#nostr is digital by other means.

#bitcoin is the global state. #nostr is the global store.

With #nostr, everyone is their own superuser. This model is radically different than the platform fortress models that we have today, where every (usually commercial) platform ends up being a feudal system of absolute domination and rent extraction. #nostr flips the old modesl on their head because every npub is its own root of authority and all npub data are signed events, authoritative (public and private with nip44), and held by the network (i.e. relays). This is a radically different architecture than exists with ‘Web 2.0’ applications. With #nostr, there is no need to store data in the ‘cloud’ (I.e., somebody else’s computer ), just put it on a relay. No one stops this train…

The climb was worth the view.

With #nostr, the network is the custodian.

Have a look at

Npub.pro

- it just went live yesterday. Also have a look at login with Nostr DM - it is beautifully simple and I am wondering why I never saw this possibility until now. In short, you enter in your nip05 address, it resolves the pubkey sends you an encrypted DM with a one-time-code, which you enter and you are logged in! This makes me even more bullish for #nostr ... for any npub holder we can do pay-to-npub (sending ecash via encrypted dm) and now we can do login-with-npub. Beyond awesome!!! @Npub.pro @brugeman @HaloKat #ecash #p2npub

Incredible.

Login with NIP-05 Npub DM is all I want for authentication now.

All this talk about separating money from the state (which I agree with), but I think the far more important and immediate imperative is to separate money from identity. With the shift to electronic payment systems, the unintended consequence was to combine identity with money into the ‘account’ concept which is basically a ledger with your name on it. People began to treat this as equivalent as money and voila, the state discovered a new lever with which to govern. Now with #ecash, we now have the ability to separate identity from money and create digital bearer tokens that can exist outside of any one system as opposed to a ‘payment instruction’ that exists at the mercy of a payment system with your identity as the possible hostage. #Cashu #ecash
