Unpopular opinion:
Nostr is more advanced than Bitcoin.
There is no obvious reason why Bitcoin The Protocol should only be implemented in one Bitcoin Core software package.
There could be n number of software packages that work exactly the same. So long as their input and output match up, the throughput shouldn't matter.
You could simply write a Bitcoin Core test, and run it over any package, to see if it's compatible. Tests are dynamic specifications that leave the implementation open.
Not running Core here.

What are you running?
Just saw that BTCD is written in Go and Libbitcoin is written in C++.
And there is BitcoinJ in Java.
And the proof of that is we absolutely can establish a parallel peer to peer exchange through Nostr.
I can offer a service and be paid with whatever the other part has to offer that interest me, using sat as a temporary insurance token. To be returned to the service taker after the delivery of the main product or service.
Interesting thought that I'd never considered, but it makes sense.
