5 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 14 Dec \ parent \ on: Which hard problem did nostr solve? nostr
The mistake are doing people is to use nostr as a new twatter. I personally use it too, like that (even that I never had a twatter account), but just for fun and have a "public face"...
But the strong capabilities are when you:
  • run your own relay(s)
  • use your relays for private communication
  • use your own relays for your own NWC accounts
  • use your own relays or chat rooms like hivetalk or White Noise messenger
  • use your own relays when you run your own nostr market
Relays are like billboards : you can make them public or make them private. A lot of things can happen on private relays and nobody knows about or censor it. THAT is its strong argument.
If everybody run his own relay but make it public, it doesn't achieve too much thing. Is mostly noise.
Not sure if you remember the defunct MS SharePoint... something like that could be nostr, a private intranet but also can be extended to a public extranet.

Well, it's literally how nostr describes itself:
The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.
So I think it's fair to measure nostr using it's own measure stick.
