Stuff you publish to your homeserver doesn't have to be signed, so your key doesn't have to be hot.

If one wants to verify if you really said something they have to connect to your homeserver and ask.

This supposedly means that you can do access-control better, since there is no way to distribute your content beyond your home server.

Also because they don't do signatures they don't need a canonical event format, so the content that comes from the homeserver can be of any shape. They like the concept of serving arbitrary files.

Nostr keys can't publish to the BitTorrent DHT, because they use a different signature algorithm.
