I am not pro argumenting for tether from a personal stand. I am saying Bitcoin is nothing you can deploy your Fiat on and spread it to the world. You basically have no controll over monetary system.

If you spread your inflation and currency monopoly trough (as today) a well settled stablecoin like tether it's way more controll for you as a gov.

As well, look at what tether is backed with. Its a circle jerk win for the USD.

Means even if the CCP is banning USD (for whatever reason), the people in China will be able to transact within the USD trough tether. At least some. So a cancelation of using the USD is not possible for nearly 100%

You Already Did the Hard Part

Running a mint is not trivial. You set up the server. You connected a Lightning backend. You manage liquidity, uptime, backups. You deal with the stuff most people never think about.

And what do you get for it? A handful of users sending ecash between wallets.

That is fine. But you built more than a wallet backend. You built infrastructure. Real, working, Lightning-connected infrastructure. And right now, most of that capacity sits idle.

NUTbits Puts Your Mint to Work

NUTbits connects your mint to the NWC protocol. That single connection opens the door to every app that speaks Nostr Wallet Connect. LNbits is the big one. Sixty-plus extensions. Multi-tenant accounts. Point of sale. Lightning addresses. NFC cards. Tipping pages. Invoicing. All of it, powered by ecash from your mint.

You do not need to run a Lightning node yourself. Your mint already talks to Lightning. NUTbits just translates that into a language the rest of the ecosystem understands.

You Control Everything

Every NWC connection you hand out is scoped. You decide the spending limit. You decide the fee. You decide who gets access and for how long.

Want to give a friend unlimited access? Do it. Want to sell capped connections at 1% fee to strangers? Do that too. Want to run a whole LNbits instance for your local community and fund it entirely from your mint? Nothing stops you.

This is not someone else's platform. There is no dashboard you log into. No approval process. No terms of service that change on a Tuesday. You run NUTbits on your machine, pointed at your mint, with your rules.

The Freelancer Math

Say you charge a 1% service fee. Someone routes 100,000 sats through your bridge today. That is 1,000 sats. Not life-changing. But it is yours. And it came from infrastructure you already operate.

Scale that to ten connections. Twenty. A small community. A merchant. A developer who needs a test backend. The numbers start to matter. Not because any single connection is huge, but because the cost of serving them is close to zero. Your mint is already running. NUTbits just opens more doors to it.

You are not building a startup. You are monetizing infrastructure you already paid for.

What This Looks Like in Practice

You run a mint. You install NUTbits. You create a connection string. You paste that into LNbits as a funding source. Done.

From that moment, every wallet and extension inside that LNbits instance settles through your mint. Ecash goes in, Lightning comes out. The people using LNbits do not know ecash is involved. They just see a working wallet.

And you see sats flowing through your infrastructure, with a cut that you defined.

No Gatekeepers

Nobody can shut this down. Your mint is yours. NUTbits is open source, running on your hardware. The NWC relay is a Nostr relay. The whole stack is sovereign, all the way down.

If your current hosting goes away, you move it. If a relay goes down, you switch. If you want to change your fee structure at 3am on a Sunday, you do. There is no ticket to file. No support chat. No waiting.

This is what self-sovereign infrastructure actually feels like when it works.

Start Small

You do not need to plan a business around this. Start with one connection. Give it to yourself. Use it with LNbits. Watch the sats flow through. Understand how it feels.

Then give one to a friend. Then maybe sell one. See what happens.

The mint is already running. NUTbits just asks: what else can it do?

The NIP Problem

Every Nostr app starts simple. You need events, keys, and a relay connection. Any library can do that.

Then your app grows. You need encrypted DMs. You need zaps. You need relay list management. You need calendar events for that community feature someone requested. You need badge verification for that trust system you're building.

Each NIP is a separate capability. In most ecosystems, that means a separate dependency, or implementing it yourself from the spec. You end up with a patchwork of libraries at different versions with different conventions, or a growing folder of hand-rolled protocol code.

