nostr The most frightening thing I heard this week is that social media is accelerating the split of the human race into two subspecies. All the more reason on doubling down on creating a neutral socioeconomic protocol like #nostr… Tim Bouma Nov 23, 2024, 11:46 AM
nostr #Nostr reads and feeds in one app with their own tab is sheer genius. Congrats to the @primal folks for doing this. It brings #nostr to another level /cc @miljan… Tim Bouma Nov 23, 2024, 11:39 AM
nostr Eventually every handle from every ecosystem/platform will resolve to a sovereign npub that can send and receive zaps for universal payment. Below, is an example of zapping a domain name address using the system I built that supports NIP-05. But it could easily be Twitter, BlueSky, etc. The… Tim Bouma Nov 22, 2024, 12:29 PM
monstr @El_monty grateful for the #monstr library! It’s what I am using to build #nostr #safebox.… Tim Bouma Nov 22, 2024, 12:19 PM
nostr This is a #nostr #safebox zap to a nip05 address. Doesn't look like much but there is a lot going behind the scenes. The npub is resolved using nip05, the kind 0 event is looked up and the lud16 is taken from the profile. A lightning invoice is Tim Bouma Nov 22, 2024, 2:18 AM
nostr Other social media networks are slick and cool, but I am also doubling down on #nostr because of its deep integration of payments and unstoppable protocol. #Nostr will become the open socioeconomic layer of the internet @ODELL @Gigi… Tim Bouma Nov 22, 2024, 1:54 AM
nostr I just set up my own custom handle on BlueSky - @trbouma.supername.app (I own this domain name) I gotta say, a custom handle instills ownership. A similar thing can be done with nip05, I've done it and my handle here is trbouma@openbalance.app which is the Tim Bouma Nov 22, 2024, 1:49 AM
nostr Since #nostr #safebox is coming along nicely, I am thinking about what the requirements would be for a corresponding #safeboxrelay. I have stood up my own strfry instance for testing. It is working really well, and I test random relays using nostr.watch So far, I haven’t identified any… Tim Bouma Nov 21, 2024, 5:44 PM
nostr This is what the internet was designed for folks. This is what #nostr is designed for, too!… Tim Bouma Nov 21, 2024, 1:22 PM
nostr This is what it’s like to build a wallet that supports multiple mints and multiple payments using #nostr… Tim Bouma Nov 20, 2024, 12:33 PM
nostr A primary motivation for me with #nostr #safebox is to create a completely portable ‘wallet’ (I prefer safebox) where I can store funds, secrets and proofs and invoke it from anywhere so long as I have the recovery phrase of 12 words. The concept is similar to a cold wallet, Tim Bouma Nov 19, 2024, 12:57 PM
nostr I was successful in using #nostr #safebox for this transaction. I deposited the funds using one machine (my MacBook) and using the recovery phrase, sent the funds by accessing the safebox on an entirely different machine (a vps). Not only impossible to trace the fund flow, it was impossible to… Tim Bouma Nov 19, 2024, 12:23 PM
nostr This was my first real world purchase using #nostr #safebox. Thanks to @isolabell.art 🎨 for being such a gracious merchant for an experimental payment system. The whole transaction was conducted via #Amethyst NIP-17 DMs and payment made via #Nostr #Safebox… Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 8:41 PM
nostr I just got safebox recover working (not yet ready for user testing yet). I can create a safebox on any machine (my macbook, for example) - find the recovery phrase and go to any other machine, a linux vps that have the safebox binarie and type, for example ./safebox recover " Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 3:18 PM
nostr I am looking to attend an in-person #nostr conference in 2025, hopefully as a presenter as well on my project #nostr #safebox. Any suggestions? #asknostr… Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 3:09 PM
nostr I actually have open, honest and productive conversations on #nostr because no one is playing to an algorithm or wanting to be top dog on the platform (because there is no platform). I am also falling into my old habit of blog first, revise later. For those who care, I… Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 3:06 PM
