Nostr.com: Nepredávame to shitcoinerom
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.
Moja história s Nostr
Takmer pred 3 rokmi som vytvoril prvý twitterový klon na Nostr a začal som odpočúvať telegramovú skupinu Nostr, aby si kúpila nostr.com. Po pár týždňoch odpočúvania som sa prehrýzol, predal takmer 1btc a zabezpečil doménu. Doména na pár rokov hnisala zle spravenou splash stránkou pre projekty Nostr.
Začiatkom tohto roka, so všetkou zaslúženou pozornosťou, ktorú Nostr začal zbierať, bolo jasné, že potrebujeme lepšiu úvodnú stránku. Hostili sme skvelú stránku, ktorú pre nostr.how vytvoril jeffg na stránke. Aby bolo možné doménu využiť, Fiatjaf dostal plnú vládu na hosťovanie skvelých nostr projektov na subdoménach nostr.com (ďakujem za ten Fiatjaf). Keďže ide o najnavštevovanejšiu stránku pre Nostr, je to jednoznačne veľmi dôležitá brána pre ľudí z clearnetu.
LNbits, Nostr a 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 podcasty and doing the first Nostr talk at HCCP in 2021.
Od roku 2022 sme mali v príprave niekoľko rozšírení Nostr LNbits, ako je napríklad jednoduché relé na jedno kliknutie, rozšírenie na predaj adries NIP05, rozšírenie trhu Nostr (jeho predchodca Diagon Alley, ktorý je jedným z vplyvov na vytvorenie protokolu Nostr ) a vždy zapnuté rozšírenie klienta Nostr, ktoré by mohlo multiplexovať prenosy a smerovať poznámky na rôzne rozšírenia v LNbitoch (potrebné pre trh Nostr, aby obchodník mohol generovať faktúry bez toho, aby jeho klient bol „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.
Nostrenesancia
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.
Pri vývoji našich rozšírení Nostr dávalo zmysel, že sme ich použili na ponúkanie niektorých služieb na nostr.com, podobne ako sme to urobili s LNbits Inc, takže som plánoval dať LNbits Inc právo spravovať doménu počas nasledujúcich 3. rokov, aby sa maximalizovala jeho užitočnosť, ponúkaním prenosových služieb, názvov NIP05 a predajom podpisovacích zariadení Nostr.
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.
