Nostr Compass is a technical resource for the Nostr protocol, helping developers, relay operators, and builders stay current on protocol evolution. We publish weekly newsletters covering NIP proposals, client updates, relay developments, and notable code changes. Our podcast features conversations with the developers building Nostr. The topic index documents key concepts with links to primary sources. Podcast: https://podcast.nostrcompass.org

Nostr Compass Podcast #7 Ridestr builds decentralized ridesharing with Cashu. Pomade adds email-based multisig recovery. Damus ships negentropy. Five years of Nostr. The participants discuss decentralized ridesharing with Ridestr, multisig key recovery via Pomade, and Damus’s new DM sync via negentropy. We review client updates across Amethyst, Amber, Marmot, and Shopstr — plus major NIP proposals for encrypted sync, file storage, and community management. Finally, we reflect on five years of Nostr's evolution. #podcast

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. #podcast #nostr @JeffG @Tim Bouma @Geektoshi @J.G.Montoya.Hodl @hzrd149 @Max
