A new guide for a revolutionary protocol!
NOSTR Market - a decentralized unstoppable way to trade products and services over NOSTR protocol.
Diagon Alley is a decentralized market-stall protocol, that shifts emphasis from the front-end market to the merchants stall. If a front-end market (indexer) gets taken down, merchants just point their stalls elsewhere. Game-theoretically the winner of Diagon Alley is the most forthright, although suggestions on limiting bad behavior are very welcome.
Now, NOSTR-market is build over NOSTR protocol, where all the traffic is over wss relays. HTTP access it can be optional in case the merchant want to publish a public web-shop.
But practically anybody can run a shop stall in a local instance of LNbits (on 127.0.0.1) and broadcast as notes all the items from its stall to the relays is connected.
Same as for customers, could just run a local NOSTR-client and a NOSTR-market and connect to any merchant pubkey over wss relays. Then shop freely, decentralized, anonymously with no http traffic whatsoever, using for payments the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
Let's get started! Here I wrote a step by step guide for all merchants in the world. In English and Español, soon in more languages.
