Almost a year ago, I proposed a Nostr NIP to create a large liquidity pool for Bitcoin P2P orders on Nostr.
The idea is to have a standard (or an attempt at one) that, as more platforms implement it, allows end users to have a single place to search for the order that best suits them and, from there, navigate to the platform where the chosen order is located.
So far, this standard has been implemented by @nprofile…ah8m , @nprofile…3u36
and @nprofile…u67e
A couple of months ago, @nprofile…0nef created this very useful P2P dashboard where we can see all the orders that meet this standard.
https://p2p.band
I believe the more P2P orders published here, the greater the benefit for users and the platforms themselves, as end users are directed to the option that best fits their needs.
For curious minds here the NIP

Generally speaking, first-world Bitcoiners don't use Bitcoin because they don't need it; they just store it in cold storage.
The same goes for democracy: citizens with a stable democratic system aren't interested in having a transparent, open-source, trustless voting system.
This is something we, the banana republics developers, must do. Let's do it!

2025-05-10 15:25:09

The first "usable" version (v0.1.1) of #Cryptocracy has a thousand things to fix and improve, but I'm gradually adding and correcting them. This version has almost everything hardcoded. For example, the Electoral Commission (EC) software must have its own private keys. This data shouldn't be public, but to facilitate testing, this version uses a private key that is public in the repository.
For now, a database isn't implemented, so you can only vote in one election.
To select an election and a candidate, press ENTER; to exit, press ESC (or the q key).
The way it works is, the EC is executed, which will create an election with the status "Open." After 1 minute, the status changes to "In progress," and voters can vote. After 1 hour, the voting status changes to "Finished."
It displays the results in real time. This should be changed to display the results at the end in the future.
I generated the .exe binaries (voter.exe and ec.exe) for Windows users; Linux users can compile it 🤓
Anyway, it needs a lot of work, so contributions are welcome.

We constantly complain that politics is dirty, and no one wants to get involved because they would end up being part of that swamp.
Politics isn't dirty, but politicians are.
We should start working on ELIMINATING politicians from politics.
How do we eliminate them?
By creating tools so that citizens can exercise politics securely, privately, and secretly.
I've been working on a system to give people the real ability to actively participate in the decisions that affect their lives and communities.
For these types of tools to be truly useful, they have to be open source, but that's not enough. They must be auditable at runtime. This can be done with cryptography techniques and using #Nostr as a data transport layer.
For all of the above, I've been working on #Criptocracia, a simple tool that will allow citizens to vote securely, privately, and secretly.
Criptocracia is a proof of concept that we will continue to test, adjust, and improve.
Contributions and feedback are very welcome 🥲

yeah probably, there are many use cases for Voting, this idea I propose is to be implemented on a NGO board to approve or reject proposals but also can be used in countries elections where you have a EC

2025-04-13 19:53:00

Thinking in a voting system on Nostr
* Each voter sends a Gift Wrap (GW) event addressed to the Electoral Center's (EC) pubkey. The event internally contains the signed vote information and the sender's pubkey.
* The EC maintains a list of pubkeys authorized to vote.
* For each GW event received, the EC validates that the pubkey is in the registry. If the vote is signed correctly, the vote is counted, and the identity is discarded.
I need to think a little more about audits.
EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING must be open source, especially in this area.

I coded a minimalist peer-to-peer chat application written in Rust utilizing the Nostr protocol for decentralized and secure communications.
In this demo we can see how an observer can see the conversation between parts if one of them share the shared key
We are implementing it to allow a dispute solver have the option to look the conversation only if it is necessary to have a better understanding of the situation and make the best decision.
More info here:

Hey everyone, I just created a very simple chat which use @nprofile…3u36 p2p chat implementation, this chat is really private and secure but the real importance of this is that it allows users to share a key with a third party, the third party can see the whole conversation between peers and the main use case for this is a solver can solve a dispute in Mostro, but this idea can be implemented on many other platforms.
if you have rust installed you can start testing just runing
cargo install mostro-chat

After many discussions and a lot of trial and error, we finally have a simple and efficient way to allow an admin to intervene in dispute resolution.
I just uploaded a repository explaining how Mostro clients handle chat between users. We use a Diffie-Hellman shared key between the two parties as a master key, which either party can voluntarily share with the solver in case of a dispute. This way, the solver can verify who is lying.
For the curious, the repository technically explains how it works and includes sample code. I’m currently implementing it in mostro-cli, and I hope to add it to Mostro’s official documentation today. @nprofile…3u36 client builders can now implement user chat without worrying about changes—this will be the scheme we’ll stick to.

Hey everyone I'm implementing nip59 to @npub1m0s…40un which will allows more privacy to users, I'm thinking how to keep privacy and still allow users to be rated and share their reputation.
Here's an idea that came to me today
Clients will always use a new ephemeral key for each new order, the user who wants to maintain reputation can send an event to Mostro signed with each ephemeral key used to update their rating.
Example 01:
* Alice uses the automatically generated key abc to create a sale order
* Bob takes the order, they finish the operation
* Each one rated the counterparty
Example 02:
* Alice wants to make another sale, the client automatically generates the key xyz
* The client automatically sends a message to Mostro signed with the key xyz and the internal content signed with the key abc, this way Mostro knows that the user of xyz is also the user of abc
* Alice creates the order with the key xyz and Mostro shows the reputation obtained with abc
* Carol takes the order
* They finish the operation
* Each one rated the counterparty

Maduro y sus secuaces han dicho que entregaron las actas al Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ) que trabaja para la dictadura, al mismo tiempo Maduro tiene a un equipo de expertos chinos creando nuevas actas que coincidan con los resultados del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE).
Una vez estos expertos chinos hayan terminado, se espera que lo hagan en un máximo de 15 días, el TSJ habrá dicho que las actas entregadas por CNE son válidas y harán públicas las actas creadas por los chinos.
Las nuevas actas falsificadas serán iguales a las mostradas por MCM, pero tendrán el aval de las instituciones chavistas, que aunque nadie en Venezuela les creerá porque hay miles de testigos que tienen copia de las actas que coinciden con lo que mostró MCM, algunos actores internacionales como los presidentes de izquierda Petro, AMLO y Lula dirán, ahí está, es la prueba de que Maduro es el presidente electo.
El sistema electoral desarrollado por Smartmatic tiene un gran problema y es que el hash de cada acta utiliza criptografía simétrica, esto quiere decir que tanto para hashear la data como para verificar si el hash es correcto se necesita la misma llave.
Si en cambio utilizara criptografía asimétrica, todos podríamos verificar muy fácilmente y no habría espacio a "consultas" a un tribunal supremo arrodillado ante el dictador, explico como funciona la criptografía asimétrica de manera muy superficial y sin tocar detalles técnicos.
La criptografía asimétrica tiene dos llaves, la llave privada, que no se debe mostrar a nadie y es la que se utiliza para firmar data, con esta llave privada genero una nueva llave que llamamos la llave pública, la que le muestro al mundo y se utiliza para verificar si un conjunto de datos fue firmado con la llave privada correcta, así que las actas podrían ser firmadas con una llave privada que tiene cada máquina, pero verificable por cualquiera, esta es la pieza clave que falta en el sistema de smartmatic para que sea seguro y la que utilizará el chavismo para tapar el fraude.
