Nostr Wallet Connect became the USB-C of bitcoin wallets and apps 🔌
We hardly can keep app of new apps joining the ecosystem! 👀
Let's see what new wallets support NWC and what new things you can dow ith your wallet since the last update 🧵👇
👛 Let's start with new wallets that gained the superpowers of connecting to apps!
First one is nostr:nprofile1qqsvdc3s5f0260zfwqfkx7lnw77wmqw8ekmqmzq6v0kmzw9s32ngpqcfwuxkg , a well known lightning wallet that lately became one of the first mobile Spark wallets.
Give it a try, the team is now working to improve it even more 🛠️

A new, community-driven web wallet for buisnesses and individuals with strong focus on NWC and connecting to apps: meet Buho
Try open beta at https://t.co/Ngsrd9RGfN
The team behind Buho recently also released BuhoGO — mobile and web NWC wallet interface. Just connect as many wallets as you want and pay on the go 👣

The third wallet that had NWC feature for a while, but we somehow missed it
nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqgx2rkzgd27s84hfr2sy9ju9df76pk54u7mgrq9jyvm6agkd9mgydyfalee0 is one the leading ecash PWA wallets with some unique features like Pay To Pubkey (P2PK) that allow for offline payments. It's nuts! 🥜

📱 Now let's get to apps:
Zap Tracker is an execllent value4value web analytics dashboard that lets you manage multiple wallets and has built-in tools to engage with your supporters and community.
Very powerful tool for the internet economy 🌐

✨ Two AI tools additions!
1. AskExperts lets you create AI experts, discover them, and ask them questions privately and pay for the answers using lightning
KYC-free and with hundreds of AI models. Pretty cool huh? 🕵️♂️
2. Something for developers: turn your MCP into PaidMCP by nostr:nprofile1qytzqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k7tcqypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9numxx6g9 and charge bitcoin for each tool request, powered by NWC.
It takes just a few lines of code to implement 👩💻

Now we have a draft of a new protocol that uses NWC.
Described by nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsqgzhd53ac0djq4kjpzzfgch7udvvl8c0xvg2933ukmpx0f9e7kzglyy7s393 as "a layer 3 protocol for zero UTXO trust-minimized lightning wallets"
Very interesting concept and we hope we'll see it live soon!

Yes, what I mean is the where and how of the implementation. I'll share my thoughts on how I was planning to do it and how it could work for this use case. My perspective shifted when I created the transparent OAI proxy https://github.com/gzuuus/transparent-oai-api . With that proxy, I could connect to PPQ, intercept all requests and responses, mainly for debugging purposes. However, that concept could also be used to integrate a cashu wallet into the proxy, enabling automatic payments when necessary. A local piece of software that expose the same API of the provider, acting as a smart proxy to manage payments and top-ups using NWC. This way, the user centralizes their connection with providers and interacts with them using the localhost endpoint.
I have more ideas about this, but simply the system is already pluggable to Goose. It would be as easy as configuring the endpoint in its configuration. Its also more portable. You can also write it in any language
