@nprofile…pyug is it possible to make Amethyst load video previews without actually starting the video? I mean let the app load the video "frames" in the feed, but then you need to press the play button on the video to start it.

Ok this: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/faq-alby-hub/why-do-i-need-to-link-my-alby-account should clear pretty much all doubts, the Alby Account is the middle man to make everything which is public work, so they basically see all that is related to the getalby LN address if you link the node with the Alby account. I mean, it makes sense.

Oh ok, thanks, but it seems I am unable to make it work even following that example. I'll try by doing a simpler cli program, maybe the problem is more with the web framework I am using.

2024-08-18 19:42:07

@npub1drv…seet Hi, I was trying the nostr rust crate to test the nostr connect feature where a web app is generating a qrcode with the "nostrconnect://..." url for Amber to scan and sign. So in this case I am creating the NostrConnectURI object by providing the local public key of the app (not the remote signer) and the usual relays. This goes all well as I am able to then use the Client object, the problem is that when I refresh the web page all the internal state, meaning the Client object, get lost (I am using dioxus as web framework if it can help). The thing is that during the initial "login" phase I save every important value as a String by leveraging the integration with the browser localstorage, so I am fairly certain that the Client object can be recreated, but I don't understand how. I have looked at the examples on the github repo and tried different options but I am unable to properly recreate/parse the NostrConnectURI and then the Nip46Signer. What should be the correct way to do it if I initially "logged in" with a "Direct connection initiated by the client"?

2024-08-15 22:04:21

- reply

I might not have the ability to properly view each pro and con since I am not that technical into cashu and LN low level details and for sure you make some good points, but I still have some questions/doubts:
- Aren't people connecting with shockwallet to a Lightning.Pub node effectively using a custodial service? More trusted for sure if they use a friend or family one, but still custodial right? So in this case isn't using a cashu mint as a base adding only benefits? You still need to trust the node not to "rug pull" the LN liquidity right? Which is the "same" with a cashu mint or am I missing something? (A part from the added technical layer obviously)
- So if I am understanding right, under the hood you basically have "multiple keys for each user" so it would be problematic to add whitelisting (please "explain like I am 5" if not 😅 ) and it will negate the benefits of it. Then again the anonymity set is usually low in uncle jim nodes, so almost perfect privacy of cashu mints is not that perfect and not that almost 🤣 .
So basically you say that the Lightning.Pub implementation is actually more private (for this kind of use case) and simpler (less technical layers)?
Hope I am understanding right.

2024-08-13 21:51:17

- reply

Sorry to bother you again, but is there a way with nostr-sdk to save the state of the client and/or signer/bunker in the localstorage of the web app that is running everything? Or is this outside of the scope of the crate and therefore needs to be achieved by the framework in use? I am trying something with Dioxus Web but apparently the Client and NostrConnectURI types doesn't support serialization.
I am still a beginner with Rust, so I might say stupid and incorrect things.

2024-08-13 13:42:40

- reply

I think it would be really cool if the Lightning.Pub accounting system (for users using shockwallet) was on top of a cashu mint and not only a pure LN node (neutrino). In this case you could have both the nostr real-time sync and connection to the node (instead of having to manage VPNs, Tor, etc...) and privacy for each user wrt the node operator, right? And maybe this could enable a "private cashu mint" where only whitelisted npubs could connect (family, friends, etc...).

Ehi @npub1drv…seet I see you are working on the Rust Nostr library, I was playing around with it mostly for NIP46 and NIP65 stuff following the example codes on the repo and I was wondering: if I want to publish an event using the outbox model what do I need to do? Is there a method or option on the Client object to automatically publish the event on the outbox relays of the user or do I need to make sure to "client.add_relay(...)" for every outbox relay (taken from "Kind::RelayList" events) prior to sending the event?

Ehi @npub18am…p424 , is it possible to configure the well-known content on nostrplebs.com with the nip46 key to advertise relays used for remote signing with apps like Amber? I am talking about this login flow: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/46.md#nip-05-login-flow

Do you mean the well-known stuff with the nip46 relay urls inside?

2024-08-11 12:04:15

- reply

Oh nice.
Now I am trying to play with the NDKNip46Signer but I am not sure about this: if I want to sign in using the nip05 or npub string, does the remote user need to have advertised the relays in which it will "listen" for bunker connections? I am thinking about the scenario where I want to login on a desktop web page while I have Amber on mobile to sign requests. At least with nostrudel you have the whole bunker url with hex pubkey and the relay you want to use, and I am not sure how this translate in NDK.

2024-08-10 20:19:25

@npub1zuu…c2uc @npub1w4u…0jr5 @npub1ye5…knpr After watching some Nostr Dev videos about NDK I was wondering: are there some nostr clients that uses the outbox model and the "Nostr Connect" login option (the one with the bunker url talking with Amber, like in nostrudel) that are done with NDK? Does NDK support this type of auhtentication?

