**The Seed Was Planted in 2009**
Fifteen years ago—on 23 October 2010—Satoshi Nakamoto dropped a quiet bombshell on the BitcoinTalk forum. Someone had suggested bundling short messages inside Bitcoin transactions. Satoshi’s reply was instant and surgical:
> “It would be unwise to have permanently recorded plaintext messages for everyone to see. It would be an accident waiting to happen.
> If there’s going to be a message system, it should be a **separate system parallel to the Bitcoin network**. Messages should not be recorded in the block chain. The messages could be signed with the Bitcoin address keypairs to prove who they’re from.”
That single paragraph is the **original NOSTR white-paper**.
A censorship-resistant messaging layer, signed by Bitcoin keys, running **parallel** to the money—exactly what we have today.

Nostr = Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

He shipped the first relay in weeks. No ICO. No foundation. No roadmap. Just a protocol so simple you can implement it in an afternoon.
**2025: We Are Living Satoshi’s Vision**
Sixteen years after the Bitcoin white-paper, fifteen years after Satoshi’s forum post, we are running **NOSTR LONDON** for over a year now—the meetup that turns a 2010 forum thread into real-world lightning.
Every month coders, artists, podcasters, and cypherpunks pack into the Blockwork Gallery
**"If you use NOSTR, you are ahead of 99.9 % of the Bitcoin curve, not mentioning normies".** - Anon2140
You already own:
- A **decentralised identity** that no platform can ban
- A **contact list with built-in payment rails** (follow = Lightning address)
- **Community relays** you can fund with a subscription zap
- **End-to-end encrypted DMs** that never touch a corporate server
- **Live streaming** that pays the creator per minute
- **Long-form articles** that live forever, signed by your npub
- **Dapps**
**NOSTR is not “another Twitter”**
NOSTR is the **parallel layer Satoshi described**—the free-speech nervous system sitting on top of Bitcoin’s indestructible money.
**We are the early ones.**
It feels damn good to be here—building the thing Satoshi sketched in a forum reply before most of us had heard of Bitcoin.
**Join us.**
