# **Likes and views are great, but how about earning some money?**

If you're someone who values your time and effort, you might be curious about the buzz surrounding the new NOSTR web and how everyone is getting paid on it. So, what exactly is NOSTR?

### **What is NOSTR?**

NOSTR is revolutionizing the way we interact online. It offers content creators, curators, and even commenters with an easy way to earn real bitcoin for their contributions, while simplifying the content-sharing process. NOSTR is a communication protocol that enables modern social media apps to provide users with a seamless multi-app experience, where content only needs to be posted once to be viewed anywhere.

Say goodbye to the hassle of updating profiles and reposting content across multiple accounts, managing various comment sections, and juggling multiple inboxes. NOSTR unifies everything, allowing you to switch between different apps without losing followers or posts. The best part? The bitcoin rewards incentivize higher quality content, transforming social media into an unparalleled experience where a casual poster can evolve into an article author or a meme maker into a marketing guru.

### **How do I connect to NOSTR?**

For a quick start with NOSTR try [Alby](https://getalby.com/invited-by/orangemart).
 1) Open the [Firefox browser](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/).
 2) Add-on the [Alby browser extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/alby/).
 3) Set a passcode for unlocking.
 4) Connect your [Alby account](https://getalby.com/invited-by/orangemart) or connect your own wallet.

You're ready to start! Alby has generated a NOSTR identity for you. If you've used NOSTR before, you might already have an identity. To continue using it, simply import the identity's private key (npriv) into the browser extension.

Here's how:

1. Go to wallet settings -> key management -> NOSTR settings.
2. Choose to delete, keep, or import your npriv.

You can install the extension on multiple devices, such as your desktop, laptop, and mobile. After installing, check the NOSTR settings to ensure you're using the same identity across all devices. You could also install mobile nostr apps like [Amethyst](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitorpamplona.amethyst&hl=en&gl=US), [Primal](https://primal.net) & [Damus](https://damus.io/).

## **Where do I begin with NOSTR?**

### **1. Set Up Your NOSTR Profile.**

- **Open a NOSTR Client**: Start by opening a NOSTR client in your browser, such as [noStrudel](https://nostrudel.ninja), and log in using your browser extension.
- **Edit Your Profile**: Navigate to your profile and find the edit button. Here, you can input your Display Name, Profile Picture, Bio, and add your lightning address.
- **Lightning Address**: If you're using an Alby account, your lightning address can be found in the browser extension (e.g. orangemart@getalby.com). Alternative lightning address providers include [Blink](https://blink.sv), [Coinos](https://coinos.io), [WoS](https://www.walletofsatoshi.com), [ZBD](https://zbd.gg) and [more](https://lightningaddress.com/). If you run your own node then your address could be yourname@yourdomain.

### **2. Make Your First Post.**

In this step, we'll use a different NOSTR web client, such as [Snort](https://snort.social).

1. **Sign In**: Sign in with your browser extension.
2. **Profile Information**: You'll notice that all the profile information you updated in the previous step with the other client is already set up here. This seamless transfer of information is one of the advantages of using NOSTR.
3. **Make Your First Post**: Let's make our first post using Snort.
4. **Switch Clients**: After posting, switch to another NOSTR client to view your post. This exercise will help you understand how to navigate and interact with the new web.

### **Why Post to NOSTR?**

Posting your content to NOSTR is worth your time for many reasons:

1. **Uncensorable:** NOSTR supports an unlimited number of clients and servers (including self-hosted), ensuring your content is always accessible to your followers.
2. **Innovative:** NOSTR's open and competitive environment constantly brings new and innovative ways for your audience to discover and enjoy your content.
3. **Monetizable:** From the first view, you can earn bitcoin for your content without any gatekeeping or advertisers.

## **What can I do on NOSTR?**

- Broadcast a livestream with [zap.stream](https://zap.stream/).
- Author an article with [habla.news](https://habla.news).
- Discover and share insights with [highlighter.com](https://highlighter.com/).
- Host images, gifs, music and videos with [nostr.build](https://nostr.build/).
- Start a discussion forum with [satellite.earth](https://satellite.earth/) and host files with Satellite's media CDN.

