Nostr and Secure Scuttlebutt share a feature where neither has strong enforcement of timestamps. This can make ordering messages tricky. The scuttlebutt solution to this is something called a tangle, it’s a DAG. It’s particularly useful in creating data structures with multiple writers. This could be a comment thread to a post, or it could be collaborativily edited document or shared social database of some other sort.

I thought it’d be helpful to share as we figure similar stuff out for nostr.
