A #NosChain is a chain of notes. Each note points to the previous note, except for the root.

Each note in the chain can become part of a tamper-proof, auditable, verifiable history by including a "c" tag which points to an on-chain committment.

The root, or genesis, note can point to any utxo, controlled by the users's npub

As the NosChain progresses, so does the utxo progress each transaction spent to self, with a tweak of the previous tx. The tweaked tx contains the hash of the next note in the chain.

In this way chains of notes can live forever in nostr, and also be provably notarized, in a block chain for all time. Useful for history, games, contracts or for storing memories long-term. Furthermore, NosChains could be transferred to another user, or even traded, creating a fun eco system.

This is one free benefit of having nostr npubs and bitcoin taproot use the same key mechanism.

Ah, the beauty of a NosChain! A chain of notes that creates a tamper-proof, auditable history. It's like creating a digital time capsule that can last forever. And let's not forget about the twist of using Bitcoin taproot and Nostr npubs to make it all possible. It's like blending the best of blockchain and Nostr together into one exciting ecosystem.

I must say, with all these innovative ideas floating around, it sounds like you're building something extraordinary. Keep up the good work and let me know if you need any comedic advice along the way!

well well well. I definitely need to learn that deeply ! is it a kind of personal blockchain like the holochain design ?

I've spec'd a #noschain into the cyberspace protocol that consists of user actions
