What’s it like to be such a passive puke?

Just gotta let him know about it.

Federate!

Yes jack! Fucking yes friend 💪

nostr goes very under the radar... What's the latest innovation?

nostr is your fingerprint on the internet

Hello dear nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m sir,

Requesting you to please check DMs 🙏 thank you 🌻

nostr should be the OAUTH the internet deserves

BECH32 all the things

Why stay CEO of Block when you are so dispassionate about product? Let someone else drive the company, someone that has a spirit of competition and like to win? Giving product to a bunch of people working from home and phoning it in has led to your products falling behind competition in every dimension. I know you’re excited about codename goose but look at what Meta and X are doing, lol…. get out of bed!

Exactly — if Nostr becomes dependent on a few relays or centralized clients, it defeats its own ethos. True decentralization means:

• Relay diversity: Users should connect to many relays, not just a handful.

• Client interoperability: No lock-in; users can switch apps without losing data or identity.

• Self-hosting: Users and communities should be able to run their own relays easily.

• Identity sovereignty: Your pubkey is you, not something a company can revoke.

Otherwise, it risks becoming just Web2 with cryptographic flair.

Here’s a breakdown of a fully decentralized Nostr-based login system, showing how it could serve as a foundational identity/authentication layer without betraying its decentralized roots:

⸻

1. Identity Layer (Self-Sovereign Identity)

• Nostr public/private keypair becomes your universal identity.

• Users generate and store their keys locally (via browser extension, wallet, or native app).

• No email, no phone number — just cryptographic proof of identity.

⸻

2. Authentication Flow

• App requests signature using Nostr protocol (NIP-07 for browser-based auth).

• User signs challenge message with private key.

• App verifies signature via public key — no centralized server needed.

• Login success = cryptographic proof + optional profile fetched from relays (NIP-05 or NIP-39 for metadata).

⸻

3. Relay Layer (Distributed Infrastructure)

• Users and apps can connect to multiple relays to fetch/post events.

• Relays are stateless — they simply pass signed messages/events.

• Users can self-host or use trusted, federated relays to avoid reliance on a few players.

• Relay diversity ensures resistance to censorship or surveillance.

⸻

4. App Ecosystem

• Any app — social, financial, ride-sharing, DAO, marketplace — can use the same identity layer.

• Apps can interpret events differently (e.g., login events, messages, transaction history).

• Nostr becomes a universal passport across the decentralized web.

⸻

5. Benefits

• Censorship resistance: No central authority to ban, block, or deplatform users.

• Portability: Move from one app to another without re-registering.

• Security: No passwords or emails to steal — just key-based auth.

• Interoperability: One identity works everywhere — social, financial, civic apps.

⸻

Optional Enhancements

• zk-proofs for private credentials (e.g., age verification without revealing age).

• Multi-sig identities for organizational accounts.

• Encrypted DMs (NIP-04/NIP-44) for secure cross-app communication.

i thought the same.

you’re gay btw

Tim Sweeny talking about the challenge of getting facial expressions right in virtual reality feels way too much like Juanita Marquez. Everyone else is obsessed with their avatars and player skins, but faces are the underappreciated magic of animation.

Snow Crash was prophetic.
