Nostr stores should support cashu payments sent in secure DMs. Buyer can reclaim the payment if seller doesn't reply.
Seller doesn't need a payment processing or e-commerce server, mobile phone is enough. Maybe the cheapest and easiest way to run a small online store.
Some sort of order management UI for buyer and seller on the client side would be nice.
Just thinking aloud, only tried Shopstr so far but should check out others as well (Amethyst?)
Pic kind of related, could be my dropshipping lifestyle store.

If you had your own inventory and order process, that argument would be easier to make. But if you're just filling order forms, exchanging bitcoin and intermediating payments for any online store, I believe the authorities at least in Finland would like to consider you a payment processor.

Nostriches could maintain collections / virtual stores of their favorite items by various merchants, and get a referral bonus when people buy from them 🤔
I'd do a "non-fiat swag" virtual store that lists high quality merchandise made of durable materials like wood, leather, hemp or steel, instead of the usual plastic made in China.

2025-03-31 13:00:46

#nevent1q…gxy9
I was thinking of doing this in Finland, but then you'd be a money transmitter and probably have to do KYC, which trashes the UX and defeats the purpose.
Setting up BTCPay Server or https://opennode.com for my favorite online stores might be a better way to make them accept bitcoin. Help them with bitcoin storage, exchange and accounting. The EU kindly doesn't yet require KYC from them.
What would be even more rad? Crawl online stores onto Shopstr, let users send orders that are paid in Cashu. Notify merchant of pending orders and let them redeem the nuts. User can reclaim the payment if merchant did not respond.

This is easy and we can do it today. If MLS becomes available at some point (for web also) and works better, we should use it instead. MLS is more complicated and I see a risk there, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I agree with this. It's better to use MLS if it works reliably and is not overly complicated to use as a library. Double ratchet's advantage is simplicity: it's fairly easy to implement on all platforms. I think it makes sense to try both and see how it goes. Maybe both have different use cases.

True. Iris alleviates it by showing a checkmark based on social graph distance and hiding users that are not in your social graph at all.
However, that doesn't prevent someone in your social graph from changing their name and avatar to impersonate someone else.
Nip05 doesn't prevent that either, unless you notice the discrepancy between their nip05 and other details.
One solution would be that users publicly record the name and other details of other users at the time of follow. The details recorded by yourself and people you trust would be shown, even if the user changed it to something else.

Double ratchet rotates message keys after each message, so previous consecutive messages from the same author become undecryptable, when the previous message key is discarded after decryption. It's a small difference, but it's good for disappearing messages.

It's separate: MLS and Double ratchet are different solutions to the same problem. MLS is more complicated, but better suited for large groups.

"Add to home screen" on iOS to enable push notifications.
The point of double ratchet is 1) hiding message metadata (who you're messaging and when) and 2) keeping your past and future message history safe in case your main Nostr key is revealed.
I'll write a nip for it. Basically it's Signal's "double ratchet with header encryption", but using Nostr keys instead of symmetric header key rotation. The algorithm is not too complicated. https://signal.org/docs/specifications/doubleratchet/
Typescript library, only uses cryptography from nostr-tools. https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-double-ratchet
"Public invite" on your "new chat" page is published on Nostr. It's used when you first send message at someone's iris.to profile. Initial message to public invite is from anonymous sender, but publicly visible. From thereon, keys are rotated and stay hidden. "Private invite" is not published, so it's more private when shared over QR code or other channel.
Sometimes the chat sessions stop working at iris.to, probably it's incorrectly saving an old version of the ratchet session state. Working on it.

It's a bit of apples to oranges comparison. Idk how Larry got hacked, but chances are that it was something other than compromised device. He might not have been hacked on Nostr. Compromise of Nostr key is unrecoverable unlike compromise of X account, but chances of it happening might be lower.

App specific keys and some way to link and unlink them with each other.

2025-02-24 06:39:55

- reply

Surprisingly, I don't recall a single instance where anyone's Nostr account was hacked. Entering your private key into an insecure app would be the most obvious way how that could happen.
Compromise of a popular app would be bad. Maybe we'll need app and device specific keys signed by other keys of yours at some point.
However, Nostr doesn't have the traditional attack vectors associated with passwords, email, SMS and third party account recovery, which is already very good.

