#gitvianostr

2026-04-24 08:03:56 CEST

PSA:
Nostr is much more resilient than Bitcoin.
Many people find this hard to believe but it's really simple to reason about:
Bitcoin must come to a global consensus on the state of its ledger. Simply put, money must be universal.
Nostr does not have this requirement of a consolidated 'global'. Stuff can be distributed anywhere and people still have their own microcosm of Nostr, even when others don't know about you at all.

Main point is, this doesn't work as a proper git remote.
The point of git is effective state sync of commits and branches i.e. a DAG of code collaboration objects.
If you want a signed archive of a repo you could use this but this is not good for code collab purposes.

Implemented the whole workflow and worked nicely but still mostly I ended up just listening to pods and do deep thinking rather prompting while I'm out and about

There are a couple of things AI still can't reliably code, most notoriously:
- Authentication
- Payments
But know that is not true if you're using Nostr and Bitcoin.

2026-03-19 07:39:11 CET

I'm a daily active user of nostr.
Just not on the social media front.
I speak to my AI coding agent inside @npub1p28…hpp3 via DMs.
Also doing other dev work in BudaBit that 99% replaced GitHub in my workflow. Organizing BudaBit Demo Day events on @npub1z0l…8ldk
Occasionally managing apps with @npub10r8…t2p8, watching a stream on Zapstream or paying my contributors in sats on @npub1uvj…d955. Tipping sponsored freelancers with nostr-native ecash. Shilling @npub1zzt…ljrv every now and then on my meetups.
Antennapod is still my daily driver rather than fountain, simply the best in this category and open source. Hope I can switch one day though.
Ppl trying to measure nostr usage with social media as a proxy is understandable but the whole picture is very far from what you can extract from such a narrow view of a diverse ecosystem.
Patience pays off. Gradually then suddenly.

Working on a new workflow with opencode. Goal: less sitting, more touching grass while staying productive.
- Laptop running opencode on Tmux + termux to access from mobile
- Futo keyboard for easy local voice to text
- When agent finishes sends short summaries with some metadata over nostr in DM (my own spec that I use with budabit based on nip4)
- Can be more interactive back and forth with termux or little less context rich but easy replies via nostr DMs
- Result is shared on a public ip accessible on mobile browser fast
- Laptop in backpack running on shared hotspot or at home
- Can take up where I left off
- Can extend this later to multiple agents deployed on cheap vps
The nostr part is an opencode plugin, and will have a skill for 'nak' too.
Almost there.

The cope is there because ppl think if agents start to use one currency then network effects sink in and we won't have another shot.
This is false FUD. It will be easy to switch once the current system is shaken.

- Community features on your private relay + GitHub-like features. The code collab part can be private or more public.
https://gitworkshop.dev
- GitHub-like client compatible with BudaBit
Both follow nip34 and run git operations in the browser, with shallow-cloning and expanding into full cloned repos in certain cases.
More about my client BudaBit:
- Create, fork or import repos from GitHub, Gitlab, Gitea, Bitbucket
- Handles Grasp: Nostr-authed git server
- Can keep your repo on multiple platforms and Nostr handles authoritative state
- Soon launching: cross-platform PRs over Nostr
- In the coming months: Nostr native CI with Loom protocol - CI job request-response flow with nostr events, paid with cashu.
Web of trust opportunities for filtering slop or untrusted contributors. Gives control to maintainers how strict they want to be and a way to build verifiable lasting reputation.

I merged PRs cross-platform today in BudaBit.
GitHub -> Gitlab and the other way round, using the new PR event kinds of NIP34.
Still testing out the new PR workflow but this is going to be a new chapter in code collaboration.
Currently, depending on which platform or forge you use, the PR workflow is dictated by that central place. No standardization, platform-locked identities, and no signatures. Migration is a nightmare and collaboration is hindered.
Nostr solves this problem allowing code collaboration to use a universal sovereign identity and a common format for everyone. More freedom to share and contribute, enabling people and agents alike.
Platforms have been ruling our development processes, now they are becoming redundant hosts for code.
Nostr will rule them all.
... and we haven't even started. Stay tuned.