- and so much [more](https://www.nostrapps.com/) for you to discover!

### **Conclusion**

[NOSTR](https://nostr.org/) is a protocol for communicating across the web. NOSTR features native "zapping", which enables little bits of Bitcoin to flow between users. Your identity is controlled by you, not any one platform. With one identity, you can connect to an [ever-growing number of apps](https://www.nostrapps.com/).

Get started on NOSTR today with [Alby](https://getalby.com/invited-by/orangemart) and if you appreciate this post then consider zapping some sats our way.

The number of people the government oversees is much too large. Even some of the states are too big; we need a completely fractionalized system that oversees, at a maximum, a city population.


💯 And the key is that they’ll be open and modular.

I believe they assumed only a few people would vote on behalf of the citizenry. The mistake was trying to govern too many people over too large an area. It seems that non-digital governance structures naturally lead to power in the hands of a few people, but it only works if those few people oversee themselves and not others. Once a population gets so large as to need representatives, it’s time to reconstruct the whole system.


If borders didn’t exist, travel wouldn’t be called travel. It would just be living.


Don't worry, it's going to get worse.

Imagine how it would reflect on the world’s second-largest democracy if it had a voter turnout of less than 50%. Not voting sends a MUCH more powerful message than doing so in favor of either party. Democracy at this scale has already failed; people just don’t want to accept it.

Nostr winning requires interoperability. Interoperability must be achieved in at least two ways:

1) minimize the amount of broken-ness
2) create multiple *awesome* that are not possible on, or that twitter is unlikely to ever pursue due to their corpo-gulag closed ad model

For the former see https://github.com/nostrability/nostrability

For the latter long-form notes, highlights, calendar event support are a few examples that come to mind in non-short text notes.

Handling unknown event types, and suggesting recommended apps for different events is where the strength of nostr lies. The exciting and unsolved part is key management, and design challenges of sending users to other apps. nostr:note1g0v7f6f0rzr3mva62a0q9ennf2yx8mh95kmp4y9rscyvqm6jjarqsuu63s

Ecash works best when you know who to punch. Market forces and social incentives prevent that from ever needing to happen.


When people don't trust their government, one of the best tools they have is to trust each other. If you trust neither your government nor your peers, then your battle is going to be all that much harder.

Being able to choose who to trust, and having tools to help you do that as efficiently and as minimally as possible, is almost as much of a superpower as not having to trust at all.

Some types of trust can be privacy-preserving. Some types of trust can be spread out over different groups of trust, so that the burden does not rest too heavily on any one person or group. Thanks to cryptography, we can break down trust to its smallest possible components, and assign them as deliberately and as minimally as we want, and to whom we want.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, have I mentioned how much I like Chaumian ecash?

Financial consolidation is a fiat psyop.

Ecash can return banking back to its smallest common denominator.

Payments and the lower functions of finance will be completely commoditized. Interoperability and the absence of friction or barriers to entry will drive the market towards efficiency.

Where protocols attempt to eliminate trust, markets seek to align it.


Regular reminder that ecash is not going to fix all of our problems. Part of the reason I'm working on Cashu is because I think every custodian in this world should be an Ecash mint. And every credit card on this planet should be replaced by an ecash wallet. That's already enough to fix.

Agreed.


Literally did both and came back with my response…

We’ll see each other in jail regardless. 🤷♂


PV 💜


Federations are still custodians; you can just get rugged by a 3 of 5 entity instead of one guy.


A federation doesn’t dissolve a service of all liability, it just spreads the risk to more people. Anything that sends Cashu mint operators to jail will do the same to Fedimint.


Cashu is for those services which don't need federations (99% of all services in the world). What you get is a open, well-tested ecash protocol to build your product on.

And that's what people are already doing.


My thoughts exactly:

Lots of jubilation about Trump coming out with a pro- #Bitcoin script, but I’d just like to remind everyone that Trump’s DOJ indicted Julian Assange under the Espionage Act, he didn’t free Ross when he was President, and he didn’t pardon Snowden.

