Yup, passwords often have expectation that they can be reset.
Explaining cryptography isn't needed though to explain that 12 - 24 words should be kept secret and secure.

Not sure, however in this case I think it had to do with the 1871 book Grundsätze der Volkswirtschaftslehre (Principles of Economics) by Carl Menger.

Indeed, especially with websockets. It usually adds some latency based on the poll frequency, or just a bunch of repeat requests.
I've read in some NWC code, I believe, some form of notifications on the subscription to the relay, but haven't read more into it yet. It may have been in the @npub1get…0nfm implementation or a fork of satdress. NIP-47 doesn't mention anything atleast.

2024-06-04 19:52:24

Could be! Most NWC implementations, and zaps, will poll with `lookup_invoice`. Doesn't seem ideal.

strfry is pretty simple to setup.
https://github.com/hoytech/strfry
It is slightly more involved to setup for a private relay that will only allow a set of pubkeys to write to it. However, that's also not too complicated, and I have a simple golang plugin to do that by configuration file (or env).

Integration with a market of relays, similar to the @npub10r8…t2p8 except for digital services and in this case specifically for nostr relays, I think would help here.

2024-05-30 21:06:09

In my opinion a third-party custodial option for an introductory bitcoin wallet is not a great option and lays the foundation to be rugged and unintended poor UX.
It might be faster for adoption in some cases, however without a solid foundation it's not a solid house.

I am at a stable spot for development on satdress, for a bit.
https://github.com/braydonf/satdress
There are a few things to fix and add still, however it does a bulk of what was intended.
Some additional ideas for later:
- Include an optional njump or oracolo interface (or similar) for each configured user page, so it can function as a business or personal website.
- Release distribution to Umbrel, Start9, DigitalOcean and others.
- Test with minimal hardware to see the lower bound requirements.
- Add multiple wallet connections per user.

I think the important role of hormones, chemical messengers, have been overlooked in the last many decades.
The modern fiat environment can throw many haywire. The year-round, widespread, subsidized, availability of carbohydrates is very new. What was a survival advantage to feel a need, via hunger hormones, to eat many of them when available, has lead to health issues instead.
I've found a lot of peace in realizing that.

2024-05-21 19:12:49

Yeah that is for creating a private key for the relay. For the wallet secret, use the hex private key, of a new key. There could be two commands for each, with different output, for clarity.

2024-05-21 17:39:28

I haven't added it yet, however there should be a command with satdress-cli to create that secret for the NWC connection as well as for the server.
Both should be new keys. Both are 32-byte random hex strings (not nsec encoded).

2024-05-19 19:21:06

Replay attacks are important to consider with Nostr Wallet Connect implementations.
The NWC request events are ephemeral, however they can come back at anytime. Keeping track of what NWC request event IDs have been run (and seen) is especially important for payment commands to stop both accidental or malicious attempts at duplicate payments.

I do think that phoenixd, or another with a similar set of features, can be a great low-maintenance wallet for self-custody. This is what I am using. As it's a server, it can be available for payments anytime and provide LN address, zap, NWC and other features. Channels, automatic backup and incoming liquidity is automatically handled (with a fee), thus minimizing maintenance and setup time. Also the hardware requirements are minimal.

Yeah, I believe there needs to be a way to create an invoice with a desciption hash from the phoenixd API for zap requests.

Yup!
The issue is with creating an invoice w/ phoenixd and a description hash, as the description includes a zap request event that exceeds the size of the description tag. So the confirmation event wasn't broadcast as the description hash doesn't match.

It allows us to make peaceful non-aggression the basis of human economic interaction, bringing the productivity of the market system to the monetary realm, reversing the violent high time preference statist fiat detour of the last century. If it can unleash human civilization from the clasp of the state's fiat claws, bitcoin will be remembered as our age's most significant civilizational achievement."
