Monero on Nostr: Some progress

Reply in thread

Hi, thanks for the reply. So with Mastodon, your identity is tied to a server which the admin can censor. If you own the server, then other servers can censor via defederation. This becomes an issue in the case that Monero is banned by governments and physical locations with IP addresses have to comply.

Instead, Nostr separates identity from physical locations through encryption. This allows you to own your identity like you'd self-custody Monero. This video goes over the basics: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/nostrtutorial/

Nostr needs a Monero Takeover

Monero would be hurt by being on Nostr, as ring signatures rely on it being unknown who sent to who. Once it’s in the public who sent many transactions, it would rule out certain ones from being part of ring signatures.

Hey man I will check out Mitra and make an account on there. Thanks so much, I'd be happy to be part of your community.

This being said, Monero has unique issues in that the possibility of sanctions such as Tornado cash would force us to abandon IP address and DNS based systems such as federated ones. I like the approach that Mitra takes with a sign in, and will look further
