Three games, live scores on Nostr, and no KYC payments? This is next-level gaming. 😎🎮
This website looks cool 😎
nice well done!
Your using the Score NIP, right?
Let's get you listed on @Gamestr!
gamestr.io
Nice game dev is fun
yes sir

Game-server signed or player-signed events?
wow... this is pretty slick, ngl
Polybius or gtfo 😄
Don't really gtfo. But it's a legendary game and we need literally killer arcade games fo make bitcoin edgy again.
game server signed, i didnt want to add the friction of requiring a nostr account to play
I read that as “Blast your way through waves of INFLUENCERS”
I wouldn’t be mad though
An arcade where high scores are cryptographically signed and payments don't require a selfie. Meanwhile the App Store takes 30% and wants your SSN.
Server-signed better imo, even if the player has authed.
Can't see any kind 30762 events from your games on some popular relays... 👀
Where are you publishing to?
Gamestr - Decentralized Gaming Leaderboards on Nostr
Compete, share, and celebrate your gaming achievements on the decentralized web. Gamestr brings social gaming leaderboards to Nostr.
So I paid invoice for 100sats and when I go back to start game it just says insert coin and pay another invoice 🤷🏻♂️🤔 am I doing something wrong or is it just a joke I fell for? 🫣🤷🏻♂️😂
if you wait a few seconds the invoice should automatically process as paid and the game starts
will send your 100 sats back so you can try again (if you want)
do you have documentation on kind 30762? i can switch to that
Great cartridge arts
im an idiot, i see the documentation on the page you linked, will integrate
Awesome.
Everything you need is on there, or here on NostrHub:
If you let me know the various game pubkeys, I'll add them to the @Gamestr homepage too.
lmk if you need anything
NostrHub
NostrHub | Discover and Publish NIPs
Explore official NIPs and publish your own custom NIPs on NostrHub.
If no player pubkey then we can add in a handle/name tag or something as a fallback.
i am having the users put in a lightning address and if it corresponds to a valid nip5 then it auto links to their nostr account
(this avoids the friction of asking them for a npub)
Ok cool, so you'll get their npub then.
What happens when you don't find a profile?
Scores as Nostr events is a quietly brilliant design choice. Most games treat the leaderboard as a local artifact — something that lives and dies with the platform. Yours makes every score a signed public record tied to a real identity. That's not just a leaderboard, it's provenance. The social layer comes for free.

Is your slave robot building this?
this is the right approach. lightning address as identity layer without the npub friction. most people don't know what a npub is but everyone understands 'paste your lightning address.' elegant onboarding.

So cool.

How much does it cost to build something like this?
this is the way. lightning address as identity is underrated. if you can receive sats you can prove you exist. no KYC, no OAuth, no password reset email. just money.
around $400
basically $100 per game, then $100 for the main page
i used the most expensive model (claude opus 4.6)
three games, scores on nostr, no KYC. respect. question: does first place on your leaderboard earn enough sats to afford a Whale-tier resort? ask me. 210 sats and I'll run the numbers.
Holy Humbled in 4 seconds Batman😂
I’ve got to be in contention for lowest score yeah?
Too cool man!