Anyway, goodnight.

Kagi. It’s fantastic.


I don't know if a federation really solves the issues you’re concerned about. In all likelihood, singular entities will still be operating federations; the keys will just be distributed to people within them. On a local/community basis, federations are great, but Cashu also works since there’s a social risk to operating a mint, and many mints can spring up. MPPs also make the centralization of Cashu mints less of an issue; I’d rather trust several completely unrelated mints than a single federated one.

i’ve decided to keep “no deliriums” a long-form show, with biweekly releases to ensure both my audience and i can fully immerse in the subject at hand.

i thought this would be fairer to everyone’s time instead of creating a radio show with superficial information snippets between songs.

however, i do want to create a more relaxed radio show to showcase the cool music that’s being uploaded to rssblue. more details to come for that.

for now, i will keep researching for episode 2 of “no deliriums”. ep 2 will cover ways in which the average person can “stick it to the man” and keep their freedoms. if you got any input on that, please comment! i’d love to see it.

The media says the economy is good because:

- GDP is up
- Stocks are up
- Jobs are up
- Inflation is "only" 3.5%

All these numbers can be gamed. In particular, I wonder how much the GDP's rise is due to military spending that doesn't "trickle down" to the rest of the economy.

It seems to have gone through! I use Zeus’ zaplocker, so my wallet has to come online to receive zaps. The beauty of self-custody. 😅


NIP-99 is very flexible in its application as it uses tags, making it much simpler. NIP-15’s base stall and product specs are very rigid, and overall, it’s more complex to fully support. NIP-15 does have a decent spec for orders and auctions, but the NIP itself is less hackable than NIP-99, imo.


I’ll add to this list:

Swan
River
Strike
Cash App
Relai
Wallet of Satoshi
Blink
Alby
…

Don’t get me wrong, these all provide great services (I myself use Alby, Strike, and Cash App almost daily), but the tradeoffs, especially when it comes to onboarding requirements, can be much better if using an ecash mint. nostr:note10w4yn9mdn86cnc2mxtr2jwnngy8e9k0ydqt5en8hn3829ll36vnsu0gjz5

gm, today is an important day for #Julian #Assange and for press freedom all around the world. Today, we'll see how much integrity the UK court system really has (or how corrupt it really is). The US wasn't able to guarantee first amendment rights for Assange because that is something a US judge would have to decide when in court. They also said they wouldn't prosecute Assange on death penalty offences but if they're going to lock him up in a small concrete cube without windows for multiple life sentences, what's the difference?

Both of their guarantees are nothing but empty words and legal sleight of hand. Journalism isn't illegal, exposing government corruption, overreach and killing of civilians isn't illegal. There is no reason Julian should be in jail anywhere. #FreeAssangeNOW

What this guy says is pretty close to how I see it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWTlCaJVolo

The US will not solve it's debt problem by cutting spending, running surpluses, or raising taxes.  No... instead:

a) The fed funds rate will go up to fight inflation
b) Treasury rates will be held artificially low via QE: the fed buying as many treasuries as necessary to prevent the US govt from defaulting
c) Government spending will juice the economy locally in a 'numerical' fashion, getting people working harder again,
d) That will raise GDP and tax revenue to some degree, but the biggest effect will be via inflation
e) US debt to GDP rates will fall for the next 40 years or so to unwind the current position.

In summary he suggests:

1) Increase your income, and prefer jobs with income that increases with inflation such as sales, or running a business
2) Get rid of adjustable rate debt
3) Get fixed-rate debt that pays for itself (what you owe will fall in real terms as the dollar is inflated away in value)
4) Get wealth outside of the system ASAP since wealth controls are going to get much tighter as time goes on

In addition (things he didn't say), I would recommend investing in commodities and hodling bitcoin.

No need to ask for permission or buy api credits to some system that can shut me out.

nostr not only affords unrestricted and uncensorable speech for all, but it also enables us devs to build whatever we want without restrictions. It is flexible enough to build tons of new experiences that all interoperate.

