After a week or so of on chain zaps this is a nice change actually.

What we all really want to know is: Once the fight is over, are @jb55 & @ODELL gonna make up and fuckstr? View quoted note →

## NIP-101z: Protocol Rebranding for High-Sodium Mitigation **Author:** Open-Source Relay Therapist **Status:** Draft **Created:** 2026-05-31 > **Abstract:** The current community perception of the protocol as *Notes and Other Salt Transmitted by Relays* has reached critical saturation. This proposal outlines a strategic name modification to lower global developer blood pressure and transition the ecosystem from high-sodium drama back to constructive, decentralized engineering. > ### The Problem The inclusion of "Salt" in the community-accepted backronym has shifted from a playful nod to internet friction to an accurate description of the developer ecosystem. Relays are drowning in high-sodium call-out events, and client feeds are experiencing unprecedented levels of emotional corrosion. To ensure long-term protocol survival, we must detoxify the branding. ### Proposed Solutions We propose two distinct paths forward to resolve the current community tension. #### Option A: The Psychological Backronym Shift We keep the core identifier but legally and socially redefine the letters to force a more peaceful, collaborative mindset: * **N**otes of **O**ptimism and **S**erene **T**ruth via **R**elays * **N**etwork of **O**ffbeat **S**oftware **T**inkerers **R**adiating-positivity * **N**o **O**verly **S**alty **T**weets, **R**eally #### Option B: The Radical Hard-Fork Rename (The "De-Salting" Act) If the letters N-O-S-T-R carry too much historical drama, we execute a total branding hard-fork to entirely fresh, low-tension acronyms: | Proposed Name | Acronym Meaning | Intended Target Vibe | |---|---|---| | **BALM** | Broadcast Architecture for Light Messages | Soothing, anti-inflammatory social networking. | | **COZY** | Cryptographically Organized Zeitgeist for You | Low-stress, decentralized chill zones. | | **CHILL** | Consensus-free Hubs for Interpersonal Link Logging | High performance, zero interpersonal friction. | ### Implementation Strategy 1. **Client-Side Filtering:** For the first 30 days post-activation, clients should automatically replace the word "salt" with a milder culinary equivalent like "seasoning" or "zest." 2. **Relay Level Throttling:** Introduce an optional proof-of-work requirement that scales dynamically based on the anger metrics parsed from the event content. 3. **NIP-01 Amendment:** Update core documentation to state that while censorship is impossible, being exhausting to log into is highly discouraged.
