Europe shot iself in the foot consistently, and for nothing.
I highly recommend considering posting your excellent content on pubky.app
In a year or two, Pubky will have orders of magnitude more DAU than Nostr etc.
It's inevitable because it's unequivocally better.
Isn't this carvello's thing? What makes it better?
Most importantly, Pubky cryptography is objectively better than Nostr. Both harder and faster... Pubky's Ed25519 will always be faster than Nostr's Scp256k1 and this translates to a 4x speed advantage, even up to data payloads of MB/GB/TB.
Pubky's core architecture is built on Public Key Addressable Resource Records (Pkarr) i.e. Kademlia, whereas Nostr relies on relays that claim to be decentralised. Plenty of other reasons too.
I went to their website the last time you told me about it. The first thing they ask for to create an account is a phone number. I turned around and left immediately.
That's not the case. Pubky uses Curve25519 keypairs which can be generated from entropy and are even supported by hardware signers such as NitroKey (with secure element) unlike nostr. The Pubky.app homeserver has a toll (either invite code, or SMS, or pay a few SATs) but the homeserver code is open source so you can run your own to connect to the network, which has the advantage of allowing you to host rich media (pics/videos etc.). I imagine that it'll have a nice GUI like start9 or Umbrel or Cloudron at some point in the future.
Lmk if you'd like an invite code for a homeserver and I'll send you a insecure & tracked DM on nostr.
Honestly, if we have to start hosting a server or something, I don't have the technical skills...
Not necessary unless you're posting lots of big video. And even if you did want to, given your content, I'm pretty sure pubky.app admins would be able to accommodate.
pubky is funded by tether…
Honestly, I spent 405 days on NOSTR. If it doesn't work here, I'd rather burn my PC than start over somewhere else... Sorry
Hmm I see.
What are your objectives for Flash?
Perhaps there's a dev who's down to make a repost bot, so no additional work is required.
I think that's because the devs working on it have to feed themselves, and many of the people leading funds supposedly created to support freedom tech (such as #OpenSats) have very deep and very obvious cognitive bias and priors as a consequence of historic investment decisions. Very sad situation.
@ODELL this is the type of question you should address on your podcast with @John Carvalho
Definitely notable. So are many other cool open source projects like Holepunch, Keet.io and others.
I’m not saying it is good or bad. but it is something to pay attention to.
Fully agree
Europe is doing fine. Putin and Trump are retards tho.
Im pretty sure they would make a repost bot for you within a day, so you probably wouldn't have to do anything.
Leverage isn't always a bad thing.
do you mind explaining to me more about what pubky is i read about it on there website but am still clueless... if you need to you can DM
I was also incredibly skeptical about this.
I took a firmer view on the situation after watching a few YouTube videos about Holepunch. Was admittedly surprised to hear the extent to which they're commited to decentralisation, and I assume that they must be aware that being a majority funder is not a good look...
I have no inside info on this, but it's in the public domain that OpenSats refuse to even talk to the Pubky project due their deep financial collaboration with Nostr (and Nostr's CEO lol)
holepunch is really cool!!! I have looked into that before. but I don’t understand pubky
Do you moan when you wipe?
Shits fired.
It's basically what Nostr could be if they started over from scratch.
Nostr is busted. It started out simple and now it's a mess of laggy and incompatible NIPs, relays, and clients.
The only usable app on Nostr is Primal, IMO (nice work!)
Pubky learned from Nostr's flaws and built a decentralized system architecture that addresses these critical issues.
Also, it has really cool and innovative features and a great UI/UX. They just released a stable and decentralizable stack - that's why I'm shilling it so hard now (and I'm fed up with the bots here).
There's lots a great people and projects on Nostr, but it's become obvious that it's a dead end (and kind of a cult).
The smart, open minded builders are gonna start building their new apps with the Pubky SDK (which is already better than Nostr's and will significantly improve in Q1/Q2)

Nostr vs Pubky: The Basics
Zelensky came out recently looking like a fucking crack head and said the total casualities on the Ukrainian side tops out at 55K.
💀
160K on Russia's side, allegedly. Crazy.
The architecture is complex.
Understanding how PKARR works was the moment of enlightenment for me.
I have an idea:
Build a git platform using the Pubky stack!
You know how git works, right?
(Your arguments imply that you don't)
I open Plume or Amethyst, or Coracle or whatever and stuff loads and I can interact with a community of people I enjoy talking with.
None of what you just listed looks like an improvement on that. What actual benefit does it provide? Tangible, noticeable, real benefit?
None at all from a UX perspective. Too early.
I'm there for the architecture.
Apps will follow.
Is this a genuine, earnest question?
I'll wait and see. It's been a long time coming though and you know how inertia works. Thats why adoption here is slow enough.
Absolutely, so far as I understand it there's no upside serious enough to consider switching. I've been here 3 years next month, I'm building here and having fun. I genuinely think nostr market places are the greatest innovation on nostr so far.
What's the upside to Cavello's work that would make the pain of switching networks worth it?
The pain:
Install Pubky Ring and onboard at Pubky.app
The payoff:
Join a community of real cypherpunks.
Help build the only truly-decentralized platform that can compete with big tech's ecosystems.
Build apps with great UI/UX/DX that can actually scale, attract and retain users, and make money.
P. S. There's no sunk cost in this equation (and that's a fallacy anyway)
Inertia is the problem here. I've invested time and effort here. I keep a minimal footprint on the old book of faces. Yet I don't see a compelling reason to uproot and start over.
Why do you think "uprooting" is necessary?
Serious question
Okay, I'm aware of the sunk cost fallacy, but that doesn't apply here. I asked what makes it so much better that I'd want to make the effort to switch? There's still no compelling reason that I've seen.
The available time is limited, time spent on one thing necessitates less elsewhere. So even if you don't co pretend uproot, you spread your available attention. It's the benefit I'm wondering about.
Permissioned
Reatrded or disingenuous
Nostr has no terms of service
And it's still dead with a shitty UI/UX after how many years?
UX/UI was solved in 2003 by Tom

Where may I access your repo?
How is it decentralized when the only public home server is pubky.app and when you keep referencing the DHT as though it is some decentralized beacon? As far as I can tell the DHT is only used for there pkDNS thing and not for connecting devices to the network. Notwithstanding this if pubky.app shut down most of pubky user base would be gone.
You’re mixing up the bootstrap server with the actual architecture.
Yes, most users are on pubky.app right now. We’re early, so of course there’s a default host. That’s onboarding convenience, not a system dependency.
Your account isn’t “on pubky.app.”
Your identity lives via PKDNS in the millions of DHT nodes that do already exist. Your pubkey points to where your data is hosted, and that location is controlled by YOU.
So if you leave pubky.app, or Synonym's server, you don’t lose your identity, nor your continuity of threads, etc. You just point your key at a new homeserver (self-hosted, private, paid, all are supported). Same key, same social graph, new data location.
The DHT’s job is just like DNS. It answers “where do I find this user’s data?” It’s not meant to carry traffic or connect devices.
If Synonym disappeared tomorrow, users would lose a popular host, not their identities. They’d re-host, update their record, and carry on.
That’s we separate the parts:
- PKDNS
- homeservers
- indexers/apps
So decentralization isn’t “how many homeservers exist today,” it’s whether users are willing to self-host if no one else will host them.
The protocol itself, the entire system, is decentralized, but it supports centralization safely because PKDNS provides a credible exit path, unlike any other system.
Pubky is a Tether product. Do I need to say more.
It has CEO and it will leverage its power over protocol development.
