As Nosmero is pretty stable at this point, I turned my attention to a pure p2p XMR solution for social media. **I made Swarmnero** — a p2p social network with Monero built in at the protocol level. It runs on Holepunch's Pear Runtime. Zero infrastructure. You install Pear once, then launch Swarmnero with one command, auto-updates arrive over p2p. It shares philosophy with Nostr (your keys = your identity, no central gatekeeper) but trades relays for a pure p2p stack. Posts, follows, DMs, and media replicate directly between devices over Hyperswarm DHT. No intermediaries to censor, index, or go dark. **What's inside:** - Ed25519 identity, signed events — your keys never leave your machine - Native Monero wallet (monero-ts WASM) for tipping posts and replies - Paywalled posts: author encrypts the body, buyer pays XMR to a per-post subaddress, key auto-released after on-chain verification - X25519 E2E DMs between mutual follows (crypto_secretbox) - Hashtag search + friends-of-friends discovery, no algorithm **Install:** npm i -g pear pear run pear://t6athit7zo98y7wb7kupmeaihxu3p5tft5s55nx5a5s634meppgy Eventually I'll get around to making standalone download files for Mac, Linux, and Windows.
