Hey Lightning Wallets, you have done an amazing job integrating zaps!! 👏 Wonderful job!

What about stepping up your nostr integration?

What about allowing the user to opt-in to this integration defining his npub?

With that npub the wallet could get from nostr relays information about the user's sent and received zaps, and fetching info of the sender or receiver.

That information could be used to enrich the corresponding Lightning transactions history with the name and pfp of the sender/receiver.

What do you think?

Does it make sense?

The only value it does have for normies is, as #[0] pointed out, it makes it easier to give someone your contact.

"Hey how can I add you on nostr?"

"My pubkey is npub..." vs "Just add me@domain.com"

Yes, they all return the same filter.nostr.wine relay metadata.

I don’t have a clear answer to this yet and I don’t have any issues with someone opening 1 or 2 websocket connections and requesting lots of events. I am only taking action against the worst offenders right now. I’m seeing some making thousands of connection requests in one burst. We saw one crawler attempting to request 200gb worth of (duplicate) events every day.

We are trying to come up with good rate limiting numbers that also don’t disrupt some of the more spammy clients…hope that improves too!

A unique problem we (nostr.wine) have is crawlers are considering every filter.nostr.wine/npub a unique relay. There is generally no purpose for an aggregator/crawler to get events from filter.nostr.wine anyway as they are all duplicates of big public relays and can be filtered for a specific pubkey depending on your request (it’s an aggregator).

Technically it doesn’t even mean verified, it just what some apps have chosen to call it verified. A hangup from the blue bird

#[2] do you think NIP-05 is a must have? Somehow I didn't do it, because I think as anyone can do it, does not give or provide any guarantee at the end. So I don't see the value in it. What is your opinion?

Something interesting the latest spammer used, is this service. It’s basically a zero sign up NIP-05 service. It’s actually pretty cool.

What it does mean however is that having a NIP-05 and even being a validated NIP-05 means nothing regarding trust that can be given to a NIP-05 verification.

And just to clarify, not saying that applies to all NIP-05 domains, just that having any valid NIP-05 in of itself isn’t useful without further validation by other means.

In this case, the spammer created a kind0 metadata event and got a fully verified NIP-05 without any further effort - but their posts looked more authentic in client apps… which is something to ponder if this is app good UX.

Beware of the accuracy of stats from nostr relay aggregators. Some cool work being done and I’m happy to see that, but many relay crawlers we’ve witnessed are built without any consideration of resource cost on operators.

Nostr.wine and filter.nostr.wine have blocked several of the more outrageous offenders and will continue to do so.

Please crawl responsibly or you’ll lose access to the data you seek.

Unfortunately the days of using pseudonyms in meatspace are numbered.

It won't be long before non-trivial numbers of individuals and businesses have augmented reality HUDs that incorporate real-time facial recognition. Hiding behind a pseudonym will become a distant dream.

Makes me think of Elon’s comment years ago about his vision of building the “X app” — the ultimate integration of many life functions. And if it was on a decentralized platform, wouldn’t that be the ultimate tool of freedom and sovereign living?

This is a leak! ;)

Yes it is not the finished version, work in progress.

It is, but I was wondering if any term exists, that doesn't need the "self" prefix.

ChatGPT came up with all kinds of "self-" ideas.

does including '$' break the spec? just starting to dig in deeply this week.

Unfortunately not

Nostr is super unique and ahead of everyone with zaps

Omg... This just made me FOMO

Any idea on a one-word short and non-negated) version for „non-custodial“?

>Users MAY be awarded badges (but not limited to) in recognition, in gratitude, for participation, or in appreciation of a certain goal, task or cause.

Allows for nostr service providers or open source projects (anyone really) to publicly award badges to supporters, and for nostr users to choose which badges they want to show on their profile. Mostly a cosmetic feature but is fun.
