I recently finished enough Nostr data conversion and relay protocol support to launch it in granary: * https://granary.io/?site=nostr#logins * https://granary.io/?input=html&output=nostr#logins

Current obstacle: [from NIP-01](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md): > Each user has a keypair. Signatures, public key, and encodings are done according to the [Schnorr signatures standard for the curve secp256k1](https://bips.xyz/340). I'm having trouble...

Production-ready candidates: * [rustyrussell/secp256k1-py](https://github.com/rustyrussell/secp256k1-py), FFI bindings around [bitcoin-core/secp256k1](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1) * [Moustikitos/fast-curve](https://github.com/Moustikitos/fast-curve), native lib, seems largely unused * [karask/python-bitcoin-utils](https://github.com/karask/python-bitcoin-utils), just copied the reference implementation with minor modifications * [kauriid/schnorrpy](https://gitlab.com/kauriid/schnorrpy), bindings for the...

To try: https://www.nos.social/

I should do a survey of relay info metadata, [specifically the `limitation` field](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/11.md#server-limitations), for a handful of the bigger relays. nostr.law (?), nostr.mom, relayable.org, etc. I'm curious what their limits...

Started a todo list in the description

Active user counts are still low, but trending up again. Last 6 mos: https://stats.nostr.band/#daily_active_users https://stats.nostr.band/#weekly_active_users

Tried to create an account, eventually gave up. The [official client is invite only](https://warpcast.com/~/download), [this other client requires a crypto wallet](https://connect.phrasetown.com/), and [this other other client evidently can't create accounts](https://omilos.xyz/).

Data point to help determine priority: https://farcaster.network/ says right now there are 11k users, 3.2k MAUs.

Evidently https://petar.substack.com/ / https://staging.bsky.app/profile/petar.bsky.social is offering invitations to WarpCast.
