Thanks. I didn’t see this particular one, but I know of Mostro and RoboSats. I also know of a few efforts to try to standardize order formats on top of Nostr. I guess n3xB is one of them.

Main difference I see is n3xB wants to establish a neutral protocol that uses nostr as the primary database. Where-as most other efforts are existing P2P trading solutions trying to have some level of inter-compatibility with each other, and using Nostr as a cache or backup to their central trade coordinators.

I see it as trying to make Mastodon work with Blue Sky, instead of creating Nostr. Still hoping for a Nostr like, common neutral protocol first approach to P2P solutions, along with a intercompatible layered approach. I took the first stab at it by creating a defined spec and a base library implementation. Will see if the developer community think this is a worthwhile approach vs the likes of Mostro/RoboSats etc that already exists
