GM. To anybody who is interested in Silent Payments or likes to experiment. If you want to move the available software stack further, it would be great to test and give feedback 🙏 nostr:nevent1qqsy2x9mquqmyfe7ds4evtguudn7hhrkxvrd2c6cxfa209gx752nh2gex8e5v

A Desktop Silent Payments Wallet: nostr:nevent1qqsy2x9mquqmyfe7ds4evtguudn7hhrkxvrd2c6cxfa209gx752nh2gzyzh4zfqmthtevwt9ydnll9m7t3tu4gy3d0n34g9xu3kfrnr2yfnx7qcyqqqqqqgj5zqz5

A little reminder, if you’d like to test out Silent Payments on Desktop, try this out. Receive and Send support for Silent Payments nostr:nevent1qqsy2x9mquqmyfe7ds4evtguudn7hhrkxvrd2c6cxfa209gx752nh2gex8e5v

Pure silent payment ? Wha the fu is that ?

Yes, receive is SP only. Send is obviously to any standard address type.

I will look into it

Nice, glad for any feedback 🙏

still very early experiment , unstabile , i might need to look at it on my ghost computer ...

its good they use signet . test net : i might be up..iminght be down ..who knows ... signet : relax , i have schedule , i show up

Very cool to see a pure silent payments desktop wallet with local scanning only. Feels like the right direction for Bitcoin privacy. Is the GUI stack all FOSS too?

It used fyne a go package. Very lightweight and BSD 3-Clause

Nice, Fyne + BSD is a sweet combo - lightweight and fully open. A couple of clean screenshots and a 10 second “why silent payments” blurb on the repo will make it much easier to share.

ahh, fello gopher. i've tried to work with that library but just ran into so many irritating bugs. i think it defaults or can use the gioui.org library as the back end. that thing, >_< haha oh yeah, shit, i was gonna try and upgrade an old widget toolkit i made for it back in 2018-19, they changed the API so much that my code wouldn't compile i has claude now. gonna fix this. my design is a kind of DSL based on chained methods for getters/setters/etc. unlike everything else except imgui and gio, it is also an IMGUI, and when nicely laid out, it's hardly more wordy than a typical vue/svelte style scheme, except it has the flexibility for you to design any mechanism for managing state rather than being forced into the retained mode state system they use (gtk, win32, cocoa, etc etc, all of them are retained mode and have serious limitations). been meaning to get this done, because it can be compiled to wasm/webgl and one codebase, all platforms (mac, windows, X, wayland, iOS, android, and web). yeah, i'm fuckin sick to death of working with react and NDK today. ok, i get paid to do it but >_< ndk lol react lol. i will showcase it on my relay's web UI, and the relay itself will be able to present it natively, locally. things are gonna get interesting very fast with a relay with a full UI on mobile.

Yeah, compiling to different platforms has worked quite well. Haven’t tried browser as it doesn’t fit the project but that’s definitely a plus as well

Good point, there is a good tutorial made by @Ron, I should use the screenshots and link to it as well
