Nostr.com: nepārdod to Shitcoiners

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. 

Mana vēsture ar Nostr 

Gandrīz pirms 3 gadiem es izveidoju pirmo twitter klonu vietnē Nostr un sāku mudināt Nostr telegrammu grupu iegādāties nostr.com. Pēc dažu nedēļu kavēšanās es iekoda lodi, pārdevu gandrīz 1btc un nodrošināju domēnu. Domēns dažus gadus pārdzīvoja slikti izveidotu Nostr projektu uzplaiksnījuma lapu. 

Šī gada sākumā, ņemot vērā visu pelnīto uzmanību, ko Nostr sāka pievērst, bija skaidrs, ka mums ir vajadzīga labāka iepazīšanās lapa. Mēs šajā vietnē mitinājām lielisko vietni nostr.how, ko izveidoja jeffg. Lai izmantotu domēnu, Fiatjaf tika pilnībā vadīts, lai nostr.com apakšdomēnos mitinātu lieliskus nostr projektus (paldies par to Fiatjaf). Tā kā Nostr ir visvairāk apmeklētā vietne, tā nepārprotami ir ļoti svarīga vārteja Clearnet lietotājiem. 

LNbits, Nostr un 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. 

Mums bija daži Nostr LNbits paplašinājumi no 2022. gada, piemēram, vienkāršs relejs ar vienu klikšķi, paplašinājums NIP05 adrešu pārdošanai, Nostr-market paplašinājums (tā priekšgājējs Diagon Alley, kas ir viens no faktoriem, kas ietekmēja Nostr protokola izveidi. ), un vienmēr ieslēgts Nostr-klienta paplašinājums, kas var multipleksēt relejus un novirzīt piezīmes uz dažādiem paplašinājumiem LNbitos (nepieciešams Nostr-market, lai tirgotājs varētu ģenerēt rēķinus, klientam neatrodoties tiešsaistē). 

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. 

Nostrenesanse 

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.

Mūsu Nostr paplašinājumu izstrādei bija jēga, ka mēs tos izmantojām, lai piedāvātu dažus pakalpojumus vietnē nostr.com, līdzīgi tam, ko bijām darījuši ar LNbits Inc, tāpēc es plānoju piešķirt LNbits Inc tiesības pārvaldīt domēnu nākamo 3 laiku laikā. gados, lai palielinātu tā lietderību, piedāvājot releju pakalpojumus, NIP05 nosaukumus un pārdodot DIY Nostr parakstīšanas ierīces. 

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.
