Nostr Web Client

Here's another boring invisible capability I implemented. If #nostr #safebox detects another lightning address has a safebox behind it, it bypasses lightning completely. Instead, the payment is completed by issuing cashu tokens and securely transmitting via #nauth. The payee listens for payments and accepts the tokens as they come in.

As for the user, they just think it's a regular lightning payment. As for other lightning addresses, #nostr #safebox simply falls back to the lightning network.

Truly private payments! Onward!

The next step I am super-excited about #nostr #safebox.

So far I have built a capability to make payments and receive payments using a NFC card using nostr wallet connect. I also just built the capability of two safebox addresses to automatically bypass lighting for direct payments using secure gift-wrapped messaging.

So, the next step is to combine the two into an invisible card payment network that works completely with nostr/cashu and drops down to lightning when someone wants to pay outside the network or move funds.

An invisible payment rail that can use self-issued NFC cards? Who would have thought this as being possible? Now I know it is!

Onward!

I've upped the ante.

I am now aiming for an invisible payment and record-sharing rail.

#nostr #safebox

Will there / is there a website or a page that explains all of this? Would be great to see

Soon. Still doing all the engineering/dev first. Posting here on nostr is my first step.

I can already see it, a slick dark page showcasing the power of instant payments over NFC 🤩

It’ll take me a couple of weeks to put the pieces together but I know I can do it. Much is already built for record-sharing. I’m just re-purposing for payments. You’ll be the first to know.
