Oddbean new post about login | logout Good morning… that TikTok vid I made about #Nostr is popping off, but riddle me this: why do people keep jumping in my comments claiming Nostr was made by the CIA? 🤨 it just doesn’t seem controllable enough for those folks.
It’s possible I just stumbled upon the paranoid crowd…
It's good to be skeptical. Verify. The apps are open-source and the protocol is open-source https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips I built my own client and relay so I know the CIA isn't involved in that. You could build your own too.
Well. CIA will say the same - the CIA isn't involved. 🤓
I didn't say to use my app. I said to build your own. Only then can you know the CIA isn't involved.
Let me add that except for DMs (which probably shouldn't be part of nostr), nostr isn't about secrecy. It doesn't matter if the CIA is involved. As long as your notes get out there. The point is to be public and not be censored, not to be private. If you want privacy you need a different tool.
“You keep saying these words… I do not think they mean what you think they mean…” 😅 https://m.primal.net/HkBg.jpg
Here’s one of the three letter invokers- ol’ CheeseSteak. Lol https://m.primal.net/HkBr.jpg
Link to video? Or perhaps upload it so we can view here pls
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTR9AW1/ Can I upload videos directly? I heard someone say only embeds?
Maybe upload at nostr.build or similar hosts
Media hosting is coming, we just haven't standardized on anything yet. Torrents could work, nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq35amnwvaz7tms09exzmtfvshxv6tpw34xze3wvdhk6tcprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuargv4ekzmt9vdshgtnfduhsqgpxdq27pjfppharynrvhg6h8v2taeya5ssf49zkl9yyu5gxe4qg55jklmqa is working on something called blossom that might work well. BTW, you should try coracle.social (I wrote it)
How will the media hosting work. Is the initial idea WebTorreBT based/related?
OK Jessica well here’s the thing … I’m a retired Fed I admit to that I have from the beginning because I believe in being honest with people I hold no shame I have a history. I have a life and I see seek to do better now. 🧘🏻♀️🙏 If you go back far enough in history, you’ll see that most of the advancements in history came via the what …. Times of war. Sadly 😭 That’s a deep banger for Those in the back Look who built the Internet look who created it look who funded it follow the money Look up Aaron Swartz look up, creative Commons follow the money Make your own choices
I just heard about #Nostr today because of your TikTok! So glad I came across it. Now to figure out how it works haha
Haha same here.. I am lost.. but hopefully more ppl migrate here.
Everyone’s a spook 😂 https://i.imgflip.com/8hmpkq.jpg
Welcome and glad you made the video!
Very well done Jessica! @fiatjaf is the head of the CIA. But this should remain a secret. 👀🤣
Lol it's just a knee jerk reactionary reflex to say the CIA or similar is responsible for such and such. It's probably projection from tik Tok peoples subconsciously realizing they are using a heavily controlled app by intelligence agencies... Source? Trust me bro 😈🤙🏽.
Jess! I just saw your TikTok video and it's amazing. You truly understand Nostr and you outlined Nostr features in layman terms. I love it. Thank you for your work on this and spreading the purple word! Let's go! 🔥🔥🔥
We use Bitcoin here which - as everybody knows - was also created by the CIA, so it just makes sense 😂

Nicely done, bravo.
Nostr was created by our friend @fiatjaf and you can verify it on GitHub:) Welcome!
Everything is made by the CIA nowadays 🫣🤭
They get all the credit 🤣
Appreciate your post! Been here a year and never heard that. I’d say many of us appreciate privacy, some share more than others. 🤷🏻 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33746360
Atleast they are gonna use #nostr😂
Funny that someone on TikTok is worried about surveillance.
It was the rose colored glasses... But f the paranoid, they're prolly the real psyops... Nostriches salute you!
They'll say everything was made by a 3 letter haha.
It’s the damn CIA agent @fiatjaf 😂
Even if it was, I'd thank them for doing such a good job.
Indeed. Like the code is verifiable. Wouldnt matter who made it if the tech is good.
You famous now. 👐
Internet famous! 😅
Lol so the people using a CCP app are worried about the CIA? hmmm weird flex
Doesn’t hurt to use a vpn. All the relays you’re connecting to have your ip address if that’s of any concern
Here's a great tool for helping new ppl get started with #Nostr https://nostr-resources.com
Here is the Tik Tok video that might of unboarded some new people to Nostr.

