Calling for open-source contributors to help implement LNURL-pay in eNuts!

eNuts is an incredibly well-made Cashu ecash wallet but it still lacks LNURL-pay support. It should be fairly easy to add this – if you're a JavaScript dev and Bitcoiner looking to get your hands dirty, check out eNuts:

Yep, just refrain from using the word "hold" or "own" or "possess" when we're talking about 3rd party custody in the lightning network.  Language is already way too weaponized, we shouldn't use the same tactics.


Yep.  The signing device just stores a private key.  The PK can be used in whatever setup you choose.  Signing won't destroy a seed.

You can destroy a seed and import a new one, over and over, with as many seeds as you want, to sign whatever transactions you want.  All the device does is store a seed, amd sign transactions with it.

It took far longer for literacy and eventual change to happen, than it did to implement the press (under attack from the church) and disseminate bibles.  We're only 15 years into bitcoin.

For more recent perspective, the internet was around for 20 years before the first web browser.  The Web was around for another 15 years before the first smartphone. We're early.  But bitcoin isn't going anywhere.

Introducing nsec.app and nostr-login!

I've shown the prototype of https://nsec.app in December, and it's essentially an nsecbunker in your browser. It is non-custodial - your keys are stored locally in the browser, and apps can get access to your keys using NIP46. We've now turned that prototype into a real thing, and I invite you to try it. Shoutout to nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q for the designs!

Now how do we help Nostr apps adopt NIP46 for remote key access?

That's where nostr-login library comes in. If your app uses NIP07 to talk to a browser extension, then with just two lines of code you can make it talk over NIP46.

Both of these tools support the new OAuth-like flow proposed by Pablo. Below you can watch a demo of how nostr-login (added to my fork of Snort) works with Nsec.app (or would work with any other nsecbunker).

What this all means is that people could join Nostr on the web, without installing extensions or mobile apps, with their keys stored non-custodially in the Nsec.app, and then could log in to other Nostr apps without copying their private keys.

Some people love god so much, and are so dependent on his constant presence, that in his direct absence, they defer to filling that role in their lives with humans, like "the State"

It's definitely a power user feature, and it's a bit more complicated depending on what you're installing, it might need more external configuration for it to work beyond the rpc credentials.

But... Power users are a powerful target audience who may be more inclined to contribute back, if they're enabled to use these products more easily.


Design wise, they lack a feature that keeps me from using those products vs doing things myself... The ability to link services to external dependencies.  Example, I install a Start9, and go to install a lightning node, but it needs to install Bitcoin core, even though I have 2 core nodes already running on my network, and don't need a 3rd one.


Retiring early shouldn't really be the goal.  There's value in work, and it's not really work if you love it, even if ither people want to pay you for it.

But you're right.  Having the freedom to choose how you spend your time as you get older is the goal.  Saving is the only way to take control of that choice. Anything else carries risk, and that risk is unacceptably high today.

My official advice as of this date 22 Dec 2023 is to BOTH run your own node, AND manage at least one domain name and DNS.  Know how to keep them separate.  But neither is all that difficult to get running.

Oh I agree

LNBits has a few extensions that require a domain (subdomain leases, ln address too I think) and their instructions on the pane at the right side of the app are really good for getting it setup. Simple and to the point.

Besides, when you do it and add a service, adding more domain-enabled services is aasy.  Email, file storage, anything umbrel can host (that's appropriate to put onto public dns!)... Can be given a dns name. Nostr verification and other things that use .well-known routes are enabled.

Domains are an excellent tool to have for next gen web protocols as they grow, and they are easier to learn than Microsoft Excel, if we're being honest.


Unless you have your own domain, you'll have to trust someone else to provide an LN address.


I think they're underrated by most companies, but ultimately not that impressive.

Afaik, yes.


Coins vs. a debit card.  But that's a hard one because it's the opposite trust model with sats and eCash.  Debit cards are trusted, coins are trustless.  But here, LN is trustless, eCash coins are trusted.

It could help invert their thinking though.  A lot of the Bitcoin learning journey requires not simply rejecting current dogmas, but fully embracing their complete antitheses.

Socialism is simply the rejection of the right to personal capital accumulation, the right to the fruits of your labor.  What else do people think it means?  They've probably been misconditioned, or are poorly literate.  Words do have many meanings, but only after folks start trying to change their original meaning. Think, American "democracy.". America does not have a democracy, it has a consensus structure.  Yet American politicians sell the idea of "US democracy" like it's worth fighting to defend.  Democracy is worse than consensus! But we changed the meaning of democracy anyway to support wars, stoke divides, etc.