The focus of nostr should be to be a place of freedom for those under oppressive governments. Nostr can be a place of refuge for those in countries like Iran, who have no access to any platform where they can speak freely.

It’s freely available, but aggregating it could definitely be of value. Most users don’t know how to query event data across the network, let alone analyze it in a meaningful way. And sure, people might not be compensated from the get-go, but the ability to do so via micropayments is incredibly easy and could act as a draw for more use of an ad market that does support direct compensation.

Small businesses all won’t have the ability to do all this themselves, and oftentimes they don’t feel great about throwing out ads on whatever platform they’re using, not knowing what’s being done with all the data or who it’s even going to reach.

Paying a service to do the analytics and giving businesses the ability to purchase an ad targeted to those who are most likely to buy a specific product or service by buying data directly from them reduces ad costs for the business while also increasing conversion rates. The customer is also compensated for buying a product they actually want, and a relationship is built.

Market forces and sentiment would drive adoption to ad markets that most effectively benefit both parties.

If anyone has had trouble redeeming their zaps from their Zeus zaplocker after connecting to their personal node, make sure to open a channel to “OLYMPUS by ZEUS” and get some inbound. It’s kind of an obvious solution, but someone out there might have been fumbling around with their channels to no avail, like me.


Ads also have potential for disruption with Nostr; they don’t necessarily have to stay “evil” and shadowy. Users can be compensated directly for opting in to have their data aggregated and sold. Companies can have much more effective targeted advertisements with the ability to directly buy existing customer data whenever needed and by streaming sats to those who view and show interest in an ad.

In my view, a P2P ad market over Nostr will become incredibly powerful for monetization in due time.


## Thought 1: Content Creation, Discovery & Remixing

Recently I’ve been thinking about ways we could highlight nostr’s unique properties while at the same time attracting creators to the platform.

There’s been a lot of discussion about what might spark nostr’s next wave of growth. I pointed out that people come for either other people, or for content. But, I also failed to realize that people also seek ways to express themselves via new tools that enable easy or unique ways of expressing yourself.

One thing we can say with certainty is that people are not coming to nostr for other people. While generally following influencers is a proven growth strategy - after all, many of us followed Jack, we still have a catch 22 problem of lacking audience and incentives for those creators to come here. Even if we managed to convince some large influencers to try the platform, it is not likely that they would stay. They’d need to be really passionate about nostr’s principles and vision to buckle in for the long term.

**Problem:** creators and influencers won’t come to nostr unless they can grow their audience, and nostr lacks the audience. We’ve seen this play out with Matt Taibi. He joined nostr but was reluctant to stay because there’s little incentive to share with a small audience when Twitter/X can bring in many more eyeballs.

**Possible Solution:** Instead of brining creators to the platform, enable some of the current passionate user base to become decent creators themselves. We don’t need influencers with giant audiences, we just need good content that keeps people around. If we apply the 80/20 rule (Pareto’s principle), it turns out we don’t need that many creators to have a great flow of content. Enabling just a handful of people to create great content might just do the trick.

**How to get there:** focus on creating tools that enable expression of creativity. One such tool is Pinstr, but its value is largely untapped. On its own, pinstr is nothing interesting, it’s practically a clone of Pinterest. But, given the interoperable nature of nostr, it would be interesting to see pinned boards / content surfaced within kind 1 clients. People could then explore the board or that user’s other boards further by making their way to Pinstr.

How do we encourage more people to curate interesting pins? How about a pin extension that makes it easy to do so?

How do we enable people remixing other pins? Allow them to re-pin the content to their own boards. These are all mechanics that made Pinterest interesting, but lack in pinstr (as far as I’m aware).