Usability comes first.
- If you want to expose yourself to spam, use nip17.
- If you want to play with incomplete experiments use all the others.
Nip04 if used with proper encryption behind trusted/paid inboxes is a working solution today with acceptable tradeoffs, like it or not. And creates nice incentives to use DM inbox relays.
Privacy is important but if that comes first, I guess you:
- Prefer Monero to Bitcoin
- Always use Tor instead of VPNs
- Run your own AI infra and not using chatgpt or claude
Or not?
It's a hard choice and quite a headache to find the balance, but we need not be enemies based on this.
What we need is a nuanced discussion.

With #SatShoot you can now configure and view your nip85 Trusted Providers of useful user-related scores:
https://v.nostr.build/1JWgF7MXCLn4HKR1.mp4
Why its useful: Certain metrics help you decide if someone is a bad actor, bot or probably human/good actor. These would be hard to priduce client-side so you choose providers you trust.
So how do you choose providers?
From your client-side verified narrower web of trust!
SatShoot will actually gather public provider info from your narrow trusted network of pubkeys and show who is using which provider.
You can select multiple providers for a "capability" (metric) and compare them.
Capabilities can extend beyond what's defined in nip85 so you can practically gather a bunch of these metrics from WoT preferences and select the ones you find meaningful.
You can verify in SatShoot that metrics are not merely preferred by a user but that metric is actually served by the provider as you saw with "Verify providers" feature.
Then you can go to profile pages and to Analysis that fetches metrics you configured earlier.
This is another one of those features that help extend trust like Vertex does but doesn't actually have an effect on user experience until explicitly following someone.
An important philosophy of SatShoot is that a real digital marketplace is one that you verify but that doesn't exclude optional trusted service providers.
The configured providers will start showing rank metrics on profile icons in #Amethyst client.
This feature was implemented as part of the #wotathon by @npub1hea…vp8p .

If you ever wondered why email is broken despite being an open protocol here is a reminder:
Of course today you cannot run your own email sending service realistically, you will be banned in no time. So as @nprofile…vr0z is using anchor (a push and email notif server for flotilla) I wanted to setup my own for BudaBit.
Well, it is not KYC but my account was flagged and suspended immediately after registration. Why? They of course will never tell me the checks they use, completely opaque but my name being causally set to 'John Doe' might be related.
Here's the info they actually ask to review my case:
"
Your account was recently flagged by our automated security system. This occurs when certain patterns are detected that may indicate a risk to our sending reputation. To protect the integrity of our platform, we aren’t able to disclose the specific triggers involved.
....
As your website is hosting very limited information, are you able to share more on:
1. The nature/business model of your business? Could you also tell us what your sites or apps are for, and which industry they belong to?
2. What products or services will you be promoting?
Also, If you have a beta site that is accessible and or screenshots of the site content please share those as well.
Getting to know sending habits of our customers is one of the ways Postmark protects your sender reputation and our overall deliverability, so thank you for your assistance.
"
This is the world without decentralized reputation.
This is going to be massively worse in the upcoming years.
People are not at all prepared for the consequences of this, especially with AI now proliferating.
Trust is eroding. The centralized players haven't the faintest idea what to do about other than KYC the hell out of everyone.
Only #wot can save us now. Freedom tech or bust.

No, it's not just auth:
That's why I built Budabit.club , the events are still signed and moderation is a good feature for communities.
- Communities can be interoperable
- Signed events mean forking groups is actually feasible, no other solution has this kind of guarantee.
- You can still keep other things open, and not exclusive: BudaBit keeps code collab features scoped to repo relays (even comments on issues etc) but you have the exclusive group to share things you want to actually be heard targeted to an audience that is there for a good reason.

That looks great! Couple questions:
1. Why is my current nip60 wallet not showing by default?
2. Do you only persist the seed(xpriv) locally? If I go to another nip60 client, how is my wallet generating deterministic keys?
3. Where do the mint recommendations come from?

