You are welcome, the community group is now formed:

https://www.w3.org/community/nostr/

I am happy to answer any questions that you have on nostr.

A few words.  The reason I think nostr is good for autonomous agents, is
that there is a low barrier to participation.  An agent needs only a
keypair, and ability to sign a json blob using a schnorr signature, and
it'e ready to go.  The network passes json blobs from one machine to
another via relays, and there are over 1000 relays now running across the
globe.

In addition to this, the json can be used over the web, and used to
authenticate [1]

So it's cheap to get agents onto an existing, quite large, network, and
communicating with each other.  I have also made a linked data vocab and
context for nostr:

https://w3id.org/nostr#Relay  (view source)

Which can be extended to many agent vocabs.

We still have a lots to do and thing about, such as orchestration,
maintenance, strong versioning of agents and so on.  But I hope this can be
one extra tool and network that will provide utility.
