This weekend's quiet-time reading...

The significance of the #nostr #safebox architecture I am building toward is that the operators of 'networked resources' used by #safebox have no clue about the data that they are storing nor do they know about the transactions they are facilitating. Further, these operators have no clue whether they are a singular resource, or part of a broader 'pool' or resources, that if they fail or withdraw service, it doesn't make any difference to the end user because someone else in the pool makes up the gap. #Safebox has been designed from the ground up to use multiple: mints, relays and blossom servers riding on top of lightning and bitcoin for value transfer. If someone objects to bitcoin/lightning, eventually they will be able to bolt in their own anchoring and settlement layer for value transfer (stablecoins, fiat, whatever). While there are still many REST/APIs in the mix, once I have the architecture and functionality stabilized, I will be replacing those APIs; the web app will become a hypermedia app and eventually, #safebox mobile OS apps will interact solely with nAuth/NWC protocols using JSON-RPC messaging. In the end, the value proposition to the end user is still clear - having exclusing control over their funds along records with the freedom to transact and share with their choice of client. Onward! #nostr #safebox

Everything totally encrypted including Blossom server data. Impossible to observe from the outside because the hash is the result of the encrypted data stored as indistinguishable application/octet-stream. When retrieving, no http img tags are used - all data is retrieved as binary by the safebox kernel component and marshalled into the web app element. #nostr #safebox

Sola Clave Privata ————- By Private Key Alone Take a breath. Notice what cannot be seen. No badge, no certificate, no witness stands with you now. There is only possession— not declared, not displayed, but held. A private key does not argue. It does not persuade. It proves by being used. What is yours is not what others recognize, but what you can act upon without permission. What endures is not what is registered, but what verifies when tested. In this moment, authority is quiet. It rests exactly where responsibility does. Sign only what you intend. Trust only what you can verify. Stand where control cannot be delegated. By private key alone.
