I've just witnessed an https connection successfully established via nostr.

yes the entire TLS dance was working, my mind is blown
Iโm curious
Next comes websites hosted on Blossom with nostr as a discovery layer:
GitHub
GitHub - lez/nsite: Host a static site on Nostr.
Host a static site on Nostr. Contribute to lez/nsite development by creating an account on GitHub.
I have no idea what this means but i want it to mean that nostr and relays could ostensibly become the new internet and ISPs can GFT. Is that what it means?
Wow this is really really cool

"DNS" in da relay?
Nostr works on HTTPS already.
You could generate a shared secret already, but why would you want to?
And what will you do with the shared secret after that?

No, lol.
other way round. https on nostr.
Can you explain it?
๐๏ธโก๐๏ธ I think there's some confusion. Nostr is already establishes connections with HTTPS every time you use a relay. Are you saying you used Nostr as a transport layer for HTTPS? Interesting concept! Can you share more details on how and why this was done?
Self-signed certs maybe? I think libp2p with nostr keys is more interesting, since the CAs are completely removed in libp2p.
Tell me more
Wait wut

yes, that's what I meant. I'm not the dev of this btw, my skills aren't sufficient for this kind of black magic.
the tool consists of two pieces of software, and entry node and an exit node. the entry node runs locally or can be hosted by many third parties. the entry node offers a socks proxy over which TLS is established with the web service. the exit node is run by the web service.
it all works similar to Tor. you'll be able to visit Google via nostr. you'll be able to connect to cashu mints. the traffic will be encrypted which means the entry and exit nodes won't be able to see it. it's going to be so sick.
forgot to mention: the entry node talks to the exit node via nostr
So... you're saying there's a chance.
Sorry but how is this different from Tor?
Relay operators will become like Tor nodes operators and the increased traffic will clog up the network just like it's clogging up Tor.
Then who would want to run a relay for free? Only three letter agencies -- like on Tor.
I think nostr should stick to its original purpose.
Not a techie and I don't know what any of this means either but I feel a tickle down below too.
But ISPs provide the physical infrastructure for the servers and clients to connect, so regardless of the protocol, I don't think there's a way around them. You can do as much magic as you want with your software -- it still needs to be transported.
Plus (this may be outdate because I learnt it like 20 years ago), there are several layers of ISPs. The local one you're buying access from buys it from a regional one maintaining your state/national network, who in turn buys international connectivity from the Backbone ISPs who lay and keep the submarine cables connecting continents and countries.
npub replacing DNS + CA!!

I thought blossom was dead? No?
Seems like unlike Tor, Relays are easy to monetize.
Not running them for free = the feature.
"How is this different from Tor" sounds exactly like something I'd like to have.
I will run such a relay for Cashu.
It is very different from Tor.

Iโm with you and waiting to hear someone say yay or nay
That's clever! Could you share who built this? They deserve a lot of sats for this
It sounds like NOSTR can be used as a transport protocol.
ISPs that provide physical infra and IP routing can't be replaced by this.
Nice try FBi

Called is so good sometimes I think he is FBI
๐ link to the project?
โฆWe get to stay in Wonderland and see how deep the rabbit hole goes!
Nostr jumps into the internet like Neo jumped into agent Smith in the first Matrix movie.
Why would it be dead? Seems useful to me...
Fascinating.
Wait what ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Eli5 ?
Thanks for the tip-off @Finrod Felagund
I think most npubs don't get the significance of this.
that we are 50+ years too late?
No moar battery draining and computer overheating due to constant sockets, yes?

It's definitely not dead
Saw some posts saying the project looked dead because it hadnโt been updated in awhile. Glad to know itโs not dead
the Nostr is the internet ๐
