Here is a little article about what was broken with NIP-03 and how i fixed it.
Unfortunately the blossom server gods seem to hate me, so the beefy android APK and zapstore release will have to wait. But you can always build it yourself from the repository. Links to the repository and the two NIPs are in the article. Devs please have a look, especially @utxo the webmaster ๐งโ๐ป because i abused wisp to make the client :). And @Vitor Pamplona because i think amethyst is the only client that uses NIP-03 anyway i think.

Writing a book about Nostr
Ceterum censeo NIP-3b omnibus esse utendum
Test ๐
Here is what happened:
I have build a system that, among other things, looks up timestamped posts on Nostr. Once found, it did a bunch of things to them including republishing them (which is the bug). The posts i accidentally republished are a random set of timestamped posts.
Here are two originals i could easily find because they have hashtags.

Hello people, I am just as confused as you are, don't worry.
Situation should be contained; when you play with robot fire you sometimes burn your fingers. Not sure i had a swastika tranny flag and boy rothbard dinners on my bingocard though, LOL.
Sorry for the spam.

HI Nostr,
Its so very late that the birds remind me it is very early.
But, i / the robot, produced a new type of OTS handling on Nostr, to replace NIP03.
Everything except this post (yes i handpeckt this entire thing) is written by the bot, so especially at this stage take things with a grain of salt, because even I have not read this NIP it published yet:

But there is not just a spec, there is a full implementation for relays, clients and a special database designed to handle and store OTSproofs. All together in what is called the OTSuite.
With 3 different GUI apps, for each system one:
A db that shows you in a fancy way that, and how, things are verified (and a bunch of settings and knobs and bells and whissles)
There is a client that can apply the new timestamping method on Nostr events right now today!
And an OTS aware relay:
They are all connected such that this post from @npub1ej49...ndrm came up, when the client found a bunch of 1040 events, and wondered what original events were tied to them. I decided to ''upgrade'' his event, a little demo-spec that performs the new trick on the old NIP03 standard.
I marked the event ID so you can see it is the same as here in the OTS proof database, what it indeed passes verify. The client extracts OTS proofs from kind1040 events, and sends them to the db automatically:
But as you can see, the db itself is fully capable of verifying all the proofs. Even Peter Todd's old NIP03 style proof, because it is just another OTSproof after all.
Things land on the relay just fine.
Thats it.
I want to reiterate that I have no idea what the robot wrote, other than that it works. so be careful. It is opensaus:

Decentralized GitHub alternative over Nostr
Barely any of having accounts on these legacy platforms in order to go Morpheus mode to shill Nostr is hilariously ironic