I think Democracy is a process (or rather lack of a process) of truth seeking.  Trust is worse.  Consensus is better.  Science is best.

Politics is kind of orthogonal, and doesn't apply to Trust or Science, which are individual styles of truth seeking vs democracy and consensus which are group styles of truth seeking.

If you get detained or worse, the BTC is cut off.  If you do the multisig, your trusted partner can still access the funds, either as an heir, or to support any issues you might run into. In general, I don't like recommending people go at it alone when large amounts or high stakes are involved.


If you have a trusted person back home who you can communicate with from your destination, multisig is how to travel!

2 of 2 wallet, with a 1 of 2 time lock.  You bring a key, they keep a key.  You arrive, coordinate the PSBTs, and spend the keys out to your own wallet to go from there.

If your key is compromised, you'll need to wait for the timelock, and then have your trusted person send them unilaterally to your new wallet, and go from there.

"Trusted" is the super duper important keyword here. You need to trust the person you enlist to work through it with you. They'll know your balance, and technically they can steal your coins.

I am getting close to giving a more detailed assessment on Israel/Hamas, as it drags on.

And it will probably be Nostr-only since other platforms can’t handle it. It is too polarized. Everyone is tunnel-visioned.

My husband is currently in Cairo dealing with some property work we are doing for our extended family. They are only 250 miles from the problem, and Egypt’s acute currency crisis brings it closer to home if military or refugee shit hits the fan. Most of my extended family is geopolitically or financially close to the Israel/Gaza issue and is Muslim. I am thus both close and far from the issue. And I grew up in the US in a diverse region with Jewish and Muslim peers, but more-so Jewish overall.

Suffice to say, I don’t want civilians on either side to suffer or die. I am pro-humanity first and foremost.

Before I give my eventual analysis, I am happy to see Nostr comments on the issue. What are your thoughts and questions on the topic? What would you like to see addressed from a diverse or as non-biased source as possible?


I would try to detach the religious aspects of the conflict (99% of what we perceive going in here, and of which we're all acutely aware) from the economic history of Jewish and Muslim people and their beliefs.

I am of the opinion that for centuries, the interpretations of economic principles from the Bible and the Quran are what led to the real world tensions between Jewish and Muslim populations, particularly around the concept of usury. In the 20th century, whether it was Jewish people or not, our entire global economy is now solely BACKED by credit.  Since we live in a society today based on widespread and deliberate financial illiteracy, we point to "religion" as the cause, and while that's technically true, I don't believe it's the complete picture.

I'd also like to hear accounts from clear headed, logical, humanity-driven Palestinian and Israeli people. It is too easy to give hateful single-minded people a platform in this environment, but those accounts help bridge the "fog of war" gap a lot of westerners have to grapple with.  The only Palestinian woman I was able to speak to expressed her hatred for Israel, but moreso her fear and hatred for Hamas.  She ended by saying she'd forgive Israel for a lot, if Hamas is able to be stopped.

Glad you're willing to speak up.  You command a lot of trust and respect, for good reason.  You have a closer perspective to this conflict than most.  Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

I read the Bitcoin white paper as a recent college grad around 2011 and immediately was drawn to it's elegance and it's concise but clear nature.

It wasn't until 2013 when the Greek banks gave their depositors a haircut to bail themselves out that I truly understood the value of bitcoins unconfiscatable properties, and that was the lightbulb moment!

It wasn't until fall 2019 that I really truly understood how Bitcoin will fit into the emerging geopolitical landscape. I had just reached the end of studying the fiat system, and when it broke, the gears started turning in my head.  Couple months later, no one is allowed to go to work.

It takes many years to really truly grok everything that Bitcoin is and can do.  #StudyBitcoin is the absolute correct message we need to be sending folks, and particularly kids who still have plasticity in their brains and aren't distracted by dogmas and propaganda of yesterday.

Happy Conception Day, Bitcoin!  ❤

Ok so...

I've got a conspiracy theory prepper friend who for a decade refuses to take any action regarding Bitcoin (and trust me I've tried...hard. We're old & close friends beyond all this stuff, so the gloves have come off more than once 😁).

She spends most of her time absorbing doom porn conspiracy theory engagement farming content, she hates politicians and lizard people and inflation too..
but refuses to take that extra step towards "maybe it's the money..."

So fam, what are some content sources (she likes YT channels mainly, but I could maybe sell her on audio pods, maybe fountain one day 😏) that aren't Bitcoin themed per se, but that do talk about the topic in the context of other doom porny topics?

I'm thinking something like RHR/TFTC, which do a pretty good job IMO of calling out the bad forces around us in the context of Bitcoin.. but I think she'd be more warm at first to something more inverted.  Call out Bitcoin in the context of the bad forces.

