I spent like 20 minutes in it. Very pretty. Not sure i want to invest any more time in it though… maybe i’ll try again soon, but kinda want to do another bg3 play through 😅

2025-04-27 16:00:44

finally beat #bg3. I don’t have much time to game but have been playing it off and on since release.
of all the games i’ve played in my life this has got to be in the top 5 of all time, 173 hours to finish the game and I feel like i barely scratched the surface.

has anyone figured out how to build a successful business while simultaneously maintaining your health, and also also being present/a good father. i think its doable but takes an insane about of discipline and time management.

yeah pretty much, if you are using a custodial lightning wallet and you’re happy with it, then there’s not any huge benefit to using ecash
i see it as an extra value add as a merchant for customers who care about privacy.

do you have a preimage attack on sha256?

2025-04-26 15:37:22

- reply

but do you currently accept token from any mint or from a whitelist? that is the main thing I couldn't get my head around. it sounds like the cashu devs are working on a swap mechanism for wallets so that this is seamless for the user.

2025-04-26 15:25:11

- reply

yeah the swap thing was an aha moment for me, if I can assert that cashu wallets have to use my preferred mint in a static payment request and the wallet does the swap, then thats fine for me.
do wallets implement the swap thing?

2025-04-26 14:57:13

can the payment request be static or is it always interactive?

At this point you don’t even need the seal, so it’s simpler than giftwraps

2025-04-26 13:47:42

You could also hash kinds into this identifier to group your private data if you wanted to:
p=sha256(nsec+”storage”+”kind123”)
to pull down your private kind123 data. this would look even more random to a passive observer, and would allow you to pull only specific private data you need
#note146u…06p6

2025-04-26 13:36:52

for completely private note storage on relays you could giftwrap with a p tag = H(nsec+”storage”). You could pull these down, unwrap them and store them in nostrdb for local querying.
giftwrapped notes have no internal signature, so your private, unwrapped data could never be broadcast to relays.
the wrap itself has no publicly identifiable information tied to you, so people don’t even know who is storing the data.

isn’t this terrible for the users who tries to pay and it fails? seems like you would only want to do this in the offline case, but accept any + redeem to lightning for everything else

2025-04-26 13:06:24

- reply

can you show me code that does this? I find that hard to believe. At the end of the day unless the sats are in my lightning channel i’m calling bs.

2025-04-26 12:53:03

- reply

This seems to be the main benefit, offline payments.

2025-04-26 12:45:19

When considering accepting cashu for my anonymous ai proxy i ran into this dilemma. Can cashu people please explain this to me. Is providing this option mainly a convenience for the users who prefer using evash?
Can’t their cashu wallet just do lightning without doing this dance to begin with? I am continually baffled at what the point of ecash is when it appears to be just a clunky and redundant interface on top of lightning.

2025-04-26 12:39:47

- reply

Why? To accept it you need to instantly convert it to lightning anyway to make sure it’s “real”. At that point why not use lightning to begin with?

not sure I understand your point. nostr is already a spec'd out protocol and has nothing to do with http or the browser ecosystem. damus currently doesn't build on the web at all, and provide native apps.
all I'm suggesting is building a rapid development platform for building nostr apps. these apps will be compatible with native nostr apps and web based nostr apps, since the thing that makes them interoperable is the underlying data model, relays, and nip01, not how they are implemented.

2025-04-25 20:41:08

also looks like last update was 2-3 months ago?

2025-04-25 20:36:20

I like to offroad a lot... so much that I am specifically designing #notedeck and #damus #android so we can spin up new ideas quickly without having to build an entire cross-platform app for every nostr experiment.
notedeck will be the best interactive development environment for building nostr apps.
built in:
- nwc/zapping wallet
- signing
- multi account
- relay/fast database for local storage.
- local p2p sync
- relay sub/outbox toolkit
- ui toolkit of rendering notes, profiles, etc
you get all these for free so you can focus on building your app instead of protocol details.
no signing browser plugin needed. no bunker needed. you don't need to be a gigabrain coder to build something. vibe coders rejoice.

our damus call this morning got me thinking about decentralized exchanges. nostr is the perfect network for bootstrapping one. you already have trust relations with people, you can build a #robosats-like market on top of this.
all we would need to do is a ship this in our android/desktop app as a #notedeck app for widespread availability. one day...
