The Monero coup of Nostr continues? Yes, Simplified Privacy made a new tutorial on the Gossip client for desktop, and it had a brief reference to encourage the use of Pluja’s Monero Nostr relay. While this was a small part of the overall video, the lead developer of the client reposted it to his Nostr feed! We want to break down barriers and allow discussion for all!
Brief Background:
Nostr is a decentralized Twitter perfect for Monero discussion and distribution after a potential ban. The sore point is that has bitcoin lightning zaps built in to many clients… However, the bitcoin part is completely separate from the core message protocol and Monero could be used instead IF THERE WAS THE WILL to do so….
In order to encourage more Monero users to adopt Nostr, Simplified Privacy continues to pump out tutorial videos. Many different clients can be used, just like there’s many different XMR wallets.
Our new animated tutorial covers Gossip, a secure client for Linux/Windows/Mac:

(Gossip is great for Tor speed and security.)
This briefly discussed Pluja’s XMR relay, creator of KYC not Me:
xmr.usenostr.org
And if you know nothing about Nostr, check our previous tutorial on Amethyst, Iris, & Primal:

Here’s our Nostr Public Key:

We got this! DM and we’ll follow back (if you actually post about XMR)
I am a man of optimism! I may fail, but if I do nothing, that’s also a failure. So might as well give it a shot.
So I installed Gossip, created an identity but did not publish it, and added some relays and followed your public key. Now Settings says my "public key not set" while Account>Keys says "ready to sign events" and your follow says "relay list not found" and Inbox is empty. What else do I need to do?
