Nostr research & development

Since I've been online on the internet (1998), I'm highly interested in online communities, social networking and new ways of digital interactions.
The internet has changed radically in the last decade and that change is not serving our interests. It's fair to say the web is broken in many ways. With Nostr we can fix this.

Censorship. - With Nostr you get a resilience communication platform and you can interact through hunderds of relays. Surveillance. - With Nostr there is no central authority trying to observe you. Privacy. - With Nostr you get privacy by default because you decide what you share. Paying with our personal data and attention. - With Nostr you get zaps (micropayments). It's peer-to-peer streaming money. Mental health issues. - With Nostr you're free of toxic and polarizing algorithms. Ownership. - With Nostr you own your data. All data is signed with your own private key. This is the proof the data is yours. Collective traps and walled gardens. - With Nostr all your data is interoperable. Nostr is designed to be interoperable so you can use different clients to view the same data. Centralization and monopolies. - With Nostr there no single point of failure. All data is stored on thousands of relays around the world. No choice. - With Nostr there are many clients you can choose how to interact with others. Limited and absolute. - With Nostr is agnostic by default so you can build anything. Closed systems. - With Nostr you get freedom by default.
