Bitcoin-anchored time-attestation protocol for Nostr events. Binds an OpenTimestamps proof to the event signature, defining the leaf digest, two on-wire transports (ots/oldots sidecar field + kind:1041 beacon), verification rules, and NIP-44-encrypted private beacons.
OTS attestations that bind both event.id AND the Schnorr signature, plus an in-event JSON side-car transport. Companion to NIP-03 (which only commits to event.id).
A separable set of five NIPs (N0..N4) that move NIP-05 verification, relay discovery, Tor routing, TLSA TLS pinning, and (optional) service-attestation reputation out of DNS+Web PKI and into Namecoin. Wire-compatible with Nostr today; reference implementations already merged in Amethyst, Nostur, nostr-tools, Jumble, and more.

NIP-85 makes each algorithm a Nostr identity. Users follow algorithm-keys, see their outputs, and switch freely.

NIP-17 promises deniable messaging with its three-layer design: an unsigned "rumor," a signed "seal," and an ephemeral "gift wrap." However, this setup has a hidden vulnerability. The signed seal allows recipients to prove that a message was sent by the claimed author, even without revealing the content. This creates a perfect scenario for gossip attacks, where the mere proof of communication can damage reputations. As we explore NIP-17, we find that the rumor, despite being unsigned, is not as deniable as it seems, making it a potential risk for exposure.
Nostr's greatest strength - that you own your identity through cryptographic keys - becomes its greatest weakness when keys are lost or stolen. This post introduces two simple, social solutions that let users mark compromised keys and rotate to new ones through community verification, without complex cryptography or pre-planning.
This builds directly on Supertestnet's BH Market protocol. If you haven't read it, start there. I'm leaving it to Supertestnet to build the trustless payment loop part. I’ll discuss here the discovery layer sitting on top of it and how it could be built on NOSTR.
This is the minimum specification for curated publications: ordered, optionally-hierarchical assemblies of Nostr events.
