Researching NIP-46 capable Nostr signer apps. Amber and https://nsec.app are both awesome, but they are coupled with the UI and notifications, cannot just be left alone on a server. The nsecbunkerd repo would be the self-hostable software needed, but it seems to be not under active development currently @PABLOF7z Are there any other alternatives which can just run and sign as pre approved? The use case is sharing the ability to post (and other stuff) without giving up the private key. #asknostr

Thank you for your inputs it seems from experience Strfry is the most efficient. Not surprised, it is in C++. Let's have it on the #Raspiblitz too. Next question for #asknostr: I find the LNbits Nostr Client incredibly useful for #privacy. It is basically a Nostr level VPN which helps not expose my IP address to any other servers except my own and it just works on clearnet. Quote: nostrclient is an always-on extension that can open multiple connections to nostr relays and act as a multiplexer for other clients: You open a single websocket to nostrclient which then sends the data to multiple relays. The responses from these relays are then sent back to the client. image Are there any alternatives which are more efficient? Building the best social media stack here, help a brother out! In return when works for me I will make it work for you on #Raspiblitz. View quoted note →

To broadcast a raw transaction over Tor anonymously you have the command 'torthistx' available in all of your #Raspiblitz terminals. To use it simply copy a raw transaction from Sparrow Wallet for example and paste it to the terminal after: torthistx It will return the TXID. image #torthistx

Heads up if using the testing / unstable version of Debian, Ubuntu, NixOS or other Linux OS based on these, there is malicious code in the latest xz package: >The malicious injection present in the xz versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 >Luckily xz 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 have not yet widely been integrated by linux distributions, and where they have, mostly in pre-release versions. Running stable versions are fine: ₿ xz --version xz (XZ Utils) 5.4.1 liblzma 5.4.1

Exercise: you got to send someone money, but the payee didn't publish a bitcoin or LN address you trust. The onchain fees are high anyway for the price of a dinner. Nostr solves this often, but let's say you just got some other social media contacts. Solutions: 1. LNURLw generate an LNURLwithdraw voucher and share the link or QRcode so the recepient can withdraw with most lightning wallets any time. This needs a LNURL server. Some ways to it: - run BTCPayServer - create a Pull Payment, share the link or QRcode - run LNbits - create a voucher with the LNURLw extension Custodial solutions: - - top up in the browser and create vouchers - hope to have this streamlined in the Blink Wallet - the PoC could be extended here - there is of course the BTCPay / LNbits of someone else 2. Ecash Use ecash (that will be Cashu for now) - send the token as text and when the recipient downloaded an Cashu wallet will be able to convert the token to a lightning payment or trade it within the mint for free. - run LNbits with the Cashu extension, connect it to your eNuts or Minibits wallet - run a mint directly with Custodial solutions: - download eNuts https://www.enuts.cash/ or Minibits and use the default (or some other) mint - looking forward to the fedimint instances in the wild Does anyone has any other practical solution working now for async payments? I'd like to pay bitcoiners more often, but sometimes not when I can just ask for a lightning invoice.
