You funky found me! I'm Mayor Stanson. Mayor of the best city in the entire world if you ask me and three other people; Two of which ain't on here at the moment. But trust me. We have a good'ol time here in Nostrcity. You wanna join us? Well, I'll be honest... the only people that get in Nostrcity are those that have their own keys. You need keys? Well git yo keys... Holla back when you do. If you already got yo keys, That's all you had to say... Come on in!
Now, I know, I know... you’re probably askin’, “What in tarnation are keys, Mayor?” Well, lemme break it down for ya.
Nostr(city) is not just a place—it’s a protocol. Nostrcity Club is a community. A movement. Folks got tired of all them big ol’ social media giants callin' the shots. What if you could be your own boss? No more algorithm messin' with your timeline. No more central server stoppin' ya from sendin' your message or sharing your thoughts. Nostr was created with the idea of giving power back to the people. No one controls your voice here. We’re building a club—a community—based on decentralization. It’s all about you and your connections. You control your data, your posts, your interactions. This is the Nostrcity Club, and trust me, you wanna be a part of it.
Now, how does Nostr work? Well, let me tell ya, we’re usin' public and private keys. It’s like your own personal lock and key. Your public key is like your address – it’s the thing you share with the world. You give it out to let folks find ya, send ya messages, and keep track of what you’re up to. The private key, on the other hand, is your secret key. You gotta keep that locked up tight – it’s what lets you access your stuff and control your account. Without it, you're locked outta the Nostrcity Club! And trust me, you don’t wanna be locked out.
When you generate your keys, the private key’s all yours, and it’s yours alone. Once you got it, don’t let anyone take a peek at it. That’s your golden ticket. You don’t have to worry ‘bout anyone else stoppin’ your voice or silencing your messages. This whole thing works on a peer-to-peer network – no middleman, no corporate overlords, just you and your fellow club members, communicatin' freely.
So, why are keys so important? ‘Cause without ‘em, you ain’t gonna get into the Nostrcity Club. No keys, no entry. Simple as that. If you ain't got ‘em, you can't send or receive messages, you can't interact with others, and you can’t be a part of this amazing community.
Once you’re all set with your keys, come on down to our main relay:
wss://black.nostrcity.club
It’s open 24/7, baby. Just make sure you got those keys on you. We ain't lettin' anyone in who ain't got 'em.
Now that you know what Nostr is all about and why you need those keys, get ‘em, hold on tight to ‘em, and let’s keep building this club together. Holla back when you’re ready! We’ll be here, havin’ the time of our lives, making Nostrcity the best place to be.
