An open, peer-to-peer Bible translation system where corrections are anchored to Bitcoin and translators are paid in Lightning — with no gatekeeper over the text.
openneo.org/read — the 87-book canon, offline, in your browser. CLI coming to npm.
A reader and a translator portal built on a content-addressed, signed, relay-distributed corpus. Live today.
The standard 66, plus the Apocrypha & pseudepigrapha (Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, 2 Baruch…) most Bibles leave out — restored in their historic reading order, with a one-click toggle back to the 66-book Protestant standard. Hebrew names, content-addressed with BLAKE3, offline in your browser.
Propose a correction, a council reviews and votes, a maintainer merges — and the change is timestamped to Bitcoin forever. Live in the translator portal.
On merge, the work is split — translator, reviewers, submitter — and paid over Lightning. No custody, signed receipts.
Sign in with one click — a Nostr key generated in your browser, or your own extension. No email, no account, no vendor.
A known council of maintainers reviews and merges. Only their votes reach quorum — Sybil-resistant, with a signed, public, forkable maintainer set.
Every count comes from public signed events — no backend to trust. Protocol AGPL-3.0, text CC-BY-SA 4.0. Fork the whole thing.
OpenNeo is a specialization of Nostr for Scripture, with Bitcoin for permanence and Lightning for payments.
Neo Ontology Scripture — an open-source, accuracy-first English corpus (85 of 87 books today), Hebrew names, every verse content-addressed with BLAKE3.
Content-addressed events on Nostr relays. Anyone runs a relay; clients pull from many, push to many.
Immutable PR history anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps, with Lightning payouts and peer review.
PWA + CLI: read, see change history and Bitcoin anchors, propose and vote on revisions.
Verifiable from public Nostr events — no backend, no dashboard you have to trust. Anyone can recount these from the relays.

Charts plot the cumulative growth over time, queried live from public relays — hover any chart for the value at a point. A number stays “—” if the relays are slow or unreachable.
Donations fund the translator payout pool — translators are paid in Lightning when their corrections merge. No custody by the protocol.
