Had a discussion about this with a friend that recently got into linux (using arch, btw. x3), goes to use 'sudo pacman -S package_name' to install stuff, and after asking him a few question about 'pacman' and 'yay', my understanding/conclusion that it was permissioned basically, to have a package distributed through them.
I thought 'well nostr/dnn can solve this' where i'd imagine after some dev and setup, we can have something like 'sudo dnn_user_id -S package_name' (ex: sudo nabandonaread -S zapstore' where anyone can easily make a list for themselves or their friends, or a dev/studio/company making their own list and distributing whatever they want. That's for the terminal, and in a gui sense, slap in dnn ids (npubs) in the settings of the software manager and they'd appear, or rather, if you 'login' with your nostr, you'd see all of your following's lists.
So basically zapstore user app lists with dnn id (optional) for linux packages x3

Thnx for the share.
I like the idea of this project / it's interesting, since there's no currency and it's just proof of work.
Aside from that, the gist:
Doesn't utilize Bitcoin and uses its own custom chain (i guess think namecoin but without the link to bitcoin and no currency), no permission required (good), no bidding auction (good, but has a first-come-first-served flow), scarce names/IDs (in the eyes of DNN, not good), names are transferable i think (good or bad, depends on the individual), relias on iana/IPs like the rest, no financial benefits to third-parties (good), one unique acquisition per spend (keeping in mind that 'spend' is processing power and not money), medium operational complexity (requires people to run a node to explore its chain and get a domain and update records, not sure if they have a 'website' or plans for adoptions to make it easy for people), short domain name acquisition time (good).

Probably ya.
I mean I did enjoy Mario and Pokemon in the past, and my recollection of my time playing them is fuzzy at best, but I'd imagine in comparison to games released around their time was lower in awesomeness than them. Those games were probably the best out of any game then.
But as time passed, better and better games (imo) came out that outshined them by a great margin.

I think all of Nintendo's products are overrated.
Good? Definitely, even great too, but not "OMG TAKE MY MONEY" =P
I hear a lot of praise of nintento stuff, from old to modern, and when I went "ok, let's see what all the fuss is about" and bought a 3DS and Wii U, started playing mario, zelda, etc.
My reaction? "I like it. I had fun."
That's about it.
Good/Great games, but I moved on / wasn't compelled to play them again or talk about them again.
Ironically, what I liked more than an any of them is the Pheonix Wright series and Little Battlers eXperience (LBX), basically non-nitendo games x3
Regarding hardware, I do like the double screen, but that's heavily dependant on the game. What I think was better: PSP/PSVita.

Not sure if I should change the DNN ID encoding to something else than how it's currently done.
Right now we get something like 'nABCeAbsurd' (n-abc-e-absurd), where after ~1.5 years we'd start getting results like 'nABCe1Absurd' (n-abc-e-1-absurd), and the number always increases every ~1.5 years. Also, depending on demand, people might get two words at the end like 'nABCe1AbsurdAbility' (uncommon/rare, but it could happen).
The best alt i can think of, with human readability/memorability in mind, is a result of something like 'nAbilityStealKD' (n-ability-steal-kd), where after around ~80 years we'd start getting results like 'nabilitysteal1kd' (n-ability-steal-1-kdz), the number increases around every 80 years.
nABCeAbsurd (after ~1.5 years a number appears, and increase)
vs
nAbilityStealKD (after ~80 years a number appears, and increase)
(side note: most people would get get 1 or 2 letters at the end most of the time, so nAbilityStealK or nAbilityStealKD, but on high demand it would be nAbilityStealKDO)
(nothing is case-sensitive btw)
After asking two famility members (normies) on which would they most likely remember, easily read and share, write, out of the two following options:
nABCeAbsurd
nAbilityStealKD
They chose the second option.
So I'll most likely change it to that.
Keep in mind that this is an ID, a TLD (google.nabilitystealkdo), and part of a short link of posts with nip-short (.com/post/e-nabilitystealkdo-3qgx-f515d).
Asking here a well, which type would you prefer and remember?
nABCeAbsurd
(worst result within 200 years: nABCe123AbsurdAbility)
nAbilityStealKD
(worst result within 200 years: nAbilitySteal2KDO)

Don't think I shared, visually, the NIP-SHORT I thought of.
Also, after demoing the simulation of it, got feedback to realize I can make it even shorter.
With that said, what the updated NIP-SHORT brings to the table is...