One Package, Forty-Eight NIPs

#NostrCore ships forty-eight NIP implementations in a single package. Not wrappers around other libraries. Not partial implementations. Complete, typed modules that work together.

Here's a sample of what's available by category:

Core protocol: NIP-01 events, NIP-02 contact lists, NIP-09 deletions, NIP-10 threads, NIP-13 proof of work, NIP-42 relay auth

Identity: NIP-05 DNS verification, NIP-06 mnemonic keys, NIP-07 browser extensions, NIP-19 bech32 encoding, NIP-46 remote signers

Encryption: NIP-04 (AES-CBC), NIP-44 (ChaCha20-Poly1305), NIP-59 gift wrapping, NIP-17 private messages

Social: NIP-18 reposts, NIP-22 comments, NIP-23 long-form content, NIP-25 reactions, NIP-27 text references, NIP-28 channels, NIP-29 groups

Payments: NIP-47 wallet connect, NIP-57 zaps, NIP-75 zap goals, Lightning addresses, LNURL, fiat conversion

Lists & metadata: NIP-24 extended metadata, NIP-30 custom emoji, NIP-31 alt text, NIP-36 content warnings, NIP-40 expiration, NIP-51 lists, NIP-65 relay lists

Community: NIP-52 calendar events, NIP-56 reporting, NIP-58 badges

Infrastructure: NIP-11 relay info, NIP-48 proxy, NIP-50 search, NIP-98 HTTP auth

Every module exports typed functions. Every function produces valid Nostr events. Every event works with the relay and signer abstractions in the same package.

Why This Matters

No version conflicts. When NIP-57 zaps need NIP-01 events and NIP-19 encoding, they're all at the same version, built from the same types. No compatibility matrix to manage.

Discoverability. Need calendar events? It's nip52. Need badges? It's nip58. The naming is the NIP number. You don't search npm for "nostr calendar" and hope you find a maintained package.

Composability. NIPs reference each other constantly. Gift wrapping (NIP-59) uses encryption (NIP-44). Zaps (NIP-57) use events and encoding. Private lists (NIP-51) use encryption for private items. When these all live in one package, composition is natural, not an integration project.

Tree-shaking. ESM-only means your bundler only includes what you import. Using three NIPs? You ship three NIPs. The other forty-five don't touch your bundle.

What "Protocol Complete" Means

It means you can build any Nostr application from a single dependency. A social client. A wallet. A relay management tool. A marketplace. A calendar app. A badge system. A community platform.

It also means when a new feature requires a NIP you haven't used yet, you don't go shopping for a new library. You add an import line.
// Today: social client
import { finalizeEvent, nip10, nip25, Relay } from 'nostr-core'

// Tomorrow: add zaps
import { finalizeEvent, nip10, nip25, nip57, NWC, Relay } from 'nostr-core'

// Next week: add calendar events
import { finalizeEvent, nip10, nip25, nip57, nip52, NWC, Relay } from 'nostr-core'
Same package. Same types. Same patterns. Your dependency list doesn't grow with your feature set.

Not Every NIP Is Finished

Nostr is an evolving protocol. Some NIPs are stable and battle-tested. Others are newer, still being refined by the community. nostr-core tracks the specs as they develop.

If a NIP changes, nostr-core updates. One package to update, one changelog to read, one set of breaking changes to handle. That's simpler than tracking fifteen separate libraries.

The Alternative

You could assemble your own stack. Pick a core library for events. Find a separate package for NIP-44 encryption. Another for NIP-19 encoding. Write your own NIP-52 calendar implementation because nobody published one. Hope they all use compatible types.

That works. People do it. But it's more work, more risk, and more maintenance for the same result.

Or you can install nostr-core and start building.

Forty-eight NIPs. One package. Zero assembly required.

quoting naddr1qq…xlr2

The Problem Is Familiar

You've seen Nostr. You like the idea: decentralized social, payments over Lightning, identity without platforms. You want to build something.

