First Draft of did:nostr method

Hi All,

We are pleased to announce the publication of the First Public Working
Draft for the did:nostr method specification:

https://nostrcg.github.io/did-nostr/

This specification defines a Decentralized Identifier (DID) method
(did:nostr) that utilizes the cryptographic key pairs inherent to the Nostr
protocol. It describes how a did:nostr identifier can be created, resolved
to a DID Document.

This initial draft represents the collaborative effort of several
contributors. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to:

- Maximillian George for valuable feedback and support throughout the
initial stages.

- Manu Sporny for providing an essential sanity check on the approach and
structure.

- The team at Block for engaging in insightful discussions that helped
shape the work.

We believe the specification is now at a stage where it is ready for
broader review and contributions. We warmly welcome feedback, suggestions,
issue reporting, and contributions from the CG and W3C DID community and
anyone interested in integrating Nostr identities with did-identity
standards.

We look forward to engaging with the community to refine and advance this
specification.

Best regards,
Melvin Carvalho
