I made damus, npubs, and zaps ⚡️ Independent bitcoin core and lightning dev.

let's just gets zaps, reposts and regular reactions working first :P

yeah that's the idea. nice thing about this approach is that you can continue to use lightning normally through the entire process.

its in our milestones for this quarter. I'm currently fighting with the android build

we're working on a few local-algos first. maybe dvm feeds eventually

some people aren't giving up. see phoenixd and: https://sats.build/self-custody-lightning-2025/

Which one? If we want large scale non-custody we will probably need covenants.

because for your channel state to update you have to be online to sign the multisig transaction. Think of it as a bar tab with the amount of bitcoin that would go to each party of the channel when it settles onchain.

it’s difficult to work on, bitcoin L1 is super constrained in what you can do, so it complicates L2 design. This is why covenants would be nice, simplifies a lot of things in L2 space

It’s really hard, so not sure. Gonna see what we can do though

"look everyone is using custodial lightning so we should embrace that" makes me feel sick. I always thought this was a temporary measure until we had better wallets, TIL the plan now is to embrace it fully for mass onboarding.

We're working with a few partners to try an alternative approach. If it fails then it fails, but at least I can sleep at night knowing we tried.

Mass onboarding into custody seems like a disaster without a really good non-custodial offboarding plan.

my solution was to build an app so i don’t have to trust anyone

i have a zap script for that. Its super robust and powers all the zaps on my posts

Yeah it’s sad, 98% of nostr devs seem ready to go full speed ahead in that direction though. i tried to build a non custodial vision but failed. Maybe i need to go back to working on lighting or other L2 tech again.

I noticed nostur does this. We just added it to notedeck as well

Announcing partnership with my core lightning node.

I had to ask zero third parties to get zaps working. I just ran a bitcoin core node and core lightning code and established a few channels with a few peers.

Imagine asking visa for permission to do payments. Getting cut off when you transact the wrong way, or get constantly charged back. We would need chargeback zap types 😂

Have fun with that X!

yeah i think we still have code that hides content rendering if over 16000 characters due to a spam attack we received one day. We have post truncation now so we don’t need it anymore, the code just has never been updated.

always good to exercise free will every now and then to remind yourself you are free

Damus purple subscribers will have access first then public release when it’s well tested

Depends on the client, but on damus you highlight the text in safari, click the share button, then click “Highlight on Damus”

Awesome #notedeck tutorial. Thanks nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 ! nostr:note128y0xl3mre69gtkx7g89q5xqa2mjyx4gm0tr9jsqu7x5rqz40jcsyg9slv

thinkpad x1 carbon. I got the gen5 like 10 years ago. best laptop i’ve ever owned and still use.

I also got banned from my "free speech" instance by talking about bitcoin

Can’t stress this enough. nostr:note1z0sp79j0rpl0vq2gnsktfxfjdltfwcsuf7ec4zczc0eszj6atrls0wq609
