Last Notes npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I think it's worth experimenting with. Throw fifty bucks at it, see how much the needle moves. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I dropped a couple flotilla links on Reddit. Upvotes appreciated: npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I like the marketing pattern of making a page on your marketing site titled “Flotilla for Discord users” that specifically talks to people looking to leave Discord. Great for humans and SEO. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Any plans for voice channels to court Discord users specifically? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I’m running https://github.com/v0l/route96 on my home server. It is built to be multi-tenant but it has a whitelist feature. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm getting a 504 Gateway timeout from Cloudflare when trying to view that link :( npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz For me it's mainly that to Google I am ultimately a product to be sold, to Apple I'm still a customer. I know about Graphene and I actually plan switch one day. But it's a lot of friction for ultimately a pretty similar threat model. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Hah, yes, solarpunk is more of a mindset for me. I'm currently hooked up to the grid in Indiana powered by coal and natural gas 🙃. Solarpunk is a hopeful vision of what technology could do for humanity. The idea is that if we can achieve energy independence on a personal or community level through solar or other renewable sources then we could start to make more progress on the big threats to human thriving like climate change, information warfare, centralization of corporate and nation-state power. It's an optimistic alternative to cyberpunk, where technological advances lead to further consolidation of power by elites and increased oppression for the rest of us. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm having new waves of imposter syndrome when it comes to AI use. I'm building in a less familiar ecosystem (Flutter) and AI is letting me do that way faster than if I didn't use it. Horcrux is quite literally software that wouldn't exist without AI, because I wouldn't have been able to squeeze the project into the timeline that got funded. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Wow I forgot to remember about sublime text for 10 years or so. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I hope this isn't a subtweet from my Horcrux demo today 😅 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm happy to host a signer. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Here is a pretty detailed quarterly report on my Horcrux project for OpenSats, if that interests you: https://mattlorentz.com/2025/12/29/horcrux-end-of-year-update.html npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Maybe we should start a club. There must be at least three of us! npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Playing ambient audio to keep your Nostr signer alive on iOS is hilarious and definitely against Apple's rules, but I love it. More power to you 😂 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Is anyone here going to EthDevner in February? I am not an ethereum person at all, but I have met a lot of cool people over the years (who are also not big ethereum people) who have been to this conference and loved it. I think I might go this year. They have a track for "Cypherpunks, Solarpunks & Communities". Idk what ethereum has to do with solarpunk but I kind of want to find out. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Flutter. I gave it a shot so we’ll see. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I’m sad to hear that. You are one of the most interesting voices in my feed! npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz If I vibe code my own workout app will I actually work out or no? 👍 / 👎 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Ok hodlbod has been COOKING on his frost signer thing with email login. I just got a demo from him and it has me more excited about Nostr than I have been in a long time. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz 👍 I like to call it an ecosystem. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Who is “we”? Are you anonymous? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Because it’s slower than Chrome and Safari. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz @npub1jlr…ynqn I think at some point I heard you say you get a summary of recent Nostr events every day. Is that from a DVM? Have you written about this somewhere? I would like to try something similar. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I wrote up some instructions for running a promenade signer, if that's something that interests you. Promenade creates a cluster of servers that cooperatively sign of Nostr events without any of them knowing your Nostr secret key. Bleeding edge identity tech. Join us! #naddr1qv…t2nc npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz bug: it doesn't work in Firefox npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Happy horrible software vulnerability day everyone https://react2shell.com/ npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz This would require an overhaul of clients and any relays that use wot, auth, or similar features, correct? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Whoah, thanks for the mega zap. Much appreciated 🙏🏻 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz 🎉 Thank you Itunu! This is so nice to hear. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz This website speaks to the nerd inside me on so many levels. I think I'm going to give the "No S Diet" a try. https://everydaysystems.com/ npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I just posted a project update video for Keydex that shows the current features and future plans. Plus an announcement that I'm renaming the project from Keydex to Horcrux! Check it out: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/oyxzSzhocB3k6BNbVTdU7d npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm so excited that Satellite is back. It's always had my favorite design of any Nostr app. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz The release looks great! Satellite's thread view has always been my favorite, I'm so glad you kept and improved it. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz nerd npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz hah, linking to 20 lines of source code for a feature as complex as search is such a flex 💪 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I've been quiet lately but I've just been very heads down trying to get Keydex ready for it's first alpha usability test, which I'm about to head to right now! I'll try to post a project update this week, as I passed the halfway point on my (relatively tight) 4 month timeline recently. