Like on a hardware wallet, you sign the transaction on the device and only the signature goes to the computer and then to the network. In nostr you do the same with this device. Instead of a transaction, you sign the message you are posting.
Of course a bitcoin transaction is more important than a nostr message, but for a thing like a social platform, no one can hack or steal your account.
You can buy the goddamn nostr signing device now on the LNbits web shop.
This little device blows my mind. How cool is it to be able to sign your own posts with keys that aren't on your computer? The best part: it's cheap!!!
I noticed that the buttons and screen are not really required, since the signing is made automatically when the device is conected. Maybe the device can be more affordable without the case, screen and buttons, only the board?
gm! ☕️☀️
The Salt Lake City bitcoin meet up is tonight. If you’re in the area stop by, it’s a great group of people. https://meetu.ps/e/LSnlj/Wghcl/i
I can’t wait to try the bitcoin atm that will be at the event! Super easy to convert cash to sats! #[0]
Looks nice! Is it offline or online?
yeah it is great because you do not need to click the device for every like or comment.
Nice graph. Although that might be the case for many developed countries. Imho problem is that since population in US is still growing, the pie is being perceived smaller for them, compared to countries with shrinking populations ( japan, swiss, etc)
blastr: a nostr cloudflare workers proxy relay that publishes to all known online relays.
------------------
This takes advantage of the high availabilty of cloudflare serverless workers on the edge that are rust wasm-based with 0ms cold starts. Learn more about cloudflare workers.
This is write only for now and is compatible with nostr clients but also features a simple POST api endpoint at /event. All events get queued up to run in batches by another worker that spins up every 30s if there's any events lined up, or once a certain amount of events are queued up.
This will help ensure that your events are broadcasted to as many places as possible.
What the fuck? I read the cloudflare workers sitr and I do not know how they work but it looks too good to be true. Will look more into it. Maybe I will deploy something as a test. Anyway, thank you very much!!
The ordinals thing is so weird imo. One guy decided to order sats with some logic and then associate stuff to it. You can do the same with natural numbers (1,2,3..) (instead of sats) and start registering stuff in your site (and also in a btc tx witness) and associate those things to the numbers. As soon as the interpreter (the site) is gone, the association will be gone, and those witnesses will mean nothing.
Is there a free web REST service that allow me to post a btc address, a lightning invoice, and then return a response with both qr codes? Kind of like btcpay server but for any bitcoin address and any lightning backend. I am planning to build one that will do that, and also will check the payment status using the specific onchain and lightning service API. However I do not want to if there is already something like that. It is just a machine that will:
- Receive a BTC address, a lightning invoice, the bitcoin/lightning service URL, and an API key for querying status.
- Display those QR's in a BTCPay style
- Query with a bunch of GET requests the payment status and wait till the status changes
- Update the screen indicating the success
- Return to the original site (any site that is using this service)
