When you say restore from 0, are you saying 0 monero block height or the block height saved from when the wallet was created in nosmero?
If you are using an incognito tab that would explain why the delta sync isn't working.
Using regular browser tabs, nosmero saves sync heights to localstorage so unlocking is from last sync instead from start height.
Let me know if it is something else you are seeing, thanks
Thank you for the kind words!
That's a relatr score, a WoT implementation. Check it out here:

Now you can add emojis to your notes in nosmero! 🔥🎉
😀👍
**Happy Saturday Monero Fans!**
I revamped the search. You should see much larger and more accurate search results.
Note interaction counts were not showing up in right column feeds. Fixed.
As always: if you spot a bug or worse, please let me know. **I'll tip you for the heads up.**
Squashed some bugs in the livestream page and continued to optimize some backend code.
Have a great weekend Monero fans!
Merry Christmas Eve Eve Monero fans
-made a ton of backend changes to nosmero and cleaned up almost the entire the codebase over the past week. Nosmero users will probably not notice much, perhaps a slightly faster response on some things
-squashed a couple of bugs that you might have noticed before but which weren't necessarily breaking anything, i.e. there are now USD equivalents displayed next to monero amounts for all tip options
-reminder to update your default tip amounts, the bull run XMR has been in means to do ~5 cent USD tip it needs to be ~0.00011
Have a great week!
Almost forgot: added full outbox model (NIP-65) functionality a couple of days ago. When NIP-65 was first added it was just for the management of relay lists and I'd forgotten to add it for the full note and profile interactions.
Made some bug fixes I found in the rendering notes in the right column, and improved search results with the proper formatting and relatr badges.
Have a great Friday!
New in Nosmero: Livestream support 📺
Watch NIP-53 streams from zap.stream and other providers directly in the app. Live chat included.
And, of course, XMR tipping for streamers coming soon - still in testing. Are there any Monero fans who are livestreaming and who want to help with testing?
Apologies, I can't reproduce, I've been able to post, repost, and browse without losing connection or throwing a disconnect. Any other info on what's happening on your end?
Updated nosmero with some bug fixes and improved functionality of the new right column layout.
Also added a new feature: support for "classic internet" username/password account creation to smooth any onboarding of mainstream social media users. The private nsec key is encrypted in your browser. Nosmero stores only the encrypted version using the NIP-49 standard (scrypt + XChaCha20-Poly1305). The user's password uses ncryptsec for local storage and for authentication nosmero stores the bcrypt hash. So, in the event of a hack with full root access, attacker can only get bcrypt hashes and encrypted blobs.
I still recommend nsec logins, of course, but in the interest of mainstreaming nostr (and Monero) I agree with the other clients that offer the classic account management option.
Cheers to the weekend!

Good Day Monero Fans! Here's whats changed in nosmero over the past couple of weeks:
---
💰 Unlock for 0.00005 XMR
🔗 Unlock on nosmero.com
[Encrypted content - pay with Monero to unlock]
Happy Tuesday Monero Fans!
Over the last week I fixed the Tor bug where the tip jar wouldn't sync with the node. Long story short, once a tip jar had enough transactions, the memory needed to do what monero does to keep things private wasn't adjusted right.
After much trial and error it should be trouble-free now for both Tor and clearnet access.
Not sure what you mean. Both, as far as I can tell, should be able to send XMR between users of the respective clients. My goal has been for nosmero to be just another nostr client option, but with monero tips instead of Bitcoin zaps being the economy.
Good Day Monero Fans!
I’ve been researching and testing the following which I think might be of help to the XMR ecosystem. They have now been turned on for nosmero:
Monero Tip Jar
- This is a non-custodial browser hot wallet (your keys, your coins)
- Create new or restore from seed phrase
- This is not mandatory. You can still tip or unlock notes (see below) with the existing QR code option (hardware wallet compatibility coming soon)
- The queue function also works with the tip jar, so you can tip multiple notes all at once to deal with only one 10 confirm lockup
- Tor support with randomly connected remote nodes for maximum privacy
Paywalls
- I think it would be nice for content creators to have the option make a little XMR off their effort. So I’ve also added locked notes.
- Instant unlock when paying with the tip jar (tx_key auto-captured). You can unlock with external wallet, of course, but unlock is not instant, you’ll need to paste tx id and tx key from transaction to unlock.
- No middleman, the funds go directly to creator's address (either your tip jar address or whatever address is in your profile)
- Locked content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM , unlocks are tracked locally in your device, but also on nosmero if you clear local storage. The content of the unlocked note is not saved to nosmero, just { noteId, buyerPubkey, txid, amount, confirmations, unlockedAt }
Some of the Security Features Behind This Stuff:
Encryption at rest:
- Tip jar encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before touching local-only storage
- Key derived via PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations
- Your PIN to unlock tip jar is never stored.
Brute force protection:
- 5 failed PIN attempts triggers 15-minute lockout
- Lockout persists across page refreshes
- Auto-lock after 15 minutes idle
Network privacy:
- Tor users (.onion): if you access through the Tor address the tip jar will connect to random remote nodes over Tor - your IP isn’t always sent to any single node operator. This is best way to use nosmero.
- Clearnet users: Connects to Nosmero's local monero node, so only nosmero sees your IP as it connects to Nosmero's local node through nginx reverse proxy but with access logging disabled, meaning your IP address and RPC queries (balance checks, transaction broadcasts) are never written to disk or stored anywhere
What nosmero can’t do:
- See your seed phrase or private keys
- Custody funds
- Log RPC queries or IP addresses for wallet operations
But, of course, this is a hot wallet - it is a TIP JAR - so keep only small amounts for tips and paywalls, not your nest egg. No guarantees, beta, as-is, where is, caveat emptor, etc. etc.
I hope you find these useful, and let me know of any bugs you run into. Mobile and desktop should have access to both of these features.
By "this" do you mean the forthcoming PWA? If so, yes that will be supported
Happy Thanksgiving Monero Friends! Here are some front facing changes to Nosmero over the past few days:
-mobile is working well now
-search has been revamped to give more results and better sorting and filters
-Nosmero is now available as a hidden service at nosmeroix3mixibdzzkjncxa4pp4ovvwp7xgaxtucx2roskv52w3hpyd.onion
for those who use Tor
Updates:
-refreshed the UI of the site
-added a Web of Trust Feed which pulls notes from your extended network. It shows notes from people followed by people you follow. Hopefully it is a helpful way to find interesting content and new people to follow within your trust network. The feed randomly samples from your network each time you visit, so you always see fresh content.
Next issue to solve is Amber login. I know it's a valuable option. I can probably make time to have it solved by Sunday. Thanks mobile users for your patience 😀
Sorry, but I've spent way too hours troubleshooting Amber. It started a couple of weeks ago and then today. It's going to have to go on the backburner for a bit. Once past signing in and the app is just non-responsive to any other signing events. Apologies again.
Got it, thanks again for the heads up.
Thanks for letting me know about that issue. I'll get to it as soon as I can.
Also, it reads the "about"for potential XMR addresses, but storage of the address is with NIP-78.
Thanks for checking it out!
Fixed the theme issue. Removed it from Settings and made it a toggle on main menu.
