It comes on top of http, because web sockets are an http upgrade protocol
It comes below TLS because websockets work with ws and wss
The layers above also nostr can facilitiate, since it is a Turing Complete network
The top layer is provides on-chain committments, which are great. #nostr doesnt have this yet, but it could be done by adding a txid to a tag in a nostr post
what would be an argument to choose to add that (tx id tag) to nostr?
#nostr is permissionless development, anyone can add a tag
What are the advnatages of on chain committments? You can do things like RGB or Taro:
- prevention of double spending
- smart contracts
- tamper proof history
- auditable records
Really much much more
thanks, dont really understand point 2 and 4 (dont know the concepts)
but some other questions popped up:
- I thought Nostr posts already were tamper proof if it gets relayed through a public relay, no?
- Could on-chain com. fix what's broken about Zaps rn?
(i just read that it is kind of broken rn since people can sned zaps to themselves etc. which could be a potential problem if zaps got integrated into an algo)
#nostr posts are tamper proof. But the time ordering is not. Let's say I have a signed spend function, I could do two posts at the same time, and the relay would not have a way to know which was first. Using an on chain commitment you can get finality by using an on-chain tx. This allows you to have a tamper proof SERIES of events, such as a ledger or contracting system
It's a world computer on steriods!
I thought Nostr used opentimestamps- wouldn’t this solve the timing attestation?
There is a NIP for Peter Todd's OTS. However OTS just does proof of publication
His ideas evolved form OTS to Single-Use Seal. Instead of ONE proof of publication, it is a CHAIN of publications. A block chain within a blockchain, so to speak
Very powerful. This is the technique used in RGB, Taro, LNP/BP. So in a sense it's the next step on from OTS.
Proof of publication is great, but adding Single-Use Seals can do everything a smart contract platform can do, over #nostr
Shitcoiners so fucked
would Nostr*on-chain mirror BitDNS? or is that something different?
