I'm on my way to recovering (I'll not get back my sats that's for sure) but I did manage to stop it before it drained my node (which he could have gone on to do).
I guess the only positive way to see it is that it was cheaper than a security audit and it's better that I caught this now.
I'm kicking myself because I knew adding certain functions earlier this year messed with my security model and I just didn't game attacks enough.

A few things: tiles.podping.org was down since Friday morning.
It was collateral damage because on Friday morning I lost around 10m sats to a hacker.
There was a stupid flaw in how I processed payments via my API server and someone found it and exploited it.
Timing was spectacular as Friday night was the start of Yom Kippur and I couldn't afford to rush this fix.

How is work going on @npub12ln…zq7n being able to link to something via the Podcast Index ID or a GUID?
I've now set tiles.podping.org to link to Episodes.fm but only when there is a valid iTunes ID.

you're either using cookies or far worse session id in url.

I don't know if you listen to Security Now but they've covered Google's attempts to replace 3rd party cookie tracking with other things and it does sound like the reason this DOESN'T happen is because of lobbying by the rest of the tracking cabal via the EU.
Certainly cookie warnings (for 1st party cookies) that the EU pushed on everyone are a complete red herring and a pain in the arse.

Winer isn't smart enough to understand what we built in Podping or the underlying Hive systems which fill the server gap between what Podcasting 2.0 does with it and what equipment is needed.

I guess id need to parse all podpings against that and then put it into my model. And remove the constraints on the Pydantic side.

They really can be fantastic with understanding technical docs. Working on OAUTH.

If someone has a GreenLight virtual node and is trying to receive tips from Nostr for example, if one receives 1sat per minute 24/7 is there some penalty for the node waking up every minute?
Do you even need to receive the sat? Is it possible to wake the node up just with an lnurl call to generate an invoice.
I have specifically put very strict rate limits on my invoice generation api to stop this.

are your channels to your GL node actually full BTC main chain transactions? I struggle to understand how your node is connected to the rest of the network except via a single channel.

With thanks to @npub16dk…7ssq I have Authentication working on the v4v.app version of Alby.
I have two working endpoints, /user/me and /user/value4value
Happy to hear if anyone else can get the auth cycle working: all you need is a Hive account and probably Hive Keychain browser plugin or phone app.

If anyone wants to see if those urls for auth and api can just drop into an existing app let me know and we can do an interactive session if time zones work.

2024-06-13 16:15:51

I think I've done it....
I think I've got a recreation of Alby's auth and one end point so far.
You need to have a Hive account and the only endpoint I've built is
/user/value4value
Once you get a bearer token, that end point will return details for the hive user who completed log in. Details of the two URLs which need to change are in this gist:

I'm following along with interest.
Is the idea that these baby nodes which only spin up virtually are only supposed to have one in/out channel to the hosts's proper node?
I'm struggling to see how I would replace my 24/7 full Lightning Voltage node with this system.

2024-05-18 07:15:34

@npub1z6g…amwj If I had an authenticated API end point that gave you data which looked like this, do you think Helilpad could be run as a server hosted web app which didn't need its own database?

I actually might switch that column to show HBD.

2024-05-13 18:05:29

they stay in sats now until the holder chooses to send them out to another wallet via an invoice or convert to Hive or hbd.
I send a 0.001 Hive message as a notification (which you keep obviously) so I debit that 0.5 sat from the balance.

2024-05-13 16:10:08

If you use your Hive account as a way to receive Value for Value streaming sats, I've now added a way to see the data for your show.
If there is more demand and if anyone wants to experiment with using v4v.app for streaming receipt, let me know.
There's also a new easy way to get a Hive account.

when I built my original system I used the REST API because I simply couldn't figure out how to make gRPC work. With rest I do watch for incoming invoices and that triggers my back end to do stuff.
I actually pull all invoices in and decode them but I could just pass the right ones across a bridge.
But that was 2 years ago and my skills were very basic.
I dare say I could do this.

2024-05-11 06:33:58

@npub1z6g…amwj what call are you using to get the info out of the node? I'm wondering if I could give a secure api end point to you from my v4v system which would allow anyone to use it against my Lightning infrastructure.

2024-05-10 15:10:53

I'd love someone to build a Hive to Activity Pub bridge. I'm sure this would be amazing especially because the back end storage would be taken care of by Hive.
