I love that on Ditto I can react to people's reactions. Only based clients do this.

I think these guys knew exactly what they were doing when they named their software "whirlpool". 5 years in prison to be set for life upon release (endless donations from the Bitcoin community who loves their martyrs) is the type of trade-off you'd see in the top comment of an AskReddit thread.

There's no way this can be "solved" in the way you want without creating immense complexity. That's the tradeoff. It's already been "solved".

If you understand Taproot, that's basically it. From Taproot's standpoint, your Nostr pubkey is the "internal pubkey", then everything else is just taproot. You can get a bc1 address from any Nostr pubkey to send, and if you've received you can spend. Also, I introduced a kind 8333 event for "on-chain zap", which is basically just an event with the target event ID and the Bitcoin transaction ID. That's it. Otherwise it's just a Bitcoin wallet.

I'm still working on adding signer support. NIP-07 needs a window.nostr.signPsbt and NIP-46 needs a sign_psbt method. It works correctly with nsec login. Don't judge it yet unless you sign in with nsec.

On Ditto every person has a zap button now. It uses your Nostr key as a Bitcoin wallet. No additional setup required. No more whining that people don't have an address configured or that Lightning doesn't work. It just works. Isn't this what Nostr is?

It can actually only reach 127.0.0.1 and localhost. It can't access other internal IPs. Combination of security on Shakespeare itself and that modern versions of Chrome since about 6 months ago also started preventing it. If you need to access an internal IP, run a small local server proxying 127.0.0.1:someport to your 192.x.x.x and connect to the localhost IP
