We have begun active coding of a new Nostr relay. Code name: Replicatr. Some very novel stuff planned with a focus on discovery and scaling data.
We will create a product website for it in Q1.
It will be open source and written in GO with some Rust.
More info to come after the holidays.

I agree here. We need diversity and also methods for people to create content streams that align with specific interests. Nostr = btc is fine for a starting place but it needs to be broader than that to go mainstream. Conversely we need nostr apps that are more than Twitter like timelines. Apps with private relays were cohorts of people can work on things with specific intent. We are building a nostr slack for that use case. Devs who want to help on this project are free to DM me anytime. We are also looking at a Reddit alternative with a beautiful UI where topics and communities of focus are easier to find and cultivate.

Not to be overly political but would RFK Jr becoming president be a positive form of resistance/change? He is a BTC supporter and for empowering citizens but some of his positions are challenging for the mainstream.

A fair point and goal. Though if we can create topic communities people can inhale whatever they want. But to go mainstream crypto heaviness will make it tougher to grow.

One more thing. In addition to building a Slack alternative on Nostr & embedding a mini Nostr client in our existing apps we are launching a public relay on some decent iron.
The server is based in Switzerland and the datacenter runs primarily on geothermal and hydroelectric.
We should have the relay ready to go early next week and we will share it widely. More will come after that.
We want to help and this is a baby step.

2023-10-20 22:37:26

I have to say after living on every monolithic social app for over 15 years Nostr by far has the most engaging and welcoming community of people I have met. Also some of the most optimistic. There is so much potential in this protocol and you all know it. The connection with BTC (& payments) is almost gravy to what Nostr can help people build.

That I recall. So I guess I should have phrased it as truly private chats or channels (group DMs).
Assume if we host a private relay for biz users (start ups) that would be a step.
XMPP is the other option for the chat part of the Nostr Slack.

2023-10-20 16:44:03

So when do we think encrypted DMs (1to1 and Group) with come to Nostr? As we design out our Slack alternative (on Nostr) private chats, channels, etc come into play.
Thoughts on how to offer these features? The relay behind this could be private for paid users (think biz users) but public for communities, social cause groups, academics, etc.

I agree. You need a core engine which is broad base topically and then use that larger whole to spin off vertical or micro topic communities of interest. And something more elegant and tangible vs an algo-based filters on your streams. They will want channels, roles, mods, etc.
At my company we are going to embed a nostr client inside our community app so people can plug into a general topic stream and then spawn their own micro communities from popular topics from the main stream that is nostr today.
In legacy terms, combining Discord with Twitter where Twitter topics that hit critical mass spawn discord communities that are filled with users much faster.
So imagine levels of post engagement. I like a post so I share it. I zap a post. I join a community that is aligned with the topic of a post(s).
