I renewed my Apple developer account to keep Nostore on the App Store for another year. However I am not a heavy Nostr user these days so I will likely not renew again next year. If anyone is interested in forking it at some point, I would support that.

Hey, Nostr. Been a while. I decided to take a free days off the Bird App. How’s it going?

I saw this in my feed and did quite the double take View quoted note →

Would anyone use a Nostr experience that was more like IRC than Twitter? I am playing around with some things

New version of the Nomen Explorer out: 0.4.0. The biggest change is it now implements NOM-04, which means the indexer publishes its names to Nostr relays. If anyone wants to build tooling around Nomen names, there is no need to call external APIs, you can just use the same Nostr client libraries. - Nomen Explorer: https://nomenexplorer.com - Release Notes:

Nostr clients should implement Cashu wallets and a Cashu-based zap standard using P2PK to Nostr key instead of LNURL.

Is there a way to use Nostr Connect on Iris when it is a PWA? The option disappears on iOS when I add it to the Home Screen @Sirius

There's a new, separate repo for Nomen specifications, and it's modeled after NIPs. They're called NOMs. I have opened a PR for a new NOM that allows indexers to publish their name data to relays, so that clients don't need to make external (or potentially proprietary) API calls to query names. I would love feedback if any of you have interest in Nomen development:

If fees stay the same, should I implement Liquid support into Nomen? This thing will die if it can’t even get properly started because no one will buy a name because of fees!

The ordinals enjoyers seem to want me to step up my timeline for Liquid names for Nomen…

I am attempting to bring global, unique names to Nostr via an open protocol. I wanted to explain the new release of the protocol (and reference implementation), and why it needed a backward-compatible upgrade. View quoted note →

Nomen Gets A Protocol Upgrade: https://ursus.camp/nomen/2023/11/08/nomen-protocol-upgrade.html

Released 0.2.0 of the Nomen Explorer today. Disabled transfers temporarily. Transfers in protocol v0 were broken, they will be fixed soon and released with v1 of the protocol. Fixed the issue that double-indexed @Freakoverse name 😉
