Are you ready to build the payment network of the future?

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.

quoting note1ega…q5u7

📢 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
