How is everything still running so smoothly 😂 this protocol is crazy.
Discussion
No blockchain.

What do you mean? Nostr uses *the* blockchain. The only one that matters.
Alright that got a chuckle.
But actually… 😁
There is no blockchain underlying the Nostr protocol. That’s why it works.
I know what you meant, of course. But apart from LN integration being part of the NIP protocols, it's arguable that Bitcoin is “underlying” it, at least at the social & driving adoption level.
Bitcoin isn't built within nostr, but nostr may well need Bitcoin to succeed (unknown one way or the other, but definitely plausible).
That’s a fair statement. Nostr may have needed Bitcoin for the initial success and adoption. I’m not sure about in the long term though. So it’s definitely still unknown.
People might be confused and think Nostr is a protocol built on bitcoin, which it’s not, and any web3 projects that attempt to use a blockchain for a communication protocol that requires a token are doomed to fail. The companies behind these have no vision, all they have is an exit strategy.
I know ascii compresses very well, but not so sure about sha256 hashes
I mean here we are 40 years later wondering the same thing about TCP/IP and SMTP, etc. I've always held it as a miracle that computers and the internet work at all. Nostr is just building on that foundational principal of maximum KISS, which is what gives it a fighting chance.
No KYC
its awesome
right??
crazy is the keyword here 🫡💜🤙
thank you for such amazing update 🫂🙏
I’m now Damus and WoS Zap enabled 🤙⚡️⚡️Works great Will ✅
Zapmezing dude !!
Thanks 2 u
Well, WoS has been suffering daily outages 😆 but besides that it's mostly been smooth sailing.
On the web, with Brave browser, it is ridiculously fast.
You’re just a genius at what you do keep it up ⚡️✨
