That's gorgeous!
There's something satisfying about seeing all my #nostr activities getting backed up to my node.
You can kind of search with Primal. #'s and @'s at least.
I've enjoyed using Orbot recently. Was using ProtonVPN, but Orbot let's you select which apps run through Tor and is still fast enough on most things for me.
Latest release of Primal on Android is pretty slick ngl
Incredible, a whole trust for 35 nodes, 6 of which Ripple Labs run themselves! 😂
I've implemented a BitStream proof of concept by Robin Linus in Cashu for atomic swaps between files and Lightning payments.
Atomicity is achieved via a "Nutbond" Ecash contract which can be challenged if the downloaded file doesn't decrypt right.
An explainer and demo video is linked below.
How it works:
- Clients requests download
- Server sends encrypted file, Lightning invoice & Nutbond
- Client verifies bond and pays LN invoice
- Client decrypts file with LN preimage
- If decrypt fails, client challenges Nutbond & gets refund
Some notable differences to the original proposal:
- Nutbonds are issued for each user, not per file
- Bond doesn't burn but acts as a refund to user
- No Merkle trees yet. Next logical step. Vibes well with BitTorrent.
- Bond is Ecash. Payment is on LN, could also be Ecash.
This took me a few hours to implement showing how easy it is to experiment with new contracting primitives in Cashu.
Bitcoiners are coming up with beautiful solutions for practical problems. Special thanks to Robin for sharing his cool ideas with us. Love the energy!

What if the file isn't necessarily what the client was looking for? (i.e. I upload a file called Terminator Movie, but it's actually Star Wars or just the first 30 minutes of the movie or even some kind of malware). Would that punishment just be reputation since the file could still be decrypted properly?
Still blows my mind how the dollar prices today will probably never come down, and this is the new normal for stuff.
Cost $36 for two burritos and a drink the other day from Freebirds.
I don't doubt a large amount of folks would just roll over, but I already assume I'll never see a cent from SS, so that's hardly a threat to me 😂
