bit on Nostr: Written in rust, end to end encryption, cryptographic identities/identifiers, this is ...
Written in rust, end to end encryption, cryptographic identities/identifiers, this is really something, just reading about how the username->cryptographic identity is done in a decentralised way, this is really really neat though. A social network build on SSB was always a pipe dream of mine, the fact you can build arbitrary protocols on top of it using it as a way to back them was super interesting, looking at the awesome-nostr repo seems like this can be used in a similar way. I have some security/threat model questions which I’m sure will be revealed by reading the code, mainly around time syncrionisation and the username “source of truth” but this is really exciting! Thanks for the warm welcome :-)
