Now you can add emojis to your notes in nosmero! 🔥🎉 😀👍

**Happy Saturday Monero Fans!** I revamped the search. You should see much larger and more accurate search results.

Note interaction counts were not showing up in right column feeds. Fixed. As always: if you spot a bug or worse, please let me know. **I'll tip you for the heads up.**

Added **markdown** *formatting* > to this site [nosmero.com](https://nosmero.com)

Squashed some bugs in the livestream page and continued to optimize some backend code. Have a great weekend Monero fans!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve Monero fans -made a ton of backend changes to nosmero and cleaned up almost the entire the codebase over the past week. Nosmero users will probably not notice much, perhaps a slightly faster response on some things -squashed a couple of bugs that you might have noticed before but which weren't necessarily breaking anything, i.e. there are now USD equivalents displayed next to monero amounts for all tip options -reminder to update your default tip amounts, the bull run XMR has been in means to do ~5 cent USD tip it needs to be ~0.00011 Have a great week!

Made some bug fixes I found in the rendering notes in the right column, and improved search results with the proper formatting and relatr badges. Have a great Friday!

New in Nosmero: Livestream support 📺 Watch NIP-53 streams from zap.stream and other providers directly in the app. Live chat included. And, of course, XMR tipping for streamers coming soon - still in testing. Are there any Monero fans who are livestreaming and who want to help with testing?

Updated nosmero with some bug fixes and improved functionality of the new right column layout. Also added a new feature: support for "classic internet" username/password account creation to smooth any onboarding of mainstream social media users. The private nsec key is encrypted in your browser. Nosmero stores only the encrypted version using the NIP-49 standard (scrypt + XChaCha20-Poly1305). The user's password uses ncryptsec for local storage and for authentication nosmero stores the bcrypt hash. So, in the event of a hack with full root access, attacker can only get bcrypt hashes and encrypted blobs. I still recommend nsec logins, of course, but in the interest of mainstreaming nostr (and Monero) I agree with the other clients that offer the classic account management option. Cheers to the weekend!

🔒 Premium Content Good Day Monero Fans! Here's whats changed in nosmero over the past couple of weeks: --- 💰 Unlock for 0.00005 XMR 🔗 Unlock on nosmero.com [Encrypted content - pay with Monero to unlock]

Happy Tuesday Monero Fans! Over the last week I fixed the Tor bug where the tip jar wouldn't sync with the node. Long story short, once a tip jar had enough transactions, the memory needed to do what monero does to keep things private wasn't adjusted right. After much trial and error it should be trouble-free now for both Tor and clearnet access.

Good Day Monero Fans! I’ve been researching and testing the following which I think might be of help to the XMR ecosystem. They have now been turned on for nosmero: Monero Tip Jar - This is a non-custodial browser hot wallet (your keys, your coins) - Create new or restore from seed phrase - This is not mandatory. You can still tip or unlock notes (see below) with the existing QR code option (hardware wallet compatibility coming soon) - The queue function also works with the tip jar, so you can tip multiple notes all at once to deal with only one 10 confirm lockup - Tor support with randomly connected remote nodes for maximum privacy Paywalls - I think it would be nice for content creators to have the option make a little XMR off their effort. So I’ve also added locked notes. - Instant unlock when paying with the tip jar (tx_key auto-captured). You can unlock with external wallet, of course, but unlock is not instant, you’ll need to paste tx id and tx key from transaction to unlock. - No middleman, the funds go directly to creator's address (either your tip jar address or whatever address is in your profile) - Locked content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM , unlocks are tracked locally in your device, but also on nosmero if you clear local storage. The content of the unlocked note is not saved to nosmero, just { noteId, buyerPubkey, txid, amount, confirmations, unlockedAt } Some of the Security Features Behind This Stuff: Encryption at rest: - Tip jar encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before touching local-only storage - Key derived via PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations - Your PIN to unlock tip jar is never stored. Brute force protection: - 5 failed PIN attempts triggers 15-minute lockout - Lockout persists across page refreshes - Auto-lock after 15 minutes idle Network privacy: - Tor users (.onion): if you access through the Tor address the tip jar will connect to random remote nodes over Tor - your IP isn’t always sent to any single node operator. This is best way to use nosmero. - Clearnet users: Connects to Nosmero's local monero node, so only nosmero sees your IP as it connects to Nosmero's local node through nginx reverse proxy but with access logging disabled, meaning your IP address and RPC queries (balance checks, transaction broadcasts) are never written to disk or stored anywhere What nosmero can’t do: - See your seed phrase or private keys - Custody funds - Log RPC queries or IP addresses for wallet operations But, of course, this is a hot wallet - it is a TIP JAR - so keep only small amounts for tips and paywalls, not your nest egg. No guarantees, beta, as-is, where is, caveat emptor, etc. etc. I hope you find these useful, and let me know of any bugs you run into. Mobile and desktop should have access to both of these features.