Didn't implement it in a client yet, probably not anytime soon, but hopefully soon enough, and I (and I imagine most nostr devs with their clients) will see a significant decrease in the number of their users giving them critisism about a post's address being stupid long (scary, inconvenient, etc) x3

2026-02-04 20:33:55 UTC

I can't be there, so I'm hoping I can "finish" DNN and release what I have, horribly coded I'd imagine as it was vibed (and probably also not structured well as I'm no expert in the field), and hope a few start exploring it, implement it in their nostr clients, see if this fits with their ideas/projects in terms of being rid of ICANN-DNS (and a path to be rid of ICANN-IANA), and start a continous back and forth to make it better =3
What I mean by "finish", is to release the code for:
- DNN node and a guide to have it up on a server (not sure if with or without the updated awareness system, to deliver a similar value like what 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3 does, if not then 'planned updates' it goes in x3)
- An updated PWANS signer app, that fixes the currently broken NIP-46 (that i thought I fixed =/)
- The Daemon, to handle resolving DNN address and manage SSL/TLS certs for it (at least the Windows version with hopes for the linux version too)
- The Demin browser, which is a fork of the Min browser that has DNN resolving and ssl/tls handling for it, hopefully with an overview guide on implementing DNN support for it on browsers (don't think so, but will see, perhaps just a basic general one)
- JumbleDNN, which is a fork of Jumble that adds DNN support as well as NIP-UPV2 (traditional username and password, evolved, on nostr), hopefully with an overview guide on implementing DNN support on nostr clients
I'd probably also make a rough overview video for the whole project, and try to present the high value offering this project brings to the nostr and dns worlds, and aiming to help people make it 'click' for them.

Speaking of the blender thing, yes, that's what'll happen with deg mods as well, there'll be a tipping point where the quality and features and benefits are 'enough' for normies to start using as the main platforms continue to get worse. Same will happen with DEGA, and DNN.

And considering what I wrote before in terms of new benefits I realized, and the below text you might read, I'll also add another doc mentioning use-cases/applications (since there's a lot).
Side note:
I also just realized (so I need to update the doc with this) that assuming DNN becomes mainstream, a search engine based on it is possible, without needing websites to put special code in their website to be indexed by a system, resulting in the ability for anyone to create a competing search engine without relying on historical indexing of a single entity.
What this means:
Let's assume DNN was there from the start, and Google did it's thing and became the best search engine, though they started censoring their search results and modifying it to fit their and others' needs, corruption, etc (all of which happened), another search engine would appear, have almost all the same data, and doesn't do BS actions/behaviour like we see with Google, and people start using it without any friction, resulting in an immediate competitive strike, which ultimately results in a healthier system and everyone benefits.

I'm assuming the pushback will be "Why DNN? Why not X or Y or Z" and so on.
I have the answers to pretty much all of them / what I think are all the questions (building up a doc with all the pros and cons of each of the past DNS alt solutions and pointing out where DNN doesn't have their issues and how DNN provides even more benefits).
There isn't a consensus as far as I'm aware about the DNS and IANA stuff yet in the nostr-sphere, aside from there being the nsite solution and a similar one before that, though what's happening after that is what I'm making with DNN (human-meaningful/usable IDs/TLDs chained to npubs that then resolve records nostr events), and 'noDNS' by @npub1hw6…65gr (npub string that resolve records nostr events under a .nostr TLD).
The upcoming Soverign Engineering event (SEC-07) is specifically about tackling it / the DNS issue and more (sadly I'll most likely not be able to attend it, unfortunate since what I made is basically 'it' , along with the purpose of SEC-06 as well. I'm thinking of doing a digital version of the event in a game called VRChat, for people such as myself, and in general this is an idea I've been juggling around with for all nostr type events / tested it out a few months ago and it was neat =3)
(Side note: Arjen and others are also tirelessly working on something called Tollgate, which is (from my pov) mesh internet+nostr+ecash/cashu, and on a long-enough period could be a paralel internet / alternative to IANA (as n IPs), and DNN is prepped for the hopeful distant future).
With that said, I'll carrying on developing DNN, as I truly believe it has the best shot out there compared to all past and current attempts at solving the ICANN-DNS problem, and start contacting more promonent nostr devs to share their thoughts on it and see if they'd integrate support for it in their clients as I showcase its benefits, which there are many (including solving the relay discovery issue), with ready demos showing the magic (already demo-ed it a few times and the reactions has been pretty much positive).

