The natural progression of apps.
1. Every app uses no wallet.
2. Every app uses its own wallet.
3. Every app uses your #nostr wallet.
The playbook is clear. Inflate money. Prices rise. Tax unrealized gain due to prices.
Maybe, the EU is not the problem, it’s this guy.

#Earth needed four billion years to create.
#Nostr needed only one mandatory NIP to bootstrap.

End of an era.
Apple ID becomes Apple Account.
Call it what it is.
Lesson to be learned:
There should never be a Nostr ID - just a Nostr npub.
Your identity is you, not some assigned or random identifier.
Excellent points made by nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m. We are still early…
The reason I am here on #nostr because I feel the same vibe of what it was like in 1993, before the web went big in 1995 (Netscape IPO). I haven’t felt that vibe for over 30 years and now it’s back on #nostr.
Back then, corporate websites were managed by ‘webmasters’, usually by folks who took time out of their D&D gaming to learn html. Big Newspapers dabbled in html websites, but nobody thought they would replace that thing that landed in your driveway every morning.
Fast forward, 30+ years, I can honestly say that I believe we are on the cusp of something new. Back then, it was about information being immediately available everywhere. Now it’s about authenticity+money being available everywhere - baked in the protocol for you to judge and decide - not part of a commercial platform who does that for you.
Who knows what the future will bring? I am confident that I don’t know, but I am willing to be a ‘possibilian’ - trying out possibilities, building/experimenting whether they work out or not.
In the end, those who are asking for first class services on the Wright Bros. Airline, they might not get it, brothers are still getting the plane off the ground.
Be patient. Be positive. Be a possibilian! nostr:note1e8gzpmeum8tqzqg6sjkuxge7v764h9x49n7e000as0x40lpekazqfhwk8f

Hi nostr:npub1q6mcr8tlr3l4gus3sfnw6772s7zae6hqncmw5wj27ejud5wcxf7q0nx7d5 - I hope you don't mind me mentioning you.
Given your cool work on the nostr safebox, I thought you might have valuable feedback/opinion on the idea mentioned in my previous note (obviously not the same as the nostr safebox, but still somehow related). Cheers!
Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs9h8p23u023zwkxu55y094vupw89m23ljfzrw8kgn308ypevss40spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsypzr72 ! Let me chew over this. I think it can be done. Some sort of secure locker that can only be sprung open after a certain time (blockheight). I already have private storage implemented (undocumented), so I will give some thought on how it could be timelocked.

With #bitcoin you can have a self-custodial wallet that exists on the ledger because it's maintained by multiple nodes.
With #nostr, it's possible to have a self-custodial wallet that exists in the network because the data is replicated across redundant relays.
In both instances, only you have the private key and no single entity can rug you completely - that's what makes it self-custodial - and sovereign.
A major update to #nostr #safebox.
The code now supports multiple mints and automatically selects the keyset with the sufficient amount to make a payment.
Also, I’ve done some fine-tuning to make sure safebox data is automatically replicated across relays.
Finally, I’ve started to add the code to ‘accept’ Cashu tokens, swap the proofs to the home mint, or store the proof without mint verification (i.e., ‘offline’).
No guarantees that anything works, but I am really happy how it’s progressing. I’ve proven the main mechanisms work, so now it’s about fine-tuning and refining. My goal is to use this as a backend component to my Lightning payment system, but more broadly, this is a ‘self-custodial wallet’ solution as only the owner/custodian knows the key, and the wallet ‘lives’ in the #nostr network - not only any device, server or database.
Anyway, hoping this project gets a mention by my #nostr friends and cohorts at #nostriga nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr nostr:npub16dhgpql60vmd4mnydjut87vla23a38j689jssaqlqqlzrtqtd0kqex0nkq nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc
