ai I see the term ‘conscious agency’ being a much less contentious term than ‘sovereign individual’. In short, I want a technology that can extend my own conscious agency into the network without it being high jacked by a platform. This is a very McLuhanesque take, and is a more constructive… Tim Bouma Jan 20, 2025, 12:00 PM
nostr I just finished a real zinger of a book, "Case Against Reality" by Douglas Hoffman. I am now getting into the math in the appendix. Full disclosure, I am an engineer and look for cool things to apply. #Nostr piqued my interest a couple of years ago due Tim Bouma Jan 19, 2025, 1:00 PM

nostr I’m excited for the day when I can have my funds and info at my fingertips but not captured by a platform or locked into a device. This is why I am building #nostr #safebox. Preview coming soon…… Tim Bouma Jan 18, 2025, 12:37 PM

nostr I've added in the stubs for Private Data and Credentials, which will be stored on relays. Shortly, I will be adding the details to the Private Data page and adding the info independently using the command line app. I am also adding the 'owner' concept. Though Tim Bouma Jan 16, 2025, 6:55 PM

nostr IT'S COMING!!! PRIVATE DATA STORED ON RELAYS for #nostr #safebox After several months of fine-tuning saving funds on #safebox (also NIP-60 compliant) I am turning my focus to storing private data. It's now a piece of cake because of all of the infrastructure I Tim Bouma Jan 16, 2025, 3:44 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.

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
