Nostr needs a Monero Takeover
(monero.town)
In my view, Monero is only one piece of the equation to digital freedom. You need the rest of the “encryption as identity” tech stack:
Monero is to Money, What Session is to Telegram, And Nostr is to Twitter.
Censorship on Twitter has given rise to this decentralized micro-blogging alternative that uses encryption as identity for unstoppable free speech.
I narrated this brand new animated video which goes over how Nostr works and why it matters: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/nostr/
Nostr is right now dominated by Bitcoin Maxis, we're organizing a Monero takeover. DM us on Nostr: npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6
Is variety in Alternatives a problem to you?
not at all, just do not understand what nostr does that mastodon does not
it is like promoting zcash or epic cash, pointless
It has a really nice ethos for the coding side of it and is very easy to make stuff for. The only mandatory thing to implement is extremely short, and all of the documentation is in a single github that takes contributions from basically anyone for additions. It can very plausibly be used for stuff that isn't like Twitter. Having cryptographic keys instead of accounts is a good concept, so are relays, makes it so there isn't any given server that has a lot of power over you as a user. If you're not a developer and don't care about that stuff then yeah it doesn't really have much mastodon doesn't right now but it's still cool imo.
Thanks for the info, has potential I suppose.
