44billion only supports nsites. I introduced some optional `window.nostr` and `window.napp` apis.

Napplets are like nsites with no access to browser apis - tough sell. Only SovEng pals are building napplets. They use `window.napplet` api. Verdana introduced many competing `window.napp` apis.

Three different event kinds. Pick your poison.

This guy is smart. https://44billion.net uses passkeys to secure user's nsec. Try it

quoting
nevent1q…kfvg
fair, the comparison has to be against what people actually use. for now, i think we should promote passkeys for local signing and recovery

to me, that looks like a better balance between security and ease of use, though the details of how we store and recover the key matter

No, it's a new spec.

Imo even for writing it isn't fine (except for what I mentioned) because the signature already proves who's the author of the event.

Requiring auth for reading would be similar to what X/Reddit do when asking for money to access their closed apis, which goes against Nostr selling point. It may also be interpreted as the relay inability to stop spam by other frictionless means.

I accept your opinion obviously cause the feeling you get when you look at things is very personal.

Now my opinion is that the landing page is very informative, with no lies, as I talked to the ai extensively about the tech behind the app before building the page. It is also very concise, which usually isn't a property of one-shotted AI generated pages. I talked about many aspects of the webpage design and iterated on fine details.

But yeah, it is chatpt and I was in doubt about "Privacy runs deeper." sentence which sounds a bit off in Portuguese, but thought this was not that bad.

heheh what Zillion uses for DMs is really just a namespace `dm:<peer_pubkey>` to store messages and a follow set event with specific `d` tag.

Nostr as-is works great for public comms. This app showcases a set of patterns above the Nostr protocol that can be reused for any private communication usecase, not just DMs.

But, before releasing a stable spec, I need to validate it more by implementing features on top of it such as group chat.

I understand many relays won't work like I want because relay owners are free to decide their policies.

I like the idea of some relays being free, public and storing events for a short period. That's why my relay is like that; specially cause my apps need that kind of relay for the private event specs I'm using.

What I mean is even though the majority of relays may go in one direction, any dev can spin up their own relay going to the opposite direction.

I iterated on it 3 times until I settled with a solution that doesn't rely on Google/Apple/Microsoft for syncing. In short, this means that these companies can't access the nostr keys.

dtonon (npub1000…vwqk) you could see the nostr-based sync in action by following these steps: 1) visit https://44billion.net 2) Click on the account avatar and access the signer (aka vault) 3) Click on the "Sync" button and follow instructions. Do that on two devices or two different browsers.

That's actually a security nightmare. It links different npubs to each other.

I wish more people would think about the metadata/timestamps that get created every time we ping/log in into a server/relays.

My experience is similar. Even top models like GPT Astra will make your project less efficient and buggy if you let it run loose.

I see people saying they let multiple AI sessions run on their tablet, barely checking generated code and it is very alien to me.

At the current stage, the dev still has to deeply understand the project architecture and give as much context as possible to the AI.

For not so important features (or projects) it is ok to let the AI go wild and fix things later.

But seriously, I'm sure some of those, including me, have never been a NIP repo admin. Never from the Opensats Nostr board too and Jack doesn' knowt about my existence on Earth.

Real power is being closer to the money. Money kinda dictates what gets implemented (faster). And implementations that come first tend to become NIPs.

Sovereign domains aside, I'm betting on using nostr relays simply as an ephemeral storage that keeps nostr events persisted for free for 1-3 days tops. This happen to pair well with the fact that most microblogging posts aren't meant to be revisited too far after publishing date.

The source of truth becomes the user devices' local DBs that gets synced (syncing uses nostr relays too).

This could make Nostr its own thing that doesn't need to compete on the same terms of players with deep pockets.

The thing about email is that everybody only uses gmail/icloud/outlook. That's because they are "free". In the past, you had to pay some money for like 5-10MB (ok for the time) of disk space for a mailbox. Now nobody will pay.

If nostr relays become like email, how can they compete with the 15GB free quota Gmail offers?

