The death of Nostr Wallet Auth is a tragedy, can we bring it back?
Mutiny had taken NWC and made it the best way to do "pull" style bitcoin payments for subscriptions and other things.
Reading through the NIP proposal where nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz tried to share this nice bit of UX with the nostr community was a trip down open source spec hell and it has ended in it withering on the vine.

Their blog post about it here

Everyone expects pull when they pay. An entire industry of SaaS apps is built on users putting in their cc info and forgetting about it for months. We need the same if bitcoin payments will be a thing.
Hah nice, I basically just built a rudimentary version of it for my business and the price in sats updates in real-time on each page refresh https://lightning.nostrmedia.com/subscribe
Very cool!
For now devs can price in dollars but all payments are in bitcoin
Thanks Super Phat Arrow
This tech can build a lot of stuff, we’ll see what the future holds 😁
They have moved over to the blip repo now for the most part.
Mdk will take care of all of this in the background anyway so no need for the user to know. Just some fun behind the scenes stuff
Sign up and we’ll email you as soon as there’s something to try!
Man Monero guys stay coping
The user will have all. Serverless SDK they add to their app. Ldk-node + LSPS2 for liquidity. LSPS5 to wake it up.
It’s a cool idea, our goal right now is not to mix with cc’s to keep to no onboarding, but some sort of opt in cc solution could be in the cards eventually
Just plain ole lighting :)
Hi Nostr,
Launching soon— https://moneydevkit.com
Stripe is the de facto payment solution for developers but theres entire swaths of the globe that aren’t served by it.
Similarly, everyday people with legitimate businesses get their payments turned off by stripe because the traditional financial system doesn’t want to serve them.
Money Dev Kit is the easiest way to get started taking payments online. Easier than stripe. No onboarding or approvals. 170 countries. Your payments are yours.
Under the hood, it’s self-custody and lightning. None of the headache, nodes channels etc. The interface will be truly stripe level and better.
After working in lightning for the past few years, the hidden alpha on the network is there are plenty of people sending and able to send payments, but there’s a shortage of people receiving them.
Underserved devs are using AI to make the future of the internet, and this will be by far the easiest way for them to receive those payments.

Stablecoins being denominated in $ does not make them easier to use or for people to pick up
Stablecoins have the same friction of Bitcoin, if you want real $ that you can buy groceries with, you have to buy / sell them. And don’t get me started on all the different chains, bridges, gas fees etc.
Taxes are another thing, but I doubt people are sitting around saying “if only I didn’t have to use bitcoin.tax I would be spending Bitcoin right now”
Similarly, very few people are saying “I would spend in crypto if only there was something just like dollars” they are just using dollars. For those who are not able to use dollars, bills like the genius act are adding kyc to make sure they can’t use stablecoins for payments anyway.
Long term, Bitcoin is more universal, has more liquidity, and with improving tools and applications, will be easier to use than even dollars and bank accounts, let alone stablecoins spread across multiple chains each with their own peculiarities
The DOJ, which is the executive branch. It is currently being reworked by Trump including undoing all this BS
If someone asked who I was voting for I made it a point to tell them that the Biden administration was specifically putting people in jail in my industry because they didn’t like it. It was a vote either for people who were actively putting people like me in jail, or the ones that actually were throwing us a bone.

So much easier to set up. I know nostr users handle nsecs etc. but normies have no concept of copying / pasting codes across apps
What happened to Nostr Wallet Auth?
Why do I see the worst open source dev hell when I try to find out if this is a nip now?
This was the best way to connect with nwc by far, and it looks like the spec was nitpicked to death for no reason
