Some beautiful person was the first one besides me to register a #Nomen earlier today. To whomever that was, don’t forget to send a record event! The blockchain only has a hash of the data, which mean the Nostr event is required to complete the circle! You can broadcast an event here using your NIP-07 extension, if you want: https://nomenexplorer.com/newrecords

The Nomen protocol and indexer are new software, but getting your nomen is simple and low risk. Using your Bitcoin wallet, create an unsigned transaction paying a UTXO back to yourself. Make sure to slightly overestimate your fees, since we will be adding a bit of extra data to it. Copy the transaction to your clipboard as a base64-encoded PSBT (this is just a menu option in Sparrow, for example). On the Explorer, click “New Name” and paste the PSBT into the form, along with the name and public key. The public key is just an X-only schnorr key. You can even use your Nostr npub. When you submit the form, it will return a new PSBT with the extra output for Nomen. Copy and import it back into your wallet (again, this is just a simple menu option in Sparrow). Verify that nothing has changed except for the new 0sat output and you can see that no one is stealing your funds. Then sign it and broadcast it! That simple, really. Low risk. You can then publish a records Nostr event View quoted note →

My newest project, which I have been working on for a few months. It's called Nomen, and it's a decentralized protocol for registering globally unique names using Bitcoin and Nostr. I've written an indexer, called Nomen Explorer, which uses published Nostr events anchored to Bitcoin blockchain ordering in order to provide a view of the registered names. https://nomenexplorer.com

RED ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨 #[0]​ didn’t mention this in the release notes but text is finally selectable Biggest news of the update 😂

I am not even halfway through #[0]’s episode with Lionel Shriver and I can’t wait to post this: I could listen to this women talk for eternity

I really want to reiterate that the United States ALLEGEDLY committed a direct act of war against one our allies, ALLEGEDLY lied to the entire world and said it was Russia, and now we are ALLEGEDLY under some kind of attack or alien invasion. This is truly some kind of insane clown world simulation.

Can you guys feel it? There’s something in the air. Just as the SEC comes crashing in to destroy crypto on one side, Ordinals release, causing the degens to flock to Bitcoin and teach them how to run Bitcoin full nodes and do coin control, offering a release valve. Just as social media starts collapsing under the weight of censorship and twitter begins to fall apart, nostr arises to provide a new protocol for social media, with Lightning at the forefront. Things are turning. The capital is loosening. Do you feel it yet?
