Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Yea, probably a bit much for amethyst. You ever run across any oldschool BBS systems on packet radio? To the best of my knowledge the old ANSI systems can run well enough on the latency. Wonder if there'd be a way to use Nostr as the store and forward layer for something akin to FIDONet. FIDO, but with signatures, and without wires! Gotta thank you for the interview with Odell -- I'd been into the idea of Ham as a kid but never really had it dawned on me how cheap it was. And nice that they got rid of the Morse code requirements. Might be time to finally get licensed and so some playing.

Thanks, glad you found some use! Yes, I have played with packet BBS. There is a YouTuber that runs or ran(not sure if still up in AZ not too far away. Works well. I'm not sure how a store and forward would work, as relays are essentially store and wait for request. Interesting.

Yea, I keep meaning to really do a deep dive on how Nostr works. But I have been trying to get into blacksmithing. And have a kid and 3 dogs. And play pickleball. And now some guy on Dispatch reminded me I want to get a Ham license. It's on the five year plan.