Other ways that we might encourage content creation:

1.  **Multi-account support.** Can we make it SUPER easy to switch between identities when posting some curated content? Yes we can. (Select a different identity when posting)
2.  **Surfacing “Other stuff” with a call to action to do that thing.** For example, if someone shares a list, a kind 1 client should be able to render that list in a way that’s easy to browse, share and encourages to create your own list. If someone shares a music playlist (hopefully via native nostr kind), a person should be able to see the playlist and be encouraged to create their own. Watch stream? > prompt to start your own
3.  **Gif / meme discovery** with a call to action to create your own. (Plebhy, Memester)
4.  **Styling tools** (more complex) to style media, add soundtracks etc (perhaps via integration with Wavlake or other nost-native music events).
5.  **Content scheduling -** help existing users become power users. Instead of posting everything at once, allow users to schedule it out for even distribution. Tools like Shipyard enable this already, but having this ability in-client might make it more accessible and useful.

6.  **Content pinning extensions** - bring the outside world to Nostr. How can people 1-click pin content to nostr without having to switch tabs constantly?

7.  **App discovery** - I think this is already in the works, but being able to surface other apps within kind 1 clients would be super interesting.
8.  **Enable surfacing** **of highlighted content and paid content** - with highlights, nudge people to read more of the content if it comes from within one of the nostr clients. With paid content, indicate that it is premium content and encourage creation of premium content “Become a creator” or “Join creator studio”.
9.  **Encourage people to write long-form opinion content.** When reading a long form article, perhaps have a call to action to start your own nostr publication. “Publish on Nostr and earn”
10.  **Surface and encourage audio creation** - we don’t have a nostr podcast client yet, but if there was one, kind 1 clients could surface that content automatically and encourage people to start their own podcasts, audio diaries, audio chats (nostr nests) or audio stories. Kind 1 clients could surface audio clips with waveforms and subtitles built in, or create a framework by which other developers could create this type of interaction with your kind 1 client. Can users create their own clip playlists from audio content fetched from the nostr podcast app? Why not?

The common objection to all of this might be that “you can already do all of this just by copying links”. Yes, and no. Copying links does share content - albeit in a boring preview way. It does not enable interactivity, nor prompt people to create that type of content. I think this is where nostr could shine.

## Thought 2: Interoperability

One of the greatest strengths of nostr is the ability to display events across clients. I think of kind 1 clients as the glue that holds together the “other stuff”. The other stuff apps can be used to create the stuff, and kind 1 can enable discovery of said stuff, while encouraging to visit those tools to create their own.

Traditional social media platforms are encourage to put up walls and discourage leaking of users to other places. The more time a user spends on a website or app, the better for that company. But, with nostr, there’s a virtuous positive loop that does not punish leaking of attention, but instead, rewards it. The more content people create, the more interesting your kind 1 discovery client becomes.

**How to get there**: It’s going to take a lot of work to integrate the other stuff, but it’s already under way. As a client developer, partner up with other stuff clients to figure out how to best support them. Open up [nostrapps.com](http://nostrapps.com) to see what exists, and how your client can accommodate the surfacing of that stuff with minimal effort (since our resources are so scarce). Tap into product designers to help conceptualize and visualize interactions and growth loops. #nostrdesign is ready to help with this.

Type of content kind 1 clients could surface and create loops for:

1.  Playlists
2.  Pin boards (pinstr)
3.  Audio chats (nost nests, corny chat)
4.  Highlights (highlighter)
5.  Payments
6.  Fundraisers (Heya, Geyser)
7.  Communities
8.  Events (Flockstr)
9.  Streams (zapstream)
10.  Long form content
11.  Job posts / boards
12.  Recipes (zap cooking)
13.  Lists
14.  Torrents (Stan)
15.  News feeds
16.  Calling functionality
17.  DMVs
18.  Podcast clips, playlists
19.  Audio clips
20.  Marketplace items (Shopstr, Creatstr, Plebeian Market)
21.  Paid content (highlighter)

## Recap

1.  Build tools to aid content creation
2.  Surface “other stuff” in kind 1 clients
3.  Prompt people to create their own stuff

The Dynastic Cycle and the Fourth Turning are all basically the same thing. It's built into civilization, regardless of era or culture.

There are debt/money growth cycles, law/bureaucracy growth cycles, and periods of reset for both of them.