Hm... got people who zap me fine, my LN custodian on this npub is on coinos, i guess it didn't find a route? (or coinos is busted at this time?)
Plan for ICANN-DNS: Attack on all fronts:
- Daemon a user can install
- Browser extension
- Custom forks of existing browsers to add support for it
- Start contacting to have multiple nostr clients utilize it (since that is its second use, a proper nip-05, user relay discovery, and the reintroduction of username/password evolved)
- Create a bunch of buzz (marketing effort)
- Start contacting multiple bitcoin wallets to utilize it (I realized this week that my solution (DNN) inadvertently solved a particular issue with bitcoin)
- Start contacting teams that develop linux distros to add resolves to it by default in their packages, since linux adoption is rising (I'd say linux would hit 20% to 30% of the market by 2050 from my guess)
- Start contacting the Brave team (Brave browser) to have them implement support for it in their browser to resolve it (aside from them finding it interesting and beneficial to their users, since said team likes freedom/privacy/ownership/etc, I'd also be presenting them with points to their benefits that would take take users from other browser to them = increasing their rates of browser dominance)
- Assuming success so far, millions (hundreds of millions) of users now has access to freedom domains, and because of the two points above, it'll trigger market-competitive dynamics, resulting in a domino effect of adoption/implementations in other browsers and OSs
Basically the proper actual success for DNN, in regards to adoption, is with the Brave route as the first rank, and Linux distros route coming in second.

Not sure why I didn't reply to this (i guess i missed it? sorry about that), but luckily rediscovered it as I was trying to find an old post, and also I guess you may have potentially gotten your answer from demo thursdays, but answering here just in case:
Regarding Zooko's Triangle, which I've re-read his old and latest version to make sure about my understanding of it and confirm the correct criterias, which is about having a string that a user can acquire where it's Secure+Decentralized+HumanMeaningful(Specifically 'Usable')
I've updated the DNN readme to include a section about Zooko's Triangle:
https://git.nostrdev.com/freakoverse/DNN/src/branch/main#zookos-triangle--dnn
Here's a screenshot in case you want to remain on nostr / not visit the link:

Regarding your other question:
local/individual meaningful names, connection/network data (IPs, etc), and other artbitrary data, for that DNN ID/TLD, are stored in nostr events, yup.
Side note / accidental benefit:
I just realized this past week that DNN's solution to Zooko's Triangle can be utilized by Bitcoin without needing to hook to and rely on a DNN nodes, inadvertantly creating a solution to Bitcoin's receive address problem, turning 'bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh', for example, into:

Hol up... technically speaking.... the human-usable bitcoin address can be resolved by wallets/users without a dnn node even, basically bitcoin doesn't need a third-party system to talk to to resolve that human-usable bitcoin address O.o ...

I decided to look into Handshake (for comparison purposes with DNN).
After looking into it:
Weeks to get a TLD? Seperate chain / not bitcoin? Auction processes that might skyrocket what I want (and dealing with said auction process)? Recuring payments where i'd lose it if I forget? Sell domains to others as you bought a rented TLD?
Not interested / similar to others.
The more DNS protocols I compare DNN to, the rate of my belief in its success increases exponentially.

2026-01-30 14:02:55 UTC

Wait a minute... I just realized... DNN provides an human-readable/memorable receive address to a bitcoin address without needing a nostr address.
Just do a self transfer from your bluewallet for example, and there we go, now you have something like nabobAbove where people can send sats to, instead of a long address string.
This just added a big value point for Bitcoin users without needing to interact with nostr.

