Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).

Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.

```

curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq

```

I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!

The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.

This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.

Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.

This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

Sounds incredible. Bullish af. Appreciate you ser 🫡

Yeah it was a mix of emotions. Among them, fear that the gloves are coming off and more violence is on it's way.

I would say the patriotic emotions were just a primal thing and coming from the incredible images that came out of the aftermath of the assassination attempt.

I still love the USA, even though my logical brain is telling me it is going south in this country, fast.

The Trump shooting aroused a lot of patriotic emotions in me and many others.

Still, Trump ain't some savior. There is no one in American politics coming to save you and me.

I don't care what Trump says at the Bitcoin conference next week, I still abide by the principle, "don't trust, verify."

Anticipate a rug pull from Trump and his cronies, and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't end up coming to fruition.

Just my 2 sats.

While the U.S. Presidential election season is very exciting, it is ultimately a distraction from the true long term battle.

What the central bankers fear the most is people from "the left" and people from "the right" uniting behind #Bitcoin to expose them and destroy their cartel.

The strategy stays the same.

Stay humble and stack sats 🫡

It's a war between good, decent, honest people and the globalist, communist, satanist cult. And now everyone can see it.

It's light versus dark. Same as it ever was. And we're going to win.

Rules, not rulers. #Bitcoin

My mantra these days is "abundance, freedom, love."

I often run the words through my mind, and you know what has been happening in my life?

More abundance, more freedom, and more love.

It is like I am rewriting the software for my brain, body, and spirit.

And I am here to tell you, life is getting fucking amazing 💙🫂

#Bitcoin is an anti-communist movement.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I get it now.

People who hate the truth and hate freedom will always hate #Bitcoin. And there's no use trying to change their minds.

Best we can do is live the truth and live free. And let self-interest and game theory play out.

The freedom movement rolls on baby. Happy Saturday 🫡
