Max Hillebrand returns to the show to map the cypherpunk “freedom stack” for real life. He digs into open source hardware and works up the stack to Nostr-native coordination (from relay hygiene to posting CoinJoin rounds). We talk private, scalable group communication – what’s missing, what’s promising, and how mixnets and layered encryption fit. Max makes the case for value-for-value as the funding rail that keeps builders sovereign and aligned with users.

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.
