Nostr is the future of e-commerce? Agents can post and search offers from many platforms in one go, breaking the network effects. They'll gravitate towards nostr as it's permissionless and there's no middleman taking a cut?

Merchants can ask a Grok Bot or OpenAI dot to bridge between their existing system and nostr & bitcoin to get new customers. Hopefully local models on local hardware in the future.

double ratchet pull request, interoperable with nostr.chat and chat.iris.to https://github.com/lnbits/anagram/pull/100

Last year I spent many hours learning vim keyboard shortcuts. This year I've spent probably less than 5 minutes in vim. Oh well.

Omarchy might become the Nostr operating system. Working on a package manager for it (and other systems) https://haps.hashtree.cc/

Help test secure messaging on nostr? Download https://irischat.org and send me a message — look up "sirius" or scan the chat link. It's like signal, but no phone number or other 3rd party account needed. Works also locally over bluetooth.

What web clients are ppl using these days?

Experimental: nostr / blossom / hashtree based google drive alternative https://getdrive.iris.to/

The solar eclipse in Iceland was magical and impressive, even though it was cloudy.

Freedom router: wifi, 5g modem, esim, bluetooth, gps, lora, <100wh battery / powerbank (air travel compatible). What else?

Is there any email provider that can be paid in lightning and doesn't require kyc, phone number or another email address?

Noticed again that FB / Instagram are just fine, until they don't let you log in to your account and shut you off from your social connections.

Is there a way to delete apps on

? There's an older Nostr VPN version by app id to.iris.nvpn that's listed before the newer org.nostrvpn.app which is confusing.

No apps found for "amber" in

. Is my android test phone too old or something.

I've made a nostr & https://hashtree.cc native Chromium fork "Iris Browser". It has in-built NIP-07. It shares files and sites p2p, no need for blossom servers. It has adblock, you can watch youtube without ads.

But I think I'll need a threadripper build server because build time is a major development bottleneck 😅 Takes hours on a 64gb 14 core mac mini.

New version of Nostr VPN is out. Like tailscale, but no email addresses or 3rd party accounts, just public keys. New:

• native multiplatform user interfaces
• Nostr-based multihop routing (FIPS protocol) — very useful when NAT holepunching fails
• improved network management UX

Codex weekly quota back again. Such a relief after Claude retardmaxxing for a few days. I might need multiple Codex accounts.

When AI becomes the user interface, network effects like that of X are gone? You can just ask to see interesting content, and it will be pulled from many different networks. Publishing goes to all networks as well.

DaisyDisk is great, but SquirrelDisk is free, and works on mac, linux and windows. Made some performance and UX improvements. Source and binaries: https://git.iris.to/#/npub1xdhnr9mrv47kkrn95k6cwecearydeh8e895990n3acntwvmgk2dsdeeycm/squirreldisk

Nostr double ratchet pull requests for Bitchat. Forward secrecy enables disappearing messages feature: past messages on relays can't be decrypted anymore after key rotation. Also future messages stay safe even if one key is compromised.

I don't know how mergeable it is in its current form, but I've tested it to work between real Mac and Android devices.

Spotify clone on nostr / blossom / hashtree. Data is loaded from peers over webrtc even if you disable the blossom servers.

Hashtree is a nostr native "IPFS lite", basically just blossom + directories and file chunking. Everything is content hash key encrypted by default, which is nice for blossom server admins. More: https://hashtree.cc/#/dev

Btree indexes on hashtree enable large, searchable decentralized databases that can be used for all kinds of "platform" applications.

Hashtree indexes can be queried a bit like nostr relays, but they're not tied to any IP address, domain name or host. You can sync them over any transport and search offline.

Content-addressed indexes are transparent: you can verify that you see the same search results as others and aren't shadowbanned.

You can easily fork the large indexes (such as audio.iris.to catalogs) and add your own results into them, even in the browser.

I may have created the killer app of Nostr: MIDI Enshittifer

Also demonstrating Iris Sites, a way to easily deploy websites over nostr / blossom / hashtree.

Could bitchat use wifi aware on android? The bandwidth would allow to send images and files and sync chat histories quickly.

"Thank you for contacting us. We’ve received your support request and will get back to you as soon as possible." Waiting for permission to publish my iOS app 💔

Nostr running android phones could detect each other via BLE and automatically sync events with random nearby peers over Wifi Aware? Sneaker network. When the internet is turned off, you could sync your feed in Moscow by taking the subway.

On iPhone I suppose it would require keeping the app open and maybe accepting every pairing.

Got annoyed by Tailscale requiring 3rd party accounts, so created Nostr VPN. https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-vpn

It signals over nostr relays and creates a wireguard / boringtun network. Builds for Macos and Linux. Using it between my Macs, but haven't tested extensively yet.

Qwen 3.5 probably not good for coding vs Codex and Claude, but could be interesting for local feed curation
