Alasdair on Nostr: Updated list of weaknesses with Nostr and Nostr clients I've noticed. I'm putting ...
Updated list of weaknesses with Nostr and Nostr clients I've noticed. I'm putting this together so that developers can work on solving big issues, as well as innovate new features.
❌ It is not possible to change a nostr "password". Everything is centered around private keys. If that gets lost/stolen, you can't get it back or change it. I understand this would require a major change to the protocol, but still seems like a big problem.
❌ Follower counts seem to be fairly inaccurate or doesn't load at all
❌ You can't unlike a note
❌ You can't delete notes
❌ You can't edit notes
❌ Note / user search is far from twitters standard
❌ There's not a way to easily find new, popular relays
❌
I hope all of these things can be improved. If so, twitter and every other platforms has serious decentralized competition ahead of it!
