It sucks that a lot of major fast food restaurant establishments are pushing towards non-contact menu ordering through their apps and offer rewards platform-locked to their services only
Which also requires signing up for them to sell your data as part of their revenue model
Family/dine-in restaurants may be going down that direction, too, for convenience and efficiency because their business model greatly depends on online advertising to bring in more foot traffic but at the cost of data retention to sell to advertisers
Even SteakNShake requires an account or data before checkout and reward distribution

@nprofile…un4l pushed three NIPs to close the full NSP stack – derivation (PR #2355 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2355), receipt notifications (PR #2362 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2362), and a Silent Wallet Connect NIP modeled on NIP-47 (PR #2369 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2369).
The stack handles on-chain privacy cleanly but the wallet service is still a surveillance point – a third-party operator accumulates a complete payment graph regardless of what BIP-352 does on-chain. Posted a design note on splitting the wallet service into two blind TEE-attested components so neither operator can reconstruct who paid whom.
The TEE guarantee is probabilistic not mathematical and doesn’t touch amount privacy or timing correlation – but it closes the operator surveillance gap. Curious if this maps to anything you’ve been thinking about on the OpenETR side.

I worked on the NIP spec last night and just uploaded the updated version - let me know what you think of it & also left you a technical question that needed clarification
I think your npub-derivation approach is the most trust-minimized implementation of the other iterations, but there’s still some work to do on client-side guidance
But for now, the foundation of NSW seems promising

The tag strings match - great!
The question is the derivation method. Your diagram shows BIP32. The NIP draft uses BIP340 tagged hashes: scan_privkey = int(tagged_hash(“nostr-sp/scan”, sk)) mod n. Same tag strings, different operation, different output keys.
Which does your code actually use? If it’s BIP32 I can align the NIP to match.
Either way let’s nail this down - here’s the draft: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2355

Hey Tim — I've been working on a NIP draft for private on-chain zaps using Silent Payments and your OpenETR work is directly relevant.
Quick technical question before I open the PR: your diagram shows BIP32 derivation for nostr-sp/scan and nostr-sp/spend — is that what your code actually uses, or tagged hashes under the hood? The answer affects interoperability between OpenETR and the NIP.
Happy to share the draft if useful.

Hey @nprofile…rlfn — you mention Ark as a funding source that disincentivizes DoS since the operator risks losing their own bitcoin if they turn it off.
Is that the primary direction being explored for unilateral exit, or is there a broader roadmap item where token holders themselves could claim funds independently if a mint goes dark — similar to how Lightning force-close works?
Seems like the last major trust assumption to crack after the enclave model lands.

You just answered your own question. You said you'd fight for your keys - that's property defense. You can't claim there's no ownership and in the same breath say you'd physically resist someone taking them. Those two positions don't coexist.
I'm not arguing for protocol-level morality. I agree Bitcoin is neutral code. But moral and social reality exist outside the protocol. The wrench attack is wrong not because Bitcoin says so — but because coercion to take what someone defends as theirs is theft, regardless of what any protocol recognizes.

2026-04-19 15:16:57 UTC

- reply

So wait.. for those who hold Bitcoin, is it not considered their private property?
Under your framework, is a $5 wrench attack morally acceptable? If someone physically coerces you into handing over your keys and moves the coins — did anything wrong happen? Because if ownership is just key-control, the answer has to be no. That's the wall your argument runs into.
