Nostr Web Client

Here’s an idea for an experiment: leave ecash (e.g. cashu) tips as comments instead of zaps. A user has to click the link to claim the sats (whatever website you’re trying to promote). This is nice because you have direct feedback on how much money it takes to generate a click. The user decides directly on whether the link appears worth a click. Ecash can be made redeemable only by the npub to whom it was sent. Based on my understanding of cashu, I believe this is technically feasible.

I received a couple of your zaps with the link but didn’t click. I didn’t know what it was and didn’t care to find out. Nothing was in it for me except simple curiosity. I’d already been paid.

I gotta dig into this more. Thanks for sharing this 🫡

As a non technical person, and idea where to start with this one? What tools could be used in making this happen

I’m not an expert on this either. I’d defer to nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg on whether this is currently feasible.

I know that I can send sats via lightning to you at [npub]@npub.cash. You do a nostr login and claim the sats (as ecash on the npub.cash mint). Only you can claim these sats. This is one example of pay-to-pub key (P2PK) ecash. In fact, there are 300 sats for you there now. Check it out.

Say you’re using a nostr client on the web. Here’s a possible flow (that would need some work to build):

- have a browser extension to log the npubs of the accounts you want to tip

- those npubs are saved in a database

- your website has a default landing page with info about the company/product

- there’s a button to claim ecash

- a user hits the button and inputs their npub

- if the npub was in your database, your wallet sends x number of sats P2PK

That’s awesome. Thanks for showing me this.

Imagine this onboarding flow. Zero wallet set up. Make an account, receive freedom money units.
