I'm a tech enthusiast exploring the intersection of Nostr, AI, privacy, and crypto - and now vibe-coding..

Big on Linux, obsessed with open systems...

In my downtime, I’m into photography, music making, and riding motorcycles — anything that gets me thinking or moving.

Nostr-Native Service Discovery and Trust (Draft v0.1)

Exploring a small, Nostr-native way for apps to discover and verify pubkey-owned services. Instead of relying on DNS and public CAs, this approach uses signed service records, key pinning, and optional third-party attestations to let Nostr apps securely connect to user-run backends. It is intentionally narrow, experimental, and aimed at builders rather than end users.

Nostr Proposal Kind (Draft)

This document proposes a new Nostr event kind representing **protocol-level proposals**. These events are used to publish, revise, and reference proposals for Nostr conventions, new kinds, or other protocol behaviours directly on Nostr itself.

Nostr as a Place to Share Ideas and Research

Nostr can act as an open, permissionless layer for sharing ideas, theories, and early research. It does not replace journals or peer review, but removes many of the barriers that stop ideas from being shared early. By allowing anyone to publish under a persistent identity, show revision history, and invite open critique, Nostr makes it easier for independent and interdisciplinary work to be seen, discussed, and improved in public.

Why the Decentralized Web is a Good Thing: The Rise of Nostr and the Lightning Network

Nostr, a decentralized social media protocol, and the Lightning Network, a fast Bitcoin payment system, are transforming the internet. Together, they enable censorship-resistant interactions and direct, low-cost transactions, empowering users and creators. This combo offers a more open, fair, and resilient online experience, proving the decentralized web is the future. If you're using Nostr, adding Lightning unlocks even more possibilities.
