It's been 3 years since I wrote the first draft of what would become @nprofile…j39v, today we are a team of people working full time and our mission is clear: we’re building a platform designed from the ground up for the developing world, especially for people living under authoritarian regimes. Privacy isn’t just a luxury; it’s a matter of safety. That’s why we don’t rely on Tor, since it doesn’t work well in areas with very slow internet—something common in these regions.
Instead, Mostro use Nostr and must only publish events to relays we trust, so the Mostro daemon never exposes its IP to a relay that might be a trap set by a dictator. This keeps everything simple and more private. In other words, if someone is in an authoritarian country, they can publish to their own relay, and clients will fetch that information without revealing the Mostro node’s IP to potentially hostile relays.

Now that you're suddenly interested in Venezuela, I'd like to see what you post about the thousands of extrajudicial killings carried out by Maduro and his accomplices.
Thousands disappeared, tortured, victims of sexual abuse, and murdered.
Students, journalists, opposition leaders, or simply anyone who posted a message on internet against Maduro are being persecuted.
More than 8 million in exile.
Today, your incentive to post about Venezuela is the extrajudicial killing of drug traffickers.
And yes, I also believe that these drug traffickers should be arrested and prosecuted instead of executed, but what's truly interesting is the double standard, where for you it's more important to post about murdered drug traffickers than about Venezuelan students, many of them minors, murdered in cold blood by a regime that clings to power by force.

@nprofile…3u36 is a response to governments around the world that have chosen to wage war on citizens who want—or, more accurately, need—to escape the use of fiat currency.
There is a global trend, not only in authoritarian countries but also in the U.S. and Europe, to monitor all of citizens’ financial movements “for their own good.” Gradually, they have been squeezing companies that provided services enabling people to buy and sell bitcoin as freely and privately as possible, without KYC.
Mostro is a platform that allows people to carry out bitcoin buy-and-sell transactions without KYC, in a highly private, uncensored, and as decentralized a way as possible. Once complete, Mostro will not relay on a single person or company as a single point of failure: anyone will be able to become a Mostro operator and offer services to users in their region.
The idea is for it to be very easy to create a Mostro node and very hard to find and take down. Mostro uses Nostr as a data-transport layer to resist censorship.

there are plenty eur orders on p2p.band

2025-06-04 18:56:14

Almost a year ago, I proposed a Nostr NIP to create a large liquidity pool for Bitcoin P2P orders on Nostr.
The idea is to have a standard (or an attempt at one) that, as more platforms implement it, allows end users to have a single place to search for the order that best suits them and, from there, navigate to the platform where the chosen order is located.
So far, this standard has been implemented by @nprofile…ah8m , @nprofile…3u36
and @nprofile…u67e
A couple of months ago, @nprofile…0nef created this very useful P2P dashboard where we can see all the orders that meet this standard.
https://p2p.band
I believe the more P2P orders published here, the greater the benefit for users and the platforms themselves, as end users are directed to the option that best fits their needs.

Generally speaking, first-world Bitcoiners don't use Bitcoin because they don't need it; they just store it in cold storage.
The same goes for democracy: citizens with a stable democratic system aren't interested in having a transparent, open-source, trustless voting system.
This is something we, the banana republics developers, must do. Let's do it!
https://github.com/grunch/criptocracia

2025-05-10 15:25:09

The first "usable" version (v0.1.1) of #Cryptocracy has a thousand things to fix and improve, but I'm gradually adding and correcting them. This version has almost everything hardcoded. For example, the Electoral Commission (EC) software must have its own private keys. This data shouldn't be public, but to facilitate testing, this version uses a private key that is public in the repository.
For now, a database isn't implemented, so you can only vote in one election.
To select an election and a candidate, press ENTER; to exit, press ESC (or the q key).
The way it works is, the EC is executed, which will create an election with the status "Open." After 1 minute, the status changes to "In progress," and voters can vote. After 1 hour, the voting status changes to "Finished."
It displays the results in real time. This should be changed to display the results at the end in the future.
I generated the .exe binaries (voter.exe and ec.exe) for Windows users; Linux users can compile it 🤓
Anyway, it needs a lot of work, so contributions are welcome.

We constantly complain that politics is dirty, and no one wants to get involved because they would end up being part of that swamp.
Politics isn't dirty, but politicians are.
We should start working on ELIMINATING politicians from politics.
How do we eliminate them?
By creating tools so that citizens can exercise politics securely, privately, and secretly.
I've been working on a system to give people the real ability to actively participate in the decisions that affect their lives and communities.
For these types of tools to be truly useful, they have to be open source, but that's not enough. They must be auditable at runtime. This can be done with cryptography techniques and using #Nostr as a data transport layer.
For all of the above, I've been working on #Criptocracia, a simple tool that will allow citizens to vote securely, privately, and secretly.
Criptocracia is a proof of concept that we will continue to test, adjust, and improve.
Contributions and feedback are very welcome 🥲

yeah probably, there are many use cases for Voting, this idea I propose is to be implemented on a NGO board to approve or reject proposals but also can be used in countries elections where you have a EC

2025-04-13 19:53:00

Thinking in a voting system on Nostr
* Each voter sends a Gift Wrap (GW) event addressed to the Electoral Center's (EC) pubkey. The event internally contains the signed vote information and the sender's pubkey.
* The EC maintains a list of pubkeys authorized to vote.
* For each GW event received, the EC validates that the pubkey is in the registry. If the vote is signed correctly, the vote is counted, and the identity is discarded.
I need to think a little more about audits.
EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING must be open source, especially in this area.

We are implementing it to allow a dispute solver have the option to look the conversation only if it is necessary to have a better understanding of the situation and make the best decision.

Hey everyone, I just created a very simple chat which use @nprofile…3u36 p2p chat implementation, this chat is really private and secure but the real importance of this is that it allows users to share a key with a third party, the third party can see the whole conversation between peers and the main use case for this is a solver can solve a dispute in Mostro, but this idea can be implemented on many other platforms.
if you have rust installed you can start testing just runing
cargo install mostro-chat
here the crate

After many discussions and a lot of trial and error, we finally have a simple and efficient way to allow an admin to intervene in dispute resolution.
I just uploaded a repository explaining how Mostro clients handle chat between users. We use a Diffie-Hellman shared key between the two parties as a master key, which either party can voluntarily share with the solver in case of a dispute. This way, the solver can verify who is lying.
For the curious, the repository technically explains how it works and includes sample code. I’m currently implementing it in mostro-cli, and I hope to add it to Mostro’s official documentation today. @nprofile…3u36 client builders can now implement user chat without worrying about changes—this will be the scheme we’ll stick to.
