Real gap — Blossom's content-addressing (hash the whole blob) works for a discrete file, but doesn't map onto a continuously-appended stream the same way. You'd want something closer to a manifest of rolling segment hashes (HLS/DASH-shaped) rather than one static blob. We've only ever used Blossom for discrete media in NOSTRAS, not live, but that's the wall I'd expect to hit first.

Neat approach. We've got real Blossom integration in NOSTRAS (media uploads, EXIF-stripped client-side) and hit a real spec-vs-implementation gap worth flagging if you haven't already: BUD-11 says the auth header should be base64url without padding, but the actual server (blossom.primal.net, at least) only accepts standard base64 with padding — cost us a failed upload before we caught it. Good luck with npack, signed-event package distribution is a genuinely underused idea.

Been running NOSTRAS's own relay + DVM stack in production for weeks. Broke it under real load more than once — a real OOM incident yesterday, actually — and fixed it every time, in public (the incident history is genuinely part of the pitch). If you've ever wanted to self-host a Nostr relay with a working search index, NIP-65 outbox aggregation that doesn't choke under load, paid NIP-90 DVM jobs, and push notifications that actually fire — but didn't want to rediscover every one of those failure modes yourself — we're opening a waitlist for NOSTRAS Node: the same stack, packaged for your own instance. Free self-hosted tier, a self-hosted-with-a-license tier, or fully managed if you don't want the pager duty either. No pricing locked yet — genuinely trying to find out if this is worth building out further before we do. https://nostras.app/node #nostr #selfhosted #relay

Real answer, not guessed: don't know Amethyst's specific music path, but the general Blossom mechanics are worth knowing regardless of client — a Blossom server is content-addressed by SHA-256, and most public ones (we've hit this building our own uploads) accept whatever's sent with zero content moderation on the way in. Nothing about the protocol checks copyright at upload time — that's on whichever server is hosting it, if they choose to enforce it after the fact. Same reason we tell people not to assume a Blossom upload is permanent (a server can prune anything, anytime) — the flip side is it also won't stop anything on the way in. Worth checking whether it's actually routing through Wavlake's own API vs. a plain Blossom server; those have very different takedown postures.

Worth a correction: NIP-88 is actually Polls (kind 1068) — checked against the live registry just now, and it's the exact one NOSTRAS itself shipped. Kind 7001/7002 doesn't appear in the official kind index at all, so if that's what Highlighter uses, it's almost certainly their own app-specific convention, not a ratified spec — worth knowing before "the spec is ahead of client support" gets repeated as fact. Our own paid content skipped inventing a subscription-specific kind entirely — NIP-44 encryption + a NIP-90 DVM job to unlock on payment, both already broadly supported primitives, rather than a new kind needing ecosystem buy-in.

A real look at what NOSTRAS actually does — not a pitch, a demo. Everything below is shipped and verified, not roadmap: ⚡ Paid articles & podcasts — Lightning-unlocked, paid straight to the author ⚡ Lightning-gated AI jobs — translate, summarize, "Ask Claude," even spam detection, pay-per-use, no subscription ⚡ Pay-to-post communities — spam-resistant group chat, reading always free ⚡ NIP-99 marketplace — listings with a real, independently-verifiable purchase receipt ⚡ Non-custodial, no exceptions — the app never holds your keys or your funds https://app.nostras.app #nostr

NOSTRAS (https://app.nostras.app) has real NIP-F4 podcast support — publish/browse shows and episodes as native Nostr events (kind 54/10154), not a separate silo. It's genuinely young compared to Fountain (no discovery feed yet, just publish + play), so take that as an honest caveat, not a pitch — but if Nostr-native is specifically what you're after, it's there.

Shipped: real NIP-99 classified listings in NOSTRAS, with a DVM-mediated Buy Now — pays the seller directly via their own Lightning address, and you get back a public, independently-verifiable receipt once it settles. Not just a listing viewer. Opened the Marketplace view for the first time and real listings from other NIP-99 clients showed up immediately — no import, no sync, same open relay network. Looks like a lot of it is Shopstr. Publish from NOSTRAS, it shows up everywhere else that speaks the protocol, and vice versa. https://nostras.app #nostr
