 I just proved another cool concept with #nostr #safebox. 

The idea is that the data is completely portable and can migrate to other relays. If the relay I am using becomes unreliable or hostile, I can simply replicate/migrate the data (the proofs and related data) to other relays and continue on from there. I just proved this with my latest code. 

So now #safebox is acting like an organism - if the environment becomes hostile, it can pick up its data and continue elsewhere. Same with the code - it doesn’t actually matter where the code is being executed, so long as it has access to the nsec to access the data.

The implications here are pretty wild: an instance of a ‘wallet’ or ‘safebox’, as like to call it, does not need to  e contained within a specific app/device, nor constrained to a specific relay - it can ‘move around’ using friendly code and relays - all that is needed is the nsec.

I honestly don’t know where else this is possible, except for #nostr.


Just wild. This is #unstoppable. https://image.nostr.build/9d06ba115167fd10e56f5b8f2c3a675e0b11bc39082ac1906905f3d8e3297880.jpg

 Honestly, this is just freaking wild. I just proved that an ecash wallet on #nostr can exist independently from an app/device/relay and move around at will.

 Necessary tool 🧰 ⚡️ 
 Are you describing something like https://nostrsync.live/ or is this "organism" designed differently?  
 I think similar ideas. I have to look into this.  
 How does it work? 
 Are we so far from rgb and the client side validation with a kind of personal Merkel tree? 
 Yes, this is basically my ”node as a Hotel” idea I had a few years ago (#treebit)… next step is to make crowd based sorting and propagation (#peercuration) and then we’ve got decentralized relays, which enables easy to onboard new users.