This might just be me trying to hard with this one... 🤷♂

Avoiding posting on Twitter at the moment. I’m just watching there. There’s enough overnight-expert Middle East hot takes and emotions are running high. The violence and scenes are terrible, and my heart goes out to all victims involved and those who will be caught up in it going forward.

I’ll instead post a few things in my lane here as it relates to global finance and todays actions relating to things I’ve already been covering but that now obviously have updates. Helps me get my thoughts together for what will eventually be my next client report.

-Actions like this show the difficulty of multinational currency agreements. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been having more peaceful relations lately as China brought them together (“enemy of my enemy is my pragmatic financial friend”, and so forth). They are both set to join BRICS+ in January 2024.

-But, Saudi Arabia has also been working with the US and Israel on normalizing relations with Israel, in exchange for US arms deals and such. Saudi Arabia was also making promises to raise oil output to alleviate oil prices if they grow too quickly, which the US wants.

-So this attack (w/ Iranian involvement and public support) puts Saudi Arabia in a weird place. Lots of division and competing goals within BRICS+. Has all sorts of implications for Saudi/Israeli relations, Saudi/US relations, and what happens in the coming weeks will affect how those go.

-Egypt and Ethiopia are also joining BRICS+ in January 2024 and they have had a multi year ongoing feud regarding the Grand Renaissance dam on the Nile.

-China and India are well known as not being on good terms. Border disputes and all that.

-Building trade and currency and military agreements between so many different cultures is a bigger challenge than doing so between US and West Europe.


Little things you don't realize when you're doing an IBD on a weaker pi than Satoshi's v0.1 dev laptop.  These laptops are about the same cost as a pi based node, but leaves ahead in reliability, performance, usability, basically every metric!


Wow #amethyst is a lot smoother with the last update!  Great work nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z!!

(Still a little bit jerky when scrolling on Pixel 5a, but much better than yesterday 🙂)


Lyns sense of humor:  When life gives you dogshit, make cat food with it. 😏


All true! Best to just remember the important fact. The Nuremberg code loophole (if "everyone" does it, the code is nullified and no justice is sought) has been successfully played, it can't be unplayed, and it will almost certainly be played again, if the players own self proclaimed intentions are to be believed.

Used to listen to taproot a lot.  It's funny how carrots are the absolute last thing I associate with the word taproot!

NixOS beats the pants off of Arch, Gentoo, etc. rolling release, source built distros.

Completely flexible and reproducible.


Slow down & breathe then.  Hyperbitcoinization isn't happening today.

Like fiat dollars, keep some 1s, some 5s, a few 10s and 20s, maybe a couple 50s, and a 100.  I used to say, "carry some quarters too," but those days are past. 😉


I don't think this is a safe assumption.  No reason fees couldn't be higher in BTC terms with higher adoption reaching hyperbitcoinization.


It honestly feels like, after 30+ years, we finally have a working Web of Trust.  Many people called PGP dead precisely because there was a real world bottleneck in establishing trust chains.

Enter Bitcoin, and finally there's an economic incentive to get it right.

Enter Nostr, and finally there's an open, global, EASILY ACCESSIBLE network to build it out.

I think it's more incentive than obsession.  Cheap food is cheap, even if borderline toxic.

I am not a political progressive.

I am not a radical progressive.

I have a low time preference, I'm future oriented.  But I always look back where many would say never look back.  The past is real; the future is not (yet!)

I am a literal progressive, who literally wants to conserve humanity's strengths.

I'm a progressive-conservative.  And I'm totally fine with it.

That's generous, fiat & low time preference destroys fine art, and I think we killed low time preference during the industrial revolution.  When I think of fine art, I think Enlightenment Era art.  DaVinci level.


OTOH Matt nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx seems to be doing fine here on nostr 🤷♂


Very cool!


If you mentally decouple bitcoin from "money" and instead think of it like "truth"... Then inscriptions don't really seem that bad, I'd even say they're a good thing, an indelible lesson on this immutable historical record.


Climate catastrophe!  Ban the volcanoes!

Insanely grateful for everyone building out the nostr ecosystem. This protocol will change the world for the better.


I took a stab at enabling "domain features" to mynode...didn't quite get it to where I wanted it, and just hard coded well knowns 😅

Satdress is good. Honestly the first node that adds domain features in a non clunky way will get my 👍


2.  Public school with an ethical career

You'll sleep better at night, and the fact you're even asking this puts you and your children far ahead of others in remaining skeptical throughout public school.

Just don't ever delegate PS teachers to teach critical thinking... That's 100% on you all the time