2026-02-23 08:06:38 CET

- reply

SatShoot uses them.
Good for zapping small amounts for sponsored npubs (after you made money as a freelancer you can zap a supported npub) and later could be used for paid services.
The hard parts about implementing them with decent ux:
1. You have to handle state management very well to display a stable balance, and it's also depending on relay stability.
2. In-flight tokens (aka minted but unclaimed nutzaps) are in danger of loss if recipient cannot find it on relays, is offline for a long time etc. Since sender cannot claim those back by default it's slightly risky
3. Mint selection/discovery is crucial and must be addressed in a decentralized way (i.e. personalized nostr-native recommendations)
How SatShoot solves these problems:
1. We introduced seed based recovery (NUT 13) to have a secondary recovery path if you lose nsec or relays screw you
2. We will soon implement NUT-11 to be able to reclaim your nutzaps after a certain time passes and recipient hasn't claimed
3. Web of Trust based mint exploration. Shows which mints are used by your WoT for nutzaps (nip61 kind 10019) and builds a list rank-ordered by how many ppl use a mint.
So it's doable but I haven't seen other clients implement them because this requires quite some work.
Some do use cashu but not as nutzaps but by sending tokens in encrypted DMs.
Not bad at all, I just think with nutzaps you have better guarantees of no double-spending and you can build better verifiable public reputation than with untrusted lightning zaps.
You can experiment on https://satshoot.com with the wallet but it's for freelance purposes so you can't just zap posts (there are no posts).

The layered and context-aware solution I believe works and is feasible already:
- It all starts with relays. They must mitigate basic spam. Clients can only filter after they download realistically.
- Clients calculate a naive web of trust and hide everything outside by default (toggle to see filtered content)
- Bootstrapper account helps with onboarding (can be switched off)
- NIP85 trusted providers and requests- response type of social graph services like Vertex help extending your basic wot. Explicit opt-in is better because they're trusted. Client-side wot helps choose a provider, you see which your closest circles use.
- Clients must get better at the trust UX - displaying connection to a pubkey in a compact, informative and context-aware way
The best way to bootstrap trust however is communities.
Everything would become much simpler, and all the rocket-science in the world can't substitute that. Hope they gain more ground.
Nostr is the right tool for the job I believe but a tool is just a tool: We must use it well to achieve substantial progress.

That's not quite accurate.
Dig deeper in the headlines you find quite a couple of caveats.
Coding is quite well solved for the most part with AI but working secure reliable software is not (yet). At least not without guidance. It's a sophisticated tool. A very good one.
Doesn't replace taste and values. Neither does it substitute for architectural and product thinking.
Excited to ship more with AI but the job loss narrative only applies to the proverbial code monkey.

I love that #SatShoot has a built-in #Cashu wallet. It is so much easier to pay sponsored npubs with nutzaps, and possibly pay for #Vertex later, and other #wot services.
However... paying for compute is one of the best use-cases of ecash imo. We will make CI/CD into a nostr-wide marketplace in #BudaBit, paid with ecash, for the exact amount of compute.
Marketplaces X Communities.

SatShoot is going to implement nip85 soon. I want to grab kind 10040 TA preference of a user and everything would be straightforward if ppl declare their providers.
Will see how the trust scores and metrics can be nicely fit into the ux.
This will decouple SatShoot from the wot service to a degree bc users seelect their own providers external to SatShoot.

2026-02-07 19:06:43 CET

How #Vertex is currently integrated in #SatShoot :
- Search bar that filters page content can be used to search profiles with Vertex
- Brand new pubkeys or pubkeys without vertex credits are sent to buy credits to vertex pricing page:
https://v.nostr.build/UJ08ZYQmpze1bt5I.mp4
- My account has by default some credit allowance and can use profile search as well as analyze profiles with Vertex: verifyReputation method:
https://v.nostr.build/P0icibyX3xfgmDxR.mp4
This is done with DVM-based query. It serves not to replace client-side #wot but to complement it. You want to know more about an npub you potentially want to make a deal with, you can use this to get to know better. Result is cached.
Then you might include this person to your web of trust by following and making a deal. That is how you expand your network and thus grow the business network of Nostr.

