Nostr.com: Tidak Menjualnya Ke Shitcoiner
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.
Sejarah Saya Dengan Nostr
Hampir 3 tahun yang lalu saya membuat klon twitter pertama di Nostr, dan mulai menyadap grup telegram Nostr untuk membeli nostr.com. Setelah beberapa minggu melakukan penyadapan, saya akhirnya berhasil menjual hampir 1btc dan mengamankan domainnya. Domain tersebut membusuk selama beberapa tahun dengan halaman pembuka yang dibuat dengan buruk untuk proyek Nostr.
Pada awal tahun ini, dengan semua perhatian yang layak diterima Nostr, jelas kami membutuhkan halaman pembuka yang lebih baik. Kami menghosting situs luar biasa yang dibuat untuk nostr.how oleh jeffg di situs tersebut. Untuk memanfaatkan domain tersebut, Fiatjaf diberikan kekuasaan penuh untuk menjadi tuan rumah proyek-proyek nostr yang hebat di subdomain nostr.com (terima kasih untuk Fiatjaf itu). Menjadi situs Nostr yang paling banyak dikunjungi, ini jelas merupakan pintu gerbang yang sangat penting bagi orang-orang clearnet.
LNbit, Nostr dan 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 podcast and doing the first Nostr talk at HCCP in 2021.
Kami memiliki beberapa ekstensi Nostr LNbits yang sedang direncanakan mulai tahun 2022, seperti relai satu klik yang mudah, ekstensi untuk menjual alamat NIP05, ekstensi pasar Nostr (pendahulunya Diagon Alley, menjadi salah satu pengaruh terhadap pembuatan protokol Nostr ), dan ekstensi klien Nostr yang selalu aktif yang dapat melipatgandakan relay dan mengarahkan catatan ke ekstensi berbeda di LNbits (diperlukan untuk pasar Nostr sehingga pedagang dapat membuat faktur tanpa klien mereka “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.
Nostrenaissance
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.
Masuk akal dalam pengembangan ekstensi Nostr kami menggunakannya untuk menawarkan beberapa layanan di nostr.com, mirip dengan apa yang telah kami lakukan dengan LNbits Inc, jadi saya berencana untuk memberikan LNbits Inc hak untuk mengelola domain selama 3 tahun ke depan. tahun, untuk memaksimalkan kegunaannya, dengan menawarkan layanan relay, nama NIP05, dan menjual perangkat penandatanganan Nostr DIY.
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.
