Hello Nostr, who wants a Pubky invite code?

I have never "zapped" and I don't think I ever will.

Or is there a more ideal solution being rolled out?

While you could take the time to wire PKDNS to any other protocol, like Nostr, you would effectively just end up building the Pubky system itself, which we have already put a lot of work into!

It is our candid opinion that nostr's relay model is naive, and obsoleted by PKDNS + homeservers.

There is no enforced method required for encryption or private data because PKDNS is routing to data anywhere, which could mean public data or permissioned data, however your homeserver desires.

That said, what we have built is a homeserver, indexer and app interface that "speak" PKDNS, and our "semantic social graph" concepts.

We are currently in R&D for our first private data primitives that we intend to support intentionally, and deciding how forward-looking (complex) we want to be.

Regarding SimpleX specifically, it isn't something I have a lot of experience with, but one of the core architects behind Pubky's design is also a big a fan.

Aside from that, we do already have a vibe-coded e2ee chat demo here, but all of the activity and encrypted files are public in this example.

This "Bitcoin Monsters" collection is designed in a heavy metal / comic book style with fun flaming Bitcoin logos.

Visit https://tf.style for more fresh designs!

Pretty cool set (after much weeding)!

I'll sell it to you for 10 million bitcoins :)

Why is this brand called Tar & Feathers?

Tarring and feathering was a form of vigilante justice where tar (sometimes hot) was painted onto a victim. Then feathers were thrown on to humiliate them.

This brand spits in the face of people who try to control you and make you conform to social norms. T&F designs are meant to empower the individual to express themselves outside of formality.

There are no suits, only sincere creative expression and a joy for beauty in all things.
