If you run a web development agency or are a freelancer in the US, EU, or UAE, ping me here or on Signal at basantagoswami.33 I run my own small agency here in India and looking for collabs on projects with other Bitcoiners Fellow nostriches, any help in getting us connected will be appreciated 💜
Should I create a new browser by forking Firefox or Chromium? The core idea is to provide users with a key pair that syncs existing browser data like saved passwords, browsing history, and open tabs This would allow us to directly integrate NIP-07 (nostr.window) capabilities into the browser.We could also include a Bitcoin (Lightning) wallet, even if it's just interfacing with users' existing wallets. From there, we can continue adding key-based features that users need, be it Pkarr DNS resolution, Web5 support, and Pubky integration We could also fork Proton Drive + Docs + Calendar, but replace email + password authentication to their servers with key-based E2EE user generated data. Some private communications tool could also be built directly into the browser using something like the protocols used by SimpleX I believe that once we get private keys into the hands of many users, it won't matter which protocol(s) ultimately succeed - we'll already be on the right path and will have taken the crucial first steps Tell me how dumb this idea is
JOURNAL ENTRY (Jun 11, 2024) Woke up kinda confused. Got some work done related to WalletScrutiny. But mostly spent my time in some type of mental fog. Not having mental clarity has been a problem lately, probably related to my diet? Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
Anyone working on creating a Discord alternative on nostr? Let me know even if you are just thinking about it, maybe we can do it together
What is the best protocol for private communications? The most helpful answer gets 1k sats. What I am trying to solve: - Use nostr to signal that you are using some app for private communications so that you can communicate using the secure alternative with other nostr users (instead of hacky nostr DMs) - Communicate with non-nostr users who are already using the other protocol/service Options I have thought about: - We have @SimpleX Chat with SMP and XFTP - We have Signal (and WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger) with the Signal Protocol but it's non federated - We have Session with it's own protocol, derived from the Signal protocol My requirements: - Encrypted one on one chat and group chat with a 100+ people - Encrypted file sharing - Phone and video calls (group calls included) - Ephemeral identities and onion routed message delivery to preserve as much privacy as possible - Or, use a single server along with Google's notification services etc for a balance of convenience and privacy
I'm addicted to the feeling of control I get when individually authorizing each event signing via Alby
