Read_699 - What is Nostr? How Does it Work? And Why Does it Matter? [BTCtimes}

One thing to make abundantly clear: Nostr is a protocol. It’s a set of rules that servers and clients use to communicate (just like Bitcoin, email or Bittorrent). Nostr is not an app nor a “platform” (like Twitter, Facebook, etc.), but many applications can be built on top of Nostr. In the words of Edward Snowden, “If a platform is a silo, a protocol is a river: no one owns it, and everyone is free to swim.” – Walker V. If you have been hearing about this Nostr thing, and wanted to know what it was and how to find and use it... this is the episode for you. The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours." — Ayn Rand (Atlas Shrugged) Learn more about your ad choices.
