Good morning… that TikTok vid I made about #Nostr is popping off, but riddle me this: why do people keep jumping in my comments claiming Nostr was made by the CIA? 🤨 it just doesn’t seem controllable enough for those folks.

Link to video?
Or perhaps upload it so we can view here pls
TikTok - Make Your Day
Maybe upload at nostr.build or similar hosts
Haha same here.. I am lost.. but hopefully more ppl migrate here.
Very well done Jessica!
@fiatjaf is the head of the CIA. But this should remain a secret. 👀🤣
Lol it's just a knee jerk reactionary reflex to say the CIA or similar is responsible for such and such.
It's probably projection from tik Tok peoples subconsciously realizing they are using a heavily controlled app by intelligence agencies... Source? Trust me bro 😈🤙🏽.
Yeap 🔥

Media hosting is coming, we just haven't standardized on anything yet. Torrents could work, @hzrd149 is working on something called blossom that might work well.
BTW, you should try coracle.social (I wrote it)

Nostr was created by our friend @fiatjaf and you can verify it on GitHub:)
Welcome!
More like ciatjaf.
Those are most likely replies from CIA bots.
Because we see eye aye! Ok.. that was lame. I'll go back onto the window ledge.
Appreciate your post! Been here a year and never heard that. I’d say many of us appreciate privacy, some share more than others. 🤷🏻
Nostr is a stupid simple P2P protocol that works, built by builders | Hacker News
Pop Eye said
It's good to be skeptical. Verify. The apps are open-source and the protocol is open-source
I built my own client and relay so I know the CIA isn't involved in that. You could build your own too.

Atleast they are gonna use #nostr😂
Funny that someone on TikTok is worried about surveillance.
One of the best part of being here is getting to talk to the creators/devs!

Incredible! Keep it up!
Meet the people where they are.
Zap Her!

Well. CIA will say the same - the CIA isn't involved. 🤓
I didn't say to use my app. I said to build your own. Only then can you know the CIA isn't involved.
your video is 🔥 thanks for spreading the word.
Great video!!! If you could do one explaining zaps it would be amazing!

It was the rose colored glasses...
But f the paranoid, they're prolly the real psyops... Nostriches salute you!
It's how some people dismiss the things they haven't put in the works to try to understand while still believing they are intellectually superior.
It does bother some to know the death of ignorance comes
They'll say everything was made by a 3 letter haha.
Yes! It’s the whole CIA/bitcoin ruse all over again to scare people off 😒
Good job on the video. We appreciate the help. Btw I’m not an alphabet soup agent 😂
Welcome 👋🏼🤠
Link?
I’m here from your video! Thanks for posting. Excited to keep learning more!
After I watched your video I closed tiktok and now I been here for hours haha thank you!!
It’s the damn CIA agent @fiatjaf 😂
Even if it was, I'd thank them for doing such a good job.
Doesn’t really matter who made something if it’s open source.
You famous now. 👐
Was it made by the CIA? Wow
Should I be worried?
Them are just bots
Let me add that except for DMs (which probably shouldn't be part of nostr), nostr isn't about secrecy. It doesn't matter if the CIA is involved. As long as your notes get out there. The point is to be public and not be censored, not to be private. If you want privacy you need a different tool.
How ironic.
War is fiat. Study bitcoin.
Link to video?
Anyone got the link to the video?

Doesn’t hurt to use a vpn. All the relays you’re connecting to have your ip address if that’s of any concern
Here's a great tool for helping new ppl get started with #Nostr

nostr is new and confusing but also really cool.
Here is the Tik Tok video that might of unboarded some new people to Nostr. Welcome them all 🫂

Welcome to the fud swamp. We have boats
Everything's gotta be a conspiracy, even when (especially when?) it would make zero logical sense.
I say this as someone who loves me some good conspiracy theories.
Good job
How do we know you're not the CIA? 🤔
I meant the person claiming that nostr was made by the CIA. I don't really have a problem with people using TikTok
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Welcome! If you have questions, use the #asknostr hashtag and someone will hopefully help out. 🙏
Of the decentralized alternatives to mainstream social media, I think Nostr has a good shot. But it will take time.
Welcome! Glad to have you. 🙏
🤟💚
Awesome video!!! Thank you Jessica 🙏🏻
But nostr *was* made by the CIA.
Cringe, introverted autists.
Here’s the creator @fiatjaf ask him 😉
lmfao what 😂
Good shit! 🐮
Anything's possible. The internet was created by #DARPA. I go by the technology. Is it good. Is it useful. Does it fix a problem.
The #Nostr technology seems good. The evolution of social media and the internet. That's all that really concerns me.
#Bitcoin is much the same. The evolution and perfection of hard money, and not a minute to soon..💎💜🧡🦅🗽😊🌎

Great video!
Stockholm Syndrome. They fear hope.
Hh it was the same with Bitcoin. „Bitcoin was made by the CIA“ i think it takes time to understand that both things are not controllable…
Peeped the TikTok comments. Normies have a long way to go - they seem intimidated.
Hi Bryon - get set up with a Bitcoin wallet so we can zap you!
How did u post a 6 min video on nostr? Tried uploading a 30 sec clip and it keeps failing. Do u use a paid relay for storing your videos?
Word
Welcome to the future
Who this lady and why is she wearing orange glasses
Great job with this vid. I will share it multiple times. Please do a follow up in the future and talk about zaps, value for value, and that fact that the government can’t get control of the “centralized management” and coerce them into censorship & and political warfare. There is a lot to explain. You are doing it right!
Who is this replier and why are they talking about me in 3rd person? 😅 orange glasses are to prevent migraines 🫶
Thank you!! It really is exciting
If they like CCCP-made TikTok they're gonna love CIA-made Nostr
I might need one of those
Thought you got orange pilled.
But purple billed is good too.
I like your video, good job
Indeed. Like the code is verifiable. Wouldnt matter who made it if the tech is good.
How will the media hosting work. Is the initial idea WebTorreBT based/related?
I think those tinted glasses are going to ruin your color vision. And welcome!
They get all the credit 🤣
Internet famous! 😅
😅 more than the blue backlight on my device screens? I only use them on a computer 🤙
Yeah the comments have been really interesting. A lot of not understanding. Definitely more bullying than I usually attract but that’s sometimes how people react (with insults) when they are too insecure to admit they don’t understand something. It’s not personal but it is very interesting.
I posted it to TikTok and put the link here. From what I understand only certain clients allow direct video upload (like flare.pub?) - I’m still new here 😄
I paid for personal storage on @nostr.build so I can upload videos myself.
nostr.build media uploader
Image, video and media uploader for Nostr, Damus, Primal, YakiHonne, noStrudel, snort.social, Iris.to, astral.ninja, and most all nostr clients. Up...
Direct upload can be easily done from clients like #Damus or #Amethyst and generally they use nostr.build as source to upload the video and give you a link to put on the note.
Then just copy a link and use in any client. Primal has good video upload integrated in the client, but dont know whats the limit
Meh. You get to Nostr at the privacy pain point you deserve. In the meantime ignore those who aren’t yet ready.
And a Happy Friday from #China.
The CIA are big supporters of free and open communication, stateless money, and strong encryption technology
Yeah, CIA are the new innovators of the world, they make everything now 😅
Definitely checkout Nostr.build. That’s what you’re looking for to post videos directly!
Nostr.build acct removes video size limits. We are integrated with most clients also.

I love how rich the app ecosystem is here
How did you discover Nostr?
Can I see the video without being on tickytocky?
I believe you can x-out the login prompt and just watch it in browser.
Morning☕😊

I think someone in the comments on her TikTok video mentioned #Nostr
😂
