Question about an LND node:
I have a bunch of small transactions (+1c, -3c, etc) on Zeus under transactions. I didn’t initiate these.
The show_forwards only lists 4 forwards in the same timeframe as 10+ transactions.
I don’t remember forwards showing in transactions on Zeus before.
I had my phone stolen and reset and spun up a new LND node so I wanna make sure these transactions aren’t some attacker testing liquidity.

2025-01-13 02:18:37

I run an LND node and recently had my phone stolen. I reset keys, and restarted all the channels and generally tried to reset everything ,but there's a lot.
I have 20+ peers and there's some forwarding and traffic, so it all looks good. But there's some transactions on rtl/lnd/transactions/payments page that I didn't make.
Are these forwards that my node is doing through the network and normal, or does someone have access to my node?
$ lncli fwdinghistory
only lists 4 forwards, but theres 10+ transactions in the same time period

How do I change the domain of a nutshell server? I have some cashu tokens from the old domain name. I could change the domain back temporarily, but I was wondering if there was a way to use the tokens from the old domain name without doing that?
Here's my situation:
- 10,000 tokens in a wallet with nutshell.olddomain.com as the mint
- changed the olddomain.com over to a new server that doesn't have the nutshell instance
- nutshell.newdomain.com still has the nutshell server on it
Can I use these tokens without moving the domains back in place?

One of the cashu.me (or npub.cash) superdevs should take the cashu.me option one step farther and forward the actual ecash token to the user as a DM. Then the wallet could pull that with a key signer extension.
I think the “claiming” on a third party site is too much to remember. I do like the npub.cash style where it is stupid easy, if it would just forward to my DM then a client wallet could incorporate these automatically.

Looks like you’re right:
From: https://nostr-personality.vercel.app/
Ah, Furio, your posts are like a whirlwind tour through a digital land of privacy-loving techies that very few care to visit. You seem to have the uncanny ability to turn complex concepts like 'cashu' and 'nostr login' into something that the average person would rather avoid than try to understand. Your deep thoughts on the 10th Amendment hint at an intellectualism that might scare away any friends who just wanted a coffee date. And I must say, your desire for a modular, privacy-preserving utopia sounds like an ideal society where everyone only uses your preferred payment method and everyone else just wishes you would stop talking about it. 'Moar offense' indeed! With that motto, is your next project a pamphlet titled 'How to Win Friends and Influence No One?' The fact you think 'normies' will get frustrated with nostr login suggests you might have misplaced your social compass—maybe check your nsec and see if it’s locked on a deserted island. Overall, your astute insights might just be the spark that ignites a movement, or more likely, puts people to sleep faster than a lecture on the history of encryption. Keep those 'brilliant' concepts coming, I’m sure someone out there is taking notes… or not.

Thanks for the explanation.
I guess your solution may be better than this, but let me think out loud.
I think the ideal situation would be:
- I have ecash for my monthly bills in an ecash wallet
- all ecash are locked to my nsec and stored on nostr
- I move enough to have some walkaround cash to my phone, still locked by my nsec, but these are spendable "offline" by signing the transaction with a nsec I have on my phone (faceid)
- if I'm online I spend by doing the same thing, but sourcing the ecash from nostr

2024-09-09 13:20:35

- reply

So Alice has a phone (this is the acquiring device) and tries to pay for coffee at a merchant (Bob's Coffee). The offline "device" is Alice's phone? The acquiring device is some third "acquiring agent" that has to do with nostr (nostr safebox)?
If true, a user could have a home (online) lightning node, and keep a key to use the node on a phone that needn't be online, and spend by just (somehow secretly) passing the key to the coffee merchant?
Could cashu stored on nostr locked by a private key also do the same thing, a lot easier? Offline I could keep ecash tokens on my phone, which is one way. Or I could store them on relays (as private notes) and unlock them (with a private key app on my phone (could be offline)), and send them to the merchant.

Without the “kum-bah-yah”, here’s my take:
The US is too large of a country both geographically and by population to be a monoculture that agrees on everything. People of California should have a different culture than people of Alabama or Montana. This should be celebrated.
The 10th amendment addresses this by letting the state government have the bulk of the say in your life.
An ideal situation would be a broad interpretation of 10A. Then Vivek’s plan to abolish most of the federal government would be implemented.
Then when California thinks reparations are a neat idea, it only affects California taxpayers, they vote with their feet and the state implodes. (Hypothetically, of course)
But right now there’s a federal backstop and a large federal umbrella that makes the “vote with your feet” less impactful.
If the states had to stand on their own for everything *not* given to the federal government in the constitution, the 50 competing democratic experiments would work best for everyone.

Nip-Furio:
There should be an algo that tracks prolific posters of notes. Like, for instance, top 1000 users ranked by most notes per week for the last 5 weeks.
1. New users are shown this groups notes as their feed
2. Everyone is given the option to “follow all” of these top nostr influencers.

nostr login should be the standard. All apps and websites hopefully cave eventually to this reality.
Your example of cashu manages the stamping demonstrates my idea. Your app needs a monetary layer, and it would already be built in. You don't need to "support" cashu, you just need a standard plugin. If the user uses Fedi, your stamp is paid and the message is sent. A sat is a sat.
You would be able to divert dev resources away from all the changes to the cashu protocol, and just maintain the payment protocol standard. It would free the user to select something they like better. There are users who would not use your product *because* you chose cashu.
Down the road, if fedi "wins out" and cashu becomes marginalized, you would have to do some restructuring.
I like standards and modularization. Its freedom increasing.