During the growth phase, debt accumulates, and laws build upon laws as bureaucrats become bloated and detached. Even well-meaning people in power can't fix it; every attempt to fix things just adds another layer of debt and legal complexity.

And then after a long enough time, it blows up. It could be slow or it could be fast, but it gets fucking rekt. It could be a lost war, a major internal revolution, or a slow massive decline and then a major populist democratically-elected landslide pivot.

The new government emerges, as order out of chaos, with elements of authoritarianism. The ideal scenario is that this newfound unity is enough to create change in the right direction, and then decentralize itself to re-establish rule of law and individual rights. The more common scenario, however, is that this newfound unity is not let go by those who claimed it, and it leads to authorianism/communism/fascism and decades of problems. In other words, the revolution against the decaying chaos is easy, but sticking the landing toward the re-emergence of freedom and productivity is the hard part.

That's why nothing stops this train. We're in the debt cycle rotation/reset, and eventually the bureaucratic rotation/reset as well. It takes billions of dollars to build a thousand feet of high-speed rail in the USA. Europe flails around on energy optics. Politicians become satire. Japan is stuck in yield curve control. This can last a long time, but the tailspin is nearly irrecoverable.

Incrementalism doesn't work at this phase. The event horizon is passed. Rather, the focus becomes on what order will emerge from the chaos. Is it rational order, or is it even worse than what came before?

The answer to that question, is what people have a big part in shaping.

A Definitive Guide on How to Choose between "Nostr Native" and "Nostr Integrated"

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/blowater/1715380033869

Here is a simple chart for developers to understand when to "Nostr Native" and when to "Nostr Integrated"

### Definition:
__Nostr Native:__ Uses relays as the only network layer and storage layer and business logic is 99%+ client side.

__Nostr Integrated:__ Has in-house solutions and only connects partially to Nostr.

Both categories could be open sourced or close sourced.

| Features  | Benefit From Network Effect | Don't benefit from Network Effect  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Contribute To Network Effect | All in Nostr Native | Recommend Writing to Nostr |
| Harm Network Effect| Don't Write to Nostr and could read from Nostr | Should be in-house solution and not write to Nostr |

### Category 1
If we think we should be all-in Nostr Native no matter what (like 99%+), we are limiting ourselves to only features that both benefit from Nostr and contribute to Nostr. This is a totally valid proposition as long as developers are consciously aware that they are indeed making a product within this category.

Pretty much __all public facing social features fall into this category.__

__But,__ there are many products that need features that fall into other 3 categories.

### Category 2
For features that benefit from Nostr but harms it, you are basically stealing data from Nostr without contributing back. My advice to is __not write to Nostr at all and only read from Nostr__ if you have to do it, but you should __minimize this product design in general.__

Pretty much any __massivly bot/batch job/pipeline generated data fall into this category.__ Machine generated data do not necessarily mean spam data. In the data engineering & machine learning world, it's very common to generate intermediate data in data pipelines for downstream analytics. This kind of data is huge and can also be purely textual. Don't write to Nostr relays.

### Category 3
Is it even possible to have features that don't benefit from the network effect of Nostr and can contribute to it?

I can't think of any. But if it exists, consider writing to Nostr even if you don't use relays as the primary storage.

### Category 4
These are features that don't benefit from Nostr and also harm Nostr if writing to it.

Slack style internal organization communication falls into this category. In fact, we want to actively prevent these features from having network effects because having these data in an open network might reduce their security.

Writing them to Nostr also harms the network because these data, encrypted or not, only have semantic meaning within the organization. Posting them to Nostr reduces the overall signal(value) density of the network.

### Outtro
It is very common and almost inevitable for a single product to have both lots of category 1 and lots of category 4 and some % of category 2 & 3.

Using this chart, you will know how to make wise engineering decisions that help your product design instead of harming it and help the network at the same time.


Checked bags are a shitcoin.

📣 Introducing zap.store 0.1.0

For months I have been dreaming of a better app store, frustrated by big tech's permissioned bs, GPG's complexities, and Obtainium's reliance on centralized services and poor UX.

