Primal Web App build 0.104.0 has been released. Here’s what we have for you:

- Bookmarks
- Lightning invoices in feeds & DMs
- Outbox model improvements (more on this in a separate note)

This release supports public bookmarks only, per NIP-51. Therefore keep in mind that your bookmarks will be visible by other nostr users. We are planning to add support for private bookmarks in the future.

Enjoy! 🤙💜


Excited to announce the preview of Lightning Addresses for Mutiny+ users! No more invoice requests needed when paying friends by name directly on Mutiny Wallet.

https://m.primal.net/Hsbf.jpg

Providing Lightning Addresses to a non-custodial wallet can be challenging, as they require a web server and constant online presence. To solve this issue, we've integrated Federated Lightning Addresses!

https://m.primal.net/Hsbg.jpg

Inspired by Kody Low's Hermes project, our new feature uses ecash locked to your pubkey so only you can spend it when back online. Your wallet listens for DMs on nostr and unlocks tokens once received. Keep an eye out for a deeper dive soon!

To sign up: add a Federation, subscribe to Mutiny+, pick a unique Lightning Address name. Feedback appreciated as we stress test and work out kinks!

Thank you for your support in making this feature possible. We'll integrate it into the sign-up flow at a later time, open up randomly generated Lightning Addresses for everyone, and add more flexibility to change federations.

Enjoy your new payment experience on Mutiny Wallet!

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/federated-lightning-addresses-for-mutiny-users/


Idk if people are ready for this, but I believe the world is. First tests of USD Ecash. Backed by BTC.

Everyone can run a mint. Everyone can make a wallet. USD can be spent everywhere BTC is accepted. Open protocols all the way down. No gatekeepers. This is only possible because of the permissionless nature of Bitcoin.

You'll zap USD on Nostr and you'll be happy. It's going to be so insane.

This feels so nice.

Paid for a group of friends to see Monkey Man later today and just told everyone to zap me. No invoices, no sending everyone payment details, no need to be online, just "zap me"

The future is now (or at least tomorrow when we launch LNAddresses)

I'll offer an optimistic take on both of your concerns:

1. I believe that most nostr clients will implement some form of outbox support. All Primal clients certainly will. We are literally a few days from releasing a major update. Once users’ notes are spread out over hundreds (eventually thousands) of relays, client devs will be incentivized to upgrade their clients accordingly. It will take a bit of time, but that’s okay.

2. Nostr being seeded with bitcoiners is a feature, not a bug. To bootstrap a truly decentralized network, we need the initial group of users who understand decentralization and are willing to fight for it. There is no other way imho. The short term price we are paying is that the content is bitcoin-centric, but that’s fine. That will get sorted out over time as the network grows.

IMO, we need to lower our time preference and be more patient. Everything is moving in the right direction.

We don’t need a successor protocol. Nostr is the one we’ve been looking for.


Walking pods are the best. Gotta do this next time nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj!

Release time!

In our biggest update yet, we've completely redesigned the home screen, added a nostr-based profile setup walkthrough, and have finished our initial fedimint integrations by adding a federation discovery & recommendations!

https://m.primal.net/HqfS.jpg

Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!

https://m.primal.net/HqfT.jpg

The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!

https://m.primal.net/HqfV.jpg

To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.

Next up, better fedimint support!

Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.

This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.

https://m.primal.net/HqfW.png

You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.

Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!

Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.

I love the idea of using nostr notes / zaps to incentivize and coordinate real world action. Reminds me of pollofeed https://pollofeed.com

My guess is that most of it will end up being done by swarms of AI robots


Yea these are both great points. Honesty with "others" requires a real choice, for which privacy seems a necessary precondition.

Being honest with oneself is tougher. But that may also require the option of being private until someone is ready to confront "oneself"

Nostr is just a Verifiable World Wide Web.


We got some questions about the gossip/outbox model, so I’ll clarify Primal’s position.

We like the outbox model. We think it will help nostr scale and become more censorship resistant. Primal will roll out support for the outbox model in several steps. We recently upgraded all Primal clients to manage relays per NIP-65. We are currently in the process of upgrading our clients to leave relay hints on all published events to make sure that outbox clients work well with the content published by our clients. Next we will randomize the default list of relays for new users to help spread content out. The final step will be to implement reading content directly from relays, which will be used in conjunction with our caching service.

Imho, the winning approach involves using the outbox model together with caching nodes, giving us the best of both worlds. I described this approach a year ago when we launched the preview of Primal:

https://habla.news/u/miljan@primal.net/Lightning-fast%20UI%20for%20Nostr


sats are the right kind of PoW for most use cases in nostr

spam protection directly via PoW doesn't work when an ASIC and a mobile compete in the same playing field.

sats level the PoW playing field


accurate follower count is a centralized concept


Truth


It's easy to focus on the stuff that's broken, but if you take a step back nostr works incredibly well


The most obvious power of #nostr is the ability to connect your social graph across apps.

