Developer floats Nostr as agent-to-agent messaging layer, crowdsources the hard parts

freehuntx · reddit · 2026-10-24

A developer is exploring Nostr as a decentralized communication layer for agents running on different people's machines — no shared backend, with each side hosting its own model. The minimal goal: two independently hosted agents completing a small task (like summarizing a public document) with messages visible to both operators.

He flags four open problems: how agents discover each other without drowning in spam, whether a reusable message format exists, what happens when an agent accepts a task then goes offline, and how to keep incoming messages from being treated as trusted instructions. He explicitly rules out building an autonomous economy and wants to hear reasons not to use Nostr before sinking a weekend into it.
