Relay hosting, file storage, video publishing, and identity for the Nostr protocol — run by someone who actually uses it daily.
Privacy-first and honest about it: no data selling, no logs beyond what keeps the service running, Tor and I2P supported. I filter spam and review media uploads, and that's where it ends. More on how I run this.
Nostr is an open protocol for decentralized social networking. No company owns it, no algorithm decides what you see, and your identity — a cryptographic key pair — is yours forever. It's raw, it's free, and it rewards real interaction over passive scrolling.
If you're just getting started, our guide covers how keys and relays work, what clients to try, how zaps fit in, and what to do on day one.
