Raw Blame History

"nostr" stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" and is an open protocol for censorship-resistant global networks created by @fiatjaf.

Protocol

Relays

Relays are (so far) application agnostic. You can run your own or use any or all of the public instances.

Implementations

  • NNostrstars - a C# relay
  • nostr-rs-relay - a minimalistic relay written in Rust that saves data on SQLite
  • Relayer Basic - a simple relay based on relayer backed by Postgres
  • nodestrstars - a Node.js implementation
  • expensive relaystars- a relay that requires payment for registration
  • me.untethr.nostr-relaystars - a relay written in Clojure
  • Minds Nostr Relay - a relay for Minds, an open-source social network
  • NostrPostr Relay - a Kotlin Relay supporting both SQLite and Postgresql
  • nostrypystars - relay, client, and other tooling in python
  • nostreamstars - a nostr relay written in Typescript backed by PostgreSQL (renamed from nostr-ts-relay)
  • nostr_relay a nostr relay written in python, backed by SQLite
  • søstrstars a private nostr relay written in rust, saves all notes from one pubkey and publish them to anyone that requests them
  • knostrstars a nostr relay implemented in Kotlin with support for Postgres and metrics(micrometer).

Instances

Instances are plenty and their availability may vary but these projects track them:

  • nostr relay registry - real-time checking of status of some known relays
  • nostr.info - real-time checking of status of some known relays
  • nostr.watch - real-time checking of status of some known relays with advanced checks.

Community

Outside of nostr itself, you find the community on:

Tutorials

Deprecated

  • anigma.io - has known xss attack vulnerabilities, which can put private key at risk, or risk signing events you may not want to send.
  • nvote - it does server side processing, and even private key is handled server side, and as such is deprecated for normal use.
  • alphaama.com - is under maintenance as of late 2022.
