What's the current state of nostr relay software?
I used to work on one in 2023 for learning purposes. Since then, my attention has been diverted to other matters, so it never came to be.
This automn, my attention will most probably be back on sovereign software development in full force.
Be it on nostr or Bitcoin, maybe I should focus on newer problems to be solved, hence my questioning.
We did a lot of NWC development for nostr:npub1jluy3twvf338v6zlujzzdhjkzjy8ezj34ksydr8vw8a6jwp89ygshpp2kq ... what helped was looking at open source code from COINOS and ALBY, if you can't find the repositories, let me know and I can dig them up. But really the MOST useful thing is nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s site https://supertestnet.github.io/nwc_tester/ ... to test your implemenation. Also you an look at the code of this site to understand how it works from the client perspective..... Finally, I can't imagine doing NWC development without running your own relay, at least for dev purposes, because it really helps to look at the logs of the relay to see the messages coming to and from your NWC implementation. Finally, read this 10 times... .https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/47.md .. and then put it into an LLM and ask questions about it or have it talk to you about it... I find with complicated stuff like this, it's really critical to make repeated attempts to fit it all into your brain, over several days....
that's a kick ass answer, THANK YOU
I want to learn NWC from a rust developer perspective... where should I start?
Is there a podcast somewhere explaining the basics of what it's for and how it works with a high level perspective?
The ideal would be an architectural view.
Tails remains the best read-only OS for security, but is it hostile to #Bitcoin?
Electrum’s hardware wallet support is gone, and adding alternatives isn’t easy.

Impermanence in NixOS is where your root directory gets wiped every reboot...
Add some bitcoin apps to the configuration and create an image with it.
You end up with a potential bitcoin bootable USB key that records nothing.

I really can't stress this enough... nostr:npub18eynzyyrx0v46qjnvtj6mvekpxlfnkq06e3zfd6q9487vty0lfaszucvu7 continues to make major contributions to the Bitcoin NixOS community.
He packages and maintains Sparrow, Bisq, Bisq2 into NixOS! Without his work and expertise, Sovran_SystemsOS would not be what it is.
He is a master at NixOS, Linux, and Java.
Send him a thank you and zaps!
Thank you again nostr:npub18eynzyyrx0v46qjnvtj6mvekpxlfnkq06e3zfd6q9487vty0lfaszucvu7 you da Man!
we need more bitcoin software straight in nixpkgs... let me know if I can be of any help about that.
I’m freaking a little…
Nostalgia stroke this morning. I was remembering some old and mysterious cryptographic puzzles from a decade ago named “cicada 3301”.
After reading their whole wikipedia page, I went on to take a look at markets, and stumbled on this:
Helped another pleb get set up on nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub yesterday. You can literally set up a complete cloud-hosted Lightning node from your phone in under 10 minutes. It’s ridiculous how easy it’s becoming. 🐝⚡️
Once they integrate BOLT12, it might end up being the best setup there is.
Time for a nice TradingView BTCUSD chart cleanup. Switching to price discovery mode.
Let's goooo! 🚀
iPhone mirroring is my new favorite way to use Damus
There is an issue on the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm hub GitHub repo about BOLT12…
Seems like they’re on the lookout for demand about that feature.
If you’re interested, like me, let them know!
Sounds like a nice opportunity to do something meaningful! nostr:note1k5grzd075zumjqt7kdt59lgaek947ymj00dsupar5f46m24qrrkq9ykhww
is there a way to somehow use BOLT 12 with Alby Hub?
