So no one can make new protocols after Nostr? Nostr is the last one?
Your logic seems flawed.
Some trivia you should know is that my research started before nostr and I am the one that pushed fiatjaf into this realm in the first place.
As i see it, nostr "used up" my idea to bootstrap key-based identity via Bitcoiners, but none of us realized how much of a curse that would be.
A curse for Nostr because bitcoiners are tribal protocol loyalist that no one else really wants to talk to. A curse for Pubky in that all the people i know are stuck being in the nostr tribe with no safe way to break rank.