So you look at the ecosystem. There are libraries, but they tend to fall into two camps: minimal utilities that leave you wiring things together yourself, or vendor-specific SDKs that come with someone else's opinions baked in.

You just want the protocol. All of it. In one package. With types.

That's nostr-core

nostr-core is a JavaScript/TypeScript toolkit that implements 48 NIPs in a single package. Core protocol, encryption, encoding, social features, payments, identity, calendar events, badges, moderation. It's all there.

One install. One import. The protocol is ready to use.
import { NWC, nip19, finalizeEvent, Relay } from 'nostr-core'
That gives you wallet payments, bech32 encoding, event signing, and relay connections. No glue code. No adapter packages. No "install these seven other things first."

Who It's For

Developers building Nostr applications. That's broad on purpose.

If you're building a social client, you need events, reactions, reposts, threads, long-form content, encrypted DMs, relay management. nostr-core has all of that.

If you're building a payment flow, you need NWC, Lightning addresses, zaps, invoices, fiat conversion. nostr-core has all of that too.

If you're building something weird that touches badges and calendar events and proof of work? Still covered.

The point is: whatever combination of NIPs your app needs, they're already here, already typed, already working together.

What It's Built On

The cryptography comes from Paul Miller's noble libraries, the same audited primitives the wider Bitcoin ecosystem trusts. secp256k1, schnorr signatures, SHA-256, ChaCha20, AES-CBC. Peer-reviewed, minimal, no surprises.

The rest is protocol implementation. Each NIP is its own module, but they share types and compose naturally. NIP-59 gift wrapping uses NIP-44 encryption. NIP-57 zaps use events and relays. Everything connects because it was designed to.

What It Doesn't Do

nostr-core is headless. No UI components, no framework bindings, no opinions about how your app should look or work. It gives you the protocol layer and gets out of the way.

It also doesn't phone home, require API keys, or depend on any specific service. It connects to whatever relays you point it at, signs with whatever keys you give it, and talks to whatever NWC wallet you configure.

If your app needs React components or a specific hosting platform, that's your call. nostr-core just handles the Nostr part.

The Shape of the API

The high-level entry point is the NWC class. One connection string, and you have a working wallet interface. Pay invoices, create invoices, check balances, listen for payments.

Below that, everything is exported as building blocks. Key generation, event signing, relay connections, encryption, encoding. Use the high-level class or reach for the primitives directly. Both paths are supported and typed.
// High level
const nwc = new NWC('nostr+walletconnect://...')
await nwc.connect()
await nwc.payInvoice('lnbc...')

// Low level
const sk = generateSecretKey()
const event = finalizeEvent({ kind: 1, content: 'hello', ... }, sk)
Try It
npm install nostr-core
Node 18+, Deno, Bun, Cloudflare Workers. ESM-only, tree-shakeable, fully typed.

Read the code, check the types, build something. The protocol is ready when you are.

Nsec Remote Nostr Signer Review:

https://shop.lnbits.com/product/nsec-remote-nostr-signer

I have been testing this device since October 25, 2025.

nostr: nevent1q…yz8s

Personally, I find that the device itself is problematic and can “freeze,” simply stopping working 😅.
But I noticed that all you need to do is restart the device and everything goes back to normal.
That's why I added a remote power switch to the set. Now, when I see that the device stops responding, I simply restart it remotely.

Overall, I can recommend this device for advanced users who can deal with device freezes.

Introducing Nostr-Core - your new favorite to built on Nostr

https://primal.net/a/

quoting
naddr1qq…zgth

We built nostr-core so developers can focus on what they’re building instead of constantly wrestling with the details of the Nostr protocol.

If you’ve ever tried building something on Nostr, you probably know the feeling.

You start with a simple idea. Maybe it’s a social client, a marketplace, a tipping page, or something completely new. You open your editor, sketch out the feature you want to build, and then reality kicks in.

