Introducing Nostrich
I don't know if such a thing is needed, but this is how I imaged Nostr authentication UX would work. It hasn't been really done this way, so I've done it myself.
Nostrich is a nostr authentication service, i.e. passwordless authentication.
Components:
1. Authentication server: generates challenges, listens to relays, sends success messages.
2. The nostrich-challenger package: to integrate in your app.
3. nostrich-signer: the browser-based signer that stores keys locally.

Today is going to be like this, and I like the idea of just chilling at home.
Tailscale’s coordination server officially blocks Russian IP connections, but it actually works 80% of the time. I’m glad that it does because that’s how I’m online right now.
That said, I’ll need to set up my own coordination server to be fully independent. There’s an open-source project called Headscale that serves this purpose.
You don’t need to celebrate governments and suits adopting bitcoin but you don’t need to be depressed about it either.
Unstoppable means nobody can stop others from adopting it.
Well, weird that I can’t access Nostr on a Russian mobile network. Only through VPN.
Ot is it just @primal being funny?

Just realized that Russia is so behind on bitcoin when it comes to consumers.
Not a single bitcoin exchange.
Not a single bitcoin ETF.
Not a single mention of any pubco wanting a bitcoin treasury.
Literally no infrastructure besides some shady p2p marketplaces.

I don’t know what it is, but I find Thai red curry one of the tastiest mixes.
ChatGPT has scheduled tasks now that can run when you want and notify when done. Pretty awesome, I must say.
Like many, I’m tempted to become an armchair geopolitical analyst. Although it’s hard, I refrain by reminding myself that I don’t know anything, and that our blue screens barely reflect reality.
