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!

Honestly, I think this is a pretty big deal.

In brief, a payer lightning wallet using #nostr #safebox under the hood can detect if the payee address is also a #nostr #safebox address. If so the payment is completely negotiated and cleared with cashu tokens, without ever touching lightning at all. That means a totally private payment system can be built that invisibly works on top of lightning and automatically back to lightning whenever needed.

The user never knows the difference.

Not using Lightning is always a good call.

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!
