#57 Will Casarin - Building Nostr

<p>William Casarin, creator of the Damus client and "zap" functionality on Nostr, joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on the Nostr protocol, how it re-empowers the individual on social media, and how it solves a lot of the obstacles the internet itself has run into. </p> <p>Couldn't have asked for a better sequel to my first Nostr-dedicated episode with Derek Ross. I hope you learn something new, and I'll see you in the Nostrverse! </p> <p>FOLLOW WILL: npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s </p> <p>FOLLOW DAMUS: npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955</p> <p><a href="https://patreon.com/benwehrman">Support the show</a></p> <p><strong>BEN’S LINKS 🔗</strong><br /> → <a href="https://twitter.com/benwehrman">Twitter/X</a><br /> → <a href="https://primal.net/ben">Nostr</a><br /> → <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@benwehrman/">YouTube</a><br /> → <a href="https://instagram.com/where_man">Instagram</a><br /> → <a href="https://www.benwehrman.com/">Website</a></p> <p><strong>SUPPORT THE BEN WEHRMAN PODCAST ❤️</strong></p> <p>→ Share the show with friends, family, and social media<br /> → <a href="https://primal.net/ben">Zap me on Nostr</a>.
