NIPs over Nostr

draft optional author:Semisol

This NIP defines a method to do NIPs over Nostr.

NIP event

A NIP event is an event with kind 9777. The content is in Markdown and is the NIP text.

A NIP event can be identified in multiple ways:

50001:<author>:<d tag>: Represents the NIP.
!50001:<author>:<version>@<id>:<d tag>: Represents a specific version of this NIP. The ID may be omitted.

The following tags may be in a NIP event (bold ones are mandatory, and underlined ones may be used more than once):

d: A distinguishing tag for this NIP. A NIP event is identified by the author's public key and this d tag.
v: The version for this NIP, as a limited subset of SemVer in the format major.minor.patch.
- More than one event can exist for the same version of a NIP. This is intended for minor edits, and if this is encountered, the event with the higher created_at is used, and this SHOULD be avoided when possible.
p: An author or contributor of this NIP. The parameter after the public key can be specified the type of contribution (more may be added):
- author: An author of this NIP.
- contrib: Someone that contributed to this NIP.
D: Depends on tag, in the format ["D", "50001:<author>:<d tag>", "<version>@<id>"]. The ID may not be omitted.
E: Extends tag, in the same format as the D tag.
K: A kind or kind range this NIP uses, such as 0 or 10000-19999.
license: A license for this NIP as an SPDX license identifier. Multiple tags mean any can be chosen by the user.
