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.
So if you use a nutzap to pay for a relay, you can pay with nuts to use your nuts.
Yeah whatever it's called. Make it a super rare 1 of 1 udinal with recursive runes minted crypto monkey JIF.
Nature is healing.

This can be engraved on mainnet.

Maybe not. Broke the ring trying to install it. 🤬
If this whole bitcoin thing fails, I can always become a self-taught kitchen appliance repairman. I heard there's good money to be made with that.
Just stay humble and stack sats. That's all there is to it.
“Thank you for the cheap sats, here's a coffee. 🤙🏼”
Totally unnecessary risk profile by setting up over streaming water. I call bullshit. Just make the damn posh coffee on solid land and then enjoy the view.

Can you send some to the BitAxe crew?

Read up on it, she actually made an NFT of a diamong and destroyed the diamond with a hammer.
It's a fucking usability nightmare. For the rest it's a good device, albeit a bit too light (weight wise), but having a completely smooth facia where the buttons are is really really destroying the whole thing. I'm glad I got rid of it.
We used to have an ancient one, that one was perfect. But it died after 10+ years, unfortunately.
