Jack Dorsey donates to develop decentralized social network protocol [pdf]
- leesalminen 4y agoToday, Jack Dorsey, donated 14BTC (~$250,000) to the developers of the nostr protocol. From their Github repo[0]: The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all. It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.

- mikece 4y agoWhy create a new protocol -- what's wrong with ActivityPub?
- leesalminen 4y agoI think one issue that's been discussed recently is the portability of identity. If you get banned on the server you registered on, you lose your identity and followers. This doesn't happen with nostr.
- mikece 4y agoOkay -- I really like that idea! Would be interesting if all of your posts and content were similarly your own and federated node servers could only decide whether to suppress some or all of what you post but not delete them.

- colesantiago 4y agoI've never met, seen anybody, or anything anywhere by anyone that indicates that bitcoin or any crypto is being used at all that is gaining adoption. And before anyone tells me that 0.01% population uses it like any place in Africa, this is still extremely close to nobody using it.
