You know how a flat-earther feels when they finally realize the world is round? That’s how I felt when I realized with #nostr that data can be stored everywhere.…

The #nostr core requirement for 1:♾️ capability is sovereignty. For existing capabilities, the sovereignty requirement was never really understood or swept under the rug for more immediate opportunities. My belief is that the sovereignty requirement is equally crucial for an individual as it is for a nation state or any…

#nostr is digital by other means.…

#bitcoin is the global state. #nostr is the global store.…

With #nostr, everyone is their own superuser. This model is radically different than the platform fortress models that we have today, where every (usually commercial) platform ends up being a feudal system of absolute domination and rent extraction. #nostr flips the old modesl on their head because every npub is…

With #nostr, the network is the custodian.…

Have a look at - it just went live yesterday. Also have a look at login with Nostr DM - it is beautifully simple and I am wondering why I never saw this possibility until now. In short, you enter in your nip05 address, it resolves the pubkey sends you an encrypted…

Another thing that #nostr does is that it decouples the concept of a ‘certificate’. Shortly after the invention of asymmetric cryptography, the ‘certificate’ was invented which was basically a signed public key with some metadata. This gave rise to that very powerful industry, PKI, where they made you believe that…

Once again, I am becoming more confident that #nostr and its signed event model is the right way to go. This time around, the model has helped to clarify the distinction between #identifier and #identity. We’ve all been guilty of using these terms interchangeably, if not as equivalent. I…

The most powerful thing about an npub is its independent existence. It exists independently of client, platform, and most importantly, independently of any legal enforcement system. That means, with my npub, I can seamlessly transition between clients and platforms which I actively do with iOS, Android, Ubuntu, macOS and with…

Super news! IMHO, I believe that #cashu along with #nostr is the big game-changer. Congratulations @calle 👁️⚡👁️ and thanks to @OpenSats for the LTS!…

All #nostr clients need to implement this ASAP. Redeeming a Cashu token in one click to your Lightning Wallet. @calle 👁️⚡👁️ @jb55 @miljan @Vitor Pamplona (already has implemented in Amethyst) #Damus #Primal #Amethyst #P2NPUB…

Pay to NPUB (P2NPUB) Proposal This could be an easier way to transmit funds than zapping. The payer only needs to interact with a Lightning Address provider that supports P2NPUB. #Nostr and #CASHU take care of the rest. P2NPUB is simply: The LN Address provider detects that the local part…

Are the Decentralization Normies Designing for the Wrong Architecture? As many of you know, the EU is going down the path of mandatory digital identity wallets for all with its eIDAS regulation. Regardless of what you think, there is an existential power struggle going on who gets to control or…

Nice post on #nostr by @Svetski…

The best line of thinking for me about where #nostr is going to grow is that it enables a 100% privately-controlled infrastructure that can be built that does not rely on or impinge on someone else’s infrastructure. For me, that’s the big innovation - I can build my…

A ChatGPT mashup of #nostr and Lord of the Flies. You’re welcome ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nostr could facilitate social organization similar to what happened in "Lord of the Flies" by providing a decentralized platform where groups can form, communicate, and establish rules without centralized oversight. Here’s how Nostr’s
