Been thinking about this as an unintended feature of Nostr.

Phone numbers and email have become little more than a vector for spam and phishing. They'd be more valuable if literally 99% of activity disappeared.

Nostr just needs to lean into it with WoT, but that implies infrastructure in direct opposition to trends like White Noise / NIP17

Bxrd's following feed now surfaces notes by cumulative engagement, not just a reverse chron of posts or reposts of your follows.

Nostr clients as only as good as the infrastructure that powers them, these simple enhancements are made possible by a shared graph using a lot of memory.

*"The ‘most basic use-cases’ of invoices and receipts have been solved—reliably—by every other payment rail since the 90s, yet CLINK’s core stack still requires a ‘trad-web’ crutch to pretend it’s novel. Funny how ‘dying protocols’ only die when they’re actually bad, not when t...

will CLINK be CTV compatible once we get rid of KYC?

Got to the bottom of the Ark astroturf, an "anon" fighting me over it accidentally revealed a little too much about themselves.

Big-stablecoin is behind it, that's why all the paid fluffers are out.

All makes sense now since it's Centralized/Surveilable, double-spendable, and results in negative yield via rounds.

Also doubt that it's being proposed shortly after Taproot Assets is a coincidence.

All right, I'll bite, your premise revolves around the spark operators colluding to return the funds to the liquid federation?

In CLINK how do you preserve network privacy when your node is interacting with nostr relays?
Justin (shocknet) ⚡ profile picture
Since the CLINK keys are decoupled from the Lightning node you can roll them without losing channels, you could have multiple for different apps/users/use-cases to break correlation, or use blinded paths to obfuscate the destination node

Relay observers can see DM metadata of course, but since they're scoped only to these ephemeral kinds there's little to glean particularly where the payer is typically using an ephemeral key.

Ok maybe there's something I'm not getting. Am I mistaken in thinking that connecting your websocket to the relay over clearnet could expose your IP/location? Just wondering if that's engineered into CLINK or if you'd recommend another tool like TOR/VPNs/Tailscale?

I'm a little confused about your position. Surely static payment addresses, better gossip, and better lightning privacy is a good thing? I wasn't aware that Bolt12 opened the door to arbitrary data ...
Justin (shocknet) ⚡ profile picture
Bolt12 does nothing for privacy, blinded paths maybe do (debatable) but exist outside of Bolt12 (LND has had them for a long time already)

CLINK is better for static addresses, and more private since it's decoupled from the node, allows for HA, and is out of band on a web port.

(static addresses are a misnomer because Lighting is inherently synchronous, they're just pointers to a live endpoint)

Bolt12 is literally just invoice passing over Tor-like onion messages, fortunately LND has an option to disable them. Since you can't inspect them you can't block non-invoice data, Bolt12 is a vulnerability pushed by the minor implementations who went all in on phones-are-servers. Dumbest thing ever.