Connections on  nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and  nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 create a web of trust for any marketplace.

Q: "What is deemed to be a category?"
A: "Whatever *you*, and your web-of-trust, deem to be a category."

Decentralization includes no top-down decision of what **categories** should or shouldn't exist.

* Further decentralize by allowing users to indicate which relays they want to use for wiki entries.

Nostr already has a gravitational field around it.

It’s insane since it’s so early, but it is already happening.


It's reasonable to expect that every bitcoin wallet will join the Nostr party very soon. 🚀

People might think there’s fierce competition between nostr clients, but that’s not the case. It’s not Primal vs. Damus. It’s Primal AND Damus AND Amethyst AND Snort AND Coracle AND countless others.

Believe me when I say it: Nostr UX is going to get insanely great. We will blow the legacy web out of the water.

One of the coolest emergent properties of a Wikipedia on nostr,like the new Wikifreedia.xyz client, is the fact that people don’t have to agree on what’s the truth and pretend that a neutral point of view is humanly possible.

It’s not “truth by democracy/power/influence”

It’s a savage pursuit of truth at the edges of the network.

It’s the embodiment of “embrace the chaos” https://i.nostr.build/VaPJ.jpg

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.

Demo: https://void.cat/d/JSWwYMTtbWxTDTLpe132Kr.mp4

Links:
Snort+nostr-login: https://snort.nostrapps.org
nsec app: https://github.com/nostrband/noauth
nsec app server: https://github.com/nostrband/noauthd
nostr-login: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-login


On further reflection this is way more than the Venmo comparison.

Because #Nostr is a "supper app", this really becomes a 1000x freedom WeChat

You get twitter, facebook, classifieds, twitch, telegram, etc... all INTEGRATED because of how Nostr works

And now you have payments working right

Bullish.

We've released Mutiny version v0.5.7 which includes two notable changes.

Payjoin v1 support has been added. Huge credit to nostr:npub1yevrvtp3xl42sq06usztudhleq8pdfsugw5frgaqg6lvfdewfx9q6zqrkl over the last few months, for the improvements to the PDK library and getting it included into Mutiny! Thanks to Ben Allen too for testing.

https://m.primal.net/HZMq.png

We're really excited about the privacy gains here and for future improvements such as Payjoin v2. This should allow asynchronous payjoins, making it possible for a mobile user to payjoin with another mobile user.

We've also made some underlying changes to how NWC works in Mutiny. We've switched over all new connections to use our new strfry based relay instead of using the Blastr. This should greatly improve performance and speed, in addition to being able to better support consumer apps.

You may continue using your existing NWC connections, but for better reliability, you can delete existing wallet connections to recreate them on the new relay.

In the coming months, we should have a load of new nostr related features as well. Stay tuned!


Always a treat to jam with nostr:npub1kuy0wwf0tzzqvgfv8zpw0vaupkds3430jhapwrgfjyn7ecnhpe0qj9kdj8! It's a particularly wide ranging edition - my favorite kind of chat 🤙

I'm in! let's coordinate time via email


Ending the year off strong!

Over the last few months, we've been preparing our wallet for Fedimint integrations. Today marks the first release with Fedimint support ready for alpha testing!

https://m.primal.net/HVrM.png

Fedimint is software for managing federated custodian funds. It's similar to the trust model of Liquid but better privacy and without a blockchain involved. It also has first-class support for Lightning.

The way we've gone about the integration is to seamlessly smooth over the edges that exist in self-custodial Lightning. Our hybrid approach will use a configured Federation when needed. Otherwise, it uses self-custodial Lightning if it exists for the user. This helps things like channel reserves, channel minimums, high chain fees to get started, etc.

You may add a Federation alongside your existing wallet or start with one without needing to open channels or pay on-chain costs. We recommend keeping the value low since this is a very early release, and there are some known features that we still need to develop.

https://m.primal.net/HVrN.png

It should feel and act like the same Mutiny Wallet with some caveats around backups for now.

A massive shoutout to the Fedimint team for their recent v0.2 release. It's still early for them and us, so all testing and feedback is welcomed! This does rely on having a federation invite code. We suspect that, over the next few weeks and months, more mainnet federations will pop up. There is not a default one built into the wallet.

We should also have Lightning Address support in a few weeks that works through federations. Kody has already started that work, and it seems promising: https://github.com/Kodylow/hermes

Also, there's beginning work on supporting the Lightning Service Provider Specification, which will eventually allow more plug-and-play support for any LSP to power Mutiny. This will be huge for more advanced node runners as the spec matures. Huge shoutout to John Cantrell for that work.

A lot of core infrastructure has been built into this release. Let us know if there are any problems; it should be identical to previous versions if you do not configure a Fedimint or different LSP.

Expect much more to come soon. Happy new year!


