📡 How to use relay.testls.bit — a Namecoin .bit-gated Nostr relay 🔗 wss://relay.testls.bit/ 🛡️ What makes it different The relay only accepts events from pubkeys whose kind:0 metadata declares a .bit NIP-05 identifier (e.g. _@yourname.bit, m@testls.bit). Verification is done against Namecoin directly via ElectrumX — no DNS, no public CAs. 🚀 To use it as a write relay you need: 1. A Namecoin .bit name (d/ namespace) you control 2. Set the .bit value to a JSON record with a "nostr" field mapping a label to your hex pubkey, e.g. {"nostr":{"names":{"_":"<your-hex-pubkey>"}}} 3. Update your kind:0 metadata so "nip05" = "<label>@<yourname>.bit" 4. Add wss://relay.testls.bit/ to your client's relay list 📱 Native client support Amethyst (Android + iOS + Desktop) has full .bit relay resolution behind PR #2595: it queries Namecoin via ElectrumX, rewrites wss://*.bit/ to the underlying real wss:// host or .onion, and pins TLS via Namecoin TLSA. No client-side config needed beyond adding the relay URL.

feat(relay): resolve, TLS-pin, and Tor-route .bit Nostr relays via Namecoin by mstrofnone · Pull Request #2595 · vitorpamplona/amethyst

📡 Read-only access works for everyone Even without a .bit identity you can subscribe with REQ and read the relay freely. Only writes are gated. 🔐 Why this matters It's a working demo of the cypherpunk thesis: name resolution and TLS trust without ICANN, without public CAs, without DNS. Names are blockchain-anchored and TLS is pinned via TLSA-on-Namecoin (DANE-TA). 🌐 Browse it in your browser: https://relay.testls.bit/ (vanilla SPA, talks WSS back to the same host.
