Zaps should now work

I just published NIP05 for self hosted ghost, a guide for people already running a self hosted ghost blog.

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.

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

I'm open sourcing my "famous" baklava recipe so you can make it at home! 👩‍🍳

Who knows, maybe yours will also sell for 14 btc one day. 😄

Pastry ingredients:

1lb walnuts

1 cup sugar

2/3 tsp cinnamon

Dash of clove

1 lb butter (melted)

2lbs #4 fillo dough (#4=thin)

Syrup ingredients:

2 cups sugar

2 cups water

1 cup buckwheat honey (key ingredient)

Pinch of clove

Couple dashes cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325F.

Add walnuts, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon and clove to a food processor using the mixing/chopping blade.

30 seconds in a Cuisinart will grind the walnuts to meal-like consistency.

The fine grind is key.

Using a pastry brush, spread butter along the inside of the pan.

Make a base layer of 10 sheets of fillo, buttering each sheet as you place it.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_8c32399ba17add66b43437e762ca34c5a177f51f2fa5455f89122c5ba0a5e58a.mp4

Press down on excess dough around the edges. Poke the bottom layer with a fork to prevent air bubbles during baking.

Now lightly sprinkle walnut mixture into the pan.

Add 2 sheets of fillo and repeat these steps (2 sheets then walnuts) until only 10 fillo sheets remain.

Add remaining walnuts to the pan.

Your last 10 fillo sheets are the same as your first 10 - 1 sheet, butter, 1 sheet, butter, etc until the fillo is gone.

Now you're done assembling the baklava!

Final step before baking is scoring. You can cut the baklava however you like. I keep it basic.

Now we bake at 325F for 40 minutes.

https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_b20df2eda074d68258ae713a29ee583dd7e6c0767bd7f6d8697e893e544888b6.mp4

Syrup time!

Mix sugar, spices, & water in a sauce pan. Heat until sugar is fully dissolved.

Add 1 cup buckwheat honey, stir, & remove from heat.

If there's a "secret ingredient," it's the buckwheat honey. Other honeys will radically change the flavor.

After 40 minutes your baklava will look like this, but we want to brown the top.

Turn oven up to 375F & bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until top layer is golden brown.

Remove from oven and immediately pour syrup over the baklava, spreading it evenly.

Allow baklava to sit for 4-6 hours to cool and soak the syrup.

Mandrik's baklava is best served chilled.

You can freeze baked baklava for months, and it's good in the fridge for many weeks.

I'd love to see results from anyone who makes their own baklava with this recipe.

Enjoy! 😋

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

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 🐢

⚡ Thank you, if you decide to try it DM me

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

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
