nostr

My take is that ‘truth’ exists outside of the systems we are building. What we are engineering are systems that have global consistency - nothing to do with ‘global truth’. For example, in #nostr there is no such thing as conflicting events - each has their own identity (hashed ids) signed by…

Hi, @Vitor Pamplona Is NIP-82 still ongoing? I see a lot of potential for this and may start implementing it for #nostr #safebox.…

Unfortunately, I think the paid relay model for broader consumer adoption is going to be a non-starter. People are used to being ‘the product’ and expect things for cheap or free: tv shows, email, etc. Eventually someone will figure out a #nostr on-boarding model. Likely, it will be…

In the interim, nip05 provides a trust bridge/anchor to the legacy world. Quite simply, nip05 proves that you have some control/influence over an established reputable resource that is associated with your npub. Also, nip05 provides an entry point for those in the legacy world to enter into #nostr…

Big running event in the city today. Try to get details. Local website is overwhelmed and down. Facebook no longer has news. Twitter, which used to have real-time on-the-ground tweets, now just has Diddy. Basically, nothing. A new way like #nostr can’t come soon enough.…

My primary motivation for these posts is to help clarify in my own mind what the killer use case or the killer capability that #nostr brings to the table. The social media use case we are all experiencing today, is ok - it is a great alternative to the other platforms,

With #nostr the every published event is a ‘verifiable credential’ This is the big difference between other efforts where the ‘issuer-holder-verifier’ model that is bolted on top on an otherwise insecure communications infrastructure. The fundamental problem is that no matter how much engineering, or ‘bolting on’ the issue…

NOSTR SAFEBOX UPDATE Lots of great progress on #nostr #safebox this weekend. An installation of a #strfry test relay revealed that I had some incompatibilities that I had to fix (fixed). I also optimized my event read/write routines which were causing timeouts on other relays. I am testing on…

I've concluded that #ecash on #nostr is vastly superior to any payment system out there and it will win in the long run. Now it's a matter of implementation and adoption. Now I'd like to tackle another area - digital credentials. It has become vastly

It’s interesting to see how the EU is trying to graft a complicated verifiable payment instruction credential on top of the existing payment infrastructure. Meanwhile, with #nostr, we have built a native network payment capability with #sats, #zaps and #ecash. It’s hard not to see how #nostr is…

Does anyone else see what I see? This is supposedly the latest and greatest by the Cloud Signature Consortium, but I see a major problem is they are still combining signatures with web of trust and this combining is a single point of failure. As I mentioned in my earlier…

30 years ago, Mosaic made it easy to read stuff on the internet. Today, #nostr now makes it easy to trust stuff on the internet. Why? Back in the day, the browser separated content from presentation, and the content containers (i.e., websites) were open by default with hyperlinks. Fast…
