Blockchain Developers United Toronto – Let’s learn Nostr Protocol! A social network based on bitcoin signatures
This is a tutorial open for beginers. Please bring your laptop. The tutoiral will be in Javascript and use git. So if you could try installing nodejs and git before arriving it will help make sure things move smoothly.
Nostr is the simplist and most decentralized social media protocol out there. Using the same cryptography as bitcoin Nostr messages (events) function independent of the servers that “relay” messages solving problems plauging other parts of the fediverse(decentralized social media) such as email, RSS, Mastodon(ActivityPub) and Matrix Protocol. Oh and every single account using Nostr protocol can recieve bitcoin even on the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
