I’ve been reading various fiat world specs that seem to require a lot of voodoo. I think it’s pretty simple in the end, and not that different from (identical to) what is already done in the bitcoin world.

Oh cool. I have been reading up on KERI (key event receipt infrastructure) and hierarchical key derivation (bip32 I think). It wouldn’t be that difficult. I’ve started to prototype the mechanisms to prove the concept out.

I vibed a concept signer that does exactly this a year ago but it was just a mock, missing all of the actual cryptography.

I am thinking about creating the concept of a β€œcpub” or child public key of a root npub. The idea is that the cpub can be provably traced back to a npub. I can have as many cpubs as I want, that map back to the same β€˜identity’. If a cpub keypair gets compromised, I can publish an event that invalidates that cpub. As for clients, when they see what is a cpub, they can resolve back to the root npub and present that identity instead. The driving requirement is to have a protected root npub that corresponds to my identity; it is high-value so I only want to sign with it when absolutely necessary - keeping it on a hardware signer device. Any comments on this approach?

I managed to get the kind 0 profile info for any npub to show up as DNS TXT entries for service records, e.g., _nip05, _lud16, _name, etc. What this means is that any npub and its profile info is globally resolvable using the existing DNS system. Below is showing my nip05 info being resolved. #dnspub

The whole AGI narrative was kind of hilarious and sad. Never going to happen.

The biggest thing I learned when field testing my own stuff. Merchants just see it as another form of payment. They’ll price their products in their local currency. You’ll make a decision whether to buy based on the price in the local currency. And another thing… The merchants don’t give a crap what app you use, they just want to see the green checkmark on their end. If we want broad adoption, let’s keep it simple, folks. #lightning nostr:note1l08tcqvhnyakj3gxt5065zvygrjd396em828waw32nwc76dmpzvsn6zex2

Those coin return levers on vending machines are fake. Prevents the machine being vandalized.

Niiiice. The David Lynch weather reports are now on nostr. All we need now is a bot to post them on corresponding days lolol. nostr:nevent1qqswakxktf97dfuphprc2mcwxjnv9qdrc7scsjfhe45sw4lkx7cafaspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3q37c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqxpqqqqqqz9k5sde

Kinda ironic we are turning to the Chinese open-source models versus the American closed-source models.
