I’d love to collaborate with someone in the creation of a service that keeps track of your web of trust, i.e. it monitors follows, mutes, zaps, reactions, etc and processes them in real time into influence scores as calculated using the grapevine protocol. These scores will be stored using events which will probably be too large for most standard relays to want to store. But clients will want to access these scores, either by API or by accessing the relevant events, and use them to stratify content. In theory everyone could run a personal “grapevine relay” that stores these large files, but in practice most users won’t do that. But what they will do is pay for a service that runs one of these specialized relays for them.

I talk about the grapevine in a podcast with hodlbod — I’ll post the link to the podcast below. Or check out brainstorm.ninja, which will calculate these scores (your grapevine) for you. What I haven’t done yet is build the relay to store the scores as some kind of specialized event.

Anyone who knows how to build relays and would like to collaborate on a project like this, hit me up.