#Ecash fans alert!
We finally shipped NUT13 in SatShoot ecash wallet!
https://v.nostr.build/2QuGYPmwRAfsqFAW.mp4
What this means: This is the first nostr-based ecash wallet that is backed up by a seed as well.
You are double-protected: ecash is saved on relays, encrypted to your nsec, and additionally you have the seed backup.
Why big deal?
Ecash wallets on nostr have been notoriously unreliable, mostly due to relays and all sorts of state bugs. It is not easy to implement a stateful wallet and if the app loses state (i.e. your money) somehow, you were out of luck.
Your seed allows you to recover from state bugs or relay sync issues.
But at the end of the day your nsec serves as a backup if you lose your seed. That's the neat part.
Try it on https://satshoot.com
CAVEATS:
1. Due to an Amber bug the wallet will not work with amber remote signer. Only try with local key or browser extension login
2. Still experimental! Please don't use it for high amounts
3. Feedback welcome! You can try to deposit on a seed and recover from cashu.me or the other way round! Report bugs and such.
Bonus for the #wot lovers:
Now you can choose a mint based on recommendations from your nostr web of trust! (As shown in the video)
Ecash has two hard problems nostr can help with:
1. Discovery and reputation of mints: From explicit mint recommendations AND implicit nutzap info (which mints ppl want their nutzaps to be received) we can show the user mint usage from his own trusted network. This helps selecting mints for newbies or switch if mints get compromised.
2. Wallet portability: Thanks to nostr relays, your ecash should be synced to all devices. All you need is a nip60-capable nostr app.
Thanks to @nprofile…67u0 for the implementation of NUT13 on Nostr!

Do not underestimate client-side verification. Privacy also much harder with trusted WoT services.
WoT Providers should be optional and ancillary to client-side processing of events.
Also, do you think WoT is not portable when it is calculated client-side?
It is open-source code we are talking about. Anyone can use the same algo.
So:
1. Depends on requirements. Global is much faster and cheaper, but less about you. Should be left to the user. #Vertex does exactly this
2. Standardization I welcome. But there are trade-offs to third-party WoT see on top
3. Yes, user choice is welcome to the degree a non-technical user is NOT left to his own devices by default
4. Agree - privacy is most achievable with client-side calculations or self-hosted services which will be very niche

The same inherently insecure architecture that fiat money is.
Users take responsibility and bear consequences = insecure short term, secure longterm
Fiat institutions control almost everything giving little to no responsibility to users = secure short term, insecure longterm
Easy money + centrally controlled identity = weak society, no security, no trust, no abundance.
Hard money + cryptographic identity = strong individuals and society, security, high trust and prosperity

You can use any platform you want, even mirror between them but keep them redundant by publishing the state of branches, and other metadata to nostr.
By keeping the metadata on nostr you are not locked in to platform identites and the data is actually portable because it's standardized in a NIP.
Gitea, gitlab, github, forgejo and others give you one model that is hard to migrate and data is not signed by sovereig identities.
In short you are married to their way of things

The tools for this either exist or are easy to build.

Moderation tools exist for nostr relays already. You can blacklist/whitelist by kinds, pubkeys etc. and use all sorts of web of trust based moderation as well.
#WoT based moderation can be personalized so you can moderate even on an individual basis, seeing only those ppl you actually trust. WoT providers are also in progress to help in these kind of decisions.

2026-01-16 21:22:11 CET

For the source code part git is already decentralized enough, it is not worth trying to censor a repo cloned on tens of thousands of machines locally.
For the social part: censorship resistance is important but it can be a curse, like with radicle which cannot possibly get a decent UX.
As we see with bitcoin, we can hopefully keep one of the most important system decentralized while syncing state every 10 mins.
Nostr trades off with the possibility of centralization around one or a handful of relays, but at the same time it is trivial to backup the already signed messages which are republished any time, anywhere.
Nostr is the practical solution to this problem in my opinion.

@nprofile…y7h4 saw yall takin a look at decentralized git solutions and github replacement on bitcoin core discussion:
https://bitcoin-irc.chaincode.com/bitcoin-core-dev/2026-01-16
Here's a couple of sources and Nostr-based solutions you could give a try:
- NIP34 spec: https://nips.nostr.com/34
- GitHub-like client: https://gitworkshop.dev
- Discord/Slack type of client with Git-integration: https://budabit.club
- ... and some others, so there's quite some effort to make code collab work with Nostr
- The grasp spec is also interesting, it is a git server with nostr-native auth, designed to be easy-to-run and to accept code collab oriented nostr events, so a relay is packaged with it:
https://ngit.dev/grasp/
Grasp is the grug-brain solution to what radicle is trying to do for years but I think this has much better chance to work.
Why nostr?
Because it is more decentralized yet much simpler than Fediverse / Mastodon and Bluesky.
All above solutions lack full functionality compared to github but hopefully you can see where this is going.
It is trivial to moderate your relay, be it comments or any other events. Nostr-git is becoming increasingly standardized so your data is portable and signed.
Open to any questions!

