Title: I have been seeing a lot of shilling for mastodon lately, so I thought I would step in and shill Nostr for a bit.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nostr-protocol&#x2F;nostr<p>Fun facts about Nostr:<p>* Nostr stands for &quot;Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays&quot;. It is an odd acronym, but I like it.<p>* Nostr uses websockets and relays to build a really simple P2P network. We also steal a few ideas from bitcoin (ECDSA ids, schnorr-signed events).<p>* Relays are simply dumb data stores for events that clients publish and subscribe to.<p>* Clients don&#x27;t trust relays to be honest, so all events are self-signed. Your pubkey is your userid.<p>* It is stupid simple to build a Nostr client. You can easily do it in less than 400 lines of JavaScript. And it runs in the browser.<p>(shameless self plug)  
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cmdruid&#x2F;nostr-emitter<p>* Nostr is powerful enough to host chat apps very easily. Here is a rip of Telegram, running on Nostr:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;anigma.io<p>* There&#x27;s a lot of fun things you can do with Nostr. Check out all these cool projects!<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aljazceru&#x2F;awesome-nostr<p>* We are constantly discussing how to improve the protocol.

https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nostr-protocol&#x2F;nips<p>Thank you for reading my nostr shill post. I did not create nostr, nor do I get any monies for promotion. I just think it&#x27;s really cool and I have a lot of fun building stuff that punches though nats.<p>If you have any questions about nostr please feel free to ask.<p>Also, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope we&#x27;re all feeling fat and sassy today. :-D
