⚠️Nostr practical security — attack vulnerabilities ⚠️
Researchers’ quote: " Our results on Nostr show that their use of cryptographic technologies is simple and immature, showing a sharp difference from the modern messaging applications that the research community has scrutinised.We think there is a significant lack of understanding on the secure design and analysis of distributed SNSs: what security property should be set, and what about the security of popular growing services other than Nostr, such as Mastodon and BlueSky? "
A new research paper (Aug 2025) analysed Nostr and found basic cryptographic and design weaknesses that allow attackers to abuse the protocol in ways that real users and services should be concerned about.
👉In plain terms: attackers can trick clients and servers, steal funds or impersonate users in practical scenarios unless fixes are applied.
👉Key impacts everyone must know 1) Financial risk — attackers can hijack or manipulate keys or requests, causing loss of funds (wallet integrations, invoice relays, LN payflows).2) Account and reputation risk — impersonation and message forgery can damage user identity, enable scams, or undermine trust models.3) Ecosystem availability and privacy risk — attacks can de-anonymise users or flood/poison relays, degrading service and exposing metadata.
👉Call to action for developers and users
- Developers: audit signing and verification flows, wallet integrations, relay filtering and threat models; prioritise fixes for key handling and message-authentication weaknesses.
- Users: assume higher risk for money-related actions; avoid new integrations until maintainers publish mitigations; verify payments and identity out-of-band.
Looping in relevant parties below. Regardless of whether the source is trustworthy, the attacks described are worth investigating.

I have lost all trust in almost everything in the Bitcoin/Nostr space in terms of security.
From hardware wallets including the most popular Bitcoin-only ones, to wallet services, to Nostr apps, to LN wallet software…
AI slop will only make this worse. This entire ecosystem is built like a house of cards.

⚡️💬 NEW - Elon Musk announces "X Chat," an encrypted messaging app using peer-to-peer encryption similar to Bitcoin.
He promises no advertising or data sharing for his messaging service.
"At X, we simply rebuilt the entire messaging system to create what we call 'X Chat.' (...) It uses a peer-to-peer encryption system, much like Bitcoin. It's a very good encryption system; we're testing it thoroughly," said Elon Musk on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast.

⚡️👀 NEW - Soon you'll have to scan your eyeballs to play your favorite games!
World ID identity verification technology is being integrated into games such as FIFA, NFL, and Pudgy Penguins, with the aim of distinguishing human players from bots.
Mythical Games has stated that it will leverage "Proof of Human" digital identity technology to separate bots from humans, among other things.
"While bots have their place in video games, they can also be used to manipulate the game economy, gain an unfair advantage, and take rewards that should go to human players."