Some thoughts about Fedimint and Fedi given the recent launch event:
I like the idea behind distributed eCash at least in principle, BUT I still have some doubts on the practical side of things:
- As I understand, Fedimint is distributed only at the cashu level as the federation still requires a SINGLE lightning gateway to function properly. While it is obviously a nice thing to have, I wonder whether this will really make a difference in practice: if we think federations as communities or companies, they might be "distributed" technically, but are still a "single" attackable entity, so what's the difference here from a simpler cashu mint?
- When Fedi open source code? You have money and chat together and expect us to trust a closed source app? I hope the code will be available soon (and with reproducible builds)
So in the end, what I want to say is that unless we get federations composed of different entities that have little to do with each other, like a sort of good "cartel" (so that multiple guardians will actually make sense), fedimint "is only" useful to increase (how much? You still rely on a single LN gateway) the technical difficulty to attack a federation (guardians on geographically distributed nodes, on different cloud provider or datacenter, with different implementations, etc...).
I might have been to harsh here, but this is just my first thought about this, anyway I still like the general fedimint idea.

2024-07-31 19:11:28

@npub1ye5…knpr Would you say grouping "reposts" of a note from multiple users into a single visible note (with the icons/avatars of all the people that reposted it) could be an interesting feature in nostrudel?
For me it happens sometimes that I see a repost of a note I already saw and think "oh ok I've reached the bottom of all the new posts for today", but then I keep scrolling and I actually see something new, so basically that repost was a new one from a different user.
So sometimes the feed is a bit confusing for me in this sense, maybe there could be a way to group these kind of similar events where the actual content is the same (reposted note) and therefore it feels like it's "duplicated".
Might be a stupid thing, but I have this feeling this could actually be interesting 😅 .

Following the nostr feed during the conference got me thinking: it would be nice to have a DVM that summarize/collects the most relevant messages that were posted during a specific event, so that people can catch up with what happened even after few days have passed.

I think that if you want to stay on "normal" linux, the best way is to run Fedora Workstation, at least it has the (imho) best sane defaults (security wise with uefi support, selinux and so on, btrfs and snapshots, etc ...) and only touch connestions using nmcli (network manager)

Given the tokens are "saved" as nostr events on relays, what information is an external observer able to get by looking at a nostr profile? Just a bunch of tokens unable to be "decrypted"? Amount? Mints used? What is the level privacy of this thing?

2024-07-17 23:39:43

I don't fully uderstand the part on the middle of the scheme with those nostr relays, does that mean that each traffic/packet coming from the proxy is "encapsulated" into nostr events that are then read by NWS exit nodes?
So basically we have HTTPS traffic into nostr events and then back to HTTPS traffic again?

2024-07-17 14:39:02

- reply

So you still need to use certificates and be bound to certificate authorities, unless you use a self signed one and trust it?
So basically this is "only" (I mean it's a lot) an alternative way to reach a web site? And does the website still need to have a public IP or is the NWS component "pulling" the connection from the relay somehow?

2024-07-17 14:14:40

- reply

So basically the HTTPS encryption is based not on certificates but on nostr keys? Therefore the relay cannot see the content of the connection?

2024-07-17 09:51:46

Yeah I think you can make the login process with a bunker managed by amber so that you don't need to previously create an application in amber.
The flow would be really cool if you could somehow login by typing your nostr username and then amber sees the bunker request from the set relays

With this process, what info is an external "attacker" able to get from looking at the relays where the tokens are being posted?

Is the wallet creating a sort of hidden seed like other cashu wallets (so you are dependent on using the Highligther app), or is it only relying on your nostr pubkey? Were is the difference here? Apart from the "ecash token on relays" part.

2024-07-13 11:19:22

Do you have some knowledge about those two options? And if so, is Wayland really necessary and useful to confine and separate windows, or the surface attacks could be so that when you have a "faulty/malicious" app it doesn't really make a difference?

@npub1kva…tkzv A few days ago I had a problem with the latest OTA update with Minibits, it now shows zero balance on all the three mints I had, plus the icon/avatar of the profile went back on using the first image it had when I installed the app the first time (the LN address seems to be correct), the app also forgot the mints. The transactions list is also displaying duplicated transactions with an error status (the actual correct transactions I had before are present). Then I tried to increase the index and also delete transactions with errors, but the balances are still zero. Today I tried to receive a LN payment using the minibits LN address and it completed successfully (sats is showing, yet no previous tokens are there), but I am getting a duplicated transaction in the list, with an error status saying "Error: Token already spent.". Sending also works and with no duplicated tx in the list.
Some other notes:
- For a brief time the wallet loaded everything and I could see the balances (with no changes on my side), but now is back into forget land
- I may have activated and deactivated local storage and encryption multiple time while I was playing around with the app in the recent days
Is anyone else experiencing this problem, is there a standard recovery process from here?
It was just a bunch of sats, so not a big deal, but I would like to solve this issue, Thanks.

