## Nostr Market
**Demo at Nostrica https://www.youtube.com/live/2NueacYJovA?feature=share&t=6846**
**This extension follows [NIP-15](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/15.md)**
**Original protocol for [Diagon Alley](https://github.com/lnbits/Diagon-Alley) (resilient marketplaces)**
> The concepts around resilience in Diagon Alley helped influence the creation of the NOSTR protocol, now we get to build Diagon Alley on NOSTR!
