Lol yeah, World of Warcraft

I think this is Exodar, capital city of the Draenei 😆

Some beautiful person was the first one besides me to register a #Nomen earlier today. To whomever that was, don’t forget to send a record event! The blockchain only has a hash of the data, which mean the Nostr event is required to complete the circle!

You can broadcast an event here using your NIP-07 extension, if you want:

It needs merging ASAP into Core. Configurable signet block times are a win.

Season 1 is one of the best tv shows ever made. Season 2 was terrible. I don’t even know if they made a third.

Anyway, it’s an anthology series, so the two seasons have nothing to do with each other. Watch season 1

It might be, if people are interested in it and use it 😂

If you have privacy concerns about linking a UTXO to an online identity, you can have someone else do it for you! There need be no connection between you and the UTXO.

It might even be a viable business model (and a step up in UX) for someone to accept Lightning payments to put these on chain! Something to think about 😉

The Nomen protocol and indexer are new software, but getting your nomen is simple and low risk.

Using your Bitcoin wallet, create an unsigned transaction paying a UTXO back to yourself. Make sure to slightly overestimate your fees, since we will be adding a bit of extra data to it.

Copy the transaction to your clipboard as a base64-encoded PSBT (this is just a menu option in Sparrow, for example).

On the Explorer, click “New Name” and paste the PSBT into the form, along with the name and public key. The public key is just an X-only schnorr key. You can even use your Nostr npub.

When you submit the form, it will return a new PSBT with the extra output for Nomen. Copy and import it back into your wallet (again, this is just a simple menu option in Sparrow).

Verify that nothing has changed except for the new 0sat output and you can see that no one is stealing your funds. Then sign it and broadcast it! That simple, really. Low risk.

You can then publish a records Nostr event nostr:note1tx8zmgajjq4srlnuflrqu65p6dm9gr2j5864l3nys5gvkdcfzajszzxsqw

My newest project, which I have been working on for a few months. It's called Nomen, and it's a decentralized protocol for registering globally unique names using Bitcoin and Nostr. I've written an indexer, called Nomen Explorer, which uses published Nostr events anchored to Bitcoin blockchain ordering in order to provide a view of the registered names.

Not soon. You don’t need to get it from TestFlight however. It is released on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nostore/id1666553677

Yeah it’s about 750 pages short, but the technology is still early 😂

RIP Robert Jordan #Bitcoin #WheelofTime

I was one of the lucky ones that got it before it sold out

The Passport is awesome #[0]

It’s over boys and girls

I pulled the trigger 🔫

Why not?

Currently have my finger hovering over the “purchase” button for a Foundation Passport

Great thread, thanks
