It can become the backbone or foundation of an entire new internet. IP addresses and domain names can be replaced with npubs and blockchain-based usernames (that's a way blockchains might end up being intertwined) Internet service providers can be replaced by mesh networks, nostr keys could be integrated there Blockchain tech isn't fundamentally tied to nostr though, there could be lots of nostr use cases / nostr users who don't use any of the blockchain related stuff

Nice one man, cheers for that, I wasn't a million miles off, just didn't have a clue on the how. I understood that web2 infrastructure could change to blockchain tech, but didn't know it extended to nostr. Very interesting, and as you say IPSs wouldn't then be needed. Also, very interesting that nostr can sit alone for users outside of blockchain. Which is more stable/reliable (nostr v blockchain)? Or is it a case by case basis? Pros and cons.

Overall I'd consider big chain networks like Bitcoin a lot more reliable/stable than nostr

So it's tested at scale over many years that proves its worth. Nostr needs to keep growing.

Ps. I can't seem to zap you ⚡️😕

It's just you I can't zap, is that an opt out thing?

Yes, I opt out for your safety because I don't want you to be put on a terrorist watch list for zapping my anti military industrial complex memes

Fair doos man.

Trying to piece my patch knowledge together. Am I right in thinking that blockchain is this immutable, "transactional" network with some sort of consensus? Where as nostr, to its benefit, is a freer/less protocol based decentralised network? (I appreciate NIPs do offer a form of consensus).

Yeah, that's pretty accurate

Cheers man, appreciate the schooling