Within an hour you’re buried in protocol details. Event signing. Bech32 encoding. Shared secret derivation. Relay message parsing. Wallet Connect encryption.

And you still haven’t written a single line of the actual application you wanted to build.

At some point you realize you're not building your product anymore. You're implementing the protocol.

We’ve been there more times than we can count. Every new project started the same way: copy-pasting cryptographic helpers from old codebases, re-implementing the same NIPs, rediscovering the same edge cases, and debugging the same subtle issues again and again.

Eventually it became obvious that the ecosystem needed something simpler.

So we built nostr-core.

A Small Library That Handles the Hard Parts

nostr-core is an open-source JavaScript and TypeScript library that focuses purely on the protocol layer.

The goal isn’t to provide a full framework or dictate how applications should be built. Instead, it provides a clean and minimal interface to the core pieces every Nostr application needs: working with events, handling keys and signing, performing encryption, and interacting with Lightning through Wallet Connect.

Under the hood it relies on audited noble cryptography libraries and avoids pulling in unnecessary dependencies. There are no opinions about frameworks, state management, UI layers, or architecture.

It simply gives you the primitives required to speak the Nostr protocol safely and correctly.

Everything else is up to you.

Why We Took a Different Approach

A lot of existing Nostr libraries try to do everything.

They bundle relay pools, caching layers, subscription managers, event stores, UI bindings, and sometimes half a framework’s worth of abstractions. That can be convenient if you want exactly that stack, but it becomes painful when you only need a small piece of functionality.

If all you want to do is sign an event or decode an npub, you shouldn’t need to pull in a dependency tree large enough to inflate your bundle size or complicate audits.

nostr-core was intentionally designed in the opposite direction.

The library is small. The codebase is compact enough that you can realistically read through it in an afternoon and understand how everything works. There are only a handful of modules, and the dependency list is intentionally minimal.

In practice that means no unexpected runtime surprises, no deep chains of transitive dependencies, and no moments where you wonder why a tiny feature suddenly added megabytes to your build.

You import what you need, and the rest stays out of your application.

What nostr-core Handles Today

At its core, the library implements the fundamental mechanics of Nostr.

It can create, hash, sign, and verify events according to NIP-01, which forms the basis of everything else in the protocol. Signing is handled through a flexible abstraction that works with raw secret keys, browser extensions that implement NIP-07, and remote signing systems like nsecBunker via NIP-46. Switching between these approaches doesn’t require changing the rest of your application logic.

Encryption support covers both generations of Nostr messaging: the legacy NIP-04 AES scheme as well as the newer NIP-44 ChaCha20 construction with padding. Both operate through the same signer interface so developers don’t need to worry about the details of key agreement or cipher selection.

Private messaging is implemented using the modern NIP-17 model along with NIP-59 gift wrapping, which adds sender anonymity and better metadata protection.

The library also handles all NIP-19 bech32 encoding and decoding, making it straightforward to work with npubs, nsecs, notes, nprofiles, events, and addressable identifiers without constantly reimplementing encoding logic.

On the Lightning side, nostr-core includes a full client implementation for Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP-47). It can send payment requests, create invoices, check balances, perform keysend payments, retrieve transaction histories, and subscribe to payment notifications. It automatically detects whether the connected wallet uses NIP-04 or NIP-44 encryption.

For convenience, it also supports Lightning Address resolution, allowing applications to turn a simple name@domain identifier into a payable BOLT-11 invoice with a single call.

And since many payment interfaces need it, the library includes utilities for converting between satoshis and fiat currencies such as USD or EUR.

All of this ships as modern ESM modules and is fully tree-shakeable, meaning only the code you actually import ends up in your bundle.

Who This Is For

nostr-core is meant for developers working in JavaScript or TypeScript who want to integrate Nostr or Lightning without rebuilding the protocol stack from scratch.

That includes people building web clients, backend services, bots, payment widgets, or experimental tools. It works just as well in browsers, Node environments, Deno scripts, and mobile frameworks like React Native.

