I’ve just deployed N2Usenet, a standalone web gateway for posting to Usenet over Nym instead of the older Tor-based posting path.
The idea is simple: the site lets you create a persistent pseudonymous identity directly in the browser. It generates an Ed25519 keypair locally, so the secret key never has to leave your device. From that
identity, the public key is used together with the chosen username and email to derive a deterministic identicon, which is then embedded in the post through the classic Face: header. The result is a
recognizable visual identity for Usenet posts, backed by a real signing key instead of just a display name.
Each message is signed in the browser, and the post carries the related identity headers, including the public key, signature, and Face: header. On the transport side, the server relays the submission through Nym to the Mail2News gateway, so this path replaces the old Tor-oriented relay model for this service. It also keeps the usual anti-spam friction with Hashcash, and the current version clears the identity and message input from browser memory after successful delivery.
If you want to try it, it’s here:
