nostr is more chill

testing please ignore bazinga

testing my app @cmd please ignore

cloaked wireless is 😙👌

Life is good. Pass it on.

Sometimes it is hard to tell when software is designed with incredible careless-ness, or as a deliberate backdoor into your machine: The INI file with "SilentInstallRun" that bypasses all signature-checking and runs any binary is the cherry on top. Watch out for vendor software slop.

What are some popular use-cases for blinded keys? Asking for a friend.

just chilling and working on FROSTR while listening to the latest coinos drama

NIP-46 could use some love. It's on the precipice of being something great. The bunker and nostrconnect stuff can be unified into a single token for establishing authenticated sessions between peers. The JSON-RPC stuff can be fleshed out more, with proper types and interfaces for request, response and reject. I am working on a nip-46 library that will showcase my vision for this. Coming soon!

I think ecash can market itself as "layer 3" in the magic internet money tech stack: Layer 1: Bitcoin (on-chain final settlement). Layer 2: Lightning (off-chain payment channels). Layer 3: Ecash (private banking). I feel like in this framing it makes a lot of sense, is easy to explain, and scales very well. Newbies can enter at the lowest layer for the easiest on-boarding experience, and graduate up the stack as they grow their wealth (and risk). Others can choose to enter at the layer which makes the most sense for them.

this is absolutely wild! being able to transfer entangled quantum states across existing fiber-optic cables is a game-changer. There's a lot of interesting things you can do with entanglement and tweaking the phase of qbits if you have access to a quantum computer (like IBM and quikset). But I didn't think much of it because you had to physically transfer the state of your qbits over a distance, which at the time was not possible except for space lasers. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08801-w

Signer extensions are dead to me. Absolute dead-end for storing keys. They are the worst security nightmare. They don't exist on mobile. Browsers can't even agree on a spec. Time to rebuild the web3 promise with NIP-46 and PWA. It's so obvious. It just works. The age of nostr-RPC interfaces will be glorious.

We got a lot of good things cooking for frostr, y'all are gonna love it. PWA release is priority #1.

What would a dating app on nostr look like? Some ideas: * use range proofs to obfuscate certain attributes like height/weight/age while still allowing for filtering and search * photos and personal info can be encrypted/decrypted using gift-wrapping techniques to obscure the original npubs that are behind each profile. * maybe something interesting can be done with lists and hash collisions? Similar interests would cause higher colission rates while obfuscating the list from brute-force searches. Also what would be the down-sides? Privacy concerns?

yo @zap.stream your service is great but how do I run a private stream? i.e link only, unannounced on the front page