Always wanted to visit Finland, the land of 5 million people and 3 million saunas? Now’s the perfect chance.
BTC HEL, the largest Bitcoin conference in the Nordics, will take place in Helsinki for the first time on August 15–16, 2025.
Join us in orange-pilling Finland before the anti-crypto narrative has a chance to catch on, like it has in other Nordic countries.
We have a positive and true story to tell: Bitcoin can make even renewables more profitable and balance the power grid. In the North we can use up all the excess heat. All the while, sound money fixes short-sighted fiat culture.
Please DM @npub1w2e…pmgp or email hello@btchel.com if you’re interested in speaking! Flights and hotel are covered for speakers.
Tag the people you’d like to see there!
Sign up for the mailing list to know when the ticket sales begin: https://btchel.com

Applied after hard refresh? 😄 @npub12rv…85vg

Sorry, I had introduced a bug to tags, should be fixed now.

I wonder why they did not build on Nostr keys and events. Anyway, the pubkey-dns resolver is super cool! It should be complemented with a browser extension for looking up public keys in your social graph.

Lugano was so much more crazy and fun than I expected 😄
I played my first gig since high school. Can't wait for the next Rockamoto!

Also I think I want to do a LMDB version of this: https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-social-graph/blob/master/src/SocialGraph.ts
Can be used as a strfry web of trust filtering plugin.

2024-10-23 10:32:07

Daily dev thoughts: Nostr notification server should probably connect to relays and let them do what they do best: filter -> subscription matching. On the notification server you'd just match the subscription ID to notification endpoints. Resubscribe everything if the relay websocket reconnects.
If you're self-hosting and only have a small number of notification subscriptions (less than 20 or so), you can connect to public relays. If you're running a notification server for 1M users, you'll need your own private relay that has no subscription limit.
I'm thinking of pubkey -> [notification subscription JSON] database. Pubkey is client & session specific, not linked to a Nostr public identity.
What DB to use? I want it to be easy to self-host (docker at minimum) but also scaleable, so it can be the default notification server of a client. Efficient persistence is an obvious requirement. LMDB seems like a good option, but on the other hand MongoDB has lots of existing tools for administration, monitoring, indexing, JSON handling etc.

And one-click zap with other wallets too

Yes, being able to one-click-zap using the Cashu wallet would make it a lot better. I just probably don't have the time to do it anytime soon 😬

Yeah, we are often our own worst critics when others don't care so much. It's healthy to learn from mistakes, but also to get over them. I've had difficulty with the latter and found that talking about things helps in the process, even if it can be uncomfortable.

I mentioned it later on the panel: building applications that move money and taking a cut of them, even if it's a voluntary donation that's enabled by default.

Fug... now that I'm home, I woke up last night to reflect on past cringes. On the main stage panel in Amsterdam I forgot what I was about to say (how to make money with Nostr) after already starting my answer and ended with "and umm yeah [awkward silence]". Should have re-asked the question.
I'm quite sensitive to cringe, but fortunately those moments have been mostly off stage since Slush 2014 which was pretty bad (or maybe I just haven't noticed). I'm not the best speaker, but I'll try 😄 Come see me in Lugano next week!

So it would actually be a general notification service, not just web push

2024-10-13 19:46:05

For those who don't do push notifications, it could send email, sms or fax

2024-10-13 19:21:23

Random dev thoughts: Would it be a good idea to do an open source web push notification server for Nostr?
It could have fine-grained options for what notifications you want, from whom and how often.
It could be used automatically in the background by a client, or through its own web UI. Clicking the notifications would redirect you to the client of your choice.
It would be a lot like a relay in that it needs to match incoming events to a potentially large amount of subscriptions. Subscriptions would be persisted in a database and maybe managed over a REST API.
In addition to the stuff typically sent over Nostr, you need to send the subscription object and other things like notification frequency, maximum social graph distance or score, minimum zap amount to notify etc.
It would connect to other relays and maybe also have a websocket endpoint for receiving events over Nostr protocol.
Extending strfry into this direction crossed my mind, but maybe something like Django (or whatever web framework you're familiar with) would be better, as we need to persist the subscriptions.
