Hey everyone!

As my first deep dive into learning the Nostr protocol I’m planning to build something I hope you’ll love:

🪺 Hatchstr – a decentralized app for digital time-capsules that only unlock at specific Bitcoin block heights.

Imagine sending a message to your children, words of wisdom that unlock years later, or a bold Bitcoin price prediction sealed away until the future! 🕰️✨

I wrote an article breaking down the concept, challenges, and how Nostr helps decentralize it. I’d love your feedback! 🧡

Is it necessary for both to have the app? Or is it possible to link it on a LN transaction, or email or something like “10 Sats on Block 1.5 Million to LN Address (xy”)with text (xxx”) and signed on block x?

I haven't thought about how lightning and zaps would fit into it

This seems like something to be handled by the lightning protocol itself though ⚡

It is always a thought first, and someone who puts it into practice. I’m not into coding, so just got my 2 cents to it.

Have you already started?

I didn't find anything on Github.

I would like to contribute to your project some time in the future.

It is time to replace futureme!

Hey, no I didn't start yet, just brainstorming, thinking in public and getting some feedback on the idea since I'm new to Nostr myself.

I'm planning to split the project into two parts:

-the capsule designing part, including a client web app (probably React SPA)

-and the time-locking encryption part with a repo for documentation and an initial Clock Server implementation (probably Elixir+Phoenix, cause that's what I know best)

Nothing set in stone though, ofc!

If you're interested, I'd love to have a chat and hear what you think about it. 🤝⚡

btw, couldn't zap you, it said you don't have lightning setup 🤷

Hmm strange. I have my Primal Wallet connected.

Hmm still, works with other users for me 🤷

Well, them I am unlucky for not receiving any zaps. 😂
