Nostr.com: En myy sitä Shitcoinereille
Shitcoiners have fat bags, really fat bags, really, really fat bags. Two weeks ago I put nostr.com up for sale to see what responses I would get back. I imagined Roger Ver offering to sell bitcoin dot com in 2013, and what would have happened if another player had bought it. I had a few groups of shitcoiners offer to buy the domain (prob to do some Nostr ICO), but yeah, that wont happen.
Minun historiani kanssa Nostr
Melkein 3 vuotta sitten tein ensimmäisen twitter-kloonin Nostrille ja aloin houkutella Nostr-sähköryhmää ostamaan nostr.comin. Muutaman viikon bugauksen jälkeen purin luodin, myin melkein 1btc:n ja turvasin verkkotunnuksen. Verkkotunnus riehui muutaman vuoden huonosti tehdyllä aloitussivulla Nostr-projekteille.
Tämän vuoden alussa, kun Nostr alkoi kerätä paljon ansaittua huomiota, oli selvää, että tarvitsemme paremman aloitussivun. Isännöimme sivustolla jeffg:n nostr.how:lle luomaa erinomaista sivustoa. Verkkotunnuksen hyödyntämiseksi Fiatjaf sai täyden vallan isännöidä mahtavia nostr-projekteja nostr.com-aliverkkotunnuksilla (kiitos Fiatjafista). Koska se on Nostrin vierailluin sivusto, se on selvästi erittäin tärkeä portti clearnet-ihmisille.
LNbits, Nostr ja Covid
Those Covid years were a productive period, as well as the creation of Nostr, a few of us, such as Fiatjaf, Eneko and myself created LNbits, an extension based lightning wallet accounts system, which would make it easy to showcase cutting edge bitcoin functionality. While Nostr was bubbling away and great contributors started building clients that actually worked, I focused all my attention on LNbits. Although not having time to develop on Nostr, I shilled the protocol as much as possible, talking about it in popular bitcoin podcasteja and doing the first Nostr talk at HCCP in 2021.
Meillä oli valmisteilla muutamia Nostr LNbits -laajennuksia vuodelta 2022, kuten helppo napsautusrele, laajennus NIP05-osoitteiden myyntiin, Nostr-market -laajennus (sen edeltäjä Diagon Alley, joka on yksi vaikuttajista Nostr-protokollan luomiseen ), ja aina päällä oleva Nostr-asiakaslaajennus, joka voi multipleksoida välityksiä ja ohjata muistiinpanoja eri laajennuksiin LNbitissä (tarvitaan Nostr-marketille, jotta kauppias voi luoda laskuja ilman, että asiakas on "online").
LNbits was always a hobby project. but as the project evolved and was being used in the wild (even by a bank) it made sense to push hard to get the project out of beta. It was also weird that we were creating a useful accounting tool but not using it in a business context ourselves. With the blessing of the community, LNbits core devs created LNbits Inc, a for-profit arm that would help develop LNbits and provide some useful services, such as a one click launch LNbits software as a service (similar to launching WordPress on wordpress.com), a shop for selling all our DIY bitcoin hardware/swag, and a support service for people wanting to implement LNbits in their stack. We were given a pre-seed by the excellent Max Webster from Hivemind Ventures, which meant 6 of us could work on LNbits full time for a year, to create the services and push to get LNbits out of beta.
Nostrenessanssi
All the Nostrcentric LNbits extensions were given momentum with the Nostrenaissance of early 2023, and we were able to get them ready(ish) to unveil at Nostrica, as well as a hardware Nostr signing device created by Myself, Vlad Stan, Fiatjaf and Stephan Snigrev.
Nostr-laajennuksiemme kehittämisen kannalta oli järkevää, että käytimme niitä tarjotaksemme joitakin palveluita nostr.com-sivustolla, kuten olimme tehneet LNbits Inc:n kanssa, joten aioin antaa LNbits Inc:lle oikeuden hallita verkkotunnusta seuraavien 3 vuoden aikana. vuotta, maksimoidakseen sen hyödyllisyyden tarjoamalla välityspalveluita, NIP05-nimiä ja myymällä DIY Nostr -allekirjoituslaitteita.
Before LNbits Inc seed round, and “officially” passing the rights to the company, I decided to float the domain on the market see if there was someone out there willing to buy the domain. Within the first few days some folks reached out, but after some superficial digging it was clear their intentions might not be honourable. I have worked tirelessly for six years on free and open-source bitcoin software and hardware. All the engineers I have worked with during that period are here for bitcoin’s/Nostr potentiality to create greater liberty and freedom. Nostr WILL change our world for the better, and although I believe nostr.com can be made more useful, it is imperative nostr.com can not/will not ever fall into corrupt hands. Having a team managing the domain will help that not happen. I am happy to hand control over to LNbits Inc, and am extremely excited to see more wonderful tools/applications being delivered through it.

Pura Vida. Start wearing purple.
