If anyone that has at least a basic understanding of encryption and can use nostr.
I'm currently testing something, and it would be awesome to have 2 or 3 people with different tools (on desktop only) to join in.
If you want to test something really nice... DM me for an invite.
Switched up some relays, nostr works a bit better now, also avoiding some 'services' in the future, as they didn't improve their inner workings ove rige last year at all.
Today, some tests showed a small change in the layout and working order was needed in order to get things moving in and out of the locks.
The main code wasn't changed. I've also removed create options for other address notations, we'll go bech32 only. (but backwards compatible for people having older time locks).
I expect the full tool to be finished by end of january.
In a distant valley, a solitary wanderer named Elias stumbled upon a swift river whose bed glittered with what appeared to be countless gold nuggets. The water was shallow enough to wade, and the bright lumps caught the sun like scattered coins from heaven.
Overjoyed, Elias borrowed heavily from the village moneylenders—promising repayment with interest once his fortune was secure. He rolled up his trousers, stepped knee-deep into the cold current, and began gathering the shining stones one by one, piling them carefully on the bank.
Word of his discovery spread quickly. The moneylenders whispered excitedly among themselves, merchants calculated potential profits, and young men dreamed of riches without toil. Everyone waited for the rush: the claims staked, the pans dipping, the crowds elbowing for position along the banks.
Yet days turned to weeks, and then to months. No one came.
The river remained quiet except for Elias splashing alone, humming as he worked. The moneylenders grew restless; they sent messengers to inspect the site. The messengers returned shaking their heads. “He shows us handfuls of bright pebbles,” they reported, “but they are heavy only with water and hope.”
Still Elias labored on, borrowing more to buy better tools, a small hut by the shore, even a wheelbarrow to move his growing heap. He spoke grandly of the wealth he would soon share, of how the river would make them all rich. The lenders, seeing no partners arrive, no rival miners, no sudden prosperity in the valley, began to wonder.
One evening a wise old woman from the village sat on the bank and watched him. After a long silence she asked, “Elias, if this river truly runs with gold, why does no greedy soul join you? Men will cross mountains for a whisper of treasure—yet here the water is open, the nuggets lie plain to see, and still the valley sleeps.”
Elias laughed and held up a dripping stone that flashed in the twilight. “They are fools,” he said, “too timid to seize what is mine.”
The old woman nodded slowly. “Or perhaps,” she replied, “they have looked closely and seen only pyrite—fool’s gold—pretty, worthless, and cold. Real gold draws a crowd like flies to honey. When the river is empty of people but full of one man’s excuses… maybe the shine is not in the water, but in the story he tells the bankers to keep the loans flowing.”
Elias turned back to his work, the splash of his hands the only sound in the gathering dusk.
The river flowed on, indifferent, its bed still sparkling with whatever it had always held—treasure to one man, mere stones to everyone else, and here and there some diamonds.
And so the valley learned: true wealth needs no solitary boast. When the incentive is real, the crowd soon follows. When it does not, look again at what glitters.
TimeSeed v3 released / encryption , offline/online, post quantum.
(ML-KEM keys, Argon2id, and AES) all offline in-browser with hybrid ML-KEM-768 (the official NIST post-quantum standard) layered on top of the battle-tested Argon2id + AES-256-GCM stack.
Everything runs client-side in your browser, online or offline, zero servers.
v3 adds future-proof protection against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks while silently falling back to pure Argon2id for all existing v2/v1 ciphertexts — full backward compatibility.
LockIt (the lightweight phone companion) is also updated for v3 keys.
