Bitcoin/nostr/ecash together form what I’d like to call a ‘sovereign commerce layer’ I just proved that I can build a daemon process, identified by an npub, listening for incoming ecash from another daemon that knows this npub and can immediately swap the ecash into its own balance.

nostr #nostr has succeeded in collapsing cyberspace into a single 32-byte coordinate system of pubkeys and event ids. Along with ecash zaps, you can send funds between any 32-byte coordinate in cyberspace. We’re gonna win…… Tim Bouma Oct 23, 2024, 5:50 PM
nostr Yesterday, I managed to get #nostr #safebox running as a daemon, listening to NIP-17 messages, parsing out and accepting #Cashu tokens sent by another #safebox instance. This proves I can send funds directly between wallet processes! All still very experimental, but proving that it works!… Tim Bouma Oct 23, 2024, 12:34 PM

nostr I am in the process of creating a #nostr #safebox daemon that can run as a separate process to generate NUT-18 payment requests and accept payments via NIP-17. Excited about this because the daemon will almost be like a lightning node but instead uses mints and relays as… Tim Bouma Oct 21, 2024, 4:08 PM
nostr Imagine how different things would be if we had #nostr at the end of the First Millennium. Most everything was faked back then. Shocking but true.… Tim Bouma Oct 21, 2024, 4:01 PM
nostr During medieval times, forgery was the main line of business for most monks producing charters and diplomas because it wasn’t about truth but rather what was accorded in God’s plans, not what was attested by prior documents. The point is this - for the first time in history with… Tim Bouma Oct 21, 2024, 3:52 PM
