Nostr Web Client

Yeah an actual Cashu mint.

The results is mint the code of which you or anyone can attest and the database of which you or anyone can also attest, as long as you trust AWS and their hypervisor. Or Intel and their chip design, whatever path you go.

But again, if you pull the keys out the mint self-destructs, Mission Impossible style.

I really dunno why enclaves aren't more widespread in the nostr zeitgeist. nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy has been doing a lot of really interesting work on the enclave side for signers. Maybe because it means some reliance on AWS or Intel for the attestation? For me Nostr relies on DNS anyway so not a big deal, but for others I dunno.

I don’t think it’s fair game to say nostr relies on DNS.

It’s not like matrix, activity pub and all that federated crap where identities are tied to server names.

We just happen to connect with relays to send and fetch notes, that more often than not do have a DNS.

And we have people building P2P experiments with nostr, which further proves the point.

What I mean is that every nostr relay and media server is on an ICANN domain, so without connecting to ICANN DNS nothing on Nostr works.

Unless you’re on Damus android pulling notes from nearby peers, or connecting to a tor relay or…

My point is nostr doesn’t halt without DNS, contrary to other protocols which tie DNS into user accounts.

Fair enough, I've not yet looked into whatever Damus Android is doing.
