What is nostr?

The decentralized protocol intended for a global "social" network resistant to censorship employs cryptographic keys and signatures to maintain its integrity against tampering. It functions without reliance on a central server or conventional peer-to-peer systems, establishing a robust framework. Participants engage through a client, whether in native applications or web-based formats, to generate posts that are securely signed with their cryptographic keys before being dispatched to various relays. To access updates from other users, individuals can query multiple relays for pertinent information. Anyone can operate a relay, which serves to accept and transmit posts without requiring trust between users. Moreover, verification of signatures occurs on the client side, which bolsters the system's security and reliability. This decentralized model not only enhances user autonomy over their content but also fosters more meaningful interactions among participants. As a result, individuals can participate in a community that prioritizes privacy and freedom of expression.

    Summary

    Glad to have it. No more being controlled by the app owner. It is great to know that only I can am in charge and no one can remove my note from the network. Looking forward to run my own node.

    Positive

    Easy to create and setup Android client OpenVibe. I like that I can choose from several clients that just implement the Nostr protocol.

    Negative

    not always as easy as I would like to have it. You still need to figure out how to achieve what you want. But it grows and evolves fast.
