Trying to create a eBay listing automation workflow for my dad using Google Lens & Gemini (based on his preference) which involves using their API keys

and came across this for the first time. What the f?

I worked on the NIP spec last night and just uploaded the updated version - let me know what you think of it & also left you a technical question that needed clarification

I think your npub-derivation approach is the most trust-minimized implementation of the other iterations, but there’s still some work to do on client-side guidance

But for now, the foundation of NSW seems promising

The tag strings match - great!

The question is the derivation method. Your diagram shows BIP32. The NIP draft uses BIP340 tagged hashes: scan_privkey = int(tagged_hash(“nostr-sp/scan”, sk)) mod n. Same tag strings, different operation, different output keys.

Which does your code actually use? If it’s BIP32 I can align the NIP to match.

Either way let’s nail this down - here’s the draft: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2355

Hey Tim — I've been working on a NIP draft for private on-chain zaps using Silent Payments and your OpenETR work is directly relevant.

Quick technical question before I open the PR: your diagram shows BIP32 derivation for nostr-sp/scan and nostr-sp/spend — is that what your code actually uses, or tagged hashes under the hood? The answer affects interoperability between OpenETR and the NIP.

Happy to share the draft if useful.

I built a small PWA for instantly topping up a debit card with bitcoin and make payments with Apple Pay, which helps me live on bitcoin. https://blossom.primal.net/35dabc1f8f702050ab3c7215e29ed8c052...

My biggest friction point is having to use an ETH-based stablecoin

Is there any way we can just use a stablecoin on Bitcoin/Lightning rails, if at all possible?

“Lightspark's Spark protocol enables stablecoins to be issued and transferred directly on Bitcoin's infrastructure”

It’s not directly on bitcoin or lightning though, but on Spark I guess. But I agree