I'm also thinking if I can derive shitcoin addresses from an npub (don't think i'll do it, but just document it for other apps if they're interested in doing so... or maybe I will for marketing purposes? Will see).

I stopped caring a while ago, for any country, and I see it as entertainment.
Years ago, my mentality shifted from caring about politics to nudge it to be better for myself or those I care about, to: Don't change anything of politics, but see what can I take advantage from it, in the current system I'm in, to better my life and those I care about, and see however many systems I can be in, or hop to easily, as well as what can I create and do to benefit my life and those I care about regardless of the politics.
All of it is just strings of a puppet, and we're all weak. Proper solutions take more than an indinvidual's life time if not 10x the time (if they can do something that is effective earily on in their life, neat, but that's about it). So, in my opinion, one must do what they have to, to protect and enjoy life with their loved ones or any they care about, before their demise, and on their demise, if they managed to do stuff where they can smile and give the finger to those that brought them suffering in their life and to those that brought them to their demise, even better.

I was thinking what was the best way to propogate updated data from one DNN node to the rest in the network, from merkles/hashes to deltas to timestamps and so on, and while all those combos would work, I realized I already had everything perfectly setup with node relays and external relays and node discovery, etc, so all that was left to make sure data gets propagated well enough is simply to add a rebroadcast function from one relay/node to the next connected nodes/relays when an entry gets updated (with limitations to not spam the network and have unessary reprocessing), so there isn't a need for me to do all the work and have unnessary processing (phew! x3)

At the moment it isn't (DNN isn't even public yet, but it seems like that'll change soon).
Right now I'm testing out various things still, one of which is basic implementation of within a lightweight browser (going well), and once that's done, I'd start implement it in forked version of chromium, brave, maybe firefox too, if i can, and have it up for people to use.
With time, as bugs are ironed out, and more people start using it, along with a few nostr clients implementing it, and a few projects having domains, a few posts here and there with a few videos, then I'd start hitting up the Brave team to discuss the potential of adding DNN support.

Similar with DEG Mods (and later DEGA), a lot of strong actions/plays have to happen, with a lot of high-value elements in place, in order to achieve proper success / takeover of a market.

2026-01-25 09:38:49 UTC

Here's a simplified visual presenting why, among various other reasons (other visuals), DNN will succeed / has the best chance at achieving mainstream adoption, in comparison to all other protocols, and the reason for a bunch of domino effects that would reuslt in an exponential growth.

Thnx.
It's a PWA nostr signer (indexedb for seed storage), but also has a wrapped android version (uses KeyStorage for seed storage). It's also a bitcoin wallet (derives a bitcoin address from your npub) where you can also start sending on-chain bitcoin to your following or anyone with an npub, and also has cashu/nutzaps (done in a way how I see it should be done).

Happen to talk to someone on vrc about nostr, gave them jumble as the best thing they can use to make an account and get started.
They made an account (nsec / no download of the backup file, just to see things), and for some odd reason, they said when they tried to post they were told to login into github or gmail (and i'm thinking where did those options come from???).
Couldn't see their screen unfortunately, but yea... not sure what happened there.

I'd of course publish a written guide on how to install it on a linux server, and guides for each different platform when available (Cloudron, Start9, Umbrel, etc), written guide and video as well (gotta make it as clear and as simple as possible to have that decentralization/adoption up x3).
Regarding the financial part, I'd pretty much accept anything (at the end of the day, I can just exchange it to whatever I want). One person asked me to add litecoin so i did, not an issue. So ya on monero, just need to see which wallet handles it well (as i recall it's not as straight forward in comparison to other crypto + it's been a while (last wallet i used it on years ago was on Exodus). It seems like what the market recomends for it is Cake wallet, which thankfully i do have it installed already.

