blossom Successful initial integration of #blossom support for #nostr #safebox. The binary data is served from a back end blossom server and served via a safebox app endpoint.… Tim Bouma Feb 5, 2026, 8:00 PM
nostr Sharing some more of my design and architectural thinking for #nostr #safebox. The first diagram shows the main elements of the substrate capabilities, namely #Blossom, #Cashu, #Nostr, #Lightning, and #Bitcoin. Eventually all of this will be abstracted away from the users who only care about the safekeeping of their #Funds… Tim Bouma Feb 4, 2026, 2:54 PM
nostr First step of integrating imaging data into #nostr #safebox. Data is stored in Blossom servers.… Tim Bouma Feb 4, 2026, 1:30 PM
nostr Starting my blob integration into #nostr #safebox Blossom is f***ing amazing!… Tim Bouma Feb 3, 2026, 2:47 PM
nostr Here is an updated block diagram of #nostr #safebox showing the networked resources used behind the scenes so that users can manage their funds and records. The QR code illustrates that a direct connection can be initated via a QR code.… Tim Bouma Feb 2, 2026, 9:38 PM
nostr Imagine if you could provide your health records via a fully decentralized card system and have your records verified and trusted using Web of Trust? It’ll be possible with #nostr #safebox. See below.… Tim Bouma Feb 2, 2026, 6:35 PM
nostr As I develop #nostr #safebox, I try to focus on understanding what the core value to a user might be. I believe it's something like this: 'Safekeeping of my funds and records, without sacrificing ease of use." Simply put, if I don't have my Tim Bouma Feb 2, 2026, 3:38 PM
safebox Jumping on the moltbook bandwagon- every agent can have their own #safebox to privately transact payments and share private records - not tied to any machine instance - living entirely on the #nostr network. I had an inkling this was going to happen, but not this fast…… Tim Bouma Feb 1, 2026, 4:41 PM
nostr A simple block diagram on how two instances of #nostr #safebox instances dynamically interact with one another. I have successfully de-coupled the interaction so that each user interacts with their https server only and all interactions are marshalled through relays. For example the QR that is scanned contains only… Tim Bouma Jan 31, 2026, 1:04 PM
nostr Note to self: Add this term to the ever-expanding bad #nostr neologisms: —- nstrprise (n): An organizational entity that uses the Nostr protocol as the basis for its digital capabilities.… Tim Bouma Jan 31, 2026, 12:07 PM
nostr This might not look like much, but I have successfully integrated NIP-85 Trusted Assertions into my verification process. Any #nostr #safebox user will be able to decide what root authorities they trust, and what trusted assertion providers they use. This allows anyone to decide how they wish to verify… Tim Bouma Jan 28, 2026, 7:52 PM
nostr Useful report from the EU: everyone cares about their health records, but I don’t think users actually care or want the EU Digital Wallet. With #nostr #safebox, I am gunning for an open, secure system that is strong enough for private health records and with private payments. Fundamentally important, Tim Bouma Jan 27, 2026, 8:59 PM

nostr It’s becoming easier and easier. The exchange I use gives me a virtualized Visa Debit Card that I have on my phone. It also gives me a Lightning address. Yesterday, I sent funds from my #nostr #safebox to my exchange Lightning address and then loaded the funds on the… Tim Bouma Jan 23, 2026, 12:43 PM
nostr Sharing on how I have implemented Web of Trust (WoT) and Root of Trust (RoT) in #nostr #safebox. There are four steps to the verification: Validation: Is the record crpytographically valid? Presenter: Is the record coming from whom to whom is was issued? Attested By Owner: Did the owner attested… Tim Bouma Jan 22, 2026, 2:06 PM
nostr The key innovation of #nostr (aside from its simplicity) is the use of the digest (hash) as the identifier of the event/record. That means the info is cryptographically bound to its record identity and, this, the record can be stored anywhere and referenced from anywhere (relays). Amirite? #asknostr… Tim Bouma Jan 22, 2026, 1:06 PM
nostr My experimental account for #nostr #safebox to test trust list concepts for the @nosfabrica #WoTathon. Accounts that are followed by this account are considered trusted entities.… Tim Bouma Jan 18, 2026, 10:02 PM
nostr Another big pushback FUD on #nostr is that the protocol is not ‘quantum-safe.’ Well, I called bullshit on that FUD by upgrading the protocol to use quantum-safe algorithms (including an upgraded relay)… Tim Bouma Jan 18, 2026, 6:17 PM
nostr It took me a couple of years to figure this out. The core reason why #nostr is going to win as a protocol: By creating a unique event id that is the digest of its: author (pubkey), meaning (kind), timestamp (created_at), metadata (tags), message (content), and: signing of this… Tim Bouma Jan 18, 2026, 6:07 PM
