Sadly no. For the record, this is my copy-paste "Nostr" disambiguation post.

---

When you used the word Nostr just then, did you mean:

a) The actual people of Nostr, the so-called Nostriches? (As in “I can’t wait to share this news with Nostr!”)

b) The protocol elements that focus on allowing the above-mentioned "people of Nostr" to talk to each other, as part of what isn’t really a social network but is more like a forum, where it kinda feels like everyone knows everyone?

c) The protocol elements that facilitate the operation of what we might call a bonafide decentralised social network, with various disparate and potentially insulated communities, such if we include the Japanese and Chinese Nostr communities in our envisioning of what Nostr is, and also if we remove any notion of Bitcoin as being "core" or "guiding" or even important at all?

d) The protocol that facilitates person-to-person commutation in any context, including outside of a “social network” context, such as in isolated B2B deployments (obviously we can’t talk about X that way) and in which case things like decentralisation, anonymity and censorship resistance may not be relevant at all?

e) Just the general blob of websocket relay tech that could be integrated into the backend of a car air-conditioning unit or whatever else, with no necessary relevance to person-to-person interaction, or shared interests, or anything else social-gluey?
