This image is slightly outdated, but it’s still a good representation of how our payment verification works, including built-in splits and referrals.
Think of it like signing a contract with our tiny backend before paying for an event. It attests what you’re purchasing and sends back a signed contract. After payment, you provide proof that the token was spent. We cross-check that against the contract, and if everything matches, you get the decryption key.
We’re also experimenting with open web-of-trust systems, particularly those being built by the Nostr community. We’re open to letting authors decide which mints they trust, and our system can adapt around that.
There’s also a key recovery mechanism if a key gets leaked. It’s still being developed, but it already works. Key derivation itself is deterministic based on the event, its author, and a specialized tag, while our backend only holds half of the secret.
Eventually, we want to expose all of this through an API so paid content can be integrated across applications. And what if that API could be self-hosted on a $2.50 ESP32?
We know we’ll make mistakes and there will be trade-offs along the way, but we’ll do our best. Feel free to ask me anything about it. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/65c18dc63fc62f60e70c2441c5d0d6f9c5c93c7ed6f6d7300320082d5b6298e4.jpeg

This is where the Fanfares architecture gets really interesting.
We use Nostr, relays, and Cashu for most of the heavy lifting. Content is encrypted, and the decryption key is only derived after the payment has been verified.
With Cashu, that verification can be extremely lightweight. Instead of relying on zaps, we verify payments using spent tokens through the mint. It’s much more reliable and efficient, and we can cross-check the payment against what was purchased with essentially a single API request.
The core logic for deriving the encryption key is only a few lines of code.
That makes the ESP32 a surprisingly good candidate for running it.
It costs around $2.50, has Wi-Fi built in, and is powerful enough to run this tiny server. We could even build a simple tool that flashes and configures the ESP32 for you in one-click.
Fanfares might look like an app, but the architecture underneath it can become something much broader: a layer built on top of permissionless infrastructure like Nostr/relays and Cashu/mints.
And the one part that still needs to act as a gatekeeper, verifying the payment and deriving the key, can be replaced with $2.50 ESP32 sitting on your desk.
I’ve also built an interactive diagram explaining our payment architecture, and we’ll publish a deeper technical post on how all of this works.

I’ve been part of the core Fanfares team for more than a year now.
There’s so much cool stuff we’ve built, and so much I’ve wanted to talk about. I went through a lot personally this year, so I wasn’t able to share nearly as much as I wanted to. But behind the scenes, we kept building together.
Fanfares has come a long way.
We now have on-device media processing and encryption, split payments powered by Cashu, Blossom support, and an architecture built on top of Nostr.
And one of my favorite parts: the backend is lightweight enough to be hosted on a $2.50 ESP32 board.
A lot went into getting here. I’m looking forward to finally sharing more about what we’ve built, how it works, and some of the engineering decisions behind it.

A month ago, I lost my mom to cancer. In the span of one year, I lost both of my parents.
I left home when I was 14, and for the last 11 years, there wasn’t a single day when my mom didn’t call me. Now whole days pass in complete silence. I still catch myself expecting her call, and then I remember it will never come. I don’t know how to put that loneliness into words.

When I was 16, I got a Royal Enfield Desert Storm 500cc. I absolutely loved it and rode it everywhere. Then I got into an accident. I was covered in scratches, but my helmet and riding gloves probably saved me from much worse injuries. After that, I never got back on a bike. Now I only drive cars.

Yeah, I think hatred toward obese people is definitely playing a part there. It started as a pushback against the glamorization of obesity through magazine covers and all that, which was completely justified. But hating obese people as a whole is equally wrong, in my opinion.

I don’t know much about the effects in that particular area. Are there any peer-reviewed research papers I could read about it?

2026-06-02 18:35:05 UTC

I completely agree. As far as I know, the effects are often temporary if someone stops taking the medication and returns to their previous lifestyle. In many cases, people regain a significant amount of the weight they lost.

That’s also my understanding of it. I’ve heard some people say it reduces cravings, long-term studies are still needed, but I really hope it works without some major side-effects

That’s actually a fair point. As far as I know, there’s no reliable way to predict long-term side effects without studying it for a long time.

2026-06-02 18:09:23 UTC

I know people who have used it. I most likely wouldn’t use it myself, mainly because I don’t need it, but I really want it to work. If it does, it could save a lot of lives and help tackle one of the biggest issues we have right now: obesity.
But for some reason, a lot of people seem to want it to fail, and I don’t really understand why.

To be honest, after I posted that, I spent some time thinking about it. I think it's true to some extent, but there are a lot of situations where it doesn't really hold up.
What if someone is dealing with a chronic illness that has no cure? Or any number of circumstances that are completely outside their control? I'm not sure intelligence is the right measure in those cases.
If I could go back, I probably wouldn't have posted it. At the very least, I'd have phrased it differently.

