Angor is a crowdfunding protocol for nostr and bitcoin. Dan here is building it. Kickstarter without middle men. Accountability is key. What stops the fund raiser just fleeing with the coin? Funds are programmed to be released in stages, time locked in a multisig. So if they aren't meeting milestones, investors can withdraw. If the founders are buying lambos instead of building, just cash out at that point. Permissionless and decentralised, no servers except nostr relays and bitcoin nodes. No third party's claiming 30 percent fees. The system is a nostr client scanning relays for investment object types. Allowing investment into the funding contracts and subscription to updates. #nostr #nostrshire #angor

Black Coffee from lnbits likes internet of things, but doesn't like the way it tends to work with centralised servers and spying companies running them. But what if your coffee pot and lights and smart plugs were nostr instead? Nobody can cut your machine off, it has it's own keys and encryption, you could even ruin your own relay to talk to it instead of using public relays. Remote control without having to expose the home network. You could even make it require zaps and so make a vending machine. Demonstration by sending lightning requests to the coffee pot on stage works better than the mikes that have been feeding back this afternoon 😆 #nostr #nostrshire #internetOfThings
