If you're in the US, come to Maine and I have a landlord who prefers cash payment. He's cool, I just helped him build a chicken run for his no-kill pet chickens. If you prove you created nostril I'll withdraw from my smallish inheritance to cover a few months rent for you. Us terrorists gotta look out for each other 🤙
If this offer doesn't help, just know there will be more and more people of your tribe on nostr trying to make a place for you to come back to, and if you have record of your past work it will surely accelerate your welcome.
Despite its issues, Garnet's existence opened the gates for me to start weakly recommending some nostr apps. Having a client with a built-in monero wallet is dope and was one of the biggest things on my nostr wish list.
By easing my sense of urgency about built-in wallets, it also helped me refine my thoughts about the new top item in that "nostr wish list" - a nostr tipping protocol with a third-party service that can store and privately release wallet addresses to provide address rotation for users with no always-connected devices. Implementing this would probably be about as hard as implementating a built-in wallet, but at least no built-in wallet is actually required.
Just as a heads up, I don't recommend using public tips on the mainnet, or using the mainnet for tipping on social media in general before an implementation has had many years of good track record and/or been thoroughly analyzed by the best math people
Yeah, I got it to display a tip I sent myself on stagenet, just no notification. It won't let me test with you because you're not on stagenet I think
You might be interested in my thoughts on redesigning the core of the protocol

This was a highlight from fiatjaf's article, not sure if it's displaying correctly.
Any improvements to the nostr protocol will tend to start out as additions, not replacements. The protocol needs expansion and I would like to make upgrades so good they replace old parts, but if the old parts keep running in parallel instead, so be it.
Peter isn't totally right, but he's not as wrong as he could be, so I mainly liked the part at the end about making him more wrong.

That's fine, I'm not done writing the script either
Mind posting this in the bounty comments and/or github issues please? The more feedback the better, thanks

Would you copy and paste for me?
Nostril is cool too, it's one of the other ones I'd suggest using. Are you stressed about money because you had your hopes up to potentially collect the bounty? Please stick around, when nostr grows you will be rewarded for your early dev work even if it isn't used. Your post is scary to read, I repeat, please stick around.
A better way for tipping to work on nostr:
When you enter your seed words, any app you'd enter them in also saves the seeds for wallets for various cryptocurrencies.
For fixed-address cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, the wallet address is added to your profile if you choose to include it.
For rotating-address cryptocurrencies, clients are configurable so that they automatically respond with a wallet address if they receive a message containing 2 deltas ∆∆ followed by a space followed by a ticker symbol. This format is so simple you don't need an example to be sure you understand it, and it should never be needed for another purpose that makes anyone frustrated by the automatic replies. Requiring wallet addresses to be requested with a message helps avoid promoting address reuse for UTXO cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
Profiles should have the option to include a tipping address, which is a separate npub these address requests can be directed to. The separate npub can be a third-party service which is fed new wallet addresses when the user is online for their client to periodically update the list. The third-party service wouldn't need access to the wallet funds or seed in this case, a signer app like Amber would be generating the wallet addresses. The separate tipping npub can also use separate seed words to generate wallet addresses, which helps if the user wants to keep the money-storing seed more secure than the seed they sign posts with.
After receiving a wallet address, a tip-sender can tip without any more involvement of the nostr protocol, or they can broadcast an event recognizing the tip (similar to existing zap events).
I wonder if my past experience being "shadowbanned" on nostr was at the internet provider level, not the nostr relay operator level. Would be a clever attack by the deep state
I hereby draw a sacred line in the sand as far as my personal choices are concerned:
I want to use dogecoin on nostr even if the initial implementation ends up being shit, because dogecoin should be used freely, for fun, and without worry. If a lazy dev promotes address reuse while also doing enough unique work to drive adoption, so be it.
I will not use a nostr implementation that meddles with litecoin stupidly; I will only use litecoin on nostr when it's truly implemented well, because we need at least ONE blockchain with good community stewardship. It pains me when dogecoin's fun/silly nature conflicts with being the one, but that's a tradeoff with using a meme to drive adoption.
It might be helpful if someone does cross post this (or relay the info) for folks at https://bounties.monero.social/posts/94/42-420m-nostr-client-for-monero and/or https://github.com/retrnull/garnet/issues
Nah I was bugging for a second there, I'll wait until I can use dogecoin for dogecoin, and I'll use that time for more fundamental work fixing & populating the nostr protocol
Although I said I don't use monero.social, maybe I should start using it and set my own bounty for a doge nostr client... which feels weird to be forced into because there's no equivalent platform for doge bounties, but maybe you gotta do what you gotta do when the best coin for tips is getting slept on
Some issues with #Garnet v0.2.0 and Amber, which I'm posting from Garnet and Amber because I actually use nostr, not github or monero.social
1. Tipping addresses for utxo coins shouldn't be wallet addresses by default; they should be nostr pubkeys for accounts that can be messaged to automatically receive a wallet address (to avoid promoting address reuse), optionally set for profiles where the key isn't always connected to automatically answer such queries itself
2. Typing is messed up, text boxes constantly insert errors such as randomly-removed spaces (in GrapheneOS with default keyboard)
3. v0.2.0 is labeled as v0.1.0
4. There seemed to be discussion on monero.social about notifications for tips requiring the app be opened (not being pushed) but I sent a tip to myself and haven't gotten any notification at all, push or non-push

Posting this reply from it now
Do you care? I tried mastodon long ago, was quickly disappointed in it, then disappointed in myself for getting my hopes up when the protocol itself didn't seem designed in good faith at all. Nostr, on the other hand, I kept coming back to until it stopped disappointing me, because some aspects of the design actually seem smart. The "bridges" show me posts I enjoy from Mastodon, but I don't think I necessarily trust the people making those posts if they're choosing mastodon over nostr. On the other hand, I don't really trust anyone without knowing Digit is safe.
1. Idk if she lies, she seems chill
2. What you just said about her is more respectful than a lot of her Twitter replies
3. At least here, I can call people names for demeaning her without getting banned for using meaner words than they do