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I just did a weird thing with gift wraps in Keydex and I want to make sure it's not dumb. I'm having a bug where lockboxes are showing back up on the devices of key holders after they have been removed. Like this: npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Yeah I haven't used it much in the past couple weeks. I've been in more of a refactoring mode and have just been doing one-off prompts or using Cursor's plan mode for that. I would like to get back and try it on some more tightly scoped features though. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I guess what I am dreaming of is not really NIP-87 exactly. It's more like NIP-29 plus encryption minus the assumption that the policy engine for the group is running at a particular DNS name. If you decouple the policy engine from the relay/DNS now you can innovate on that separately and create some really sweet trust structures, or not and just keep your group on a single relay. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz It seems to me like a rogue relay owner in a NIP-29 group is just as disastrous as a rogue group admin NIP-87? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Oh I never thought about this. Yeah you wouldn't be able to filter content by tag or author because everything is gift wrapped? Is that how this worked in Coracle groups @npub1jlr…ynqn? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz You wouldn't have to trust them not to accidentally leak messages to the wrong people but they would still need the encryption key in order to service membership changes right? I supposed you could use one encryption key for membership changes and another for content? 🤔 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Fun milestone for Keydex today: I had my first successful restore of data. I was able to fire up several copies of the app and create a lockbox, break it into shares, distribute them to peers via Nostr, initiate recovery, approve the recovery request, and reassemble the data. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Keydex is going to be the first Nostr app I'm aware of that uses relays exclusively to relay data from one peer's device to another, not for long-term data storage. I'm going to use NIP-40 expiration tags on all events so that they only live on the relay for a few days, which makes Keydex closer to a peer-to-peer application that uses Nostr as the transport (and identity) layer. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Hm, should clients add an nsec field during bunker setup? Not for you to put your real nsec into, but rather one that you know is allowed to post to your relay. Then if the client becomes adversarial the worst they can do is post spam to your relay, which they can probably already do once they have remote signer permissions. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz oh interesting, I wonder if I've been hitting these rate limits and that's why I have so much trouble with signers. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Day 2 using Github's spec-kit for development did not go as well. The AI and I got lost trying to write reams of overly generic TDD test stubs. It felt like the AI couldn't really get a clear picture from just the spec requirements what it should be testing before the actual implementation code was written. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I have not :( npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz "any kind of decentralized, democratic or liberal political structure thrives best when defense is easy, and suffers the most challenge when defense is hard - in those cases, the far more likely outcome is some period of war of all against all, and eventually an equilibrium of rule by the strongest." npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz @npub1g2j…yjj6 what tool are you using to cross post across Nostr, scuttlebutt, Mastodon, etc.? I have been using OpenVibe but it has been really buggy lately. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz it's fixed for me now npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz The official word is "no" 😢 (from telegram) npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz @npub1u92…hr58 @npub12hc…rdp4 @npub1v0l…qj49 not sure where to report this but I am getting this error at https://zap.stream/nogood :( npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Spent a couple hours setting up the Keydex repo with Github spec-kit. No code yet but I have 1000 lines of markdown to show for it 🤷♂️ https://github.com/mplorentz/keydex npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm back in the code editor for the first time in a few weeks. It feels good 😊 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz what do you mean? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Please flame me @npub180c…h6w6 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Sharing some wireframes I made for Keydex here, mostly because @npub1000…vwqk asked to see them but I figured why not share them publicly. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I’ve been noodling on my OpenSats projects and one thing I wanted to hear people’s thoughts on is the idea of lightly encrypted groups vs. relay-based groups. And by lightly encrypted I mean that all group data is encrypted with a shared key that gets rotated, but without end-to-end encryption, forward secrecy, post-compromise security, and all the fancy stuff you get with MLS. Basically the unmerged NIP-87 (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/875/files?short_path=ed261ea#diff-ed261eac15a3dc7dbd825342a3e89dc960824a52afd2dd032f30876fbfb25698) npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Today I discovered https://frame0.app for making quick wireframes. I used to love Balsamiq but the desktop app has been discontinued. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I've finished my first round of interviews for Keydex and they were so enlightening. I'm so addicted to user interviews now, I don't understand how I made so much software without them. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Are you selling these? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Ah, I am remembering the iOS version where the extension wasn’t an option. I didn’t realize you could log in on nstart! I thought it was a very opinionated choice to push everyone to bunkers. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm looking for folks to interview for the new app I'm working on. If you've ever needed to back up some sensitive data (passwords, crypto wallet key, "legacy planning" docs) but didn't just want to print it out and hide it then I'd love to talk to you. Just let me know here and I'll be in touch: https://formstr.app/i/keydex npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I was mostly just browsing for inspiration, but if you want to explore anything together I am starting the above app greenfield and it's a relatively small project. Definitely could be fun! npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Apple is announcing the new iPhones later today. No foldable phones this year though :( Probably will be a boring year in the hardware department. It will be interesting to hear how they talk about the flop that is Apple Intelligence. I found this video inspiring recently. This guy cut up an Android phone and made it foldable with a hardware keyboard. https://youtu.be/qy_9w_c2ub0 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz @npub12hc…rdp4 have you ever sketched out any software designs based on the NoGood aesthetic? