nostr Imagine if a law enforcement official doesn’t like what you posted, so they force entry into your residence and take away your phone and other electronic devices. You’re screwed. That’s now the reality in some Western countries, where posting something that might make someone uncomfortable or be… Tim Bouma Feb 18, 2025, 12:24 PM
nostr What is really cool is that I can restore a #nostr #safebox to a random new identity, with a new lightning address on a new host. For that matter, I can restore the same #safebox to multiple lightning addresses to multiple providers - all looking completely independent but all sending and… Tim Bouma Feb 16, 2025, 9:01 PM
nostr Very cool. I just proved that it works. I created a #nostr #safebox on a random relay using the safebox command line tool. I deposited funds via the command line tool. I went to the web app recovery page, entered the seed phrase and the random relay of this newly… Tim Bouma Feb 16, 2025, 3:06 PM
nostr For my project #nostr #safebox I am developing an authentication protocol which I am calling #nauth. The reason I developed this new protocol is so that either party, name initiator and recipient can initiate the protocol. I wanted to address a situation where only one party might have the ability… Tim Bouma Feb 16, 2025, 10:58 AM
nostr Now working on #nostr #safebox recovery. The theory is that if you know your recovery phrase and the relay that your data is on, you will be able to recover your #safebox to any online service of your choosing. This gives you a measure of independence from any online service… Tim Bouma Feb 15, 2025, 10:18 PM
nostr This is for the authentication geeks out there. In building #nostr #safebox I decided to create my own authentication protocol that takes advantage of properties unique to nostr. What's cool about it, is that the protocol is completely symmetrical as far as the actors - it doesn't Tim Bouma Feb 12, 2025, 2:30 PM
nostr The superpower of #nostr is that you can build your agent capabilities into the network that are independent of any one service. That became clear to me while building #nostr #safebox. It is in effect an agent that exists out there in the network, to be controlled by you and… Tim Bouma Feb 12, 2025, 1:13 PM
nostr I viewed it as bit of an edge case, not a very plausible scenario, but now watching it unfold in real-time - the shock takeover of government IT systems and personal data being extracted for immediate executive action. This unfolding scenario is making me even more motivated to build #nostr… Tim Bouma Feb 12, 2025, 3:24 AM
nostr Today, on the @nosfabrica call, I successfully demonstrated the use case of what I call “Patient Zero to Nostr Hero”. It was a health consultation over a Zoom call where the patient was on-boarded to a new wallet, used that wallet to authenticate over zoom, consultation completed and resulting… Tim Bouma Feb 6, 2025, 7:36 PM
