Three instances of nostrcheck running on different #thenostr users servers 💜

My part of the deal is done, just need some clients to take a chance on NIP96 and the magic is done.

For those who don't know, NIP96 allows you to add and remove media servers in a similar way as we do now with relays. Nostrcheck server can be installed in your home server to be sovereign of your data (with all its potential, NIP05, lightning redirections, multimedia hosting, etc).

I think this is something very necessary for the protocol. What would happen if tomorrow one of the existing media providers closes down? We cannot leave this centralized.

The NIP standardizes the communication between client and media servers. It allows to publish a URL with the data of your server and any client nostr must have a list (similar to relay) to add them, delete them, etc.

See, for example the URL of nostrcheck.me

https://nostrcheck.me/api/v2/nip96

Here is the draft of the NIP, it is already well worked out among many people:
