BIP353 is 🔥. It just needs more support in wallets. Which means more support for silent payments and BOLT12. It’ll be a great day when I can tell anyone to send money to david@jones.cash and it’ll just work. At least for now it works with Cake Wallet and Phoenix Wallet.

It warms my Baptist heart.

I’ve set up a NOSTR page for my church. It’s not much—just a link to the church’s Sermon Audio page, the Pastor’s name, Sunday worship times, a couple pictures, and the church’s lightning address. That’s right. My church can accept zaps now. Give them a follow.

Video suggestion: Graduation season is coming up and I’m planning on giving out some sets of 12 words. It would be nice if I could also give out a link to a YouTube video explaining a few basics about Bitcoin and some of the things they can do with it. You know, recommended wallets, how to import your twelve words and the importance of keeping them safe and secret, how to transfer to a lightning wallet, how to buy a gift card, but also why you should really try to hodl it even though you’re probably going to see the price go way up and way down.

Also, someone might want to have a private conversation without leaking that the conversation is even happening. Could something like an HD wallet fix this? Say I want to DM you. I send you a message from an npub that is generated for the purpose of initiating a conversation with you (let’s call this npub1). Part of the message is cryptographic proof that I have the key that controls my public-facing npub (my, call it, npub0), and part of the message is another new npub (call it npub2) that you can respond to if you choose to reply. If you respond to my message to you, you send the message to my npub2, from a newly generated npub of your own with proof that you have the key that controls your public-facing npub. Now we are chatting using npubs that only you and I know are ours. The only thing anyone else can see is that your public npub received a message from an unknown sender. No one knows who that message was from or even if you responded. I’m not a coder, but it seems like this could be done. Or am I way off?