Welcome to the fud swamp. We have boats
Everything's gotta be a conspiracy, even when (especially when?) it would make zero logical sense. I say this as someone who loves me some good conspiracy theories.
Good job
Awesome video!!! Thank you Jessica 🙏🏻
That’s what daddy always said
But nostr *was* made by the CIA. Cringe, introverted autists.
Once CIA Always CIA
really the CIA is so deeply involved in fabricating social movements it's hard to know what is what, and people with immunoneurological disorders are prone to see connections due to reasons that usually don't make sense these same people can't distinguish between a color revolution and an uprising so it is simple to point out that this is just a broad stroke pattern match that lacks depth
Here’s the creator @fiatjaf ask him 😉
Going OK about? Leukaemia or whatever killed him. https://www.yahoo.com/news/uk-government-unveils-extremism-definition-002347249.html
Cocaine is hell of a drug, but why are public servants cracking?
How the young lady is a factor here unless going the white whores predicament as a good blowing agent?
Anything's possible. The internet was created by #DARPA. I go by the technology. Is it good. Is it useful. Does it fix a problem. The #Nostr technology seems good. The evolution of social media and the internet. That's all that really concerns me. #Bitcoin is much the same. The evolution and perfection of hard money, and not a minute to soon..💎💜🧡🦅🗽😊🌎
it is a classic misdirection used by statists always to attribute great inventions to the government when scientists who were being paid by the government made the discoveries this is the same false argument that some bitcoin maxipads like to use against people who are working in association with shitcoin projects, it's lazy thinking, and untrue the people bumble into their position and the genius is granted by God, and inevitably sometimes that is gonna happen with extortion money and scam profits equally as any other source, probably the bias is more towards this kind of mechanism because the fiat profit chasing VCs are looking for the things that they can launch, then sell off before they start to incur maintenance costs
Great video!
Stockholm Syndrome. They fear hope.
Peeped the TikTok comments. Normies have a long way to go - they seem intimidated.
Yeah the comments have been really interesting. A lot of not understanding. Definitely more bullying than I usually attract but that’s sometimes how people react (with insults) when they are too insecure to admit they don’t understand something. It’s not personal but it is very interesting.
How did u post a 6 min video on nostr? Tried uploading a 30 sec clip and it keeps failing. Do u use a paid relay for storing your videos?
I posted it to TikTok and put the link here. From what I understand only certain clients allow direct video upload (like flare.pub?) - I’m still new here 😄
I paid for personal storage on @nostr.build so I can upload videos myself.
https://nostr.build/ is good site for uploading videos and you can buy more space for your uploads if you need that sort of thing
Direct upload can be easily done from clients like #Damus or #Amethyst and generally they use nostr.build as source to upload the video and give you a link to put on the note.
Nostr.build acct removes video size limits. We are integrated with most clients also. https://nostr.build/plans
Welcome to the future
Thank you!! It really is exciting
Who this lady and why is she wearing orange glasses
Who is this replier and why are they talking about me in 3rd person? 😅 orange glasses are to prevent migraines 🫶
I might need one of those
Great job with this vid. I will share it multiple times. Please do a follow up in the future and talk about zaps, value for value, and that fact that the government can’t get control of the “centralized management” and coerce them into censorship & and political warfare. There is a lot to explain. You are doing it right!
If they like CCCP-made TikTok they're gonna love CIA-made Nostr
I think those tinted glasses are going to ruin your color vision. And welcome!
😅 more than the blue backlight on my device screens? I only use them on a computer 🤙
How did you discover Nostr?
I think someone in the comments on her TikTok video mentioned #Nostr
Can I see the video without being on tickytocky?
I believe you can x-out the login prompt and just watch it in browser.
As long as it works the same and is censorship free I dont care who makes it. Everything posted is public anyways. 😅 nostr:nevent1qqsrx2f932xtw2pc7wf6yj6m6ytc9p2ual0dn7y5m28aqrxgcm89czcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqxwu6j8cgmnxy02jvnnqr3qae0scf6kd4ekkmgv3ejdcr2teg77dqvzqqqqqqytgsfqd
