I'm exploring to use nostr in Robisats, not as primary DB, but as a cache system of a decentralized network such as thefederation, right now a client has to directly connect (using Tor) to every single coordinator book to fetch its specific orders.
Centralizing this system would create a single point of failure, so I'm exploring a federation cache network, where the full book is additionally stored and maintained by all coordinators, allowing users to initially connect just to 2-3 coordinators. any feedback is welcome 🙂

Would be a shame if some people work together to have a decentralized book of p2p exchanges for a p2p decentralized cash available in an uncensorable decentralized database, right?

Ey @npub1xnf…lpr5 as promised, here is a first POC for the new Tor engine library 😄 https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/pull/2268

2024-06-25 01:00:42

- reply

Super happy to help! The compatibility of this library with iOS is still in development and closed to beta, but as I said, it already goes really smoth for Android.
I was thinking on doing something similar to what I did for Bluewallet (https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/pull/6665) and try to create an Android POC so you can take a look

2024-06-23 22:04:30

- reply

Indeed.
I know @npub1xnf…lpr5 did a great job with the Tor library they are using, but it was the same used by #Robosats and #Bluwallet, and I'm aware of some connection problems this library has.
We have been testing with extremely great results an alternathve in #Robosats for the past 3 months for Android and we are workig on making it work for iOS to include it on #Bluwallet.
It was part of my master plan to knock at @npub1xnf…lpr5 door after that 😁 if you are curious right now, I can start sharing great stuff with you!

2024-06-13 21:31:50

I tried to create the Apple ID on a random public IP in another country. No luck, I'm not sure if they require the IP and the phone to be in the same country.
Someone was so kind to gift me a 1 year code for iVPN, so that's my last card.
All this situation is f*king crazy.

2024-06-09 22:21:59

My adventure with the Apple ID is having more repercussion than the one I was expecting 😄 Just to share a summary of the situation:
- You can actually develop for iOS with no Apple ID, the problem comes with OSx.
- I don't want to publish to the Store, this is a collaboration with bluewallet
- I think the phone number is not the problem anymore
- My bet os that I'm being blocked because of VPN/Tor ips
- A user told kindly told me he was allowed to bypass it with iVPN
- I'll be in other part of the world soon, if iVPN doesn't work, I'll try ti out on a Starbucks or something
All of this made me realize even developing software can be banned at some point. Go out there, keep your rights, build #FOSS, read books, get #Bitcoin . Maybe one day you'll need to do any of this and it will be too late.

2024-06-08 14:52:05

Yep a phone number is required, you can't move forward, plus they have Tor and VPN IPs banned 😕

Anybody can guide me on how to get an non-KYC Apple ID? I tried with sms4sats and similar with no success, it's crazy that you need KYC to develop software

2024-06-08 01:07:09

- reply

So far they ask to the user to use Orbot. I'm implementing and testing this one for them https://github.com/05nelsonm/kmp-tor/tree/master
It's the same I implemented for Robosats and it works terribly good, at least in Android, you can download the latest version and check it out.
BUT I didn't test websockets (yet it provides the feature)

2024-06-08 00:10:51

- reply

It was there, but it was slow and giving a bunch of issues, so they removed it

2024-06-08 00:04:27

The Tor engine for BlueWallet works and performs as good as in Robosats, but still has to be tested in iOS/OSx to be acceptable, plus I have to heavy test a connection to electrs. In short, lots of work to do but it looks promising 🚀

Actually, in the Satstralia coordinator we move up to 5M sats with no issues but, for sure, in order to receive it in LN you want to have a good inbound liquidity

Great progress integrating Coordinator ratings in Robosats over nostr 🙂 I think soon we'll have something to test

Subscribo todo. Simplificando un poco, como lo veo yo:
1. Mintter es una base de datos perdurable y altamente modificable, mientras que Nostr en una base de datos efímera y inmutable.
2. Mintter es una red cerrada que se expande a través de contactos directos y Nostr es una red abierta que se expande a lo máximo que pueda alcanzar.
Mintter son los edificios y las fabricas y Nostr son las calles y carreteras 😁
Creo que la idea original que tenia Gabo de generar comentarios nostr en artículos Mintter era una maravilla. Cosas así es lo que me refiero que sería un boost para ambos.

2024-03-25 22:27:04

It's really cool, you can say it's the opposite to nostr in so many aspects that they are the perfect match to each other 😀
There was a plan to put together these 2 technologies, my initial patch was just a first POC, but the devs were really reticent to move people out of Mintter to Nostr so it cooled down.
I hope at some point they become more open because I really believe it will be a huge push for both.

Anyone can become a coordinator 😁 So far we are experimenting with 2 levels of "trust"
1. PoW: actually have up and running the entire coordinator ecosystem, not easy, not hard. But requires knowledge and (sometines) perseverance
2. Time running: initially new coordinators are not allowed to create orders of any size, but it's limited to certain max quantity of sats which, doubles every 2 weeks since the coordinator joined (based on the block high 😁) you need to have a coordinator working for 6 months to be able to create orders of any size.

So far Robosats was a centralized server with a single LND node. The federation layer allows anyone to run this same software and be part of the federation as a coordinator, where an user can enter and see all offers created in every single coordinator in the same page.

Fair point, what about both the robot and federation creates 1986 events, and the federation one is like a check mark, you either trust one, the other or both.
Another option would be to have some sort of "seal of approval" 🤔 the user rates and the federation just validates, literally would be like a NIP-25 reaction from the federation.

3. The federation receives a % of the profits from the federation to dev-fund node for development. I was thinking to use it as way to ensure the order is legit and avoid (with some limitations) the creation of fake ratings.
