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 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
nauth Nostr is the protocol that keeps on giving. I’ve been following the debate in Open Identity Connect (OIDC) where bearer tokens can be used by anyone who intercepts them. Now there is a panic to further lock down the tokens. With, #nauth , I don’t have to worry about… Tim Bouma Jan 18, 2026, 5:42 PM
digitalpublicinfrastructure I think it’s possible to build #digitalpublicinfrastructure that is controlled by no-one and used by everything. That is what I am trying to prove with #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jan 18, 2026, 1:55 PM
nostr I am now looking for a enterprise relay deployment for #nostr #safebox. #strfry by @Doug Hoyte has been excellent (flawless) so far and I plan to give #pyramid by @fiatjaf a whirl… Tim Bouma Jan 16, 2026, 1:56 PM
safebox The first video shows a #safebox issuing a pass to another #safebox via a NFC card, then request (and verifying) the issued pass via the NFC card. The second video shows logging into a #safebox with the NFC card and viewing the issued pass. The final photo shows the NFC… Tim Bouma Jan 15, 2026, 12:47 PM
nostr It's rewarding to see the zaps come in, especially when I know that the payment trail goes cold as soon as it hits my system (save for the comment, which I forward on) #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jan 14, 2026, 1:26 PM
nostr After a very successful coding sprint, I am taking a few days to reflect on what I’ve built. This is the outcome of about a year’s worth of prototyping, coding and experimentation. I’ve proven that I can create a secure back-end communication channel between any two… Tim Bouma Jan 14, 2026, 1:08 PM
safebox This is a live demo showing one #safebox requesting a record from another #safebox. It looks straightforward- scanning a QR code but behind the scenes the safeboxes are negotiating which relays to use, transmitting quantum-safe public keys, additionally encrypting the payload and sending via encrypted gift wraps as ephemeral… Tim Bouma Jan 13, 2026, 10:03 PM
nostr It's been a heavy lift, but the past few weeks have been dedicated to making #nostr #safebox #quantumsafe. For individual #safeboxes, they will have a separate encryption key that is never exposed via a public key. For transmission of records, payload are additionally encrypted using key encapsulation method Tim Bouma Jan 13, 2026, 7:13 PM
nostr NOSTR SAFEBOX IS ON THE PATH TO BECOMING QUANTUM-SAFE!!! This was a big lift over the past week, but I managed to get the quantum-safe algorithms from Open Quantum Safe (OQS) integrated into my #nostr #safebox build. I've already built an experimental relay that accepts and Tim Bouma Jan 7, 2026, 3:37 PM
nostr Pretty chuffed on my progress this weekend. I’ve been successful creating and signing #nostr events using quantum-safe cryptography. Yeah, the overhead sucks, not great for social media, but well worth it for long-lived sensitive #safebox records vulnerable to harvest and decrypt threats. Now hacking a relay that… Tim Bouma Jan 5, 2026, 12:22 AM
