U.S. charges Nostr CEO with money laundering: authorities have accused the little-known platform of laundering funds tied to illicit zapping but have not being able to arrest its founder.

The U.S. Justice Department and Treasury Department have charged Nostr CEO with money laundering, officials said at press conference in Washington during the Super Bowl.

The Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) formally labeled Nostr Inc. a "primary money-laundering concern," which is among the most serious sanctions in the government's criminal-fighting arsenal because it usually cuts off a business off from the global financial system. FinCEN said the company played a key role in handling illicit transactions for actors worldwide, involving $1,000,000,000,000 in direct and and indirect transfers in the last year.

Nostr CEO commented: "GLHF" and "WE WON 🏆 " in two separate posts.

HELLO! WELCOME TO #NOSTR

Here is my daily update #Nostr data sources' list. There is also a nice Bitcoin visualization list sources. Now I post the update only if I find new stuff, so maybe you know already many of them, but you will likely find something new I added TODAY.. at least a new amazing cover image (from Nostrland).
Thank you if you consider giving a like, repostig it or give me a follow or a zap⚡. Also please do comment below with new info or sources if you have, I will put them in in the next update.

Plebs, Nostriches and Normies !!!

I will give 1000 of my sacred satoshi stash to the first 33 Plebs, Nostriches or Normies that reply:

“ Nostr has already won, everyone get ready “

You must have enabled you lightning network address of your choice, but if you have just arrived to Nostr, no worries 🤙🏼 just reply: “ I need help “
and we wil ask around to try to help you getting onboarded within the Nostr Protocol.
If you are already somehow familiar with Nostr I encourage you to Zap the Plebs below in order to support their countless nights of poor to no sleep so we all nostriches can enjoy this experience of a lifetime.
I am sure I am missing many plebs that are contributors to the Nostr movement but I am only one Pleb and I need you help to spread the Nostr message with the entire world 💜

I am currently working on a service that provides automatic Nostr Backups, File Storage and Restore Service.
The backup aspect is already complete and I am now focusing on the "Restore to Relays" part and Storage through ProtonDrive. I have a goal of offering this service for free, and I'm hoping that donations will be enough to sustain it.

Few Things first:

1. This is an early release. You can send and receive zaps with a fixed amount (1000 sats) and see those received zaps in user's profile and in your notifications. Sending is a bit too slow. More options will be coming.

2. The receiver MUST use Zap-supported lightning address setup to work. Otherwise, you would just send a lightning tip and the amount will not update on the screen.

3. The only lightning service that seems to be easily compatible with Zaps is https://strike.army You can connect your Strike wallet there and they will manage the Zap reply in Nostr for you. Your lightning address will look like user@strike.army

Somebody should make a Nostr Export/Import tool. It regularly downloads all your content + reactions to your content (all replies, all metadata events, all reports, all public chats, all private messages) and saves it in a Google Drive as a backup.

Maybe it should even offer a Google Doc/Text File for each feed so people can easily search for very old content.

Or should Amethyst have this? It kinda feels like this app is getting too big already.

Nostr is elegant in its simplicity. It lacks many anti-features, such as:

* Paid advertisements that fill your feed with noise.

* The Algorithm, which distorts the reach of accounts and messes with your curation in unknown ways.

* Arbitrary limits on the length and type of content you post.

* Unpredictable rules around how embedded media gets rendered.

* Nanny warnings about posting negative language.

* Unencrypted DMs that can be read by admins.

* An ever-looming axe over your head that if you violate the increasingly complex and ever-changing terms of service, your account will be censored.

Nostr is freedom.

NOSTRGRAM UPDATE - PAID+PUBLIC RELAYS YET STILL SPAM FREE!

* Public relays have been reincorporated in this update so you can see everything going on but without the spam.
* The Global feed still only shows paid relay content, but if you follow anyone that's not on any paid relays they will now appear in your Following feed.
* Relays are only called if the note/event can't be found on the caching server (rare). This keeps bandwidth to a minimum (important on mobile devices).
* Popular feed was been replaced with Friends+, which shows you all the people you follow plus the people *they* follow (up to a maximum of 2,000 people). It's a great way to discover new content and conversations without the spam of the public relay Global feed.

I agree that a bundled experience has a better UX, let's ask to all the WhatsApp users that try to move between Android and IOS. But a relay is probably excessive as basic backup solution, a client can simply export a JSON blob with all the events or offer to encrypt and upload it somewhere. Of course the "where" can be  offered by the client too, with a full integrated procedure.

#[12] the NIPs are the right place to define a standard backup format?

We are all having fun with Umbrel's Nostr Relay sending evens to our locals.

But what about our old data? What about the events you send when you are out of home?

Well, Nostros can help with that now with the "Push to relay" button.

Amethyst v0.13.3: Auto-translation Options.

If all goes well with this version, it will go later today to the PlayStore.

Download: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/releases/download/v0.13.3/app-release-v0.13.3.apk


My hope is to develop a set of settings where auto-translation is naturally accepted in the default experience.

We may have some options, but keeping autotranslate by default is a key user experience advantage in my mind. Even when translations are not perfect.

A world where we can all talk to each other is better than a world where we just talk to our peers in the same language, or a world where there is some friction to access an external group (like actively pressing a button to translate)

Not easy to solve. But we have to try.


