Integrating Stacker News with the Nostr Universe

SN and Nostr are a match made in heaven. Here are some thoughts on further integration:

1. Splash Zapvertising Integration
Both SN and Nostr clients should consider integrating splash zapvertising features, similar to:
These platforms could charge a small fee for coordinating transactions, creating a new revenue stream while promoting content across the Nostr network.

2. Transforming SN Territories into Npubs
Stacker News Territories have the potential to become more than just internal communities. By converting them into Npubs (Nostr public keys), we can expand their reach and engagement. A portion of the monthly territory fee could be allocated towards zapvertising the Npub/Territory to the wider Nostr ecosystem.
Here's a visualization of how SN could interact with other Nostr platforms:

Example: SN Music Territory Npub
Let's consider how an SN Music Territory could function as an Npub:
  1. Automatic Crossposting: Top daily content is shared to Satlantis, Fountain, and Damus.
  2. Zapvertising: Promotes engagement, gains followers, and attracts zaps.
  3. Wide Engagement: Users from Primal, Yakihonne, and Mastodons bridge can like, repost, and zap content.
  4. Referral System Integration: Works really well with SN's new referral system.
  5. Content Aggregation: All posts are automatically compiled into an SN Music Territory blog for wider public sharing.

Benefits and Considerations
While this approach may not immediately make territory ownership profitable, it offers several advantages:
  • Enhanced engagement across multiple platforms
  • Increased monetization opportunities
  • Simplified management for territory owners (no direct Nostr interaction required)
  • Expanded reach into the broader Nostr ecosystem
By implementing these ideas, Stacker News can position itself as a central hub within the Nostr universe, facilitating content sharing and engagement across multiple platforms while providing value to both users and territory owners.
It would also be cool to add....
something like shipyard autoposting something that will allow you to see comments Nostr comments on SN WOT scores and an option to use your unified balance nostr wallet.

Very interesting ideas, Hustle.
I'm excited for whenever we can embed Fountain clips into our SN posts.

I'm curious to hear @k00b's take in these ideas.

In the short term, we'll make crossposting work better and allow territory founders to optionally pull in nostr notes, and maybe more nuanced features like thewildhustle suggests. Specifics are hard to figure out until we're in the weeds of it though.
In the long term, after wallets, when we begin working on decentralizing, we might end up deciding to make it somewhat of a nostr "overlay" but it's too early to tell.
In general, my main thoughts when nostr comes up are: it's not as easy as "this thing on SN looks like this thing on nostr." People who don't spend any time here think of SN as just text and zaps which is a mistake.

It could be cool to see a feed of all nostr posts that are tagged "#gaming" and then I (as territory owner) could curate which of those make it to the territory with a simple button click... just an idea.