2024-06-25 16:36:49

@npub12rv…85vg @npub1kva…tkzv I really like the idea behind the minibits ln address to cashu mint flow, and it made me think about this: is there a way to achieve the same thing, but without being dependent from a specific wallet app (nothing against minibits in particular, I am just reasoning about this from a general point of view). So a ln address service that will lock all the received sats on a user specified cashu mint based on some logic (nostr pubkey, wallet seed, etc...). I might be saying stupid things here as I am not an expert on these topics, but I like the general idea.

Ok it makes sense, so let's say that I find the way to import all the tokens on the new app, then I just need to make sure to always have at least their minibits mint as all the sats coming from the ln address will go there right?

2024-06-23 15:55:51

@npub1lxk…5xlc Hi, I saw the last minibits update with support for a "@minibits.cash" LN address, and given your experience with these kind of stuff I wanted to ask you: do you know if I am forced to use their minibits app, or could I just use another cashu wallet imported from the same seed generated with minibits?

2024-06-21 23:26:16

- reply

I don't think it is because of the relay choice, I think the problem here is in the "private" nature of the payment, maybe the wallet used and therefore the corresponding LN payment needs to be done in a way that is recorded as coming from the right nostr profile, so that the event can be associated with it and then be displayed/retrieved. Otherwise it is considered a "rogue" payment, but this is just my two cents.

2024-06-21 21:38:40

@npub12rv…85vg Is there a way to setup a "private" cashu mint?
Let me explain in a more detailed way:
let's say I want to create a cashu mint for friends and family, is it possible to make it so that, even though it would be publicly accessible on clearnet, only them can "register" to the mint and when they pay or are payed by others, these other people (the NOT friends/family users) will not "retain" cashu tokens on this particular mint, but the payment would somehow go to one of their public mints?
I don't know if this is even possible directly on the mint or if it would require something wallet side (for example having a public plus this "private" mint where ecash are "autoswapped" to the private one).

2024-06-19 21:33:47

- reply

Yeah, exactly.
Btw, I also sent you a zap (manually this time, not through Amber or NWC this time, still need to figure that stuff out), but I was just wandering, do you see something in your balance? Because I can see sats are sent, but noStrudel is not showing me anything.

2024-06-19 21:14:14

- reply

Thanks, wow, It works with "direct connection" for me too.
So basically the relay at nsec.app is just the medium to make Amber and the web client talk to each other, but then it's Amber that actually signs the events and sends them back to the web client, no private keys leave Amber right?

2024-06-19 19:29:19

@npub12rv…85vg @npub1t0n…jgqv As of today, is there the technical possibility to have multiple clients/wallets access the same cashu/fedimint "account"? Meaning can I login on different wallets and access the same "esats" and mints at the same time? Like for example from a web wallet while on desktop and then from the phone while on the go?

My doubt as well, I have this definition in mind but I am not sure this is correct: "Using silent payments is like giving a sort of xpub to the sender so that it can generate a different address each time, but with the advantage that the sender only knows the address he or she generates and not every possible address"?

@npub1az9…m8y8 I really loved your recent podcast episodes where you talked about all the security concerns on normal hardware devices. So I wonder, in your experience with Coldcard and other "low hardware" devices, would you say it is possible to have an ESP32 or similar device (maybe I am just stupid and there already is a coldcard version doing this) that with additional modules (like a camera, a screen and a keyboard) is able to scan a qr code containing an encrypted seed and ask for the passphrase to decrypt it (plus all the other signing stuff)? I am not talking about the 25th word of the seed, but 12 or 24 wordsof a seed that have been encrypted in a file and then converted as a qr code image, so the scan part will have to decrypt it before accessing the seed. The thing I don't like about hardware signing devices is that they assume a seed qr image to be in clear.
Maybe I am just wrong on some level, maybe there is something I am not considering, but I would like to know your opinion on this.

This does not happen if I open the post using the dedicated button to view it "on top of the current screen" (I don't know how to say it better), because then you have a "go back" button taking you to the post right on the feed.

I imagine a netbook (small form factor) like device that runs android (with its full security features, graphene os maybe?!) with the possibility to have a "full linux distro" as an app (something like termux).

@npub14tq…hy62 Hi, I am asking again for a raspiblitz info: is there a proper/standard way to update services that are not present under the Update menu, like RTL or LiT?

@npub14tq…hy62 About Raspiblitz initial setup where you copy the blockchain data from another already synched blitz, can you stop the process and continue it later or even finish it by synching from where it stopped?

This will require self-hosted git servers to be public in order to collaborate.
Otherwise I could see two other different scenarios:
- one in which we have specialized git nostr relays where users will push commits, while private git servers will pull commits from the relays in order to merge and do the usual git stuff (so they don't need to become publicly accessible). Then the same private git server will publish the changes to the relays so that users can see. This is just so that the owner of the particular project also control the data.
- and another one in which those git nostr relays are the actual git servers (which is probably the same as having the git server public and with the nostr login feature, but at least it is better integrated with the nostr ecosystem? I don't know).
In either case, git relays will be usable by paying with Zaps, of course.

Wouldn't a "nostr login" on every git server greatly help towards git decentralization?
