QOTD: What are your thoughts on nostr?
@mckinley@twtxt.net full of crypto spam. Slow. Bad UI’s.
@mckinley@twtxt.net absolute rubbish.
I fear it’s a rather complicated protocol.
The core protocol looks very simple but I’m sure you can get in the weeds with extensions.
you can’t really change your keys without losing your identity
I think you’re right but that seems reasonable to me. Your public key is your identity, similar to certain cryptocurrencies or Tor hidden services. Why would you want to change your key without changing your identity?
Something I’ve noticed about the Nostr people is that they aren’t the same as the software minimalism people. It seems like it’s all JavaScript, Go, and Rust with dependency counts in the hundreds.
