Derek Ross
Derek Ross recounts meeting Stackchainer Semisol in Stackchain's early days and brainstorming a Stackchain website and app so the community could survive off Twitter. He explains that early attempts to steer Stackchain with growth plans and business proposals flopped except for the Stackjoin proposal, because no one controls Stackchain. After initially dismissing Nostr, he tried it again in mid-December 2022, bought nostrplebs.com, launched Nostr Plebs, and hired Semisol to help build the first NIP-05 ID service provider.
