explore Nostr with the audience by generating an npub with the audience present to follow along. Nostr stands for “notes and other stuff transmitted over relays” it is a protocol designed around censorship resistance which can be used for social media. Nostr is a lot of fun and a great way to use Lightning Network (NIP-57 / zaps / LNURL)
(from Socratic #5) What is ordinal theory? Ordinals are numbers, like this: 804766073970493. Every satoshi, which is ¹⁄₁₀₀₀₀₀₀₀₀ of a bitcoin, has an ordinal, and every ordinal has a satoshi. When a satoshi changes hands, so does its ordinal. There are a lot of satoshis, and so there are a lot of ordinals. Two quadrillion ninety-nine trillion nine hundred ninety-nine billion nine hundred ninety-seven million six hundred ninety thousand, to be precise.
Discussion this month in Taiwan BitDevs LINE group about ordinals theory. This github discussion can help explain flaws in ordinal theory and the nature of ownership (or lack of) for arbitrary data
