Head of building shit | Lightning.Pub | ShockWallet.app | Lightning.Video/thecto

IP filters will eventually block new people as well, those using popular VPN's, ISP level IP4 gateways, Tor exit relays, college campuses, the list goes on... attackers can unfortunately get their hands on IPs just as easily as they can generate new keys

Soft forms of WoT via invite links or PoW seem more promising

Architecturally very similar to what we do with ShockWallet and Lightning.Pub so it's nice to have the validation, and honestly I always kinda felt browser extensions / WebLN were retarded 🤣

Thanks!

Wallet is the client and has a node manager built in yes, the Nostr RPC comes from the lightning.pub repo, if you look at the methods there on GitHub you can see all the calls we make over Nostr... It's just like a regular http API, but we built a proto generator that takes the API and spits it out as Nostr interface code

We also recently PRd NIP69 to enable static payment codes over nostr without the full interface, debits coming next in a companion nip

Hey Justin would you like to come onto our show nostr:nprofile1qqsyua37gr949pkt3n2n0jasnz90c0accmr78ekkr3pcj4f7jg3p02qpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uu57pw2 we run mon-fri there's a link below to pick a time that works for you to discuss your project?

Hell yeah, busy next week but week after def 🤙

Is the time selector UTC?

I'm fairness that's only because it's trash engineering that doesn't work, and is only being propped up by a few salaried devs funded with opaque objectives.

New in ShockWallet and Lightning.Pub: Static payment codes over Nostr provide a more performant, private, trustless and decentralized replacement to LNURL and Bolt12

Play around at demo.nip69.dev

The codes themselves are not (bec32, similar to an nprofile) but they provide an easy upgrade into Lightning Addresses

There's comparison to Bolt12 in the PR comments, Nostr-native offers feature better performance, portability, web-friendliness, and privacy than Bolt12 offers

If you have an old laptop you can dedicate to throwing linux on (or $5/mo for a VPS), you can set up a Lightning.Pub by pasting one line of code

That'll will set up a Lightning node that allows you to connect ShockWallet to it over Nostr, it also provides for inviting friends/family etc to share in your liquidity

Pub will give each user a noffer string, and the wallet will use it to get a shockwallet.app lightning address

Lightning.Pub instructions on Github: https://github.com/shocknet/Lightning.Pub

It would be a feature of your wallet that allows others to request an invoice over nostr, it's a replacement for lnurl

Privacy focused products generally spread through virtue signaling, not substance... Unless you really know what you're doing, privacy tools are just honeypots
