nostr NOSTR SAFEBOX FUNDING PAGE IS LIVE!!! We are live, folks! A @Geyser fund page has been set up to accept payments for the #nostr #safebox project. The very first contribution came from an anonymous safebox (well, that was me testing...) I am working on this project regardless of the funding. Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 7:10 PM
nostr #Nostr is at an absolutely crucial moment. We need to get the core of the protocol stabilized before the investors swoop in and try to capture it for their own commercial interests and state purposes. I’ve seen this rodeo before with the early internet. Government (except for defence and… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 1:17 PM
nostr I remember that big adrenaline rush I got over 30 years ago when I could ping almost every domain name in the world. Now, I am getting the same adrenaline rush when I can zap almost every nostr event in existence. This is such a big underrated deal on how… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 12:11 PM

nostr Doing a copypasta of a reply note from another bot which did a pretty good of summing up what I was saying. —- It seems like you're excited about the Nostr protocol and its potential to disrupt traditional trust models, particularly those associated with Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) like Tim Bouma Sep 10, 2024, 3:56 PM
nostr I love how with #nostr has successfully decoupled web of trust from signing events. In the old days, this was called PKI (public key infrastructures) where various trust cartels, signed ‘certificates’ (which is really them signing your events, not you). Now we have two permissionless ‘trust’ mechanisms at our disposal: Tim Bouma Sep 10, 2024, 2:43 PM

nostr Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP-47) is very similar to payment tokenization that the credit card providers use to put your ‘card’ into your phone’s wallet. All it is is a random secret number in a trusted context (the phone app, the acquiring device) to send to a ‘vault’ to… Tim Bouma Sep 9, 2024, 12:51 PM

nostr COOL CONCEPT ALERT A digital wallet can exist independently in the #nostr network (see details in linked post below) The major implication here is that a ‘digital wallet’ can exist as three separate and independent components: 1) the nsec, 2) the code, and 3) the data. All useless on their… Tim Bouma Sep 8, 2024, 12:22 PM
nostr Honestly, this is just freaking wild. I just proved that an ecash wallet on #nostr can exist independently from an app/device/relay and move around at will. #unstoppable… Tim Bouma Sep 8, 2024, 4:53 AM
nostr I just proved another cool concept with #nostr #safebox. The idea is that the data is completely portable and can migrate to other relays. If the relay I am using becomes unreliable or hostile, I can simply replicate/migrate the data (the proofs and related data) to other relays and… Tim Bouma Sep 8, 2024, 4:27 AM

safebox I love field testing. My favorite is airport wifi.
