You cannot use pubky or nostr if you don't have access to the Internet.
You cannot use pubky or nostr if you've just been hit by a 2000 lb bomb.
BOTH systems require you to connect to SOMETHING to get started.
Everything is censorable.
Discussion
Right now, the authorities simply shut down mobile internet or specific bands, leaving only 2G. Most online services and protocols stop working, and Nostr is, of course, useless.
Yes, we assume that, which is why we use pkarr and mainline as for pkdns and public key domains.
Scale brings censorship, but scale is a requirement.
I can use #Scuttlebutt ! 🌞
What is a Pubkey & Pubky ? And how do they differ.
I hope that is secure scuttlebutt!!
pubky is a thing where you can whip up a keypair and then go to https://
Your special DNS server looks up that public key in the DHT to find out where their homeserver is right now (it can move), and then goes to that website.
pubkey is just short for a public key.
I hope that it secure too 🙂
So pubky is like cjdns yggdrasil tor i2p p2p-dns ?
pubkey is some thing mentioned by Mr. Gleason , and account. idk whether tech or event or something
Yeah Alex's is yet another different pubkey.
They’re working on it.
You are indirectly telling me I may lose my access to Nostr?🤔

"You cannot use pubky or nostr if you don't have access to the Internet."
I disagree
Lol, looking through replies, I'm just piling on. Just ignore me! 😂
Nostr is the protocol. Signed events are not nostr, they are pretty much scuttlebutt. The keypair identity is not nostr either, that is super generic.
I am technically wrong as you could use nostr on a private network. But this isn't the point of my post. And I've forgotten the point of my post,
yes, our lady of the gfy nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z does a lot of stuff with localhost relays and vpn/lan relay stuff.
also, one of the unique things about nostr's design is the way you really have three different functions - post office (as in, requesting stored events), publish/subscribe pattern, which is where users upload events and others listen to receive them, and then there is a third pattern that is used by such things as bunkers, which i would call the "relay" pattern, or "rendezvous".
nostr is unique for enabling all three patterns of data transit and access. the architecture and documentation are pretty messy, and kinds and those stupid nip numbers make the subject a lot more opaque than it really should be. kinds are stupid because sometimes, there is 5 kinds associated with one protocol, and then there is other kinds where there is 10 different variants that events essentially are different types, for example kind 1 messages, the root and reply flags, and the event and pubkey tags, combine to really form like hm 3? different real types, and some people have added even more nonsense to kind 1s.
i'm of the opinion that kinds should be abolished in favor of more descriptive tags. and especially, eliminating the limitation of single letters. it is trivial to implement key hashes to make descriptive names more compact in storage (32 bits is probably enough for words up to 16 characters long).
but, whatever. i probably will eventually do this and just take *one* kind number and then make 50 different message types defined by their tag pattern. just because i hate kinds.
we should all have a T-Shirt with a QR code linking to our favorite politically incorrect blog
good freedom tech would be a website where you can order such T-Shirts by just picking shirt size and color and entering the URL you want the QR code to link to

if you link to your own blog you would be doxxing yourself
but you can link to the blog of a friend and they can link to yours
that way you maintain anonymity but still reaching normies
