How prepared and robust is the Nostr protocol against state-level attacks? I see a lot of people claiming that governments can’t do anything to stop it, which makes me skeptical. Right now we’re flying under the radar because the network is still small, but at some point it’ll start drawing serious attention — and then the attacks will come.

Maybe they will remove filters to stop attack vector

Nostr is susceptible to KYC for internet access. So is bitcoin. When the government forces mandatory KYC per each online session, then what?

Nostr protocol itself can not be stopped. They can ddos relays and shut down servers relays are hosted on but Nostr itself can not be stopped. Nostr can be used with tor. Govs are fighting tor censorship relentlessly but they will not ever shut it down completely just like Nostr and Bitcoin.

It almost fully depends on the internet. Which could be shut down at any point either by your gov. Technically you could use it over metastatic or something similar but you'll only get a few notes from your city.

It's been defeated by state-level attacks for a long time.
