  Nostr Implementation Possibilities

  

My vote is for extended keys, something based off HD Wallets:

Easy rotation and recovery of individual keys, but you do have to protect your master seed.

Nostr also supports user verification through DNS hostnames.

I have been seeing a lot of shilling for mastadon lately, so I thought I would step in and shill Nostr for a bit.

Fun facts about Nostr:

* Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It is an odd acronym, but I like it.

* Nostr uses websockets and relays to build a really simple P2P network. We also steal a few ideas from bitcoin (ECDSA ids, schnorr-signed events).

* Relays are simply dumb data stores for events that clients publish and subscribe to.

* Clients don't trust relays to be honest, so all events are self-signed. Your pubkey is your userid.

* It is stupid simple to build a Nostr client. You can easily do it in less than 400 lines of JavaScript. And it runs in the browser.

I wouldn't say that. In practice, everyone tests Mastodon first since it is the most popular implementation.

Here are the ones gotosocial have issues with: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/projects/...
