  • "Nostr" stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays."
  • An open protocol for building censorship-resistant global networks
  • Protocol defined by NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities)
  • Signed events
  • Web sockets, Subscription based communication

What is Nostr

Nostr Network Architecture

* A nostr user can choose multiple clients and multiple relays to work with

{
  "id": "<32-bytes sha256 of the serialized event data>",
  "pubkey": "<32-bytes hex-encoded public key of the event creator>",
  "created_at": "<unix timestamp in seconds>",
  "kind": "<integer>",
  "tags": [
    ["e", "<32-bytes hex of the id of another event>", "<recommended relay URL>"],
    ["p", "<32-bytes hex of the key>", "<recommended relay URL>"]
  ],
  "content": "<arbitrary string>",
  "sig": "<64-bytes signature of the sha256 hash of the serialized event data, same as the 'id'>"
}

How can I pay a youtube creator with bitcoin?

What is the role of Nostrize in this scenario?

What about Youtube, GitHub sponsors, Patreon etc?

  • YouTube pays content creators 68% of the AdSense revenue
    • 70% of the Super Thanks
  • GitHub requires 3% CC fee + 3% Service Fee
  • Patreon takes 5-8%
  • Twitter gets around %30
  • Eligibility?
  • Minimum payment amount?

What is Value for Value? Value for Value (V4V) is a unique monetization tool developed by the Podcasting 2.0 initiative that enables listeners to tip⚡️ podcasters using Bitcoin as a way of saying thanks for the value they received from your content.

Demo

How does it work?

  1. Users provide either
    1. (bech32 encoded) pubkey or
    2. NIP-05 address in their profiles/accounts
  2. Nostrize extension fetches the pubkey of the user

{
  "names": {
    "dhalsim": "6e64b83c1f674fb00a5f19816c297b6414bf67f015894e04dd4c657e94102ee8"
  },
  "nostrize-extension": {
    "6e64b83c1f674fb00a5f19816c297b6414bf67f015894e04dd4c657e94102ee8": {
      "type": "user",
      "emoji": "🧑🏻"
    }
  }
}

* Not part of the protocol

3. Extension will fetch the latest nostr profile event

{
  "id": "5298a8aa7e3b50fc18ef9691948530b6722ff205792ef3b11856cfb86392bb08",
  "pubkey": "97ac27d1b3a9fc61060a58d4380bb3812766f27290f977021935c320619643b7",
  "created_at": 1722726037,
  "kind": 0,
  "tags": [],
  "content": {
    "website": "https://nostrize.me",
    "nip05": "nostrize@nostrize.github.io/github-connect",
    "lud16": "dhalsim@blink.sv",
    "picture": "https://nostrize.github.io/github-connect/logo.png",
    "display_name": "Nostrize",
    "about": "The browser extension that empowers any website with the Nostr experience",
    "name": "Nostrize"
  },
  "sig": "..."
}

4. Extension will get the lud16 (Lightning Address)

filter: { authors: [pubkey], kinds: [0], limit: 1 },

5. Do a LNURL-Pay Request

const [name, domain] = lud16.split("@");

const lnurl = new URL(
`/.well-known/lnurlp/${name}`,
`https://${domain}`,
).toString();

const res = await fetch(lnurl);

6. Do a Nostr Zap Request and receive a bolt11 lightning invoice

8. User pays the invoice with their lightning wallet

7. Extension listens for a zap receipt event

* By scanning QR code or manually copy paste invoice

Finish

* Might be good idea to validate the preimage

Can Nostrize help open source developers?


- Do we really need to fund or crowdfund open source projects?

- Can we create a circular economy in the software space?

- Do we need replacements for apps like YouTube, GitHub etc. or?

- We can do the Nostrize way, use nostr as a communication layer on top of existing infra?

I want to discuss further
