# NIP-XXX
## Joinstr: A protocol for coinjoin using nostr
This NIP describes the nostr events used in joinstr for collaborative transactions to improve privacy on-chain.
## How does it work?
1. **Create a pool**: Alice can create a pool using basic encrypted channels with `kind:XXXX` event. Event contents have the below information about the pool:
```json
{
"type": "new_pool",
"id": "psfpcilmig1710701402",
"public_key": "f6f40f620c3db0dc5d11ff67a4cad5b6a7316c57c48cdf40583f54bbbc2d7b49",
"denomination": 0.01,
"peers": 10,
"timeout": 1710702002,
"relay": "wss://myrelay.local",
"private_key": "ff0d49343aa8277b38ab4b1c2aa1ae17b599913ca0f938bfcf9aa2a5f30eb9d6"
}
```
2. **View other pools and join**: Bob reads all `kind:XXXX` events and publishes a NIP 4 event with pool's pubkey being the recipient to join the pool. Pool responds with credentials and further communication happens in channel by publishing NIP 4 events with pool's pubkey as author and recipient.
## Details
- All events are published with a new pubkey
- Encrypted channel communication uses NIP 4 events sent to self
- All peers in a pool use the same IP address using Riseup VPN
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Alice
participant Encrypted Channel
participant Paid relay
participant Bob
Alice->>Encrypted Channel: Generate keypair for encrypted channel
Encrypted Channel->>Paid relay: Add channel pubkey
Bob->>Encrypted Channel: Request channel credentials to join
Bob->>Paid relay: Add user pubkey
Encrypted Channel->>Paid relay: Respond with channel private key
Bob->>Paid relay: Read private key and join channel
```
Consider Alice and Bob are 2 peers trying to coinjoin using joinstr:
```
- Alice creates a pool with denomination 0.01 BTC and 2 peers
- She publishes her address in the pool
- Listens for incoming pool messages and respond with crdentials
- Post input signed with SIGHASH_ALL | SIGHASH_ANYONECANPY when other peer joins the pool and publishes address
```
```
- Bob request pool credenatials
- Listens for incoming messages for his pubkey used to publish last event
- Join the pool and publish his address for output
- Post input signed with SIGHASH_ALL | SIGHASH_ANYONECANPY
```
A transaction is created with the signed inputs, outputs and broadcasted to complete the coinjoin.
## New Event Kinds
This NIP introduces one new event kinds which is used for creating the pool.
```json
{
"kind": XXXX,
"created_at": <unix timestamp in seconds>,
"pubkey": <new pubkey>,
"content": pool information as JSON,
"tags": [],
"sig": <signed with a new nostr pubkey>
}
```
### Implementation
https://gitlab.com/1440000bytes/joinstr/-/merge_requests/2
## Known trade-offs & future improvements
- Riseup VPN is used instead of Tor
- NIP 4 events will be replaced with better NIP in next version to improve privacy
- Electrum plugin is still WIP

By definition a “public square” is not a private square…

mining pools arent "centralization" - they are incentive driven collaboration

i think also there was a forced push somewhere in the history... and maybe my repo has diverged - just a guess.
