I haven’t tried it yet, but I recently built a react native version of nostr sync backup app and will test it with that today. Thanks for letting me know.
As for the web, do you think we could create one using IndexedDB? It works offline, locally, low level access and it's NoSQL. I can give it a try. Let me know if this makes any sense!

NostrDB is probably one of the most important projects on Nostr.
If we can make it easily portable for Android, web apps, and PC, it will truly provide developers with a way to offer a more reliable and smooth experience.
IMO, we should do everything we can to make this possible.

when it comes to primal, i don’t personally have an issue with their approach as long as they remain transparent, which they are.
they’ve even open-sourced their caching server. as long as they never take my keys to the server, i’m okay with it.
i believe they’re genuinely trying to deliver the best possible user experience, and i respect that. i sincerely hope they succeed along with other clients.
also, no, it’s not a silo, it’s a river & we've a ocean ahead!

Nostr, BlueSky, and Twitter takeover all kicked off around the same time, promising free speech.
But here's where we stand:
BlueSky? A censorship disaster-worse than Facebook and Tumblr combined.
X (Twitter)? Musk's "free speech" pledge? It's in total shambles. If you still believe in it, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Only Nostr has stayed true to its mission. It's the last real free speech alternative. If that's what brought you here, congrats-you made the right choice.

mass legal immigration, in its current structure, doesn’t seem sustainable in the long run, it’s essentially a dead end.
for developing nations, it's basically a relentless brain drain. the very individuals crucial to their country’s progress are encouraged to leave for developed nations, where their potential impact is diluted.
developed nations, on the other hand, have their own challenges: disadvantaged groups, minorities, and whole younger generations who deserve greater focus, a better standard of living. everything shouldn’t revolve around some imaginary race for acceleration.
i genuinely hope skilled professionals in underdeveloped countries choose to stay and contribute to their nation’s development.
with today’s technology, sharing knowledge and expertise globally is easier than ever. you can stay in your home country, build it & still make a worldwide impact.

We need a client tier list based on the privacy features they offer.
So far, 0xChat has made DMs much more private on Nostr. More people should start using it; in fact, we should be glad to have an app like this on our protocol.
Amethyst lets you generate your account with Tor, keep it Tor-only, and even remembers that setting when you switch to another account. That speaks for itself.
Gossip and Coracle are also doing very interesting work for privacy.
Privacy is the most powerful feature any social media can offer, and today, free speech is impossible without anonymity.

2024-11-15 07:41:19 GMT

The interesting part about this problem is that Nostr, as a protocol, is in one of the best positions to offer the most private experience possible.
And these aren’t just buzzwords. With just one click, you could enable a completely anonymous mode.
For some accounts, you could mark them as Tor-only, ensuring they work only when Tor is enabled.
No protocol changes are needed, these issues can be addressed entirely by clients.
Privacy is the best feature any client can offer.

I expose more data when signing up for Twitter, but it’s only accessed under extreme conditions, like if the government requests it, which is really concerning.
I recently saw several doxxing campaigns on Twitter, and having random people access to your approximate location is, imo, very dangerous.
On Nostr, I think we can do much better, especially with its permissionless nature. Clients could offer an optional completely anonymous mode.
I also want to mention my deep respect for many clients, especially what Amethyst is doing with its Tor integration, & others.

On Nostr, we take privacy too much for granted.
The moment you open a client like a regular user (without a VPN or Tor), you’re exposing more personal data than on almost any other social protocol or platform.
Even if you’re extremely careful, it only takes one slip, one instance of not using a VPN, to become completely exposed and doxxed.
I’m not suggesting changes to the protocol, in fact, I believe clients can play a crucial role here. But we need to start talking about this.

