About this episode
Summary
David Strayhorn, creator of Brainstorm and Grapevine, joins the show to announce a major initiative to build a decentralized Web-of-Trust for Nostr. David explains his journey from neurologist to trust-protocol architect and details how NosFabrica pivoted from healthcare to tackling the foundational problem of trust that all Nostr applications face.
The discussion covers David's GrapeRank algorithm, a personalized scoring system that uses follows, mutes, and reports to effectively combat spam and impersonation, and how NIP-85 (Trusted Assertions) can deliver these scores to any client. The episode culminates in the official announcement of the "WoT-a-thon," NosFabrica's six-month hackathon designed to kickstart an open-source ecosystem of trust tools, ultimately aiming to make Nostr a safer and higher-signal network for everyone.
