Nice pic from this morning
Proposed new #superpower for the nostr protocol - using the “o” tag to store the sha256 digest of any original document/byte array (pdf, jpg, bin, etc).
That means the digest is automatically indexed searchable as the “#o” tag in a filter.
I’ve tested it. It works. I am planning to use this for transferable title documents, such as electronic bills of lading (printed as a PDFs).
This approach also releases me from those janky proprietary certificate authority schemes, like Adobe Acrobat that try to trick you into a subscription service when all you want to do is issue and validate the authenticity of a f***ing pdf, without using some paid certificate authority racket.
#Nostr is the protocol that keeps on giving.
Over the weekend, I experimented with publishing events with an “o” tag having the sha256 digest of an original document (pdf, jpg, etc). Then using a separate script to calculate the digest of a selected document to see if there is a corresponding event. It worked, because according to NIP-01, single letter tags are indexed, so I could filter for the event.
This is a big deal because now I have the basis to build an electronic transferable record (ETR) system that does not require any “blockchain”. This can be used to manage title documents such as a bills of lading. Even, better, since payments is already tightly integrated (nip57, lud16) adding payments for title transfer will be a breeze!
Onward!
That time of year where the river is like a fast moving lake. Another couple of weeks before the crest passes, where the water level reaches and surpasses the stone wall by the path.
I’ve been busy working on #nostr #safebox as part of the @nosfabrica Web of Trust #hackathon, which is concluding soon.
You can see what I’ve developed for health record sharing and payment - all done with Nostr, Blossom and Cashu.
Always by my side...

Good Afternoon.
Agents might beat us on intelligence, but they won’t beat us on hope.
Thought of the day:
Global ordering and key rotation are ultimately external to any decentralized protocol. Can be mitigated by proof of work or social recovery.
