SeedSigner lead dev. Bitcoin Core dev (barely). Specter Desktop contributor. python-nostr, rana, NIP-26.

Anyone into PayNyms?!

Nostr DMs could replace BIP-47’s somewhat controversial onchain notification tx.

I’m still working out the details but just had to file the NIP since the next number up was: NIP-47!!

I agree. I mean more that outside of the lead maintainers and the vision/focus they bring, it’s a little hopeless to try to drive the direction/attention of developers.

In 2019 Stepan Snigirev was solely focused on Specter Desktop as a QR-based wallet coordinator. USB hardware wallet support was nowhere near the top of his roadmap (maybe not even on it). But I really wanted to be able to use Specter w/my usb wallets. So I just did my own thing and PRed support for them in. That ended up helping propel Specter Desktop into prominence in the early days before Sparrow came about.

If Stepan (being the lead maintainer) had said that he definitively did NOT want usb hww support, I would’ve dropped the idea.

But if anyone else had said, “Meh, I’m happy with Specter as being QR-only; you’re wasting your time,” I would have disregarded them and built it anyway.

“Bang for the buck” is `NaN` in most cases due to denominator sadness.

I know it’s just a turn of phrase, but any talk of things like “optimal use of dev resources” and whatnot is just corporate mindset being inappropriately applied to FOSS.

PiVPN is slightly more hands-on, but ends up being like 1 or 2 stupidly easy commands. Just sets up pure WireGuard w/no other external relay/lookup.

You said WoS was to blame for the high fees to Muun.

It ended up being cheaper than the other dude’s Blixt txs to Muun.

You can hate it for being custodial. But high fees in or out of Muun are because of Muun. Maybe you just haven’t noticed because you’ve only moved dust around?

Wallet of Satoshi slightly cheaper!

So much for that theory about WoS being the culprit for higher outgoing fees.

Custodial Wallet of Satoshi sending to… (I can’t remember what). But similar fiat value.

0 fee.

Strike to Wallet of Satoshi

Gah, all this pasting of private keys into apps and web browsers is just so icky!

When I initialized Damus it said that the other format was “old” so I assumed the `nsec`/`npub` format was preferred. But I dunno.
