nostr A 'wallet' is not an 'app' to be regulated, it's an abstract concept. Psst! Keep this a secret while the EU regulates to death every app that looks like a wallet. Let's just keep theses 'wallets' in the #nostr network Tim Bouma Aug 15, 2024, 1:52 PM
nostr Coming soon! #nostr Safebox A Python implementation of #nsac (or nutsack) a concept invented by @PABLOF7z (NIP-60+61). A #nsac is a ‘wallet’ that exists as encrypted events across relays, only accessible by the corresponding #nsec. It uses redundant providers, relays,mints and blossom servers in a way that… Tim Bouma Aug 15, 2024, 11:25 AM
nostr I like this simple mental model for #nostr: #npub is your #nostr public key #nsec is your #nostr private key #nsac is your #nostr private wallet The last one, #nsac, the kernel of the idea is taken from NIP-60/60 by @PABLOF7z , but can be generalized to hold more… Tim Bouma Aug 14, 2024, 12:49 PM

nostr This book as dense as hell and near the limits of my reading comprehension, but damn it's good! It was written in the late 60s and early 70s by German philosopher Niklas Luhmann and only published in English in 2017. I feel this book was written for #nostr Tim Bouma Aug 14, 2024, 11:05 AM
nostr I’ve proven to myself that a #nostr wallet can exist across time and space, independently of any one app, server or custodian. The only thing which controls the ‘wallet’ is the generation and control of an #nsec which is free to exist within or flee any jurisdiction. In my… Tim Bouma Aug 14, 2024, 10:27 AM
nostr It's wild. I just proved I can build #nostr 'wallet' where I can store the encrypted tokens in a Germany relay and make the lightning payment out of a Singapore mint. All using a #nsec that never leaves my machine.… Tim Bouma Aug 13, 2024, 6:34 PM
nostr I am thinking about coining the term “nsac” to refer to a wallet-like thing that can exist on #nostr holding your valuable things, such as ecash tokens. I have already implemented a prototype #cashu ecash wallet which looks to be promising. So you would have: #npub - your identity #nsec… Tim Bouma Aug 13, 2024, 5:29 PM
