nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 created Nostr. He’s been working full time at nostr:npub1m0ney2gz8r4przevwl6hmsr63m9ckcy3skllakl4mqemnc65pwfsv4dqkw almost since the inception of the company (2019). If I’m not mistaken Nostr first commit is end of 2020.
We enabled and supported him (financially and otherwise) working on the protocol, AND a bunch of other closed/open source projects for ZEBEDEE.
Incredible developers like nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4, yourself, nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m and MANY others (sorry I didn’t tag everyone) have worked tirelessly on the protocol too and have taken Nostr to the next level!
My talk at Bitcoin Park was about CUBES - building blocks of technologies. And how innovative developers take CUBES built by others and take it further than thought possible before.
That’s what you have done to Nostr.
We have all taken nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6s invention and taken it to next level, TOGETHER.
Similarly, if it wasn’t for everyone’s efforts on LNURL, I wouldn’t have built Lightning Addresses. If Lightning Addresses weren’t widespread, there would not have been Zaps the same way they are today (for the record I’m sure nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s would have built it some other innovative way ⚡️)
This is about the impact of compounding technologies.
ZEBEDEE helped enable it and make it happen.
Why is nostr:npub1m0ney2gz8r4przevwl6hmsr63m9ckcy3skllakl4mqemnc65pwfsv4dqkw focused on building a product based around a KYC-friendly geofenced custodial wallet?
What is the barrier to getting BOLT-12 finished and removing the web server obstacle to non-custodial static Lighting addresses? Is this something we’ll see before the end of the decade?
Honestly that question is something I ask others. I’m not involved with node implementation development (not the main ones at least) so I’m not sure.
If the market/network choose it, and users want those features and capabilities then absolutely we would support it.
I feel like we’ve been hearing about this for several years but there doesn’t seem to be any announcements or progres being made. Who is working on it, and are there others available to help? Seems like a worthwhile effort to progress beyond LNURL.
We can actually make strides on the nostr side by requesting invoices over NWC 👀
This might even be better for decentralization than bolt12. In bolt12 you still need a way to hit a node for the invoice, which isnt always possible if the node is behind a firewall.
In the NWC case a node could listen for invoice requests using a relay as a proxy.
Oh that’s interesting 🤔
Is this something standardized somewhere?
I’ve suggested it a few times but haven’t got around to writing anything up if someone else wants to take a stab at it
