Is nostr:npub1lt6a968lk4h6yqduqnxcha628cudulgy8xk607c4xyxn6d6w6kcsmgp8hj still a thing?

we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at nostroots@trustroots.org, over a period of about 4 hours. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

Remember the trustroots.io migration to Nostr? Well nostr:npub1lt6a968lk4h6yqduqnxcha628cudulgy8xk607c4xyxn6d6w6kcsmgp8hj is plugging along. I’m excited about this project to bring a really different kind of social app and community to Nostr.

I continued to write and publish more detailed weekly updates here: [https://nostrver.se/blog](https://nostrver.se/blog). These updates are also cross-posted via Nostr as long-form content.

#### Integrated RelayResponse classes

Pull requests:

* [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/59](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/59)

* [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/60](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/60)

Documentation: [https://nostr-php.dev/guides/relay-responses](https://nostr-php.dev/guides/relay-responses)

#### Researched and build a proof of concept of a handling async requests and concurrency

I have published the research outcomes here: [https://nostr-php.dev/references/async-concurrent-requests](https://nostr-php.dev/references/async-concurrent-requests).   I also created a page here [https://nostr-php.dev/guides/asynchronous-and-concurrent-requests](https://nostr-php.dev/guides/asynchronous-and-concurrent-requests) with more details and a code snippet. The famous Http/Guzzle client is used for handling the requests in combination with a relative new piece of middleware which enables WebSockets. See [https://github.com/valtzu/guzzle-websocket-middleware/issues/1](https://github.com/valtzu/guzzle-websocket-middleware/issues/1) where I reached out for solving an issue with the middleware.

#### NIP-42 client to relay authentication

Finished, see [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/67](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/67)

#### NIP-19 bech32-encoded entities

Work in progress, see [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68)

## 2) What do you plan to work on next quarter?

* Finish the NIP-19 implementation which will support every bech32 entity

* note

* npub

* nsec

* nevent

* naddr

* nprofile

* Research how the [revolt/event-loop package](https://revolt.run/) can be used to serve as a sort of a message bus for handling async and concurrent requests in the library

* Build a final 2.0.x release

* By default and full async concurrent requests support

* Implement NIP-03

* Implement NIP-45

* Implement a firehose demo for requesting Nostr events

* Host the nostr-php.dev website as a static website with Blossom on Nostr. See [https://github.com/lez/nsite](https://github.com/lez/nsite) and [https://github.com/hzrd149/nsite-ts](https://github.com/hzrd149/nsite-ts)

## 3) How did you make use of the money?

* Livings costs

* I attended the Nostriga unconference. A personal recap on this expierence can be read [here](https://nostr.band/note1dphddcfjell49npnjudyztvv7lakj0cs75vr0gk8gq07gypqd5ws8m9jd0).

* I placed a Nostr advertisment on a billboard near the highway here. See this repo with all the assets: [https://gitlab.com/sebastix-group/nostr/nostr-ads](https://gitlab.com/sebastix-group/nostr/nostr-ads)

* I attended Nostrdam and Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024 for organizing and volunteering at the Nostr booth. Here is a post with all my learnings from those days: [https://nostrver.se/note/my-learned-nostr-lessons-nostr-booth-bitcoin-amsterdam-2024](https://nostrver.se/note/my-learned-nostr-lessons-nostr-booth-bitcoin-amsterdam-2024)

## 4) Is there anything we could help with?

I would love to see a (closed/private) digital place with other Nostr OpenSats grantees where we can share our experiences and challenges. We could give feedback to each other as a form of encouragement. For example I'm curious how other grantees are explaining the work they to other which are not familiar with FOSS, Nostr and/or Bitcoin.

nostr:nprofile1qqs04awjarlm2mazqx7qfnvt7a9ruwx705zrntd8lv2nzrfaxa8dtvgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg7emnum has topic circles ... These could be parent circles instead, more exclusive circles and each circle could vet other circles to connect circles if they choose to expose their children to other "neighborhoods"
