The real DAO will be when we can atomic swap payments for cryptographically provable compute running an AI model with a Bitcoin balance. All we need is Bitcoin, Nostr, LLMs, DVMs, ASS (Atomic Signature Swaps) and cryptographically provable compute. Just the last part is missing.

Ads will come to Nostr. The attention here will be too valuable for such a market not to emerge. Either we make it decentralized or face the consequences of centralization.

2025-04-17 06:44:14

Sponsored events enabled by Atomic Signature Swaps is a solution to the advertisement part of @npub1pzz…dsr8's DSP proposal:
"The fact we have to contend with is that money is a key element in centralization. Users bring advertisers, advertisers bring money, money pays for expansion and development of the service, and a better service brings yet more users. Money is essential to this feedback loop that draws everyone to the same service provider, whose real business is that of matching eyeballs to advertisements. [...] Somehow, the users must be at the center of this process of value creation and transfer. Given that user attention is the source of value in the system."

To propose a swap you need to sign in with an nsec (the other party can use a nip-07 extension). After signing in you just insert the npub of the other person, click the button, wait them to accept the proposal, click another button, wait them to publish your GM, click another button. Done.

2025-04-16 19:18:28

I'm trying to figure out the generic version in order to propose changes to NIP-07 and NIP-46 for it to work with extension and remote signers. As of now, one of the parties need to sign in with nsec in order to generate an adaptor signature, since other signers do not support it yet.

2025-04-16 19:09:03

- reply

At the end of my article I propose a separate NIP specially for Sponsored Events (notes, reposts, reactions, etc) that uses the ASS NIP that is too generic. Fortunately selling follows won't work well, because it is a replaceable event and cannot be proposed to multiple people at the same time 😂

Yes sir. The only way for them to redeem your payment (taproot or cashu) is by revealing the signature for a Nostr event you want.

2025-04-16 18:32:03

- reply

Exactly, because you might try to skip your part of the deal, but if you publish my side, I can always extract your signature from mine (since you had to add your own signature to my adaptor signature in order to get a valid signature from me)

2025-04-16 18:27:42

It's done already. You published my GM to you first, then I extracted your signature from it and published a GM from you to me.

Nice, I will look into it, although it will need major adjustments on the oracle side for it to sign the price using specific nonces. It won't be trivial to implement since one must also know the exact message the oracle will sign when generating the adaptor signature. It is simple when there is a more limited set of possible outcomes, but both price and timestamp can take on too many different values.

2025-04-10 10:10:14

- reply

Oh that's why then, you would need to sign in using NIP-07 for now since the client still lacks remote signer integration... I will let you know when I have that in place so we can swap those friendly GMs.

2025-04-10 09:35:55

"So I can receive a thing that let's me sign for something but the signature is invalid until the sender of the thing adds their own signature."
No, the "thing" is an invalid signature until YOU add your signature to it. By doing that and using this now valid signature publicly (publishing to a relay, claiming a Cashu token or sending a taproot transaction to the mempool).
The mint is not the signature issue, it is just the signature "verifier". You can swap signatures with anyone else, just relying on the mint as a neutral independent and mutually trusted escrow.
One practical example I am working on is a decentralized marketplace for sponsored content on Nostr. Advertisers will publish campaigns (like to promote a new podcast, book or bitcoin conference) and you could send them a proposal (price and the actual content of a note) if you think this would be of interest to your followers. If both of you agree on those terms, you can atomically swap a cashu/taproot payment for the signature of such a Nostr note.
I just sent you a GM proposal there, you can accept it without giving your nsec because only one party (me in this case) must generate the adaptor signature that is still not supported by NIP-07 and remote signers. You will notice that you'll be asked to pre-sign your GM note, without reveailing it yet, just saving the encrypted signature within an event (it could also be kept locally on your client but then it would not interoperate with other clients). You will just reveal the public nonce of that signature, which I am going to use next to send you an adaptor signature back (the "thing" we talked about).
