A quick guide to Nosdag: what it is, what it's for, and how it works.
Nosdag is a desktop Nostr client with an IPFS node built into it. The name is from “Nostr + Merkle DAG.” Merkle DAG is the magic behind IPFS.
Your keys and relays still do identity and signaling. But your notes, media and history live on an IPFS node running on your own machine, not in a relay's database. Other Nosdag users pull your notes straight off your node while you're running the app. Everything still gets published to relays too, so people reading you in Damus or Amethyst see you exactly as before.
Bring the npub you already have as the profile, follows and relays come with you.