Happy Thanksgiving Monero Friends! Here are some front facing changes to Nosmero over the past few days: -mobile is working well now -search has been revamped to give more results and better sorting and filters -Nosmero is now available as a hidden service at nosmeroix3mixibdzzkjncxa4pp4ovvwp7xgaxtucx2roskv52w3hpyd.onion for those who use Tor

Hello Monero Fans: I've been making quite a few changes to nosmero, but not announcing them. The desktop version is fully functional but the m.nosmero.com mobile site is still having issues. It has less features as I work through the problems. After reading a very enlightening post by @npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9 disclosing his nostr.ux.com project, I decided to try to implement some of the research he did. The basis of the recent UI change for nosmero was based on his research. I also agreed with the need to focus on content discovery and keeping users interested in using nostr as a daily resource, as something to replace the centralized social media go-to’s. That was the impetus of the original Web of Trust page. It was a basic effort to give users a glance at other users that might be of interest. But I knew it was a stop gap measure to use as I continued to research the WoT options under development. My research lead to a great thread discussing relatr here:

nosmero - Nostr + Monero

That thread inspired the implementation of relatr scores for nosmero. These are optionally displayed, check the Settings page to adjust as you wish. Next, was adding the Suggested Follows and Popular Notes tabs. These, respectively, suggest high relatr score users that might interest you based on your follows and notes that are popular (based on interactions and good relatr scores) across the nostr network. This weekend I will attempt to get a handle on the mobile issues. Have a great weekend, and don't hesitate to reach out if you spot any other issues.

Just fixed the history issue, where when navigating around nosmero if you clicked the back arrow it would take you to the previous site that was loaded in your browser before navigating to nosmero. I had noticed this weeks before but forgot to add to the to-do list. If you spot issues/bugs, please let me know. And a big thanks to all who have tipped me! I have no idea if nosmero is even being used by anyone on the regular, so the tips help me gauge whether I'm just s̶h̶o̶u̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ coding into the wind, ha! Have a great Saturday!

Mobile site is live. If you got to nosmero.com from a mobile browser it should load m.nosmero.com automatically which is optimized for phones. Still working on Monero Tip Activity to function, so it is not visible on mobile. Otherwise, should be as functional as the desktop browser. Have a Great Weekend!

Working on a dedicated mobile subdomain optimized specifically for mobile browsers. Should be done by the end of the week.

Updates: -refreshed the UI of the site -added a Web of Trust Feed which pulls notes from your extended network. It shows notes from people followed by people you follow. Hopefully it is a helpful way to find interesting content and new people to follow within your trust network. The feed randomly samples from your network each time you visit, so you always see fresh content.

Just squashed a few bugs and added a cache of Trending Monero Notes that will ~instantly load when an anonymous user first loads nosmero.com. For logged in users, the Trending Monero Notes tab will, also, ~instantly load from cache. Users can than refresh the results manually for up-to-date notes.

Amber support *finally* added. Tested with Brave and Opera. Happy Saturday to the monero fans on nostr!
