nostr Also works on my old-as-the-hills travel Kindle, though I need to manually refresh the page to see the updated balance. #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jan 13, 2025, 8:16 PM
nostr Using a Kindle as a point of sale terminal. See the balance update as the payment goes through #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jan 13, 2025, 6:02 PM
nostr The cool thing about developing something new from scratch is that you stumble on an unexpected capability for which there are no requirements. Then you have to back-propagate that capability into a set of requirements or a use case you never dreamed of. This is the exact opposite of… Tim Bouma Jan 13, 2025, 1:25 PM
nostr Why? CBDCs+Stablecoins are digital fiat currency that are cleared and settled on bespoke rails that surveil every transaction and can shut you down at any moment. Ecash+Relays are blinded tokens encrypted and swapped using multiple and redundant relays and only settled (redeemed) only when necessary. You can’t… Tim Bouma Jan 12, 2025, 1:48 PM
nostr My ultimate goal is to provide a wallet application that even though your phone gets burnt to a crisp, your service provider shuts down, and your government goes hostile, you can still recover your funds and private data. That is the mission of #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Jan 11, 2025, 8:13 PM
nostr UPDATE: Once again, pinching myself to see if I am dreaming or not. I am making excellent progress on #nostr #safebox. Since the beginning of the project I have been building the component to work within the context of a command line interface (cli) app, I am now getting it… Tim Bouma Jan 11, 2025, 1:06 PM

nostr This is the slow march toward permissioned domination. I want to counter this permissioned domination with #nostr #safebox. Before we know it, any digital interaction will require a permissioned app on a permissioned device, permissioned by the state (especially in the EU). The assumption is that you will be KYC- Tim Bouma Jan 7, 2025, 1:31 PM
nostr Super progress today on #nostr #safebox. I now have implemented multi-mint support for deposits so I can specify a mint to which I want to deposit, other than the default. As for payments, safebox automatically choose the mint to pay from. Right now the payment amount has to be… Tim Bouma Jan 4, 2025, 4:31 PM
nostr Looking forward to implementing this in #nostr #safebox. I have already implement automatic multiple mint handing, but a payment still is ultimately handled by a single mint with a sufficient amount. Now I need to add in the logic to do mpp, should there be a sufficient amount, but spread… Tim Bouma Jan 4, 2025, 12:22 PM
nostr Hi folks, A quick update. I am still hard at work on #nostr #safebox aiming for a release in Feb or Mar 2025. Right now, I am focusing on NIP-60 compatibility, so it can be used in other clients. I am excited for the longer-term vision of creating… Tim Bouma Jan 3, 2025, 1:42 PM
nostr I’ve been thinking about this a lot… The combination of Bitcoin/Cashu/Nostr enables the emergence of a global deposit and transfer mechanism that is independent of any existing financial system. That is what I am trying to build with #nostr #safebox. In studying the systems that existed before… Tim Bouma Dec 31, 2024, 12:22 PM
nostr As I work on #nostr #safebox I am seeing some interesting convergence. For example I have implemented the two following commands: $ safebox pay <amount> <lightning address>$ safebox zap <amount> <nip05 address|npub> Both commands Tim Bouma Nov 25, 2024, 3:26 PM

nostr This is a #nostr #safebox zap to a nip05 address. Doesn't look like much but there is a lot going behind the scenes. The npub is resolved using nip05, the kind 0 event is looked up and the lud16 is taken from the profile. A lightning invoice is Tim Bouma Nov 22, 2024, 2:18 AM
nostr Since #nostr #safebox is coming along nicely, I am thinking about what the requirements would be for a corresponding #safeboxrelay. I have stood up my own strfry instance for testing. It is working really well, and I test random relays using nostr.watch So far, I haven’t identified any… Tim Bouma Nov 21, 2024, 5:44 PM
nostr A primary motivation for me with #nostr #safebox is to create a completely portable ‘wallet’ (I prefer safebox) where I can store funds, secrets and proofs and invoke it from anywhere so long as I have the recovery phrase of 12 words. The concept is similar to a cold wallet, Tim Bouma Nov 19, 2024, 12:57 PM