Tested various other approaches for this lightning-to-Monero payment bridge & shortlisted two for the project: one for the initial release and another for the long term.
1. Fixedfloat: This is the simplest option to implement, with direct support for BTC-LN/XMR pairs, decent swap speeds, and a user experience that aligns well with expectations.
Con: It relies on the Fixedfloat DEX API. While this is a decentralized exchange, this API reliance still introduces a single point of failure.
2. Atomic Swap: This enables a truly decentralized swap between Bitcoin and Monero, functioning in a peer-to-peer manner without any intermediaries or third-party APIs.
Unlike Fixedfloat, however, it’s more complex, requiring a solid understanding and running nodes for both the Lightning network and Monero blockchain. But once set up, Atomic Swap becomes a far superior option.
I already have a working version of the Fixedfloat implementation, so I'll release an initial version soon for testing.
Atomic Swap is my real focus it will take some time to learn and implement, but it’s the solution I want in the long run, and I plan for it to eventually replace Fixedfloat entirely.

Currently, it uses serverless functions for payment verification, swapping, and redirection. This is the first implementation; the final version will be significantly different.
Then we can simply turn these serverless functions into self-hostable serverless relays, thus reducing trust. I will try to post an initial version tomorrow; it's still in very early stages.

Lightning to Monero Payment Bridge
Seamlessly transfer funds from your Lightning wallet to a Monero wallet.
Simply enter the recipient’s Monero address. A Lightning invoice will be generated.
Once paid, the received sats will be automatically converted and sent to the recipient’s Monero wallet.
Thoughts?

On Nostr, privacy doesn't have to be forced at the protocol level, in fact, that might not even be the right approach.
Its flexible nature gives clients unprecedented freedom to craft custom experiences, and its permissionless nature makes it ideal for privacy-oriented apps.
We need more creative, objective-based, and problem-specific solutions.

Is there any Nostr client with Monero as a zap option?
I can think of a privacy-oriented Nostr client that generates a new account for each post to ensure complete anonymity, with simple POW, maybe Tor-only, and Monero as the zap option.
It will be a little inconvenient and limited in exchange for greater privacy and anonymity. I think it will be an interesting experiment.

Just out of curiosity, I think it would be interesting to build a transaction bridge between Lightning and Monero.
Maybe something like: you enter the Monero address you want to pay with your Lightning wallet, it generates a Lightning invoice, and once settled, seamlessly converts those sats to Monero and sends them to the recipient's wallet, vice-versa
Not sure if there’s a real-world use case for it, but it could be an interesting experiment.

2024-11-08 17:40:17 GMT

Outside of Bitcoin, Monero is the only crypto coin I have a real soft spot for. I don't want it to fail—they’re at least trying to solve a genuine problem.
I also think Bitcoin and Monero can coexist well. Each serves a distinct purpose: Bitcoin as an ultra-sound store of value, and Monero for quick, private transactions.
Also, if you don’t mind, feel free to share your biggest criticisms of Monero. I’d love to hear them.

Just a heads up: zPay will no longer be a closed app.
After the next update, it'll adopt an open protocol and include self-hostable lightweight relays for a distributed, decentralized network.
#nevent1q…96vy

