NOSTR: Freedom of Algorithmic Choice
summary
Nostr panel argues concrete wins and open problems: the zap spec drives real money flow (developer reports 200,000 paid invoices and roughly one BTC earned from zaps after previously seeing ~10 payments/month), clients like Damus and Iris exist (Iris reports Iris 30,000 usernames), relays cause UX and spam pain so clients move toward an autopilot outbox model, proposals include Arc and Lightning alternatives, a Signal double-ratchet DM proof-of-concept and MLS for group encryption, and marketplaces, order books and visual social-graph tools are proposed but not yet widely deployed.
