Nostr public key for BBCD Satoshi

You can now find me on Nostr. I've joined the herd!

Time will tell if it is a flash in the pan or a winner. I think it will be a winner if it is somehow integrated with Twitter in some form or another, or Elon Musk uses the protocol for his vision of an everything app.

The public key for BBCD Satoshi is:
  • Nostr, stands for “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays,” doesn't rely on a central server, nor is it a peer-to-peer architecture. 
  • In its most fundamental form, it allows people to exchange signed messages. 
  • It does so through a network of relays, which are servers anyone can sign up to run.
  • Nostr is a simple, open protocol that enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media.
  • Understanding keys... Each Nostr account is based on a public/private key pair. 
    • A simple way to think about this is that your public key is your username and your private key is your password, with one major caveat. 
    • Unlike a password, your private key cannot be reset if lost. 
    • The public key is generally presented as a string with the prefix npub1 and the private key with the prefix nsec1. 
    • Make sure you store you private key somewhere safe, like a password manager.
