what is nostr?

I would like to ask a few things because in general I didn't quite understand how the protocol works:

  • does the nostr protocol allow addressing or indexing of relays?
  • who reviews or maintains the protocol in operation?
  • Is it possible to have a publication about nostr in the IETF?
  • Is there any version in RFC about nostr?
  • what are the "killer-apps" or best known apps with the nostr protocol?
  • Are the relays private, public, anonymous, temporary? what kind of transmission/relays are we talking about?

  1. Yes, relays have addresses.
  2. The protocol is not in operation, only clients are in operation. The protocol is a set of suggestions of what clients should do, it's on the nips repository.
  3. No.
  4. No.
  5. Check https://nostr.net/
  6. They are servers. They can be private, public, anonymous, temporary, anything you want.