2024-11-07 20:54:06 GMT

##### Why is zPay v4v & Other Related Features Taking So Long?
https://video.nostr.build/2e5962aab1a5fc89bd4553c6f39badfdfff730c594fdcd189016d1b463feb486.mp4
It’s not just because I’m lazy—though I am. 😂 But because I want this to be truly open, permissionless, decentralized, and distributed. Not just another closed app, but an open protocol.
##### Why Not Just Use the Nostr Protocol and Its Relays?
While Nostr was a good option, zPay’s no-database, serverless architecture opened up the potential for something new and purpose-built.
---
##### Introducing zPay Serverless Relay (Under Development)
Instead of a conventional backend, I’m turning the zPay “backend” into a ridiculously lightweight serverless relay.
###### I know “self-host” might sound a bit intimidating, but hear me out.
Don’t compare “zPay Serverless Relay” self-hosting with Nostr relay hosting, or even with setups like LNbits or BTCPay Server. It’s not even close, or fair.
- Ridiculously lightweight & fast
- Free & one-click serverless self-hosting
- Built-in auto-scaling with a robust rate-limiter
---
###### Putting It in Perspective:
Even if your self-hosted zPay serverless relay serves tens of thousands of daily users, executing over 10 million transactions per month, you likely wouldn’t pay a penny (bonus: up to 50M+ transactions/month with AWS Lambda).
---
##### Replacing the Database with the URL
Instead of a centralized database, all necessary parameters are packed directly into the original URL and QR code. This includes:
- Encrypted content (`cn`)
- Creator’s Lightning address (`ln`)
- Optional unlock price (`pr`)
All of these are cryptographically signed.
With these parameters (`cn`, `ln`, and `pr`), the zPay relay initiates payment, verifies it, decrypts, and delivers content after successful verification.
This creates a distributed, tamper-proof system without a database. The only trade-off? Long URLs, but this is easily managed with zPay’s built-in URL shortener proxy. Short URLs simply redirect to the original URL with all parameters visible in the browser.
---
##### zPay Relay Core Features
Beyond paywalled URLs, zPay provides core building blocks to craft nearly any kind of Lightning integration.
###### Core Features Include:
- URL package generation with cryptographic signatures
- URL integrity checks
- Lightning invoice creation
- Real-time payment verification
- Content encryption/decryption
- Auto-delivery after payment
- Custom triggers upon invoice settlement
These core features are fully customizable and adaptable to a wide range of needs—from paying for digital and physical products to content access or even paid AI services. zPay relay is designed to make these integrations easy.
---
##### Summary
Instead of a closed app, zPay will be an open protocol supported by distributed, lightweight relays. It’s fast, lightweight, free, and simple to self-host, with built-in auto-scaling and rate limiting, so you can focus on building new ideas.
The zPay serverless backend becomes a self-hostable relay with features like invoice generation, payment verification, encryption/decryption, and custom triggers on payment settlement.
It operates at nearly zero cost, even for tens of thousands of users or 10M+ transactions per month (up to 50M+ with AWS Lambda). There’s no need for a 24/7 live server—it’s serverless, with built-in auto-scaling to handle spikes and a reasonable rate-limiting system.

In the current version, it gets saved locally and is accessible in the “purchased items” section on the homepage.
The “purchased items” page is the right place to add simple Nostr integration. After login, it enables optional syncing.
The reason I didn’t go with Nostr integration first is that I wanted paywalls to be as login-free as possible, but for syncing, Nostr makes complete sense.
Also, adding Blossom and a long markdown description.

Currently testing a 'Pay-What-You-Want' (PWYW) model for quick, portable fundraising, with content remaining complementary. Just need a good description with .md support.
PWYW might even become the new default 🤔

zPay.live is shifting its focus to the V4V model (Value for Value).
Paywalls will remain an option, but we will prioritize upcoming V4V features.
What to expect:
* CrowdWall: When a target is reached, content unlocks for everyone. (in-progress)
* V4V Paywalls (Flexible price) : Buyers can choose their own price, & creators can set limits if they want. (shipping in few days)
* Blossom built-in storage & multiple file/folder upload option is also coming soon.
Do you have any further suggestions?

You're so quick! I saw your note this morning about adding this feature, and it's already shipped. Congrats man!
I'm also planning to add this to my paywall services. It works great for static website hosting too.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.

No matter who you are, what side of politics you’re on, or how angry you are, always preserve your humanity.
Some people have completely lost it and become worse creatures imaginable.

I agree, I would also add even people from Dharmic religions have also made significant contributions.
I also disagree with this whole notion that religions were entirely anti-science. There were certainly some serious restrictions, but they were quite specific. Innovation overall was always encouraged.

This might be a little controversial, but one could argue that math, in reality, is more powerful than God in mythology.

Once you complete the first one, you should start this one. By the way, don’t rush.
Side note: Pay close attention to linear transformations in the first playlist. Once you understand that, everything else becomes much simpler.

You should maybe start with a resource that covers all the basic fundamental topics like linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, and probability in a very digestible way.
Assuming you already have some previous mathematical knowledge, this playlist might be a perfect fit for you.