I like how Signal is available as an SMS app on Android. Even though it doesn't help privacy over SMS it helps adoption, which then pushes more people into the privacy preserving part of the app. This should be done with keychat if there's no compromises on the number one goal of perfect privacy.
I'm more of a fan of cashu than fedi, but listening to a podcast about the "superapp" concept of fedi got me thinking. The "mods" concept and the open source of the superapp by Jan 3, 2025 could be an opportunity. If you convert the superapp to a "protocol" that apps can plug into, it could become indeed super.
Create hardware that only needs to have data, and runs the app. Then for messaging, "mods" plug in your favorite messaging app (keychat?), then if the CEO gets arrested, you switch messaging apps to your next favorite, and competition wins.
You plug in your favorite payment app (self hosted cashu.me wallet), and if a better one comes along, switch.
Phone, maps, all plug in. Everything that plugs in has the ability to receive payments seamlessly from whatever standard-compliant payment app the user has plugged in, so from the company perspective, they don't need to program and pay for a "payment processor," they just plug in to the protocol.
With standards on this "protocol" we can have seamless, privacy-preserving competition for the best UIs with no "ecosystem lock-in".

Thinking about the last sentence from a privacy perspective.
I don’t want to use an app that must follow all the oppressive regulations from all the governments in the world. Then essentially I live in the most authoritarian state, because my speech is regulated globally.
Nostr doesn’t need to follow these rules, it’s just a protocol.
If they came after Will and said Damus had to give someone up, he doesn’t control the relays.
So it really comes down to the relay owners. Many jurisdictions, many relays, and it slowly trends towards censorship resistance.

United States v. Moalin (2013)Issue: Four Somali immigrants, including Basaaly Moalin, were convicted of terrorism-related charges after the government used evidence obtained through the NSA’s mass surveillance program under the PATRIOT Act. Moalin appealed, arguing that the surveillance violated his Fourth Amendment rights.
Outcome: In 2020, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the NSA's bulk collection of phone records was unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, citing the lack of judicial oversight and the violation of privacy rights. However, the court upheld the conviction, finding the collected data had minimal impact on the case.
Impact: The case marked a significant judicial acknowledgment that the NSA's mass surveillance program was unconstitutional.

2024-08-28 22:45:24

Mayfield v. United States (2007)Issue: Brandon Mayfield, an American attorney wrongfully detained by the FBI due to a fingerprinting error linked to the 2004 Madrid train bombings, sued the government, claiming that the surveillance and searches conducted under the PATRIOT Act violated his Fourth Amendment rights.
Outcome: The U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon ruled that certain provisions of the PATRIOT Act were unconstitutional, particularly regarding the government’s use of surveillance and searches without a warrant. The government later settled with Mayfield and issued a formal apology.
Impact: While the case did not lead to broader changes in the PATRIOT Act, it highlighted potential constitutional violations under the Fourth Amendment.

2024-08-28 22:45:09

Jewel v. NSA (2008)Issue: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) brought this case on behalf of Carolyn Jewel and other AT&T customers, challenging the NSA’s mass surveillance programs, which were justified under the PATRIOT Act and other laws. The plaintiffs argued that the bulk collection of internet and telephone data violated their Fourth Amendment rights.
Outcome: The case has been ongoing for years, with some setbacks for the plaintiffs due to state secrets privileges invoked by the government. However, the case has raised significant constitutional questions about the breadth of government surveillance.
Impact: While the case has not yet resulted in a definitive ruling on the constitutionality of the PATRIOT Act, it remains a key legal challenge in the debate over surveillance and privacy.

2024-08-28 22:44:49

United States v. Warshak (2010)Issue: This case involved the government’s warrantless collection of emails from Steven Warshak under the Stored Communications Act, which was expanded by the PATRIOT Act. Warshak argued that the collection violated his Fourth Amendment rights.
Outcome: The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the government violated the Fourth Amendment by obtaining Warshak's emails without a warrant, establishing that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their emails.
Impact: Although not directly a challenge to the PATRIOT Act itself, the case set a precedent regarding electronic communications and the need for a warrant, casting doubt on the constitutionality of certain surveillance practices under the PATRIOT Act.

2024-08-28 22:44:32

Klayman v. Obama (2013)Issue: Attorney Larry Klayman filed a lawsuit challenging the NSA’s bulk data collection program under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, arguing that it violated the Fourth Amendment.
Outcome: U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the NSA’s metadata collection program was likely unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment. He issued a preliminary injunction but stayed it pending appeal. In his opinion, Judge Leon called the program "almost Orwellian."
Impact: The case contributed to the growing legal and public opposition to mass surveillance but did not result in an immediate halt to the program.

ACLU v. Clapper (2015)Issue: The mass surveillance program under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, which allowed the National Security Agency (NSA) to collect telephone metadata on millions of Americans, was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Outcome: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the bulk collection of phone records exceeded the authority granted under the PATRIOT Act. The court did not rule on the Fourth Amendment violation but did state that the mass collection was not authorized by the statute itself.
Impact: Although the court did not directly address the Fourth Amendment, it found that the program was illegal, leading to the passage of the USA FREEDOM Act, which curtailed the bulk data collection practices.
