imported my nostr taproot address as a descriptor wallet in Bitcoin core. apparently someone sent an onchain tx to my npub in 2023

Hah... That's pretty awesome.
that sounds about right. i remember when some people were testing this back in the day.
Dont forget to shake today
The truth is, we've always had on chain zaps since 2009. Just not a ux friendly way to send them.
This has actually been possible for a long time lol a few of you might remember when me and my nostr boo accidentally did this when I turned off my LN wallet and we we’re both like oh fuck

I’ll have to add this descriptor to my suite of wallet backup tools. Was your miniscript just tr(m/npub)?
tr(wif-nsec). had to write a python script to convert the hex nsec to wif
this isn't miniscript. its output descriptors. slightly different
I think I have wif support already…and bitcoin core descriptor support…I’ll have to play around with it this weekend. Maybe i can fold nostr npub based wallet support into the backup suite.
that shows that we already have this idea, but nobody wanted to be the first retard to make it hsppen.
That year sounds familiar... oh

Yes, I
Thx! Claude can ingest this so my suite of tools can support this key/wallet type

Perhaps the first on-chain zap was discovered to have been received 3 years ago...
And then came this thread the next month in 2023...
Can't put the genie back in the bottle, or undo the laws of cryptography; in Python, anyone can derive a bitcoin address from virtually any data.
The only way to "win", is to not play against all human/machine-kind - don't even generate a npub/use Nostr, in the first place.

Yeah, it's funny that people think there aren't other money tied to their nsecs for all of these years. There might be money in any blockchain waiting for people to use the right client to see it.
