Building Private Messaging on Nostr - Jeff G (JWP 110)
@npub1zuuaj...
In this episode I spoke with Jeff G, it was fascinating, and lived up to all my expectations. In a world where private messaging is still vulnerable to metadata harvesting and single‑point failures, Jeff explains how Nostr’s relay‑based architecture and true end‑to‑end encryption can finally give users control over their own conversations. He also reveals a sustainable, non‑profit model that keeps the service free from ads and corporate pressure; critical for building truly censorship‑resistant communication tools. Tune in to learn the technical breakthroughs and the roadmap that could reshape digital privacy over the next year.