Right now I don't think i need to update the DNN node again in terms of structural and core design changes, so hopefully it's "done" (and i think it is). I'd just need to test it on different servers (raw or as packages like for Cloudron and others, to make sure peer sync and discovery works).
Though I'd imagine the codebase is a mess, so basically I'd want to hire a dev to spend time on it to review it and clean it up, refactoring if needed. After that, with a bit more testing, I'd release the code and people can start running DNN nodes and the decentralized part of this project starts becoming a thing.
I finished the signer for it (as you saw in the video) and it's already out, thought I'd also would want it to be peer reviewed as well and code cleaned up.
Right now I'm trying to make a daemon/service-worker for it (windows/linux/ios maybe android and iphone too), and once done, again: hire > clean > polish > release.
Also worked on a forked lightweight internet browser and added dnn support for it (and it worked), so i'd want to continue testing on it, then release it. After that, I'd repeat the process but for the Brave browser and Chromium browser (for user preference but also for marketing and to influence a decision).
About the "influence a decision" part, the next thing to do after that is to start talking with the Brave browser team to add DNN support direct into Brave, with decent compeling points as to why, plus they already have tor support so they seem to like free and are for the user, so there's a high chance it's a yes, which would result in an instant millions of users having access to "internet 2 that doesn't break internet 1", and with exclusive sites only being on DNN (meaning only being on the Brave browser), this would create a domino effect (of trying to stay competitive) of other browsers adding DNN support, gaining more millions of users being able to access DNN sites.
(If Brave doesn't add support for DNN, then that's where that forked version of Brave comes into play, where I'd continue adding more value to it through different and more market appealing updates to it (other projects to be started) that'll will continue to add more pressure on the main Brave browser to lean towards adding DNN support as a result of more and more users using this 'higher value version of Brave' / many more users would request them to add dnn support + the other stuff. This isn't being malicious btw, I'm not benefiting from any of this directly, this is all for the benefit of the user, and i'm a user of course, so I don't think they'd refuse to implement DNN, since it'd benefit users, they'd just simply want to see a bit of initial numbers, like it being used by various nostr clients, and probably a few youtube videos talking about it and some forum posts / social media posts).
Aside from that, I'd also hit up as many Linux distros as I can for them to add DNN by default in their next version release / package.
All while that's happening, I'd want to see if I've done things right in regards to having npubs as first-class citizens instead of IPs, where the npub is the master address that leads to a server IP, not the IP itself first. Plus, making sure that DNN is ready for a future where people are using Tollgate or similar (npub based mesh internet, more of a long-long term proper end to ICANN).
So "What can we do to help"? Well, that's basically the whole roadmap, and it's up for anyone to decide how they can help (financial, or spreading the word among normal users, or informing other talented devs which may end up want to be a core dev contributor, or simply giving feedback/critique on builds from testing/using or on thoughts/decisions).

Yea, it just so happens that nostr was made by a bitcoin guy so it used SECP256k1. Regarding other crypto, I did have a section in the readme or whitepaper that there is the potential of expandability with other chains (classic ethereum for example or doge) where they'd have set their prefix to 'e' or 'd' or whatever, instead of 'n' at the start, though for me i see no point in it / there's bitcoin (most secure/decentralized) and that's enough (but it's there if someone wants to have fun with it i guess but i'd imagine it wouldn't succeed, and depending on the chain, it wouldn't be scalable).
So yea, as far as i'm concerned, this is the best solution out there in comparison to all other solutions in the past to now (better than handshake, namecoin, bitcoindns, nomen, ens, others i can't rememer), as it has the best security, cleanest, simplest, cheapest, human readable/memorable, provides an identity + a TLD (so unlimitated domains ish with whatever name you want), lightweight, provides secondary benefits, and so on.
About pubky, to me so far it's a "well, we have another protocol, neat. Back to nostr" and that's about it. I'm not sure if it uses SECP256k1 though (if it doesn, then it can utilize DNN / have its version for it, and if not then, well, it can't).

