✨ This is an environment for Freedom of Expression:
Nostr promotes freedom of expression by being a decentralized platform, where users are not controlled by a single entity.
But how does it work in practice? 🤔
Nostr is a decentralized network made up of various servers that do not have a central control. This structure makes it difficult for anyone to attack or censor the entire network.
🔑 Public and Private Keys:
Each user generates a key pair:
Public Key: 🌐 Facilitates communication and user location on the network.
Private Key: 🔒 Kept secure, it is used to sign your messages, ensuring authenticity and control over your information.
✅ Authentication and Data Ownership:
By signing your messages with the private key, you authenticate the content as your responsibility. This allows users to be sure that the message is genuine and has not been tampered with.
You Own Your Data: 💾 Unlike traditional social networks, where companies control your information, on Nostr, you are the true owner. This means you can move and manage your data your way.
📝 Posts and Interactions:
Create Content: ✍️ You can create posts that are digitally signed by you. The posts are available to everyone who has access to your public key.
Direct Interactions: 🤝 Users can interact with each other without the mediation of a platform, allowing you to follow and comment on the content of whomever you wish.
💰 Zaps:
Reward System: 🎉 Nostr incorporates zaps, which are micropayments that you can send to other users as a form of recognition and encouragement for valuable contributions.
Use of the Lightning Network: ⚡ Zaps usually utilize the Lightning Network, facilitating and speeding up these payments.
🔒 Privacy and Security
Total Control: 🛡️ You decide who sees your posts and how they are shared.
Secure Protocol: 🔐 The combination of public and private keys ensures that only you can access and modify your content.
🔄 Account Recovery:
By keeping your private key secure, you ensure that even if you lose access, you can restore your account and all your data.
