🚀 First end-to-end pakstr release is live on Zap Store!
Today we shipped our first end-to-end release using PAKstr — the nostr box tools app — built, signed, and published entirely through PAKstr's pipeline. One nsec, one command, no Android SDK, no keystores.
PAKstr turns any web app into a signed, installable Android APK and publishes it to Zap Store in a single CI step. You bring one secret (a Nostr nsec), run pakstr run, and it:
- Builds the APK from your web assets (dist/)
- Derives the signing key deterministically from your nsec + app id — so updates work across releases
- Signs and publishes to Zap Store automatically
If you have a Nostr web app, you can PAKstrfy it today:
npx pakstr init # one time setup
npx pakstr run # one line in your CI
Repo: https://git.nostrdev.com/stuff/pakstr

The Nostr Box multi-tool: https://tools.nostr.box 🛠️
• Publish events of any kind from raw JSON (with a sample-event generator)
• Query relays using a GUI filter builder OR hand-written JSON — they stay in sync
• See which relays each event was found on, so you can spot where an event is (and isn't) propagated
• Run multiple color-coded filters at once and watch live results stream in
• Rebroadcast events to other relays, or publish NIP-09 deletions
• Optional NIP-44 encryption and event expiration
• Export results to JSON
Sign in with a NIP-07 extension (Alby, nos2x, Flamingo…) or a private key — your key stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.

2026-05-23 18:12:45 UTC

Instead of sending sats, we should burn them.
A verifiable proof-of-burn tied to a Nostr event is a WAAAY stronger signal than a regular zap. No one receives the sats, so there's nothing to dox and no way to game the system. It's just pure, on-chain destruction — publicly linked to whatever you're trying to highlight.
The network still sees the intent and the cost, but without creating new balances or attack surface. And honestly, "zap" already sounds like something getting incinerated.
Burn zaps > regular zaps.

The mint (or data center) operator can power off the mint so it's definitely ruggable
The non custodial part though does have some technical nuance. And of course this approach ought to be much safer for users.

Just tried Zeus 13 - wow, it's great! Easy to setup and much faster startup time. The ecash integration is also very well thought out.
And it's possible that it is slightly faster than minibits to get to the payment screen, with the caveat that the app must **already be open**
From startup, minibits will get you to payment QR scan in under 2 seconds
Zeus with LDK still takes around 20 seconds, in the quick test made just now
Another awesome thing about Zeus is that the fees are very low (they were zero in our tests) so fair to say that this wallet is a great alternative to Phoenix

2026-04-24 11:09:37 UTC

- requires a phone number
- requires access to that number, or your location, when changing devices
- use of captcha services
- black box / closed source / centralised backend
- persistent identifier that doxes you across group chats
whilst signal is much better than TG or WA, it lags behind Simplex, nostr private messengers, and matrix.
The persistent identity is the biggest issue. If we encouraged our staff to talk to clients over signal, their personal (signal) identities would be doxxed. It is much harder (and costlier) to spin up a dedicated work (or project) identity with signal than with the aforementioned services.

Multidevice possibility is something that simplex doesn't have
Also the fact you will have a choice of clients (including web) with Marmot
Right now, Simplex is more stable / uses less battery / has voice & video etc but the project has a multiyear head start. Marmot clients will catch up.
About the no user id thing, not sure how it compares actually, assumption is that receive addresses / metadata are hidden to relays but could be wrong. There is also the question of auth identity. Would be a good question for todays call at 1600 UTC

2026-04-07 09:49:56 UTC

It would be possible, and much safer / easier / better UX than WA or TG
