The above is my nostr public key. It’s how you can find me on nostr, the open social network protocol (I first wrote about it here on February 11 of this year).
Nostr is to social media what Bitcoin is to money — a decentralized alternative that is immune to government intervention.
This week nostr is experiencing another surge in popularity after the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov (which underlines the increasingly anti free-speech posturing of the West).
Besides the fact that you own your identity on nostr, another unique use case is that nostr integrates and incentivizes direct payments between users.
Getting started is now very easy. Download the Primal app here — of many nostr clients it is one of the most straightforward. Once you’ve created your account, find me using my public key in the headline of this post.