One tip really helped me revisit math and made it less painful and easier to understand.
Context: I absolutely hated math. I opted out of it in the 10th grade and didn’t look at it for two years. No one on Earth could have convinced me to practice math every day.
But then I started my computer science studies, which forced me to learn math (probably the best thing that happened). More interestingly, studying math specifically around CS topics I was already familiar with made the initial learning process much less painful. In fact, I enjoyed it from day one.
This might be the key: instead of diving into raw math directly, especially when getting started, try approaching it through a field or concept you’re already interested in. Learn the math behind concepts you already understand. If you know the theory, try explaining or proving it with mathematical equations.
The first partial differential equation I solved on my own was Einstein’s field equation for a solar system model I was working on. I didn’t end up using it, post-Newtonian physics was enough but looking back, I’m pretty sure I’d never have solved it if I hadn’t enjoyed it.
So, in simple words: find a scientific or engineering concept with strong mathematical foundations, and practice with that.
This worked for me, but everyone is different. Just putting it out there—someone might find it helpful.

I'm currently 24, and if I had the option to go back in time and give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be to spend more time on Math. Why?
Math is one of the most powerful subjects you can learn today; it governs almost everything fascinating you can think of.
It’s the foundational language of all engineering and scientific fields, and maybe even for the universe, at least from our perspective.
Even if you’re in a completely unrelated or non-technical field, learning and practicing math will still make you generally smarter.
Regular practice in math physically changes your brain, enhancing its plasticity and strengthening the neural circuits responsible for problem-solving.
Don’t just take my word for it, give it an honest try.
After just one month of consistent practice, you’ll feel noticeable improvements in your brain's ability to process complex information, recognize advanced patterns, and unique problem-solving mindset.
Finally, if you’re not a so-called “math person” (a notion I completely disagree with), it doesn’t matter. Practice it like an exercise for your brain. Even if you don’t become a great mathematician, you’ll be sharper and smarter than before. You have nothing to lose.

Brainstorming!
Objectives: Reduce dependency on traditional domains across my Nostr web app.
Why: Traditional domains are centralized and controlled by governments. Not ideal for freedom tools/apps.
Idea: Create a lightweight static website called "NostrHub," which will serve as a quick-access hub to all my other Nostr web apps.
Plan:
1. First Step: Host the lightweight NostrHub website on Nostr relays and IPFS, making it accessible through TOR, IPFS gateways, Freenet, and other decentralized storage or P2P access options.
2. Second Step (my favorite, though a bit unorthodox): Convert the NostrHub website/code into an offline bundle that can be shared as a zip file. When unzipped and clicked, this bundle will open the NostrHub page in your browser, running locally without relying on domains or web hosting—essentially self-hosted.
The offline website bundle also addresses a more fundamental issue with the web ecosystem. Unlike traditional websites, offline bundled sites can’t be unilaterally changed or modified by the developer, making them trustless and truly giving users full control over the website, its code, and any updates.
This approach will eliminate the single point of failure posed by centralized domains, make all apps easily accessible, and provide users with a more private way to access them.
This is a rough outline. Suggestions for improvements are welcome!

Web-based 'Freedom Tools' can't rely on centralized, government-controlled domain registrars.
Domains not only serve as a single point of failure but also open up significant attack vectors, especially if the state is involved.
I want to take this opportunity to create a solution that mitigates this issue. This will be my new project, I will share more details soon.

It seems the domain registrar I used got banned in my home country. I didn't realize this as I was abroad, and everything appeared normal.
However, my payment processor was based in my home country, which blocked the auto-renewed transaction.
Consequently, I lost my domains, and now they're being resold for a 50x markup.
Please recommend a reliable domain registrar that accepts Bitcoin and isn't susceptible to government censorship.

Hey Calle, I need some suggestions. If you don't mind!
What would be the best approach for accepting a specified amount of Cashu tokens, getting confirmation, and transferring that amount to a Lightning wallet, specifically Alby wallets?
I’d prefer not to store tokens, but rather act as a real-time proxy to the Lightning address with confirmation.
