Aspiring Chief Security Officer @ Nostr
It has been a high dopamine couple of weeks and my mind is on full force but my body is asleep. Wyd?
I would argue that nostr-irc is the fastest client for new events. Raw websocket connection in a running console with no image parsing, no link previews, some LND invoice regex, and other tricks provide a stream of steady text.
I’m currently working on fixing things to work with all relays. Certain relays have a different stack and responses that I need to figure out next. Relays like nos.lol and relay.damus.io fly.

OPSEC Tip: I have a higher degree of confidence you are running an Umbrel node based off a lot of your relay configs. While the chances are low, this could set you up as a target.
Testing the irc client via the nostr-sg relay to check propogation
Recent updates to nostr-irc:
- BUGFIX: Randomly generated keys were not in correct format
- Pulls keypair friend list and no longer my static pubkey friends
- Command handler implementation start
- Better utf-8 encoding support
- Input bar labelling changes for pubkey vs NIP05
- More refreshing, more flavor (faster screen refresh)
- “/who” general command now works

There are HOT ZAPS in your area, waiting to meet YOU
Reposting here as I was only connected a single relay at the time.
Nostr-irc now works with your private key (hex). You can post kind 1 text events in the Global Feed using your private and public keys or a randomly generated key pair. This is a huge win and frees me up to work on other features and quality of life improvements.
Currently broken and slated to be fixed:
- Backspace and system characters
- Historical message scrolling
- Everything else

Deleted posts? Replaceable text? The features you are looking for exist in the NIPs, but maybe not yet in your favorite client. Everyone should read them to see what nostr is capable of.

This is how I like to nostr


My nostr-irc client is coming to fruition and I could not be happier. While it’s not ready yet, I’m getting closer each day. The nostalgia feels are coming back in waves.


How many people should be sleeping right now, but are here for the zaps?
