Nostr moved user identity from the application layer into the protocol layer.
I wonder how many people grasp the profundity of this.
Discussion
I do not. yet.
Without Inscripting bs to the timechain.
Bullish on Microstrategy Orange. Now we don’t have to use Nostr thankfully. 😅
Isn't that the main driver? Isn't that what makes Nostr so different and so cool? The identity just exists.
Where can I read more about this?
Not sure how much writing there is on the topic. Just think about how you sign in to mainstream apps today and how your user identity is handled there. Then think about how you sign into nostr apps/clients
Isn’t that the whole reason a lot of us are here, no longer are we a slave to the whims of the application, we can just jump to another at will
It’s a pretty good reason
I think it was nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s who first called Nostr a refugee camp of exiles and the censored
I thought an inscription was required to preserve and verify identity. Someone really popular on X told me that 🤔
Yup. When I realized that **every** single event is signed by an identity (npub)
Identity is a Layer2 in Nostr.
To be honest, I still have no idea what people mean by identity
I don't get it, so subtract me.
A facebook account is different than a twitter account. On nostr, all the application use the same identity at the protocol level
There may be a better option available 🤣