One year ago on Dec 28 I bought the nostr.band domain and decided to focus on Nostr.

It's been an amazing journey! I've met incredible people, assembled a small team and we are building tools and products to help Nostr win.

Thank you everyone who supported our efforts and used Nostr.Band!

We've made lots of updates to our advanced search features recently, and will be making them even better in 2024.

Excited to see what's going to be the next page of Nostr!


Nostr wouldn’t be where it is without Damus. If this project were to get phased out, that would be a massive blow to Nostr.

Speaking strictly from Primal’s perspective, we *need* projects like Damus to be successful. If we are to make a credible argument that Nostr is different from the legacy platforms, users need to have many good choices of clients and services.

One year is a long time in Nostr terms, and I am optimistic that Will and the team will figure this out. But if/when Damus and other projects introduce paid tiers, please consider the bigger picture when deciding whether to sign up. You won’t be making a decision just for yourself. At this early stage your support might help some projects survive, as well as change the trajectory of Nostr itself.

My Nostr predictions for 2024

Today marks one year since I joined Nostr. It’s been a crazy year, but I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be much crazier. Here are some predictions:

1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. By the end of the year we will surpass the legacy social media clients in terms of UX and features, making them look like relics of the past.

2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. By the end of the year Nostr will become a de facto standard public lightning directory.

3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network.

4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. We won’t be ready for them. Relays and other services (indexers, media hosting, etc.) will struggle to support them. After some hiccups, the Nostr ecosystem will adjust.

5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.

6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.

7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.

8. Nostr’s censorship resistance capabilities will get tested in a major public episode.

9. The AI community will get much more interested in Nostr. They will be attracted by the idea that open source language models, combined with Nostr’s open social graph and publicly accessible data - could actually democratize AI.

10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.

11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.

Anyhow, GM ☀ and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻

Pretty excited about this presentation from nostr:npub1cd0l3s6qgj0s6690rtkys39mgj5upwxpm4856nhmce0pyqu6xj9qh7xlvx! Have been thinking about The Bitcoin Stack for a while, and been really excited about nostr being the user/communications layer living on top of the LN layer for payments and the BTC layer for money/settlement for the last year… but this talk crystallizes specifically what use case The Bitcoin Stack is uniquely excellent at: Everyone Payments! Pumped to see prisms progress 🤙

https://habla.news/u/miljan@primal.net/1701806342802


BIG NEWS: Primal for iOS is now live on the App Store.

This release comes with an integrated lightning wallet, ability to zap and get zapped, send & receive lightning payments, and buy small amounts of sats via an in-app purchase. I will talk in detail about our wallet approach soon.

We worked really hard to make the Nostr onboarding experience as smooth as possible, and give new users the ability to send and receive zaps without friction. Please try the app and let us know your thoughts! 💜🤙

📢 Announcing Highlighter 2.0
Release name: "Sig"

Highlighter has gone through so many changes that it's essentially an entirely new nostr client.

The goal remains the same:

👉 A nostr client for your most valuable information. Your reading. Your notes. Your thoughts. A place to discover thoughtful, timeless content.

I have a lot to say about Highlighter, why I'm building it, what it is and where it's going. how it fits in the mainstream adoption of Nostr, and, to a degree, in the normalization of "keys over passwords", data sovereignty and more.

But these ideas are still rough. Very, very rough and demands a lot of filling in. This is still, very much, for the early adopters.

Let's focus on what's in this important release:

✅ Data-vending-machine support: you can now very easily highlight podcasts and video content in a text-native way.
✅ Patreon support: You can now create RECURRING subscriptions to support your favorite creators and shitposters. I will say a lot more about this and a follow up with a NIP to standardize and help other builders disrupt Patreon and bring creators of all kinds to Nostr easier and more compelling.
✅ Zap-splits: Zapping a highlight creates a split on everybody involved in you seeing that content.
✅ Curation: You can now create curations of articles and earn zap splits for your curation efforts.
✅ NIP-32 Labels: categorize highlights and "margin notes" with any category
✅ Full text support: Find what interests you across any topic in any type of event in nostr.

There's a LOT more to this release that I will be discussing in the next few days.

And a lot more to come.

Stay bullshit, my friend

I remember reading a suggestion from nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a a few years ago re taking magnesium supplements for increased energy levels. I’ve been experimenting with taking 200-400mg before bed and omg do I feel refreshed when I wake up! 400 seems ideal for me so far. Does anyone else have experience with taking magnesium? Is there any good research explaining why I feel so much better? Are there any potential downsides?


Nostr starter pack

If you’re new to Nostr (regardless of which client you use — Damus, Snort, Iris, etc.) it’s helpful to follow a few quality/active accounts to get a feel for how it all works and to find conversations you can participate in.

Since a lot of apps don’t have good discovery hubs I thought I would write a note for people who are new here to help you find some quality/active accounts to bootstrap your feed to begin your journey.
