Nostr Web Client

I just tried out Silent Payments on nostr:nprofile1qqs0cpan3knpzta7dn2wpyas2l976yyxjfc9rqt88uedt4qw4h4dfkgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qpaj73l. Pretty impressive!

This is a potential replacement for PayNyms / BIP-47. No notification transaction is required to start sending private payments.

Hopefully more wallets will start supporting Silent Payments because receive support is pretty limited at the moment.

The biggest drawback I see besides limited wallet support is that modifications are required to the electrum server and this isn’t well documented. I’ve run my own electrumx server for years but I’m unable to receive Silent Payments with it. It appears that Cake Wallet runs a modified version of Electrs which I had to connect to for Silent Payment receiving.
