I'm also very interested. Also, why cashu as opposed to lightning? Does it solve a specific problem, e.g. is the TX more condensed? Can you explain why four messages were needed?
I am inspired. I am wondering about propagating transactions (BTC) and knowledge repositories (Nostr) over mesh
Have you used Nostr marketplace before. What works well or doesn't work, in your view?
Well, yes. I'm experimenting with Nostr marketplace, and I wanted to sell something for real sats, to experience how it works.
What would you pay for small business SaaS which promised you interoperability by default with account portability and no lockin? Would you pay a premium? What if it were cheaper? How could incumbent Slack, Google, Atlassian (etc) compete?
I'm imagining a user space. I select my account, I select my relay(s), and then I use any client to interact in any way.
My account may be a personal or organisation account, and my user space may have both available to select. My relay may be public, or org relay, or a private backup relay. My user space has all available and I may select one or many.
My org may issue my account and run my relay, with auth so that only a whitelist account can read and write. And yet my account is portable and if I want to take the account to another relay, for example a vendor or client, I just need them to authorize me. if I want to post publicly to Global I can do that too.
As a user I can BYO client. The client is constrained by the user space, interacting only with the accounts and relays defined. An org admin can define that space, so that a user can BYOC with no risk.
Clients may be social media, threaded messengers, collaboration work spaces, event calendars, knowledge repositories, etc
We open source the user space software to enable client compatibility, and sell the administration as a service. We peel customers from Slack, Google Workspace, Atlassian, more.
Fundamental building blocks are user auth like nsec.app, and relay auth like nostr.wine. Add a GUI admin for CRUD of accounts, rights and privileges.
...
Honestly I think nsec.app is a game changer. Still wrapping my head around the possibility here.
The more I think about nostr the more I come back to the Bitcoin native implementation as key to amazing new apps, for Bitcoin and for the web. Bitcoin uxto based model is so different from eth account based model. But nostr is an account based model too. Pay to npub type methods, as in npub.cash open up all kinds of powers. Layer this with RGB or Taproot assets and you can do all kinds of things. I'm thinking about DAOs on Bitcoin, Airdrops, more, all BTC and Nostr native. Fascinating.
Almost $100k Australian dollary doos.
never bet against the founder with a chip on their shoulder.
Welcome Mike!
New Primal app is a Venmo Cashapp competitor. I love it.
Is there (could there be) a standardised way to derive a nostr keypair from a bitcoin address? Thereby every public Bitcoin address becomes an inbox? #asknostr #nostr
Just found this anarchy hell thread and loved it.