It's a vicious cycle, halp! x3
Things would've been easier a while back, but because the fiat/geo-legal world is horrible, gotta keep running (with breaks) until things get sorted out.
On a side note though:
I think DNN would be the hardest project out of all that I'd work on, and because of that, all the other projects will be easier to do (because of the intense experience and trial/error).
I think the next hardest thing would be the Decentralized Point-of-Sale system for DEGA (not DEGA itself), which would weaken payment processors' power over the global market (DEGA, unlike steam/gog/itch, can't (not won't) 'bend the knee' to payment processors, or anyone, if they they pressure it =3)

oh, right, you're probably wondering how this is possible / what's happening in the background:
when you make a self transfer, from the bitcoin address derived from your npub address, it makes a utxo, right? the dnn node records that in its data base (must be a self transfer, must be a native segwit address, and no op_return), then once you publish all those events, one of them is the anchor event that contains the bitcoin txid within it, and the dnn node detects these published events, sees if it has it within its db, let's go with yes here, and then it confirms that the publish of the even is the same person who made that transaction by deriving the bitcoin address from the author of the event, and if it matches then the entry is confirmed to be complete, where it would then render whatever you put in those other events to people who request it as it has tied your npub to the self-transaction you made. There's also no ID colision as it's all ordered / sequential with unique mappings (unique numbers mapped to letters, numbers, and words).
i probably didn't explain it that well, but I'm hoping it was understood well enough.

DNN is actually simple =3 :
1. Send money to yourself (using a native segwit address derived from your npub)
2. Publish 4 nostr events
3. Done.
You now have a decentralized ID to use on nostr (a replacement for nip-05's purpose), and a top-level domain (TLD) where you can have however many websites you want (it's like you bought a .com) at the cost of a few sats/cents, permanently, and no recuring payments.
Here's a quick demo of that those 1-3 steps + more (didn't go in-depth):
https://files.catbox.moe/l8b72c.mp4
All of this is lightweight, decentralized (well, when i release the code and people start running it), permissionless, very low cost in comparison to the value received, as clean as possible, provides a lot of secondary-benefits, scalable, cenroship-resistant, reproducible, human readable and memorable, custom domain names without worrying about someone having the same name (since the TLD would be different), and prepped to remove power from IPs.

Third-party code reviews (though i'd imagine eventually that'll also be vibed =P)

That's your sunk-cost to stick with one's vibe-coded project, still a lot of time and money spent on it, just not so much the development part, that's why I'm sticking with my projects.

Came to my own conclusion about that topic.
(Bitcoin is about money, anything else to it is spam. I don't care about knots or person-x or y, whatever comes along that keeps that idea gets my preference/vote, be it a good person or a criminal, Cthulhu or Winnie the Pooh).
I'd use op_return if my project was related to bitcoin transactional data or transactional privacy benefits, and dnn isn't that, so it won't be utilized.
Plus there'd be the angle of marketing for a dev's curiosity with the line "without touching bitcoin", in terms of not putting stuff in it, comes into play as a hook "wait, how??".
(It's fine on dnn's end as well, where averaging out 17 years of false-positive data on dnn comes down to around to just 2 GB in a node. If I get a spark of an idea that makes me able to even remove that false-positive data another way, i'd of course implement it)

DNN database size optimization:
Example: 300 blocks
Before: 50 MB
After: 16 MB
After after: 650 KB
(Of unrelated self transfers in the eyes of DNN)
Could make it smaller/zero, but then I'd have to add junk to Bitcoin via op_return (very tempting), but I don't want to do that.

2026-01-15 11:02:20 UTC

Realized that DNN doesn't need op_return, so considering i see that as mostly spam and doesn't full for any DNN need, i'll add a new rule to the policy to reject self-transfers with op_return data.
This will make DNN even more lightweight =3

