Do people in this sub know about nostr?

Like the title says. Just curious if you know that nostr exists.

In case you don’t know, nostr is very similar to Bitcoin as in it’s not a company, but a protocol for communication.

I jokingly call it a Pleb-to-Pleb communication network.

While on the surface, it now looks like any social media platform, its inside mechanics are much more interesting.

What makes nostr a Bitcoiners heaven, is the fact that the lightning network is baked in the design. You can tip (they are called Zaps) people directly for the value they bring, of course you will be Zapped for sharing good content as well.

It’s really fun. It’s no place to farm Sats, as you will probably be spending everything you get tipped on other people 😅 but that’s the fun part really.

I sometimes think of it as the Bitcoiners Contact list. Almost everyone there has a Lightning address willing to receive Bitcoin.

Any way check it out. This site gives you a glimpse of the users, how many Sats they sent/received and their general social graph: https://nostr.band/ (this is like mempool.space for nostr)

If you like to check out nostr. You can do that using Damus on iOS, Amethyst on Android, and many other web clients on desktop, like snort, Primal: here is a quick link: https://www.nostrapps.com/