I watched the video of that young man from the UK who was stabbed. His attacker called the police and accused him of racism. When the police arrived, they handcuffed the young man while he was bleeding to death. He died at the scene while the officers were reading him his rights.

Maybe you can use this app. It lets you fetch your Nostr data from all the relays where it's stored. You can keep a local backup and rebroadcast it to any relay whenever you want. That significantly reduces the chances of losing your data.
And even if something does go wrong, there's a good chance you'll be able to recover it. If you have a downloaded copy of your Nostr data, you can always publish it again to your existing relays or migrate it to a completely new set of relays.

I've been on a carnivore diet for about a week now, mainly to cut weight.

I was setting up Blastr for myself & noticed it doesn’t seem to be working as intended.
From what I can tell, it’s only publishing events to the 2 or 3 hardcoded relays. The API it uses to fetch the full list of online relays appears to be deprecated.
I’ve already fixed it locally and could send a quick PR for it. I was just wondering: is Blastr still maintained, and are any of you still using it?

This time, my philosophy for building on Nostr is simple: work on projects that I would genuinely use myself.

This is a really interesting concept. The WebView mode worked perfectly during my testing.
The only odd thing I noticed was when using the browser mode. Once the app was pushed into the background, it looked like the server stopped responding. It might be related to foreground service behavior or Android background process limitations, but that's just a guess at this point.
Overall, I think this is a great idea and the implementation is impressive. Nice work.
By the way, this was the error i saw during page navigation, homepage loaded fine. On webview, I didn't see any issue. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/fb6fcea532340fe6349c54c03b396061fb85d1cc53ba29b5ecc0fee43611e524.jpeg

The collaboration system is not just end-to-end encrypted. It is also gift-wrapped, which helps conceal metadata and makes it much harder for observers to figure out who is collaborating with whom.

Right now, collaborators are assigned random colors automatically. Allowing users to pick their own colors is definitely something I can add, that should be a easy one, first I wanted to get the core collaboration workflow working.
The app itself is built around an offline-first architecture. Nostr primarily acts as a synchronization layer and will also power the collaborative editing features.
When you save a note, it is saved locally on the device and published to relays at the same time.

Next week we have a really huge fanfares.io release coming, and I’m genuinely excited about it. I don’t want to spoil anything yet, but it’s shaping up to be one of our biggest updates so far in terms of features.
And the funny thing is, the update after that is even bigger.
Lots of exciting things ahead.

My biggest concern is longevity. If the phone eventually dies, I could lose all the CDN data on it. Of course, that risk exists with almost any storage system, though my NAS at least has RAID which gives some psychological comfort.

Something I wanted to build for myself, but I think some of you might also like it.
Nostr Keep: it's like Google Keep, except your notes are encrypted on-device before being published to Nostr relays instead of being stored on Google’s servers.
It is designed to be offline-first, with Nostr mainly used for syncing notes across devices and possibly collaboration features in the future.
Hopefully I’ll publish it publicly on Nsite sometime this weekend.

In the pyrite community we refer to gold as "fool's pyrite"

Thanks to your feedback, I optimized it even further.
Tested on one of my old iPhone with 36k events loaded. No crashes, no stuttering.
Also improved the UI to make it cleaner and more compact.

It now supports audio, video, and image compression, and also strips sensitive metadata.
You can install it as a PWA, so it works like a native app. Next step is hosting it on Nostr relays and Blossom using Nsite.

The idea that systems like MRI or radiotherapy machines could be running on “vibe-coding” systems is genuinely unsettling to me.

That isn’t implemented yet, but I’ll work on it soon. I just need to be careful to strip only sensitive metadata, since some non-sensitive fields might still be needed by Blossom.

Thanks for sharing. This means I should make metadata removal more selective, stripping sensitive fields while preserving non-sensitive data, in line with Blossom’s recommendations.

Yes, you can do that. And also if I’m not wrong nostr.build does actually strip that data, right?

2026-05-05 04:43:21 UTC

Fun fact: posting photos with metadata intact can leak your exact location.
If a CDN doesn’t explicitly strip it, images from iPhones and other devices may include GPS data and device details.
I’ll expand this app, so you can handle metadata removal locally without relying on CDN for that.

Thanks for sharing it. I will take a look into it.

You can also look into this, it should give you a good understanding of how this exactly works

If you need some more details on how to integrate this, let me know. I can share some more technical details with you.

My setup runs entirely on-device and doesn’t rely on any third-party servers. Any web client can implement this.
Previously, the common approach was to use FFmpeg, which requires downloading a ~40MB WASM package and is significantly slower. In comparison, this approach using built-in WebCodecs is much faster, up to 67x in my tests, and simpler to integrate.
I know Amethyst also supports compression, though I’m not sure which package or approach it uses.

The demo video in this post is compressed too. It went from 34MB to just 4MB, with almost no visible quality loss.
Be kind to community CDNs and other users. Now it only takes 4MB to watch instead of 34MB, which makes everything load much faster.