2026-01-14 20:33:35 UTC

One bug fix led to another bug fix led to another bug fix, led to a structural design flow that had me brainstorm a fix that I'm now implementing in DNN.
1. There'll now be no rule, on DNN, that requires a minimum fee per transaction
2. Transactions must be conducted using Native SegWit (P2WPKH)
One rule removed, one rule added.
Reasoning:
I wanted to keep DNN nodes lightweight, and considering taproot doesn't contain information about the input part of a new transaction, only its hash id, meaning the node would have to store all transactions of a bitcoin block, resulting in running a full bitcoin node basically, but from a different starting point, that didn't feel right to me.
Native SegWit has send/input information in its witness data from what i looked into, meaning there's no need to store old and barely related utxos, so that's why only Native SegWit.
Regarding no minimum fee per transaction, well, because that information isn't found in witness data or anywhere else aside from looking at the old utxos, so considering that, and the min fee rate was 1 sat/vByte, i'd remove that rule. It's still a deterent to spam attacks of 0 sat fee rate, as most blocks are filled and that'll be more so the case as time moves on.
I'd now need to also update PWANS to derive Native SegWit address types from an nPub instead of Taproot.
With all of this, i think we're about to reach gold / no more fundementally breaking bugs or structural design flaws. All that's left is testing, and once things are nice, i'd imagine a code cleanup is in order, and then code audit+refactor where needed, more testing, and DNN node would be golden =3

The issue isn't a store not hard-filtering (not allowing them to be published) low quality games, you'd piss off the devs and the players that way (as we've seen in the past), but rather it's not providing the tools and systems necessary for the market to handle that curation effectively.

Simplified version:
"Now you can buy my game at the cost of the latest median average price of two Big Macs" x3
Sure some would do episode, but the majority doesn't.
A lot of products get their price updated all the time, sometimes arbitrarily, sometimes it makes sense economically. The idea here is it removes the 'figuring out the math' of what the new price should be, and manual input, to having the most appropriate pricing and have it done automatically.
This basically brings back the spirit of bartering, with money used as a measuring tool rather than the source of value.

I don't know if this would happen or not, but i'd assume that it will and that's why depressing, which is:
Salary stays the same / barely goes up.
Cost of living goes up.
So the price of the game goes up (to maintain its value).
The perspective of the buyer/gamer: "Man... I can't afford to buy games like I used to..." x3

2026-01-12 16:52:51 UTC

I'm curious what people think about this idea (because I think it's fair but also depressing x3):
A game developer sets the price of their game based on the median cost of a global basket of essential goods across multiple countries, resulting in a single global price (no regional pricing).
Meaning:
The developer thinks of the game’s value in real-world terms (for example, “this game is worth about two X meals”), which at launch corresponds to $40.
Every quarter, the price is updated based on changes in the global cost-of-living index. Over time, the price might move from $40 to $45, then $50, later drop to $35, and so on. This would be handled automatically by a game store.
Under this model, the question shifts from “what is the price of the game?” to “what is the value of the game?”

Regarding the DNN stuff, it might work, it might not, depending how i'm playing around with the server/node. That's why I have a fat READ ME button on its page.
For the NIP-UPV2 login, you probably won't be able to play around with it yet since not client has support for it yet, aside from my fork of jumble, so i'll have that client up tomorrow or something so people can try it out.
By try it out, i mean the username would be the npub, and the password is whatever you set in pwans of course. If you don't want to npub, but a short name like nabobabout, so it actualy makes sense and UX friendly and fullfil the idea of username/password, then that's related to getting a DNN ID. But yea, still works for those without a DNN ID, just with their npub directly.

(The 'settings' page can be found after you tap the pwans logo, where you will find the button that leads to it, which tells you to always-on notifications, and advise you to let it have no battery restrictions and give it accessibility power, if you want it as reliable as can be in terms of not opening your phone and app to let it do its thing if you got auto-approve on).

I noticed Primal used 'have the app play music on loop forever so the app doesn't get killed by the OS' trick. It's funny because i learned about that 2 days ago and opted not to do it x3
It's a shame though that only things approved by google, and the average user can't do anything about it, can only allow apps to always run and not get killed by the OS after a time.
Anway, update on PWANS: After a lot of back and forth (and complications because this thing is basically web+native. Honestly I want to do native only later, but it is what it is for now), I'm comfy sharing the apk for pwans now for anyone to test.

(use fresh keys / don't import your personal nsec/seed of course (unless you're feelin risky ;3), since i didn't update the repo with the android code yet, well, and it's been a while since i updated it =P, so you can't verify the code is clean/safe/etc, verify don't trust yadayada, will do it later)
