announcing nadge v0.1.0: a minimal nostr badge client in cli written in golang.

https://github.com/kehiy/nadge/releases/tag/v0.1.0

i made some major updates on https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1509 and i think it's ready for implementation. also, i add some comments to answer some possible questions. it will be implemented in the immortal relay first. if you are interested to help in testing, you can try to implement it in your client or relay.

My Nostr predictions for 2025

Exactly one year ago I published my Nostr predictions for 2024. Some came true, but most were, shall we say, aspirational, and, if we want to be generous, directionally correct. Happy to continue in the same vein and go out on a limb for 2025. Here we go, ordered by likelihood of coming true:

1. Primal will become much, MUCH better. Primal 3.0 will be a bigger leap forward than Primal 2.0 was. We will surprise everyone by the features, speed, level of polish, and ease of use.

2. Many other Nostr clients will impress by their progress in a relatively short time frame. If I had to pick one, I have a really good feeling about Highlighter.

3. Way more bitcoiners will join Nostr. While we currently only have a small subset of bitcoin enjoyers on Nostr, the new features and unique content will make Nostr irresistible to anyone interested in bitcoin.

4. Bitcoin-adjacent communities will start to discover and join Nostr. This will include health & wellness, financial twitter, human rights, libertarians, and other communities. As a result, the network will grow and become more formidable.

5. Spammers gonna spam. With the growth of the network, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.

6. The Blossom protocol will make media hosting on Nostr much more robust and resistant to censorship.

7. Long form content will start to hit its stride on Nostr. This includes textual long form content (blogs, essays, articles, etc.) as well as long form video content.

8. Multiple Nostr projects will find effective and ethical ways to monetize, marking a watershed moment for the protocol. We will witness the formation of the first cohort of real businesses on Nostr, signaling the inevitable changing of the guard and the eventual extinction of the Legacy Web.

9. Nostr will experience a glimpse of what a ‘suddenly’ mainstream adoption moment looks like.

10. By the end of the year, everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.

11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.

One thing is certain: we will keep pushing until we will this thing into existence. 🤝

Anyhow, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Pura Vida, and Peace and Love to you all! ♥️☀️

looking at my oracle, i can see some of them going to absolutely happen... 😵‍💫🔮

received them! thanks so much. 👀⚡🪼

oh, really? do you have any badge containing both nostr and bitcoin?

merry christmas. 🥳

nice art. also you have dope badges. 😵‍💫👽🚀🛸

that would be great if you support signer extensions or apps instead of nsec import.

https://lnvps.net/ is pretty good.

do they accept bitcoin? we are still seeking for a good provider for our services.

im using wallet of satoshi. maybe it has no route to your lightning node. 🤨

afaik, ios apps can't interact with each other like amber and amethyst for example. so the approach is something like nsec app which is a remote signer. but im not sure how much this thing is safe!?!? 🤨👀

i can develop a tool for this. or better to say i can define an standard to *gift* sats. over nostr. not too complex.
