nostr #nostr makes cryptography a standardized commodity, so you don’t have to think twice about using it in your solution.… Tim Bouma Mar 29, 2025, 1:10 PM
nostr The #nostr #npub identifier is the only type of identifier that I know of that can: sign data send and receive encrypted data, and receive value (sats) using a resilient and redundant infrastructure (relays). And it’s all cryptographically assured (no trust required). If that’s not enough to drop… Tim Bouma Mar 28, 2025, 3:48 PM
nostr The institutional base layer of society is dependent on reliable title and trade networks. #Nostr and #Bitcoin can provide these networks.… Tim Bouma Mar 26, 2025, 1:33 PM
hypermedia My first step towards a #hypermedia app: the beginnings of a point-of-sale terminal for #nostr #safebox - reverse-engineering a simple calculator app and rebuilding according to the hypermedia principles. Still a few weeks away, but looks promising!… Tim Bouma Mar 25, 2025, 2:17 PM
nostr This diagramming excercise has helped me to clarify to myself that #nostr isn’t better social media. Also, #cashu isn’t a better form of money. But when put together, they become the building blocks to support Title and Trade Networks that can’t be stopped or influenced by outside… Tim Bouma Mar 25, 2025, 12:29 PM

nostr Another one of my #nostr noodle diagrams. As I am building #safebox, I am always trying to abstract to clarify the intent of whatever I am building. I see two parts - one is interacting with a Social Network which is all about reputation (not necessarily, identity) and interacting with a… Tim Bouma Mar 24, 2025, 5:29 PM
nostr My next subproject for #nostr #safebox - building a #hypermedia point-of-sale terminal that works on a Kindle browser (more generally, any constrained e-paper device)… Tim Bouma Mar 24, 2025, 1:03 PM
nostr Instant micropayments is rapidly becoming the most taken for granted part of #nostr #safebox. I say this in a good way, because instant micropayments is now a functional baseline that everyone will expect of their wallet. It just works. I am now moving into another exciting territory - sovereign health data… Tim Bouma Mar 24, 2025, 11:18 AM

nostr I can’t help stopping to think about this story. A radiology report was faked so the boxer (an 18 yr-old female) could compete. She died. Imagine if all your medical records were under your control and independently verifiable regardless of where you are in the world. This is… Tim Bouma Mar 22, 2025, 5:07 PM