The guiding idea is simple: someone building a tipping widget shouldn’t need to understand the intricacies of elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman key derivation. A team building a messaging client shouldn’t spend their first development sprint implementing gift-wrap cryptography.

Those problems are already solved.

nostr-core just makes the solutions easy to use. Browse our documentation to get started.

What Comes Next

The current version focuses on the core infrastructure needed for building Nostr applications, but there is plenty more on the roadmap.

Future additions include support for threading and replies, reactions, long-form content events, relay management, follow lists, zaps, badges, and broader LNURL functionality.

The project is developed completely in the open, and contributions are welcome.

You can follow development, browse issues, or jump in and contribute here:

Or you can simply install the library and start building something new. https://www.npmjs.com/package/nostr-core

Why I Built Nostr KeyGen

Over the past months, I kept running into the same small problem: I often needed new Nostr accounts.

Sometimes I was developing a feature and needed a quick test identity. Other times I wanted to show a friend how Nostr works, and I didn’t want to confuse them with too many technical steps. And then there were moments when I just wanted to spin up a fresh identity without having to install yet another client app.

The more I worked with Nostr, the more I realized:

There was no lightweight, no-nonsense tool just for creating identities… or at least I didn’t find one 🙄

So I built one myself.

That’s how Nostr KeyGen was born.

The Problem I Wanted to Solve

There are some great clients, polished apps, and entire ecosystems being built. But when it came to just generating a keypair, I kept hitting friction.

Developers often want throwaway keys to test new ideas.

Non-technical people want to see how easy it can be without installing a full-blown client.

And sometimes you just want to own your keys in multiple formats — npub, nsec, hex — without juggling confusing tools.

What was missing was a bridge: a tool that was simple enough for curious newcomers and flexible enough for developers.

Two Paths: Python Script & Webapp

That’s why I ended up creating two flavors of Nostr KeyGen.

1. The Python Script

👉 Nostr_Key_Generator on GitHub

https://github.com/DoktorShift/images/blob/main/keygen_python.png?raw=true

A lightweight, dependency-free script that runs locally:

No external libraries

No clipboard hacks

No hidden complexity

Just a clean menu that lets you generate, view, and export your keys. It also includes a format converter - so you can switch between npub, nsec, and raw hex.

This version is perfect for tinkerers and developers who want something trustworthy they can run on their own machine.

2. The Webapp

👉 nostrid.mybuho.de

https://github.com/DoktorShift/images/blob/main/Preview_KeyGen.png?raw=true

A one-click web interface for creating a Nostr identity, built with the NostrTools library.

It’s designed for the people I often introduce to Nostr: friends, family, colleagues. Instead of sending them to GitHub or asking them to install something, I can just point them to this simple page:

Generate a fresh Nostr identity in seconds

Save a backup safely

Set up your basic profile

That way, non-technical people can experience the magic of Nostr without getting lost in the details.

Why This Matters to Me

For me, Nostr KeyGen is about accessibility. I wanted a tool that serves two audiences:

Developers, who sometimes need 10 test accounts in five minutes

Non-technical people, who just need to see how easy and fast Nostr identity creation really is

Building this wasn’t about adding yet another client to the ecosystem. It was about creating something minimal and transparent.

Because Nostr, at its core, is about empowerment. Your keys = your identity. And creating them shouldn’t feel intimidating.

Try It Yourself

Python Script → Nostr_Key_Generator on GitHub

Webapp → nostrid.mybuho.de

Both versions are lightweight, safe, and designed to be approachable — whether you’re writing code or just curious.

Final Thoughts

I built Nostr KeyGen because I kept running into the same small but important need: a fast, simple, and trustworthy way to create Nostr identities.

It started as a tool for myself, but it quickly became something I now share with others - developers, friends, and anyone who wants to explore.

Sometimes, the best tools aren’t the most complex. They’re the ones that remove obstacles and make the basics effortless.