#Vertex is now integrated in #SatShoot :
https://v.nostr.build/TPbZFDTdP5fotNgs.webm
- Uses 'verifyReputation' with personalized pagerank, and gets top 5 followers
- Displays if current user follows any of the top 5
- Result is cached and user can refresh data on demand
Users must currently top up their Vertex account credits after they use up the free credits. SatShoot cannot sign requests on behalf of users at the moment, and I don't know if I want to do that.
It would mean I need a premium subscription system instead of #V4V business model
I think as soon as @nprofile…mwqz implements a way to programatically top up Vertex accounts, that will be the direction. Users can then buy Vertex credits from inside SatShoot.

Value for value needs to incorporate (optional) vanity/status based features to go mainstream. In a way that already happened but we can do much better.
1. Data that's not taken from the past 15-20 years of high internet adoption doesn't matter too much
2. Ads vs. V4V doesn't need to be contrasted sharply: if I showcase the top zappers or make up some other leaderboard of zaps, is that advertising? Yes, to some degree but not totally.
3. What we really have established is that attention is valuable. 'What *kind* of attention?' - is a better question to ask. The flip side of this from v4v perspective is that donating without getting attention and acknowledgement back doesn't work very well
4. So what Adam Curry says about "You just need to ask often" is not enough, you need to do shoutouts, leaderboards, publish summaries, and generally do everything you can to make donors feel special and raise their status. No way around that if you want to take this seriously.
5. Yes, it is hard to do the core thing and this other promo thing too, but that's the way it is. The internet allows more publishing so creators need to stand out by being unique in their craft and also make that obvious, and get creative not merely in the product itself but how it is received. That's not unfair, that is competition
6. Are software developers the same kind of creators as musicians, podcasters, or long-form authors? Don't think so, and there are different nuances people can try to make this work.
The big picture in my book is that this topic is not settled by far. We just need to get more creative.

If #ecash wants wide adoption, users will need easy discovery of trustworthy mints, even niche ones, serving local communities.
This discovery cannot rely on centralized parties, the obvious and only choice currently is Nostr #WoT .
It is to verify not just that mints haven't rugged yet, Nostr can provide data on:
- Uptime Reliability
- Zap volume
- Data on all audits so far
- ... and kinds of signals of trust
Of course this can be provided live which comes very handy!
This way new users can discover possible new mints and make responsible decisions which to trust.
On the other hand, current users are the watchful eyes over them, vigilantly enforcing the trust that mints were given.
Bitcoiners often make the mistake of only thinking in terms of one system, one protocol, or maybe bitcoin and its layer 2s at most.
What nostr brings to the table is a social protocol orthogonal to others like payment-protocols but very much complementary.
Ecash has trust issues, and Nostr mitigates these in a simple way.
Never underestimate the power of the authentic social layer, tied together by cryptographic proof.

To end this year in proper PoW fashion I implemented #WoT indicators on Avatars in #SatShoot :
https://v.nostr.build/aOFw1jZwh95FMOXJ.mp4
The circle-borders indicate who's part of your WoT and who's outside. Profile pages show more info and explain in a tooltip.
"Blocking" actually uses kind 10k mutelist to make use of already gathered mutes in SatShoot.
You probably don't want to engage in business with explicitly muted ppl.
Next up: On Service and Job feed pages user will be able to toggle WoT filtering.
The philosophy of SatShoot is that we whitelist and everyone else shows up as "untrusted" and hidden from feeds by default.
This however hurts exploration for new users so there are ways we encourage forming of new relationships:
- DMs and "Freelance follows" punch through WoT filtering
- We encourage sharing of jobs/services via kind1 and URL copying, this can land users on profile pages and job/service landing pages where WoT filtering is not applied
- Search bar also accepts any job/service/user
- If you submit a Bid/Order and you don't follow the target, you are prompted to do so
- Toggling the WoT filter will encourage exploration as well
So heavy filtering is applied but in the end there are plenty of mechanics for users to connect.
Soon I will also implement #Vertex for SatShoot users to gain even more info on "Untrusted" users.
Note: WoT affects visibility and is the filter for events used in Reputation calculation.
Reputation in SatShoot consists of Zaps (money paid as client or received as freelancer) and average ratings from Reviews. It is strictly contextual to freelancing, e.g. zaps on posts don't matter.
WoT is to get on the radar of minimally trusted users.
Reputation matters to actually make a deal.
Will submit the full implementation with Vertex to the #WoTathon and see what others have to say!

