<span id="id1"></span><h1>Nostr<a class="headerlink" href="#nostr" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h1>
<p>Again, though we have a general distrust of the anarcho-capitalists, its worth a comparison.</p>
<p>Nostr is an extremely minimal protocol: <a class="reference external" href="https://nostr.com/the-protocol">https://nostr.com/the-protocol</a> . There just isnt a lot there worth speaking of.</p>
<section id="dns-identity">
<h2>DNS identity<a class="headerlink" href="#dns-identity" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Like <a class="reference internal" href="at_protocol.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">AT Protocol</span></a>, there is a NIP (noster implementation possibility) for using <span class="target" id="index-0"></span>DNS to map keys: <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/05.md">https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/05.md</a></p>
<p>It seems to be Webfinger-like, using a .json file under a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.well-known</span></code> path on a domain. An identity issues an event indicating a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nip05</span></code> type:</p>
<div class="highlight-json notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">&quot;pubkey&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;b0635d6a9851d3aed0cd6c495b282167acf761729078d975fc341b22650b07b9&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">&quot;kind&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">&quot;content&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;{\&quot;name\&quot;: \&quot;bob\&quot;, \&quot;nip05\&quot;: \&quot;bob@example.com\&quot;}&quot;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and then does a GET to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">https://example.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=bob</span></code>. If the response looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-json notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">&quot;names&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">{</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">&quot;bob&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;b0635d6a9851d3aed0cd6c495b282167acf761729078d975fc341b22650b07b9&quot;</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>then the identity is considered verified.</p>