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Ah makes sense. I guess the hard "outbox model" problem I was thinking of was building an infinite feed from some list of pubkeys. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Yes! But before it was the only way to log in, right? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz @npub1nst…rg5l are you still planning for another Nostr gathering this year? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Bless you for removing the bunker url requirement 😮💨 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I don't understand the question. "auth-required from "OK" responses"? Isn't AUTH sent in response to a client's REQ? Are you sending AUTH and OK in the same response? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Very cool. Is this the first time you have implemented the outbox model yourself? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Today I'm workshopping a name for my social key backup tool. (It will allow you to encrypt some data, passwords, nostr key, crypto wallet, last will and testament, etc. to a specific list of people. Each person gets an unreadable piece and they must agree to reassemble the data in case you lose it or die.) npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Good read on how you can use a CRDT to manage an access control list for a group or other resource: https://p2panda.org/2025/08/27/notes-convergent-access-control-crdt.html npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I am still loving Kagi.com. I don’t even use any of the advanced features, just search. Also @nprofile…kucd just straight up has a Nostr account? Rad. #note15mx…gt56 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I'm thrilled to share that I'm receiving an OpenSats grant to work on social key backup and a new Nostr groups/communities app. I'll be building both in the open and this account will probably get filled up again with posts about that work. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I have the same question. I like GrapheneOS not so much for all the hardening but just because it's the most functional de-googled Android. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz There was a big AI track last year, obviously it’s a hot topic. Are you talking about decentralized compute for training or for actually executing LLMs, or both? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Hey welcome back! We’ve actually stopped active development on Nos, but I think it’s still pretty nice 😊 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Good thread on some of the pain experienced by new Nostr devs, and also a good response of why things are the way they are. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I had a great time at DWeb camp last week as always. I sat on an "Open Social Web" panel as the Nostr representative and I think what I had to say about Nostr was generally well-received alongside Bluesky and Mastodon. People were mostly drawn to the loose governance and the scrappy "good enough" approach to protocol design. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Yep, this is what happened to us on Nos. Well we wrote it before the outbox model existed. Once it did we always planned to adopt it but it became the forever-put-off mega refactor that was very important but never urgent. I was able to slowly march our relay code towards it: breaking the layers apart, using relay hints in some places, keeping a dynamic pool of relay connections based on demand, but we never got to the full thing. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Yes, almost like the way people talk about tech's latest darling... 😉 npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz The internet is such a special place. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz The iOS 26 release date is less than a month away, and Apple is making big changes this year with the introduction of the Liquid Glass design system. I'm available for last-minute contract work to help you get your app ready. Whether you just want to make sure nothing breaks, or are looking to refresh your entire UI alongside Apple, I can help you make a smooth transition! npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz In the future all food will be made with a microwave, and if you can't deal with that then you need to get out of the kitchen. https://www.colincornaby.me/2025/08/in-the-future-all-food-will-be-cooked-in-a-microwave-and-if-you-cant-deal-with-that-then-you-need-to-get-out-of-the-kitchen/ npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz My practice for some years has been to keep a list of old friends/coworkers I want to contact in my todo list, sorted intuitively. I add to it as people pop into my head. Then I reach out to one person each week and ask to have a call or a lunch to catch up. I also attend a quarterly developer meetup in my city and travel to one or two conferences a year. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Respect for the principled approach! I went without LinkedIn for the first 15 years of my career and it was fine. It forces you to work harder on staying in touch in other ways, which can be very rewarding. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I would be up to contribute to this. I tried a ton of apps last week to prepare to host an onboarding workshop at a conference next week. The experience was really depressing, I didn’t find a single app that I felt like I could recommend across platforms. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Iris used to be me go-to client but it fell out of rotation at some point. Giving it another try! npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Surely someone has built this, right? Why haven't I built this? 🤔 questioning everything. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz SSB without the hash chain? I'm down. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Ok, I kinda wanted to be wrong about this but that's what I understood from the protocol docs. I thought calle was just overselling it but their messages in this thread feel downright deceptive. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Can you explain to me (or point me to the details) of how the tokens are reissued? I thought to swap you have to connect to the mint? Or is reissuing different from swapping? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I do know some of the history of ecash, that doesn't mean calling it "cash" is good branding. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz I really feel like I'm missing something about Cashu. @npub12rv…85vg calls it digital cash, but you are reliant on a bank (mint) to cash out. They say it works offline, but it doesn't really because it doesn't prevent double-spending offline. This makes it a glorified IOU tracker, right? npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz Awesome. @npub1pmw…4nu6 have you decided on an npub yet? Happy to hop on a call to walk through it together if you prefer. npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 mplorentz oh yes, looks like 0.3.0 doesn't even exist 🤔 I have pushed a commit that changes it. Thanks!