What if the relay has an outdated record? In a multiple-relay scenario the client might have the latest state synchronized from multiple relays, but the relay that has outdated info will not allow "force push".
Otherwise can you explain how a nip60 wallet get rekt exactly from a race condition? Token events are not replaceable.
I found these scenarios to be problematic:
- relays deleting token events
- app not being able to publish new token events (signing and publishing are async), especially nutzaps
- nutzaps getting lost on relays
- spent tokens disrupting user-experience (unexpected change in balance)
So state management is an issue with Nostr wallets, and precisely that is why SatShoot went the NUT13 (and perhaps later NUT14) way - with the seed based wallets you get double protection:
1. Nostr stores your state on relays so even if you lose the seed you can swap to a different one. Mitigates losing local state as well
2. The NUT13 seed protects from relays deleting, censoring or losing your nsec - an additional hedge on nostr state. Like a recovery code to an account. @nprofile…twvn extended the nip60 spec so the NUT13 counter can also be synchronized to nostr.
NUT14 is important because it makes in-flight payment state atomic. If the nutzap is not redeemed the money is not lost.
Sadly, I haven't found well-maintained apps with nip60-61. A few apps use it with outdated specs and none of them work with the latest spec, using both nip60 and 61, other than #SatShoot

Good idea!
We can add this with a feature flag to start experimenting where it would fit in the user experience - perhaps a tab under the repos.
We can then make kanban boards available on the test page.
I know some people love kanban boards but I tend to either use issues OR kanban to keep things simple. Often I see if both are present, it becomes a bureaucratic double accounting.

When I found Bitcoin, I was mostly alone with my thoughts and my plans to reorient my life around PoW and decentralization.
I've always been fond of doing things in a community though, so when I learned there were no active meetups in Hungary I started one.
Now that's officially part of the "twentyone" family of meetups:
https://portal.huszonegy.world/hu/meetup/budabit-cypherpunk-meetup .
Thanks for the awesome website @nprofile…9lpv !
But to me who is working on freedom tech full time, a monthly meetup still wasn't enough:
I started #BudaBit for all builders and aspiring devs in freedom tech to connect, share and collaborate like never before.
It is an attempt to transcend the platform model for open-source development, and bring it to the next level: Community driven development, powered by Nostr.
BudaBit Demo Day is part of that plan:
What I've found on my journey is that feedback is essential to the process, and it is not easy to find people who get it and can provide valuable feedback.
If you're a builder in freedom tech, this event is for you! Go to https://budabit.club for details!

Sure, in your case because you designed it that way.
I can imagine a service that queries some data from another service as _part_ of the end result, but the user is hitting your endpoint.
Anyway, what you *can* do with nostr is hitting any service with *any* pubkey - meaning you can decide to pay for your users or make your users pay for it directly, or some other clever combination.
IP addresses don't give you that freedom - it is not a good idea to use them as identity on the internet, so you see most paid services requiring an account.
Nostr could be that account.

Of course you want to present your best case to get back a valuable account. There's nothing surprising here.
The problem is when people start accepting bullshit harmful narratives like "There's no smoke without fire" or "He really shouldn't have pissed them off now he ruffled too many feathers".
... and get back to business as usual. Stories like this point to important truths about the current reality: We are controlled and this could happen to anyone, REGARDLESS of what he did.

Like that idea.
More power to you!
The more options the better, and I think in the long run if any of the clients are successful they will have some kind of native app.
The web has its limits and is really bloated indeed.
For me it's just a problem above ca 10k users. It's cheaper, faster and easier distribution on the web today.

2025-12-13 20:17:07 CET

I can relate to that btw.
But here's the thing:
Once I learned how easy it is to censor native app distribution I realized I won't put my efforts into a project to then have a petty bureaucrat at google or apple gatekeep my app.

@nprofile…xytq fountain subs are buggy.
You say sub from $5 (5.530 sats) which is then converted to $55.30 incorrectly and that amount is calculated in sats (61.162) .
This is a serious bug fix it soon.