For Nostr, atleast, it depends on what it wants to be. I myself don't understand what people expect from Nostr relays.

I would like Nostr to be free public relays that hold events for just 2 to 3 days, unless you pay them or are an influncer that brings traffic that could be of use for the operator somehow. <- This doesn't need scaled servers.

Though it looks like most of the current users and apps expect big relays and blossom servers to store events and media for free forever, which is an illusion.

I see, there's a need for an indexer to aggregate content from homeservers and then make endpoints available for fetching filtered data, like these: https://nexus.pubky.app/swagger-ui/.

There are pros and cons to doing it this way. Offering a reference implementation full of features from the start has its advantages. Requiring a big server is one disadvantage in comparison to non-indexer Nostr relays.

And by not imposing any shape to the data, it most likely means there's no API for searching data by some specific content field (as we have with one-letter event tags).

I think there's just fetching by path (like folders) and anything beyond that would have to be made custom by homeservers that care (similar to NIP-50 extensions). This aspect seems limiting.

2026-05-23T18:23:22Z

Nostr relays are means to broadcasting messages that live enough time for interested peers to fetch'em when they come online. Expecting no more than 2-3 days of event retention from free public relays is a safe bet.

Is this why Signal (not MLS, yes) requires millions of dollars a year for a "beefy server"?

Why do some people want key rotation on Nostr? That's bad.

Like, you DM me about secret stuff, then I rotate to a new key, then I reveal my old key for anyone to decrypt and read those messages with proof that you wrote them.

Am I missing something?

NIP 4e is interesting but is rotating the encryption key regularly really a good idea?

If you decouple encryption from you main key and rotate encryption keys at will, there's no punishment to leaking conversations because revealing the message does not reveal the peer's main private key, just that disposable encryption key.

Breek sdk powers many bitcoin wallets. They are rolling out a way to store seed phares that is identical to how we already storing nostr keys at https://44billion.net

They use a client-side passkeys flow so that you don't have to remember your seed, although you may export it at anytime.

However, we went a step further to make sure we can never steal your keys even if we wanted to. The vault (login module) is on a separate domain we don't control. By default it is on Github Pages. You may point to your own fork there or to your self hosted version anywhere by changing the url on the settings page!

You can read the breez blog post here: https://blog.breez.technology/no-seed-no-sweat-introducing-passkey-login-for-the-breez-sdk-2cb7a7ee0279
And check out or fork our vault source code here: https://github.com/44Billion/44b-vault

You kinda asked what was https://44billion.net so I'll hijack this post to explain it.

What if instead of an everything app, you had a website that is just a dock/toolbar where you "install" all nostr apps you like and access them easily with the same account? App discovery is achieved with the pre-installed app store.

The theory is that when you have all nostr apps at one place, you don't need a super app.

Let me know if you have any concerns/questions/issues if you test it.

I try to make it easy to grasp when talking about it because I think people would consider the details very boring, but devs may check the code that was made open-source recently https://github.com/44Billion/44b-relay. I'm happy to answer questions about it.

It's a mistery to me the reason why most people, specially nostr devs, show no interest. I stopped mentioning people on posts or advertising on their posts to avoid annoying them hehe.

The best I can do is post about it from time to time to my small follow base.

_________________________

The wss://relay.44billion.net relay and the https://44billion.net platform are separate things, you can add just the relay as write/read relay (you need to find the relay configuration page on your nostr app of choice). Who runs it shouldn't matter much, but it's me.

This relay explanation: By people naturally requesting content from their follows and clicking around, they help the relay to know who are the interesting pubkeys and who aren't. The uninteresting pubkeys tend to generate spam/ads. The relay by default won't send these when you're checking your notifications, seeing post replies or the relay feed.

If people start picking just relays with spam protection such as that one, Nostr experience improves.

Give wss://relay.44billion.net a chance by adding it to your read/write relay list. If big relays like damus and primal had the same spam-fighting tech, I'm pretty sure we could label nostr as child-safe ahn? Ok, maybe teenager-safe due to occasional b( . )( . )b-flashing gifs 😅.
