After a late night and early morning coding, I have proven to myself that any #npub once generated can immediately receive self-custodial funds via Lightning.

No need to share the #nsec to anyone.

Now code cleanup and promote to main.

More details to come.

#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 only the #nsac holder can access the info.

I would love to have this mentioned at #nostriga unconference calle 👁️⚡👁️

#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 types of private information than just tokens.

The genesis of any #nsac is an #nsec - you can use your own, but not recommended- just generate an #nsac for which you, and only you know the corresponding #nsec

The cool thing is that an #nsac can be instantiated across multiple relays and take advantage of multiple providers such as mint and blossom servers.

I am already implementing a Python component called ‘safebox’ which is experimenting with the #nsac concept. It is solving some problems regarding custody - I will get into that in a later post.

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 mind, this lays to rest the notion that a wallet needs to be an app, service, or anything that can be captured commercially or by the state. nostr:note15kx06ndujxu6f64hju6f0td8nvqdrxhku8hdtc94tt32ha9wn8rs5wzrt3

I have already implemented a prototype #cashu ecash wallet which looks to be promising.

So you would have:
#npub - your identity
#nsec - your private key
#nsac - your valuables

Your #nsac could be the same as your #nsec but better case is to generate as many #nsacs as required.

Happy to hear feedback!


For reference, what a ‘sac’ is in the biological sense:

A sac is a biological term referring to a pouch or cavity in an organism that is typically enclosed and may contain fluid, air, or other substances. Sacs can serve various functions depending on their location and role in the body, such as protecting a developing embryo, facilitating the exchange of gases in the lungs, or reducing friction between moving parts in joints

The key idea is that the relay is free to do whatever it wants, but with the minimum of only relaying messages that are signed. Similarly, #npub holders are free to use any app or relay they choose so long as they sign with their #nsec.

That’s it!

Your #nsec is like gunpowder and your #npub is like a cannonball that can break down the walls of the closed gardens.
