Zaps should now work

Finally NIP-05 verified my Nostr pubkey against domain name I own. Turns out it’s easy. https://nostr.com/verify-your-identity
Doesn't look verified on snort.social
Self-sovereign Lightning Address guide just dropped: https://sovrnbitcoiner.com/receiving-self-sovereign-zaps/
Tried to zap
"tallycoin user has not set up a lightning wallet"
I just published NIP05 for self hosted ghost, a guide for people already running a self hosted ghost blog.
Gif PFP are cursed.
Inspired by United States Patent 5892470
# Abstract:
A computer-based method and system for encoding a number as a sequence of words. The system has a table of words from which the words in the sequence are selected. Each word in the table has an index. To encode the number, the system first calculates an integer quotient of the number divided by a count of the words in the table and calculates a remainder of the number divided by the count of the words in the table. The system then repeats the following until the integer quotient is zero. The system selects the word in the table that is indexed by the remainder. The system then adds that word to the sequence. The system then calculates a new remainder of the integer quotient divided by the count of the words in the table and calculates a new integer quotient of the integer quotient divided by the count of the words in the table. The sequence of the words when complete represents the encoding of the number. The present invention also provides a computer-based method and system for decoding an encoding of a number to determine the number represented by the encoding. The system initializes the number to zero. The system then repeats the following for each word in the encoding. The system determines the index of the word in the table of words. The system multiplies the number by the count of words in the table. The system then adds the determined index to the number. When the process is complete, the number contains the value represented by the encoding.
Trying to understand how old @ElectrumWallet seeds were encoded.
What's going on here?
The only part that i get is that it transfroms x in base16.
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/1.9.8/lib/mnemonic.py#L1659
Takes each sequential 8 letter chunk of the message, converts it to base 16 (hexadecimal), from that hex it derives a number identifying one of the words from the wordlist (takes the value or the hex mod 1626), then derives 2 more words deterministically. All three words are used

Works very well ⚡
Download this app, copy that it's your identity, now scroll. Yes that is #[2] posting about aliens, yes #[3] just pushed to main and added the bar back in, yeah that is #[4] releasing the baklava recipes to the commons. Yes, it's always this special
Sometimes I just randomly remember how fantastic #[0] presenting cryptography is not enough was in Riga. One of my first irl bitcoin moments. Legend
The follow count is constantly in flux and is meaningless, all that is real are the zaps hitting my node, thanks to you anon zapper
Thanks. Tailscale Funnel might be ideal once out of beta
E2E encrypted pipe between your devices. Let's them treat each other as if they are on a local network
As #[2] mentioned, BTCPay Server is the best way right now, though Zaps don't show properly on Nostr to it due to a lack of NIP-57 support.
Support is WIP:
https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/discussions/4642
On the clearnet side, this is a great reason to run a VPN like IVPN and place BTCPay behind it so you can use it publicly without revealing home IP!
How would you set up the VPN for this?
I use reverse tor proxy but it is very slow 🐢
Nostr has officially replaced email (waaaaaay too much spam) on my about page:
https://sethforprivacy.com/about/
Really enjoying the experience so far!
Shame DM metadata is public
Ok, it is a few steps, but none that are hard. Once BTCPayServer is running and accessible on clearnet it is 2 clicks.
I use a reverse tor proxy to make my tor BTCPayServer public, I will write a tutorial
Have you previously set up a clearnet BTCPayServer connected to your start9 LN node?
If running a clearnet BTCPayServer it's as easy as making a lightning address like sats@tips.orange.surf
If running it on tor use a reverse tor proxy on a VPS (look at btcPayServer guide usinf socator) and do the same
Even with all the quirks and bugs, it's remarkable how good the nostr apps are already.
I wasn't excited about lightning until today when I started sending and receiving zaps with Zeus connected to my own LN node
Trying to figure out how to get zaps working with a self hosted btcpayserver ln address
