> I've sometimes dreamed of a web where every resource is tied to a hash, which can be rehosted by third parties, making archival transparent. This would also make it trivial to st…

What did you think was going to happen when you've got guaranteed payments and a growing customer base as people celebrate their "neurodiversity" whilst at the same time demanding …

Yep. And you still de-anonymise yourself with Mastodon when you buy hosting and a domain. If you use an existing provider, then you're back at square one and living in hope that th…

It's why I'm so excited about Nostr, and apps built on top of it, like 0xchat: https://www.0xchat.com/

I'm still confused about why multiple clients would be pushing the same message, especially given that Nostr events are signed, but that's by the by. I think "without further imple…

Please take a look at my other replies to other posts. Read about the outbox model, or Bitchat. The large relays are not required. They are a public service but not essential. Ther…

Proof of Work secures Bitcoin, and people definitely care about that.

I have posted very similar replies to other messages in this thread and don't want to repeat myself too much at the risk of being considered spam. But... Outbox model prevents cens…

"Boom. Same as Nostr, but with existing platforms" - Except without the ability to give and receive real value via zaps, and at the risk of being censored, and losing your entire a…

This is not true. Read up on the outbox model. I have linked it elsewhere in replies in this thread. You post to your own preferred relays, as well as to the preferred relays of ot…

Read up on the outbox model and zaps. Also check out Bitchat for a real world example of Nostr being effectively used without even requiring Internet connectivity. You cannot censo…

Nostr has the benefits of centralised networks for discoverability, federated networks for communities, and private individual web site for p2p and archival purposes. As I have sai…

Check the outbox model: https://nostrify.dev/relay/outbox Why would "every relay getting pummeled by a load of clients simultaneously, all trying to push the same message"? Relays …

Every time I see an article like this that doesn't mention Nostr I just shake my head...

White Noise is open source, and built on Nostr, a decentralised and open protocol. Run your own fork if you don't trust this one.

This is decentralised as it runs on Nostr. Nostr can run over TOR.

This criticism of Nostr is quite outdated. I haven't looked into the White Noise code, but Gift Wrapping is just one way this issue was solved a long time ago: https://nips.nostr.c…

Why not 0xchat? Private key login, encrypted private chats and contacts, encrypted group chats, and lightning payments. Decentralised, built on Nostr. Available on all platforms. h…

I cannot speak for Africa, but this is not true of South East Asia. Whilst cheap 'dumb' phones do still exist and are used, even low income earners in South East Asia tend to have …

His takeaways are that "to resist misguided censorship" we need: - A service with no central choke-points, but rather a large number of independent co-operating nodes. - Accounts, …

I love Robin Sloan, but why not just build this on Nostr? It can do everything required here and more, and you get immediate community support, and therefore increased adoption, a …

Came here to say this. Nostr is so far ahead it's not funny, in part because of this, in part because it's actually decentralised, in part because of already existing features buil…

Nostr Login using NIP07 is amazing. There's even cooler ways that are already working including nsec bunkers. This is the way of the future IMHO, most people just don't know it yet…

Yep. Same for most of Asia too. Cloudflare's filters are basically straight up racist. I have stopped using so many sites due to their use of Cloudflare.
