Does Jumble assess relay connectivity by WebSocket request? Or does it send pre-flight HTTP feelers?
I’m speculating that feelers could be a reason users see 403’s, but I have very little info to go on (learning of Jumble for the first time today). 😅

2026-01-23 13:29:53 UTC

- reply

I’m not sure. I’m going to give you a full answer at the risk of saying too much.
There are two layers of authentication in the Nostr protocol stack:
- HTTP - This is where the 403 comes from.
- Nostr (specifically NIP-42) - AFTER the HTTP connection, relays often ask clients to identify themselves, which determines what events they’ll send/receive from the client.
You can think of this like a bar. There’s the outer door (HTTP/WebSocket), then there’s the bartender (Nostr/NIP-42) that checks your id and only serves you drinks if you’re old enough.
Typically, relays will be permissive at the HTTP layer (let any client “connect”) and then rely on Nostr-level authentication to determine level of service.
If you’re seeing 403 errors, that means that the relay is rejecting your connection even before getting to the Nostr authentication part. The bouncer isn’t letting you in the establishment.
Speculation:
It’s possible that the relays are rejecting regular HTTP(S) requests because they expect only full WebSocket requests. This is like a dress code. Shirt and shoes (WebSocket) required for entry.
Technically speaking, the Nostr protocol only requires WebSocket support, so a relay COULD reject non-WebSocket requests and be compliant.
It could be that your client is sending feeler requests ahead of your actual WebSocket requests. This is like sending a kid in swim trunks to check if the bar is open. He never gets past the bouncer (403 Unauthorized) even though you’re ready to party (WebSocket) and would have gotten up to the bar just fine.
So if your client is making regular, non-WebSocket HTTP requests before connecting the WebSocket, I would argue that the client is perhaps misidentifying strictly compliant relays as “down” or unavailable.

403 means Not authorized. You don’t have permission to view the resource.
Contrast to 401, which is an authentication challenge. Once you authenticate, the 401 could become a 200 OK (access granted) or 403 access denied.

The fundamental concept you’re describing is “earn coin for holding coin”. That’s how staking works, in principle. By having some coin and staking it, you receive more.
Philosophically, this is a rich-get-richer scheme. Whoever has the most coin earns the most. This is not a new idea. It’s the status quo.
In contrast, a Proof of Work system imbues no advantage to holders of coin over the earning of future coin, nor over the rules of that system. In PoW, you have to do the work to get paid, and you still can’t change the rules.
It’s true that in PoW, having more coin to start with gives you an advantage in that you can buy more mining hardware etc. But if you buy hardware, you don’t still have the coin. You’re an entrepreneur. Risk and reward.
Staking is a regressive system that entrenches existing holders to the detriment of future participants. Proof of Work is an entrepreneurial system that rewards stewards of capital, equally for all.

Here’s a fun chart:
=SPX/XAUUSD
That is, the S&P 500 priced in ounces of Gold. You can see that since 1971, when Nixon closed the gold window, you’ve basically BROKEN EVEN.
You were down in the 80’s, up in the dotcom boom, down in the GFC, but back to par now.
This chart shows that virtually all of the stock markets gains are the illusion of growth created by a depreciating fiat currency unit.

In TradingView it’s pretty easy.
1. When entering your ticker, start with an equals sign “=“ to make a formula.
2. Divide by your intended denominator. For example, to see Gold priced in Bitcoin, the formula would be:
=XAUUSD/BTCUSD
The “USD”s cancel, just like dealing with units in chemistry or physics class, and you’re left with XAU/BTC.
3. Tweak the decimal point. TradingView is not good about showing significant digits. So depending on what you’re looking at you may need to bring it up or down. Multiply by a power of 10 to move the decimal.
So my Gold/Bitcoin formula is:
=XAUUSD/BTCUSD*10^4
This moves the decimal four places to the right. The chart will render exactly the same, but instead of numbers like “0.05”, you get numbers like “498.67”.
On log scale, the multiplier makes no difference. Log scales preserve proportional moves, so it’s like A/B vs (A*100)/(B*100). The ratio comes out the same, so the log scale charts look the same. The multiplier is just a convenience for legible numeric labels.

Presumably the old wallet was standard m/44’ and the new multisig is m/84’, so they’re both hardened to differing roots.

2026-01-10 15:09:34 UTC

- reply

It depends on what you mean by “gains access”. Yes, an attacker who gets the seed will be able to see all previous wallets that use guessable derivation paths.
I believe there may be cryptographic attacks that could result in an attacker having access only to the portion of the tree that deals with multisig. But this is at the limit of my knowledge, and is astronomically low probability (compared to, say, losing your seed, or someone finding the backup words).

2026-01-10 13:15:33 UTC

- reply

Not sure exactly what you mean by “previously used”. Your single sig “wallet” consists of a few different parts:
- the seed - Often encoded as a BIP39 phrase of 12 or 24 words.
- the derivation path - Determines how the software wallet generates addresses.
- the hardware - The physical signing device that holds the seed material.
Multisig uses a different derivation path than standard single sig. So let’s assume you don’t mean reusing that part.
IMO, this is fine.
You MAY reuse the seed/hardware from a PREVIOUS single sig wallet to participate in a multisig. When you do, all of the addresses that that signer contributes will be different than in the single sig case. So an outside observer has no way of connecting the two.
If you use a seed/hardware SIMULTANEOUSLY for single and multisig, you run a bit higher risk, since an attacker that gains access to this one device now commands both. But I understand your question was about the PREVIOUS case.

Your brain absolutely can run on fat. The “-glycer-“ in “triglyceride” means the sugar backbone that holds the fat together.
When your body is using fat for fuel, that glycerine gets sent to the brain, while the body muscles run on the lipids.
Ketone bodies derived from the breakdown of protein are also brain fuel.

IIRC, there’s a weird interaction where Chrome will reject your CORS request if you try to include credentials and the Access-Control-Allow-Origin is set to ‘*’.
To perform a credentialed CORS request, the header has to name an origin. So the workaround tends to be to accept an origin parameter somehow (URL parameter, request header), then, server side, use this value to populate the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in your server response.
That way, the preflight succeeds enough to get to the actual request.
