NOSTR

NOSTR, heard of it yet? I have a feeling we are all going to hear about it alot more.

Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays, is a client-relay model with privacy, user control and censorship resistance at the heart of this social network protocol.

Why?

It’s a step shift in centralised social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram that suffer from corporate and/or state influence, control and censorship. See the Twitter files to find out more about that. NOSTR addresses these with an open, private, decentralised and permission-less approach.

Public Key Encryption.

Rather than having an ‘account’ with email/username and password, and more often than not, some personal details such as telephone, and whatever personal data you wish to hand over. The protocol this on it’s head and uses public key encryption. Thus all you need is the private key (which you keep safe), and you share your public key on the network. The use of public key encryption is a real strength, you own your identity, no authority has it.

Free for development:

NOSTR is open to extension and development. There is an array of clients, such as Amethyst, and Damus, amongst other, https://nostr.com/clients Anyone can build on the protocol, apps, clients, relays and tools. Only imagination will limit it.

User control:

The user has control of their audience, having the ability to choose their preferred relays. Customise your feed to what you prefer. No central algorithm deciding what you are going to get. As mentioned with the public key encryption, It allows anonymity. It’s freedom to express, without bans, shadow bans, account locks or censorship.

Simple:

In a now fragmented world of social media, the most secure, user-centric, decentralised, simple, reliable platform will have a head start to other centralised or server controlled platforms. NOSTR gives freedom and control.
