Aha! That is an interesting thing. Also encryption and security is solved.

The hardest part is to make this compatible with the smtp protocol, or support this for generic email addresses.

You mean to use a social graph as credibility, or to use nostr as a common database for spam signatures, that anyone can query and update? Or something else you mean?

Good morning ☕️

I started to work on an email alias service powered by nostr.

I stucked a bit, because I started to try to solve all privacy problems I see.

But if I can find 1 thing in which I can make this better then other alias services on market, it worth already to roll it out. Also users shall think the same.

What is the benefit of it over e.g.: SimpleLogin?

1️⃣ You don't need an email address to use it.

2️⃣ Service does not know which alias belongs to whom.

3️⃣ Easier to send email from alias.

4️⃣ Emails are stored on user defined servers (relays)

(5️⃣ Uses nostr as login)

Common features

1️⃣ Emails are stored encrypted.

2️⃣ Senders won't know your identity.

3️⃣ Open-source/self-hostable

The feature I want, that seems pretty hard to achieve is, that the service has no access to the content of your emails.

NOSTR:

Social media minus the addiction

Just got locked out of one of my credit cards for daring to request a balance transfer while using a VPN (which I've done many times before) and their system doesn't support sending one time codes to my virtual phone number. Now I get to wait 2 to 3 weeks for snail mail authentication. 🙄

With phones in everyone's pockets, we've eliminated boredom.

But also eliminated contemplation along with it.

good morning

I'm looking into truenas scale and putting start9 in a vm.

I'm using Cloudflare zero trust tunnels, if you don't mind proxying through cloudflare.

"why aren't people using bitcoin" - me for 14 years

"why aren't people using nostr" - me for 2 years

It's going to be another 12 years for nostr isn't it 😭

oh well, lots of time to build stuff. bitcoin NGU should help fund the latter at least :D
