Trustroots is a social network of travelers and hosts that offer couches. Founded in 2014, 140k members in 2026. We're working on moving this onto nostr. Nostroots is an initiative to transition Trustroots, the platform for sharing, hosting, and community building, onto the nostr network. By leveraging the unique decentralized and open-source nature of nostr, nostroots aims to enhance Trustroots' community-focused ethos with greater privacy, security, and user autonomy.

Good to see opencollective on nostr. And it's also a good moment to point out that Trustroots will never issue tokens. It's a community of 120k+. There is no need for rewards. People contribute by being good guests and good hosts. Money or any form of token would spoil this. We can have trust relations, and ideally we'll figure out a good way to do this on nostr, but we don't need (or want) tokens for this.

Flutter or React Native? We're gonna drop our experimental nostr-map prototype and build a new app around geographical notes. Which framework should we pick? #asknostr

We looked at moving trustroots.org towards federated protocols such as matrix or activitypub. Federation means the user still relies on an individual (or org, which is still one or more individuals) running a server and on domain names. The lack of well-defined profile portability makes such a migration an almost pointless exercise, taking us from centralized to DINO (decentralized in name only). https://nostr.com/comparisons/mastodon #whynostr
