Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS)ย bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).

Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.

```

curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq

```

I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!

The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.

This means we can plug the entire internet to it ๐ŸŒ.

Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.

This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

This is big ๐Ÿคฏ

Nostr is not for social media. It's the ENTIRE web ๐ŸŒ

As the old web drowns in waves of AI generated spam, only Nostr will survive. A web without centralized choke points. A web with authenticity where every note is signed. A web that's machine payable by default.

Buckle up amigos. We're sailing to the new world much faster than I realized. Feeling lucky to be alive to witness and be part of this! ๐“…ฆ ๐Ÿš€ โšกโ›ต

As we move along the parabolic, expect more hyperbolic

I like the rhymes, they give me good times.

But humor is a defense, when the arguments become tense. Why dont we speaks facts that relate, when we debate?

Do you know what it does?

This is my understanding: a web service reachable via Nostr

ie I only need to share an npub for you to find the service

This is why we can't continue to talk about Nostr like it's some Twitter clone. It's near indescribable what's being built on this protocol.

Wouldn't the same ai generated spam on nostr be orders of magnitude worse since it's store across so many relays?

Relays and clients can mitigate spam too.

Monetary incentives change the behavior. Why run AI generated spam for little value when you can use "AI" to organize and retreive information using that same system?

Run your own analysis, get paid to organize it and/or leave your analysis and information on nostr itself for anyone else to reproduce and build off it

Does it need a new name? Decentralisation like this is more like a mesh network. Meshnet?

Are you aware of ICP the internet computer. They claim to be doing the same thing.
