Nostr Dev Team

What if you didn't need to check every character when copy pasting data? Be it a crypto address, an IBAN string, an email address, or a phone number. What if you could easily distinguish a real identity from an imposter, a scammer? Be it a friend, or a well known individual or company. The solution to these UX and security problems, for your company and your users, is a simple one: Hashatar.

What did she say? Well, we - literally all humans, even the ones who don’t realise it yet - need Layer 2 to succeed. Lightning can’t handle hyperbitcoinisation. But maybe Ark can, it is arguably better positioned for it. So for people who are designing freedom tech and for those of us who are helping them build it this becomes important. Even though its impact is still unfolding, Ark might emerge as an important enabler for the development and hopefully inevitable adoption of open-source projects that challenge the centralised ecosystem. Think of our product nostr:npub1d0csynrrxcynkcedktdzrdj6gnras2psg48mf46kxjazs8skrjgq9uzhlq - a challenger to Docusign and others that hold your sensitive data, scan it, and share it with others. By lowering the barriers to self-custodial, private, and scalable Bitcoin payments, Ark makes it easier for open-source Nostr-based applications to integrate seamless financial functionality without complex channel management or inbound liquidity requirements. So yes, the future of Layer 2 matters, we all need Layer 2 to succeed.

Your friendly nostr development team is keeping on top of best practice when coding with AI tools. Thank you to nostr:npub1p4kg8zxukpym3h20erfa3samj00rm2gt4q5wfuyu3tg0x3jg3gesvncxf8 for spending some time with us, and for all the tips. 🚀

We're super happy to have engaged a client recently who is committed to contributing to the space, as well as building their own product. Noticing that many NIP-05 domains have malformed JSON, we were commissioned to build a couple of tools that will both validate a NIP05 domain and perform a lookup on a NIP-05 address. You can install with `npm i -g @nostrbox/cli` And run the commands: - nip05lookup _@nostrdev.com - nip05check nostrdev.com (we'll leave the errors in for now, so you can see the results) The same facility can be found on https://nostr.box Happy NIP-05 validating!
