Nostr Web Client

You know how Saylor talks about Orange checks? Is there a way to derive a Bitcoin address from a set of nostr keys, so that it probably was derived from that nostr keys (and nobody can use the address for more than one npub) and then you move idunno 5 bucks of Bitcoin in there and then you got your orange check?

So do you want to achieve proof of burn committed to nostr keys? That is easy. To be a proof of burn it would have to be done by deliberately no using a full key pair but only a valid public key with no known private key. Send to "1BURN".

would have to be from the npub you want to commit to but only the first n bytes.

would be the smallest number of bytes to turn the rest into a valid Bitcoin address.

And yes, you will get much hate for this as these would be unspendable UTXOs like inscriptions. With the "1BURN" prefix you would at least tell the world it won't be needed for spends later.

Hmmm... i'm not sure if it should be a burn, the orange check mark.

Probably not actually. I feel like we wouldn't be able to convince the community to do it at large. Although it would be a great way of proving 'cost'.

I think two way thing would be better. Just if you take away your coins, you lose your check mark.