GM! 🤙

If you love Damus, and everything #[0] has been doing for Nostr, then consider donating some sats to him.

⚡📝 Regarding the "Substack on Nostr" idea, I'm very tempted but I'm struggling to see what the "Nostr" bit would really be, if it's all text entries in a postgres database somewhere, hosted on some VPS, and needing a web or mobile client to access it. You can do that with a normal website. Lightning and bitcoin makes it exciting, for sure, and speeds up the creator-reader value loop, but that's lightning and bitcoin, not Nostr, you could just add lightning and bitcoin to a normal website as one of the payment/access options.

⚡So then the network effects, that's cool. But from a creator or a publisher's point of view, perhaps just another channel to deal with. What and how do we send things onto Nostr? How does the value then flow back? Maybe we could go down the paid relay route, and a publisher just publishes to their own relay, or the "Substack on Nostr" relay is just a bunch of writers who agree to only publish to that relay, but that's paying the whole relay for access, how do you divide it up between the authors who publish on that relay and what happens if a writer decides he wants to leave or publish to more than just that relay?

⚡BOLT 12 lightning could work, if Nostr clients all implemented it, but what about the clients that didn't? The writer would still be publishing paid sats for some people, on the paid relay or the clients that accepted the future BOLT 12 sats paywall but people reading on the other relays or clients that didn't do BOLT 12 would be getting it for free.  Which brings us back to the question of whether there will be a protocol level event type that is natively BOLT 12 and does the paywall offer options across the whole of Nostr, regardless of relay or client, or not.

⚡Because that allows the creator control of the access to his content and the interaction, the interface (currently Substack) reminds the reader that he should be paying some value to the creator. That's what makes it work over time. So if the content on Nostr is protocol-level text messages, that's probably where the value exchange needs to happen too, not on a client or a website. There are conceptual problems first, before we start building it.


Ok, so we failed to topple Venezuela or Syria, have lost any meaningful control over the festering wounds of Iraq and Libya, witnessed 20 years of relentless, gold-plated coalition conquest in Afghanistan get spanked and sent to bed without supper, and now we're supposed to be lining up for war with China? Do I have that right? Does that sound like a good idea to you? Anyone?


**The Umbrel Nostr Relay is now available**

Introducing Nostr Relay — an official app by Umbrel.

Connect your Nostr clients, such as Damus, Astral, and Amethyst, to your private relay for seamless backup of all your activity on Nostr. This ensures that your activity is not lost even if you are censored or blocked by public relays.

In Damus, go to Settings > Relays to add your Relay URL.

Tip: Install Tailscale on your Umbrel and your devices for an uninterrupted connection between your clients and your relay, even when you're away from your home network. Enable Tailscale's MagicDNS and use ws://umbrel:4848 as your Relay URL.

Nostr Relay is powered by the open source nostr-rs-relay project — a Rust implementation of Nostr relay. It currently supports the entire relay protocol, including NIP-01, NIP-02, NIP-03, NIP-05, NIP-09, NIP-11, NIP-12, NIP-15, NIP-16, NIP-20, NIP-22, NIP-26, NIP-28, and NIP-33.


This is your daily reminder to stack sats and take back your privacy and freedom. Use a VPN, use Tor, buy non-KYC, use Nostr and stack on cold wallet/non-custodial wallets.

Fight the good fight 🤙


Click, hold, report spam.


Can't wait, btw if you need any help on graphic design or anything let us know. 🤠


If you knew how quickly people forget the dead, you would stop living to impress people.


GOSSIP USERS:  primary support for NIP-65 has been merged in.  That means:

* You can configure which relays you read and write to
* You can advertise this configuration to many relays other than you normally write to
* You will not miss quite so many posts from other gossip users who have done this (you can still miss some but it will get better with more code and more uptake)

The code that watches your read relays for mentions might not work in practice as relays drop connections on us. It doesn't recover currently.  But the code that writes posts that mention you to your read relays isn't in there yet anyways.

And remember, this is experimental. Things might not work as expected. Please let me know if there are problems.

Re-opening my paid relay https://relay.orangepill.dev for public admissions. Please follow every step below in detail to join:

1) Visit https://relay.orangepill.dev enter your public key and pay the one-time admission fee.

Important: Only pay the invoice once! You do not have to repay. If it's successful your Lightning wallet will say paid successfully. If not, pause, and leave a comment. If you see 'Waiting for payment' on invoice page, but it was paid successfully from your wallet, ignore it and proceed to step 2. Do not pay again! I have verified that that the public key gets added to the database even so.

2) Add wss://relay.orangepill.dev to your relay list only after payment. Remove wss://nostr.orangepill.dev from your relay list, it is no longer running.

Note: Payments once made are final and non-refundable unless you run into errors. If you refresh the page a lot, you will be rate-limited and see 502 errors, this is how the system is designed to function to prevent overloading servers. After connecting to the relay, you may or may not receive a DM saying your invoice was paid, ignore if you haven't.

If there are errors on page, pause and leave comment. Thank you for understanding.


Not gonna today was intense, just wondering how the big tech & authoritarian countries will reach, when they will realise what we're cooking here. 😅


Thanks a lot, reason I'm doing this is to have full control, prevent any future censorship & offer this as a service.


I have one very stupid question to tech people here.
Why can’t we have our phones as personal relays?
