A re-post of an earlier post that seemed to have knocked out all of the nostr clients due to an errant image upload.

Enjoy (if you can)!

I've had many ask me - what is #nostr  #safebox. Rather than the glib answer - 'it can be anything you want it to be' I decided to be more specific.

Look at the diagram - Nostr Safebox is that fuzzy hatched box, cutting across several components. The 'guts' is a component called 'Acorn' that does all the heavy lifting. It is never intended to see the light of day. At the top, you are seeing a glimmer of the user apps. First is the safebox cli app, the command line app which I built to test the core functionality, Second is the web app, which was initially built to test out all the async capabilities. And third, the platform apps (first up is a point-of-sale app) which will interface via Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC).

This is still a journey of discovery, and a hot mess of features and implementation. But the vision is becoming very clear - Nostr Safebox is about PROTECTING YOUR FUNDS AND RECORDS, but making them available for everyday use.

The beauty of nostr is that I can build this WITHOUT PERMISSION. I can follow my convictions, and maybe one day, it will be useful. In the meantime, I am having a helluva lot of fun.
