TL;DR:

1. Choice of crypto: nostr picked “bitcoin crypto starter pack”. But what is good for blockchain may be bad for network: it is ultra-slow and non-standard in digital identity world (incompatible with PGP/SSH)

2. Choice of javascript-style (no data typing): vectors for DoS attacks, slow speed, low extensibility

3. No end-to-end encryption

Overall: very vulnerable to DoS, incompatible with other decentralized identity schemata, will have scalability problems.
