nostr If I zap you, it’s nothing personal- I’m just testing Nostr Wallet Connect with #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jul 17, 2025, 9:44 PM
nostr Repeat to yourself 100x “Bitcoin is the asset. Lightning is the rail. Cashu is the credit. And Nostr brings it all together in a permissionless way.” This is what the global financial infrastructure will look like in the future. This is what I’ve concluded in building #nostr #safebox #unstoppable… Tim Bouma Jul 16, 2025, 2:22 PM
nostr Some fun zaps coming in. These are going to my new safebox.dev server that I fired up as zero configuration server using a docker container. The most recent zap is another one I fired up in Ireland. #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jul 14, 2025, 1:34 PM
nostr The underlying component of #nostr #safebox is called acorn. Here is an acorn I picked up during my morning walk today. Our neighborhood is full of oak trees, still to be considered ‘Royal Oaks’ because the sovereign kept the title to the trees for their wood which was the strongest… Tim Bouma Jul 14, 2025, 1:06 PM

nostr A better social media is not the use case for #nostr. It’s way bigger than that…… Tim Bouma Jul 13, 2025, 12:33 PM
nostr If you get unity right, scale doesn’t matter. #nostr gets unity right with each event having its own cryptographic identity. Same with npubs, you can generate as many or as few as you like, and they are all unique. When unity is solved, you can be as big or… Tim Bouma Jul 13, 2025, 12:05 PM
nostr I’m excited about #nostr #safebox. It’s evolving into an email-like server that can send funds and records, like email. You get an email-like address that also is NIP-05 compliant, which you can link to your social npub if you wish (see mine). All funds sent… Tim Bouma Jul 12, 2025, 5:40 PM
nostr Prolly nothing. Created a #nostr #safebox using one web app instance. Blew away that instance. Took down the vps. Created a brand new web instance of #nostr #safebox on another vps (thanks again, lnvps.net !) Recovered the #nostr #safebox created from the blown away instance. What this means - if your… Tim Bouma Jul 11, 2025, 5:55 PM
nostr Autonomy is about generating your own address and name. Easy to do with #nostr - generate your own npub and publish a kind 0 event. Done. The simple npub solved some key governance problems of the internet. Problems: Public internet addresses are managed centrally. Good luck changing that. The Domain Name… Tim Bouma Jul 11, 2025, 5:30 PM
nostr I am grateful for the simplicity of #nostr because I can build the complex things I want without permission.… Tim Bouma Jul 10, 2025, 10:01 PM
nostr The nice thing about #nostr is that I actually don't have to trust anyone nor do I have to trust their code.… Tim Bouma Jul 10, 2025, 5:43 PM
nostr All seamless! Testing payments between two independent running instances of #nostr #safebox. It looks like an ordinary Lightning payment, but the payment transaction is actually using ecash behind the scenes, not touching the Lightning Network at all.… Tim Bouma Jul 10, 2025, 12:36 PM
nostr First testing of a zero-config container for #nostr #safebox. Fire this up on a fresh server (thanks lnvps.net !) and configure your reverse proxy setting to point to this and you are suddenly providing a service that seamlessly plugs into Lightning and any other #safebox instance that is running.

chatgpt Remember, OAuth 2.0 was designed to facilitate login by the big digital platforms at the time. Security was pushed out of the protocol and left to the implementors to handle.
