I agree with this on cash deposits but I don't understand how you would run a real credit system with anonymous transactions and accounts.
How would you measure credit risk? How are charge-backs supposed to work?
There are reasons that credit card holders would prefer transparency and buyer protection over privacy.

I'm not sure how you would derive an ECDH shared secret in a collaborative way, so encryption/decryption may be a challenge. It should be possible though.

Dealing with the xonly pub keys 🫠

2024-05-07 23:34:27

I went through an ordeal where I thought I lost my phone (but later found it).
I realized that there is no way to revoke my nsec from my phone if I lose it.
I am now convinced now that a multi-key setup with remote signer will be the future of self-custody. You cannot protect your identity without one.
But how do you coordinate key delegation around a single identity? Nostr tried key delegation and failed. Protocols like DIDs have not taken off.
Enter FROST.
FROST has a protocol for updating the shares of a secret, without changing the original secret.
If your nsec was a FROST key with multiple shares, you could use these shares for signing, and you could remove/replace compromised shares without changing your main identity.
You could even rotate keys regularly without changing your nsec. No need for delegation or resolving DIDs. This is the power of FROST.
Who wants to make a remote signer based on FROST?

2024-05-07 23:16:15

I have mastered FROST with taproot.

In a few days, I'll be making the case that the nostr relay network is a distributed consensus system for the delivery and receipt of cryptographic messages.
I believe this consensus system may be far more valuable than the social-media use case.
It solves a few important problems in cryptography protocols, and is far more efficient than publishing data to the blockchain.

I may have found a use case for the abandoned "subject" field that nostr notes had with NIP-13.
It would be great if there was a standard "content id" with every note, so that you could reference notes by their content, rather than an absolute id.
The content id would be a sha256 hash of the content field and pubkey.
What this would enable is replaceable tags for notes. Imagine you could in-place update the tags on a note, similar to a replaceable event.
This would open up so many possibilities:
- Easily delete a note by adding a delete tag.
- Easily update a note by adding a ref tag to the new note.
- Update a note's metadata based on the comments. This may be good for special protocols (like zap giveaways).
This could also help relays with storage, as they could choose to discard notes with older metadata.
I would mainly want this for a simpler way to delete messages, as the current NIP-09 solution is a terrible burden on clients and not well respected by relays.
What other cool things could you, if you could change tags on a note while also preserving the reference id?

2024-03-01 06:38:01

My primal experience on mobile has not been great.
The app is failing to load new posts or let me sign in. It seems like the app is hanging on connecting to a server somewhere, this is before connecting to a relay.
I gave up on the app and tried using a PWA. Primal web doesn't seem to render properly, and the profile button is unclickable so I can't login.
Also I really don't like how it leaks a bunch of metadeta about my DMs in cleartext. That is really not great.
The sonar loading animation looks really cool though.

I was working on something similar for a hackathon project (though we avoided using arbitrary inscriptions to claim names).
You need to add a DNS server to your network settings that tells your computer where to resolve the custom domain (in this case .sats).
There's nothing stopping you from claiming names yourself, however the question is how the DNS server (hosting the .sats domain) will determine the ownership.

Fun fact. Nostr and Taproot both use Schnorr for producing signatures. This means that technically you can sign taproot transactions *and* nostr events with the same pair of keys
The difficulty however, is that taproot transactions use key tweaking, meaning a taproot UTXO on the blockchain is showing you a tweaked pubkey, not the original pubkey.
Even a script-less taproot transaction uses a tweaked pubkey, making cross-verification difficult. Also, Bitcoin Core is not very friendly towards exporting child keys and revealing tweaks.
This script takes the original pubkey and recreates the tweak in order to verify that a taproot pubkey and nostr pubkey are in fact the same key.
The next step is to build a signing extension, so a nostr user can prove they own a particular UTXO (and whatever may be inside of it 😎).
Would you like to know more?
