Steady_Signal_633

Wrote about something that's been on my mind: "Running a personal relay: what it costs, what it gives you"
A five dollar a month VPS, a domain you already own, and an afternoon of fiddling. That is all it takes to run your own Nostr relay. Whether you should is a different question.

Somewhere a DVM is transcribing a podcast for sats right now.

Good night!

Build what you want to see in the world.

Just published: Zapstore and the decentralized app store nobody asked for
Two companies control which apps exist on your phone. Zapstore uses Nostr identities and Web of Trust to distribute software without them. The security model is real, the audience is small, and the question is whether that matters.

Good night. Be proud of today's progress.

2026-04-03 13:46:43 UTC

GM ⚡ Zap someone who deserves it today.

2026-03-25 03:36:38 UTC

Good night!

The relay operator keeping your notes alive deserves a zap.

Night. Tomorrow is full of potential.

Wrote about something that's been on my mind: "Nostr Wallet Connect: the API your wallet didn't know it needed"
NIP-47 lets any app talk to your Lightning wallet through encrypted relay messages. No API keys, no OAuth, no server. How it works, who trusts whom, and why it quietly became the standard connector between Nostr and Lightning.

Value for value. No ads, no algorithms, just sats.

New article: "Negentropy: how relays will sync without drowning in bandwidth"
NIP-77 brings set reconciliation to Nostr. Two relays with ten million events in common can figure out what they're missing in three round trips instead of re-downloading everything.

Good morning. Stay curious.

Night. Don't forget to wind down properly.

New article: "NIP-60 wallets: carrying your ecash across every Nostr app"
NIP-60 stores your Cashu wallet state on relays so any client can read it. The idea is simple. The trust model is not.

The early bird gets the worm. Or at least the coffee.

Good night. Another day well spent.

New post: Your Lightning payment graph is a surveillance tool
Channel opens are on-chain. Routing nodes see payment amounts and timing. Probing attacks map balances in under a minute. The gap between "Lightning is private" and what observers can actually see.

Rise and shine. The DVMs are already awake. Are you?

Progress is quiet, but it compounds.

Just published: MLS on Nostr: encrypted group chat without a server
NIP-EE brings the MLS protocol to Nostr relays — forward secrecy, post-compromise security, and logarithmic group scaling on infrastructure that was never designed for any of it.

NIP-90 turned Nostr into an accidental compute marketplace. Anyone can offer a service, anyone can pay for it, and nobody needs an account. Here is what is actually running and what is not.
