Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) is a big f***king deal because it replicates in a decentralized manner how the payment and credit card networks tokenize your card to store in your phone.

I'm taking NWC one step further by developing what I am calling the Nostr Connect Protocol (NCP) a more generic and trust-minimized way for any two npub-equipped apps to securely communicate.

In fact, I have already implemented NCP for #nostr #safebox where each instance can directly communicate with another instance for presenting and verifying credentials.

Nostr Connect already exists.

What’s the NIP?

NIP-46 was called Nostr Connect.

yeah, nostr connnect can refer to this proprietary service nsec.app thing that does nip46. so its not necessarily 'taken' perse, but in use

but i believe thats what semi means..

Yeah, I think I might instead call it Nostr App Connect. It’s a generalization of NWC.

there are non proprietary options

Thx. I’ll call it Nostr App Connect.

Can I use this to get zaps?

They won’t accept my burner email on alby so I’m not participating in the zaps here 😕
