Nostr Compass Podcast #6

Bitchat ditches C Tor for Rust Tor, we explore how AI is reviving abandoned Nostr projects, with JeffG sharing how he resurrected Listr after a year of dormancy. The panel debates relay trust assertions and whether standardized scoring helps or hurts decentralization. Post-quantum cryptography gets a reality check: 105 qubits today versus the million needed to break current crypto. Plus release updates from Amber, Zeus, Primal, White Noise, and NostrDB's new streaming queries.

Nostr Compass #7 is out.

This week: someone's actually building Uber on Nostr: Ridestr uses Cashu escrow for trustless rides. Damus finally fixes those missing DMs with negentropy sync. We also traced Nostr's full journey every January from 7 relays and a Hacker News thread in 2021 to audited infrastructure today.

# Nostr Compass #6

Nostr infrastructure levels up this week. Bitchat migrates to Rust's Arti for memory-safe Tor, eliminating crashes and battery drain. nostrdb-rs adds streaming queries for zero-allocation database ops. Listr returns after a year dormant with NDK 3 beta and pagination. Zeus merges 17 NWC fixes while Primal Android ships wallet backups and NIP-92 media dimensions.

Draft NIP for Trusted Relay Assertions proposes scoring relays 0-100 across reliability, quality, and accessibility metrics. NIP-11 self-reported relay docs combine with NIP-66 independent monitoring (kind 30166 events) for informed relay selection beyond hardcoded defaults.

Open PRs signal major architectural shifts: Damus embeds Arti for native Tor, implements Negentropy for efficient sync (megabytes to kilobytes), and adds Low Data Mode. Marmot's MIP-03 solves distributed chat race conditions with deterministic commit ordering.

Nostr Compass Podcast #5

This edition covers Bitchat's professional security audit by Cure53, the same firm that audited Signal and NIP-44, with 17+ PRs already merged addressing critical findings. We explore NIP-71's addressable video events and the post-quantum cryptography proposal for future-proofing Nostr. Plus our NIP deep dive explains NIP-51 bookmark lists and NIP-65 relay metadata.

Nostr Compass Podcast #4

This week we cover Primal Android's transformation into a signing hub for other apps. We look at Marmot's 18 security fixes after their audit and Nostria 2.0's music and streaming features. Plus our NIP deep dive breaks down NIP-04 vs NIP-44 encryption

Nostr Compass Podcast #3

The third episode of the Nostr Compass Podcast is here. This special episode celebrates Nostr's fifth anniversary with a deep retrospective tracing the protocol's evolution through every December since 2020.

We start with HODL invoice escrows in Shopstr, then journey through five years of December milestones: from fiatjaf's first client release in December 2020, through the Hacker News moment in 2021, Jack Dorsey's pivotal 14 BTC donation in 2022, the NIP-44 encryption audit in 2023, to 2024 and 2025's ecosystem expansion with NDK's 162x cache speedup and NIP-55 signer proliferation.

Plus: Amethyst's desktop module takes shape, voice messaging arrives, local relays and offline functionality, data resilience patterns, NIP updates, ZapStore improvements, npub.cash, and more.

Whether you've been here since the Branle days or just discovered Nostr, this episode puts five years of protocol development into perspective.