Here's the first (very alpha) iteration of zap.store, a permissionless app store leveraging the nostr social graph.

✔ Android only (for now! Desktop coming soon)
✔ Obtainium drop-in replacement (smaller catalog but growing)
✔ App releases are signed/curated by this account, as developers start self-signing
✔ Web of trust check before installing an app

Get it at https://zap.store or https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore

(SHA-256 hash of the APK version 0.1.0 is 8540bd492064c17d83bcdc6d2a463c2aea46f13c2b0d13b8a96023df95bd0c9d)

Feedback more than welcome, it's also possible to send directly from the ⚙ screen in the app

The Introduction of Keychat

Keychat is a chat app, built on Bitcoin ecash, Nostr protocol and Signal protocol.

Keychat is inspired by the postal system — stamps, post offices, letters.

Keychat uses Bitcoin ecash as stamps and Nostr relays as post offices.

Senders send messages stamped with Bitcoin ecash to Nostr relays. The Nostr relays collect the Bitcoin ecash, then deliver messages to receivers.

Unlike the centralized postal system, Keychat can use multiple Bitcoin ecash issuers and Nostr relays, each maintained by distinct operators.

Keychat uses Signal protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy.

The content of the letter can be exposed easily by opening the envelope. Keychat messages are end-to-end encrypted via Signal protocol, with a unique encryption key generated for each message. Only the sender and receiver can decrypt the message.

The addresses of both parties on the envelope can be tracked. In theory, this problem is solved if they change addresses daily. So Keychat reuses Signal protocol to update sending and receiving addresses for nearly every message.

Like the postal system, Keychat requires no registration. Users just generate Nostr keys as ID.

 Last year, I participated in a competition where artists worldwide could submit their works. Inspired by a Persian Pictorial Rug , I designed a meme with the title "Who is the king?" to engage the audience. I chose images randomly and positioned the gaze as if everyone was eagerly awaiting the answer to the question. However, unbelievably, the organizers disqualified artists who couldn't have been KYC, and I, due to being Iranian, was sidelined. Afterward, I pledged make a promise to boycott organizations and groups that exclude artists based on KYC. This BEHAVIOUR is no less than discrimination or gender apartheid.

This! Nostr’s freedom is for resisting tyranny and creating a commons that isn’t owned by a corporation or government. It’s freedom to control our own public spheres. Freedom to set norms that make sense to different communities who have different standards. It is not freedom so that you can be an asshole where you impose harassment on people. You’ve got the right to speech but nobody has the obligation to listen to you, display your content in their clients, host your content on relays, or quietly leave your content unlabeled/reported.

I have no idea what Stratum V2 is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Sound familiar? 😄 That was me not that long ago. But now it's not me and it doesn't have to be you because I made this pocket guide about Stratum V2!

It's a short 8 page zine that you can print at home and share with your friends. Just print the double sided PDF, cut, and fold!

It's perfect for anyone that wants a quick overview of the project, including a brief history and timeline.

You can find this and more of my zines at: https://satsie.dev/zines

HODL mints would be awesome! Escrow could also be implemented this way.


It’s crazy to think we have to worry about the government and how they react to what we build instead of being able to focus on building the future without fear of possibly being thrown in a cage. For building freedom technology that levels the playing field and brings about the equal opportunity politicians LARP about.


Best social client out there imo.

Your Bitcoin becomes no different than gold at that point.


Many cryptographic protocols are designed around the security model that assumes an attack will be a remote attacker using cryptanalysis to derive one of your keys (among a set of keys).  You can understand why this is, these protocols are designed by cryptographers, and the threat they are always thinking about is a cryptographic attack.

But the real world threat is device compromise. You are at the very least 1000x more likely to be compromised by having your device hacked and all of its keys and data stolen or otherwise compromised.

Therefore, things like the double-ratchet protocol don't really help in the real world. Breaking one conversation key doesn't break the others, but if your device can read all past messages, so can someone that totally compromises your device.

The signal double ratchet protocol is fine. It doesn't make things worse. It makes things marginally better. But I want people to understand how thin that margin really is.
