Jestopher (npub18yv…lpz3) Amboss cofounder discusses all things Lightning, the payment network of the future.

If you're a permie hungry for some solid discussion or someone who is interested in learning more about permaculture this nest is going to have something for everyone. It is my intention to host these discussions on the first Wednesday of every month so let's kick the first one of the year off together!

PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) releases nsecBunker 0.10.0, codename: nostr, an oauth-like protocol. This release provides the ability to run OAuth-like bunkers which will allow registration in your bunker to new accounts.
📢 nsecBunker 0.10.0 is out!
Codename: nostr, an oauth-like protocol
This is a significant release that provides the ability to run OAuth-like bunkers which will allow registration in your bunker to new accounts.
It also integrates with LNBits + Nostrdress to provide the ability for new nostr users to be able to immediately receive zaps 🤯
✅ LNBits
✅ Nostdress for zap receives 👀 (thanks Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 (npub1nxa…a6q8))
✅ NIP-89 announcement on each nsecbunker boot
* Tons of bugfixes
Next up will be connecting the new user's wallet to automatically negotiate Nostr Wallet Connect; clients will be immediately able to *send* zaps. No fidgeting with copying around connection strings or scanning QR codes, client and nsecbunker negotiate in the background.
Under the hood, this is using the flow described here https://github.com/kind-0/nsecbunkerd/blob/master/OAUTH-LIKE-FLOW.md
nos.social (npub1pu3…tfch) v0.1.1 is out on TestFlight with several fixes. See linked note for details.
