Looking for 1–2 technically comfortable volunteers to test a Nostr-native BTC/BLAKE atomic swap prototype.

Current status:

Nostr offer discovery is working
maker/taker + both trade directions are implemented
atomic settlement has completed successfully on regtest
no custodian / no exchange wallet / native-chain HTLC settlement

What I need next is a real second machine/operator to test interoperability outside my own lab.

For now this is REGTEST ONLY and definitely prototype territory. You’d need to be comfortable running a Bitcoin node, a BLAKE node, and some command-line setup.

If that sounds fun, lmk.

where i am with atomic swap protocol using Nostr as discovery layer:


so, with this client, you could put in a Nostr identity, a blake node+wallet, bitcoin node+wallet and then make offers: btc-for-blake, blake-for-btc and take offers that the client finds on nostr. i doubt anyone will every use it, but maybe someone will come up with something better.

i stopped running a "bitcoin" node because i became afraid of what could be put on it. maybe that fear is ridiculous, maybe it isn't. but if discouraging people like me from running a node was the attack, it worked.

and now Blake has given a bunch of us node-running weirdos a limited hangout.
