nostr I was successful in using #nostr #safebox for this transaction. I deposited the funds using one machine (my MacBook) and using the recovery phrase, sent the funds by accessing the safebox on an entirely different machine (a vps). Not only impossible to trace the fund flow, it was impossible to… Tim Bouma Nov 19, 2024, 12:23 PM
nostr This was my first real world purchase using #nostr #safebox. Thanks to @isolabell.art 🎨 for being such a gracious merchant for an experimental payment system. The whole transaction was conducted via #Amethyst NIP-17 DMs and payment made via #Nostr #Safebox… Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 8:41 PM
nostr I just got safebox recover working (not yet ready for user testing yet). I can create a safebox on any machine (my macbook, for example) - find the recovery phrase and go to any other machine, a linux vps that have the safebox binarie and type, for example ./safebox recover " Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 3:18 PM

nostr The digital wallet industry has this idea that you want to store everything in their wallet (I say ‘their’ because it’s really a government-approved app). Nothing can be further from the truth. A wallet evolved to carry coins (payment) that could easily hidden or defended on the person. Tim Bouma Nov 18, 2024, 12:30 PM
nostr Now, four handy ways to pay with #nostr #safebox The user need not care about the underlying transport safebox zap <amount> <noteid|npub|nip05> safebox pay <amount> <lnaddress>safebox send <amount& Tim Bouma Nov 17, 2024, 2:36 PM
nostr The reason I’ve become super hot on zaps is because it’s a great abstraction for generalize payment. I’m currently implementing an improvement to #nostr #safebox where the zap command detects whether the destination is a note or a npub and handles the transaction accordingly. The user need… Tim Bouma Nov 17, 2024, 1:07 PM
nostr Very cool. It’s a njump.me link to an event which you scan via your camera app; it asks to open to your default app, which hopefully you can zap from. I also tried directly from a Lightning wallet, it got confused. We may need to standardize something so… Tim Bouma Nov 16, 2024, 3:37 PM
nostr Totally excited that I got an instance of ditto up and running. Even more excited that I can use the relay as the backend for #nostr #safebox But I still need help to grok how I can use this to make a real difference for a community. Advice, examples, most… Tim Bouma Nov 16, 2024, 1:21 PM
ditto Well this is f***ing cool! I spun up #ditto server from @Alex Gleason 🐍 and used the in-built relay to send payments from a #nostr #safebox. Worked flawlessly!… Tim Bouma Nov 15, 2024, 8:14 PM
nostr That zap was just over $300 CAD I am proving to myself that zaps can become a universal payment system that works equally well for a single sat or a fiat payment in the thousands (millions). The note I zapped could have been an invoice event with instant reconciliation. That… Tim Bouma Nov 15, 2024, 1:52 PM
nostr This is so cool. I gotta try this. I am planning something similar for #nostr #safebox where you register the npub and links an address to receive payments.… Tim Bouma Nov 13, 2024, 9:34 AM
nostr This thing is starting to feel real! Over the past few days I have sent almost 1M sats through the payment network as zaps, dms, ln invoices and cashu tokens. #nostr #safebox… Tim Bouma Nov 12, 2024, 10:20 PM

nostr Here is a command line taste of sending an ecash token from one npub to another using #nostr #safebox. The #safebox instance on the right is listening for NIP-17 messsges containing Cashu tokens. The #safebox instance on the left is sending 1 sat to the npub via the command… Tim Bouma Nov 11, 2024, 12:38 PM
nostr Running #nostr #safebox ecash transactions between different nodes using NIP-17 as the transport and using random relays around the world. Transactions are cleared and funds transferred between wallets without even touching the Lightning Network. It all works. Wild, just wild.… Tim Bouma Nov 11, 2024, 2:31 AM
cashu About four years ago, I went deep on central banking and monetary operations. Just over two years ago #Cashu came along, then I discovered #nostr. I realized you could build an entirely new monetary and payments infrastructure using Bitcoin as the base layer, and something that could rival the likes… Tim Bouma Nov 10, 2024, 12:44 PM
nostr Hear me out. Credit is not a bad thing. It enables the monetary system to expand and contract when necessary. This was the case in Canada where the private banking system could issue notes that were redeemed at par at the competing banks. This was especially important during harvest season… Tim Bouma Nov 10, 2024, 12:30 PM
nostr Testing zaps of amounts approaching $250 USD to demonstrate that #nostr can become a serious payments system. I'm testing with #nostr #safebox that stores the funds in relays in the form of Chaumian ecash proofs. It is working like a charm. I believe that this can become a Tim Bouma Nov 10, 2024, 1:21 AM
