Nostrly lightning redirection now falls back to Cashu eCash. If a user doesn't have a Lightning Address set up in their Nostr profile, or they set their Nostrly address as the Lightning Address, Nostrly will redirect zaps to their npub.cash wallet automatically. So zaps sent to a Nostrly address will ALWAYS find a LUD-16 callback, regardless of how the user has set up their Nostr profile. It also means that privacy-minded Nostrlings can avoid broadcasting their actual LN address, and keep their zap receipts private. That's because Cashu eCash is a Bitcoin bearer token (like a dollar bill). You can deposit your eCash sats back to a Lightning wallet any time, with no record of where it came from (like cash). I've set my own profile LN address to field test it. Any zaps will turn into eCash tokens in my npub.cash wallet. Huge shoultout to @calle and @Egge for their hard work making Cashu eCash such a great addition to the Bitcoin and Nostr ecosystem.

I've added a Nostr public key converter to Nostrly. It lets you easily convert between the NPUB and HEX value of your public key.

Our public key converter lets you quickly and easily convert a Nostr public key into its hex or npub value.

I'd laugh so hard if DeepSeek was actually an elaborate hoax that secretly sends requests back to a boiler room of humans who then deliver the results using ChatGPT.

PSA: For #plebs playing around building with #nostr You should treat all front end code (such as JavaScript) as INSECURE. It can be manipulated or replaced in browser console by an attacker. So any data sent to your back end server MUST be sanitized and verified. Check the schnorr signatures before relying on event data. That's why Nostr events are SIGNED!

GOOD MORNING #NOSTR

GM. Today I will be mostly playing with #nostr code.

Just contributed a NIP-98 authentication solution to the YEGHRO Nostr login plugin WordPress. If you use the plugin, upgrading to the latest version (1.5) is highly recommended for security.

All set for Uptober?

I broke a tooth, and had to go to the dentist today to prepare it for a crown. Amusingly (to me) the appointment was at 2:30 ("tooth hurty"). Now I'm sat with a numb mouth, feeling like an extra from the Godfather. Anyhow, this unexpected expense and downtime prompted me to finally release some of my most useful WordPress plugins. (I've been meaning to do it since about March). I use these three WordPress plugins on pretty much every website I create. I think you'll find them useful too.

I wanted to incentivize Bitcoin payments for my aMember sites, so I wrote a plugin that allows discount coupons to be tied to specific payment systems. If you use aMember Pro, you can grab a copy of it here... and you'll save 20% using coupon "BTC2024" when you pay in Bitcoin 😉 Order here:

Offer an incentive for your aMember customers to use a particular payment system.

You can never tell what is going to upset or put off customers. Case in point, an email one of my clients received recently via their aMember site. So I wrote an aMember plugin to make signup as user friendly as possible, while enhancing the security of the account... It uses the Bitcoin BIP39 word list to generate simple to remember passwords with 33 bits of entropy (that's 8.5 trillion combinations). 🤓 It's in my Cogmentis aMember plugin store if you need it for your aMember site too.
