Have all the #nostr clients deprecated NIP-04 for NIP-17? Is NIP-04 still being used? #asknostr…

#nostr fixes this…

Reposting from a reply… It took me a while to grok #nostr- for the longest time the internet was viewed as being a better newspaper, then someone started to figure out how to pass structured data on that ‘newspaper layer’ and the rest is history. The current web was great…

#nostr is signed events relayed. That’s it. That’s the thing. Once verified, you decide whether to trust the event, or not. That’s your job.…

‘Trust over IP’ is really ‘Signed Events Relayed over IP’ - thanks to #nostr…

#nostr feels like the internet over 30 years ago, when packet-based networking (TCP/IP) started to take over the world. Now it’s Signed Events Relayed over IP (SER/IP)…

‘The middle doesn’t matter.’ - a quote that should apply to good #nostr relay design.…

I think NIP-05 is super-powerful because it gives an external trust context to an #npub. Some might argue, it is insecure, but that’s really a function of how the domain is managed and how you decide to trust. NIP-05 also gives a really good bridge to…

I love the elegance of using npubs for solving the #authentication problem. Having an identifier that natively supports encrypted messaging and signing can vastly reduce the complexity of login (#authentication)solutions and eliminate entirely the need to store passwords. But this still does not solve the #identity problem. If you…

It’s refreshing that nobody on #nostr really talks about (or really cares about) #AI. For sure, it’s a great tool, but on those other platforms hardly a swipe goes by without seeing a post on the existential threats, etc. of #AI. My take is that here on #nostr…

Signed Events Relayed (SRE) is as big of a deal as Proof of Work (POW). #nostr…

You know an architecture is right when it begins to use higher order components of itself. Case in point: my website in my profile is now: which is composed of my #nostr events.…

Depend on the internet for availability. Don’t depend on the internet for confidentiality or integrity. Use #nostr…

Another great example of a good faith effort at solving a problem that the existing web architecture has made intractable. Today, every app is its own walled garden for identity so you have go prove yourself from scratch every time. Identity verification is a great business to be in because…

Ironically, the best way to solve the problem of massive data breaches is to have the data out in the open to begin with. Relays can do this job. How you protect the data is to not view the data as being in a single container protected by a single…

I am still coming to term with #nostr having a radically different architecture that requires a radically different thinking mode on how you build apps. The latest radical insight is that the network becomes the database. Any database record you generate can be a #nostr event that is signed, relayed,

With #nostr, the network is the app.…
