I just bumped it up from 8 to 20 posts per minute lemme know if you need moar tho

Yeah I added rate limiting to our nostr relay just yesterday. I believe it's set to 8 req/minute per IP

Using jb55's noteguard plugin for strfry in case anyone's interested: https://git.jb55.com/noteguard

the NWC connection string is under your coinos "profile details"

we'll be adding the ability to manage and set budgets for multiple NWC connection strings under a single account soon but for now you could register a second coinos account to get another NWC string if you need one

Not necessarily an improvement, just different

We were planning to use the same bip39 mnemonic seed phrase to derive both your nostr key as well as private keys for a self-custodial bitcoin wallet but we haven't added the self-custodial wallet yet. It's in the works right now.

We're trying to find a good balance between simplicity and functionality. We think we have a good blend of features as a day-to-day spending wallet for individuals or as a merchant wallet.

In the future we'll do our best to make use of different layers and scaling solutions and abstract away the complexity so people can just get down to sending and receiving payments without worrying too much about what's going on under the hood.

Thanks!

Our ultimate plan is to spread bitcoin adoption, defund the state and create a society where people are free from forced financial surveillance and tyranny.

We'd rather discontinue our custodial services and pivot to just building a fully self-custodial client wallet like Zeus than turn on mandatory KYC for our users.

Coinos is already fully open source so people can self-host it and connect it to their own nodes, other LSP's or e-cash mints.

If we get the hammer maybe someone in a still-free country will pick up the torch and run another public custodial instance like we are now.

Thanks!

Yes! In two weeks (tm)!

Someone from our community made this: https://github.com/reddatos/coinos-woo

We're running a local campaign in Vancouver offering 1M sats to people who refer on certain types of businesses that we wanted to see: https://coinos.io/bounties

Thanks for the great questions everyone! I'm off for now but will check in again later in case there are any more

adding a self-custodial on-chain wallet to coinos so you can generate/import a seed phrase and then have our full node track a watch-only descriptor wallet for you so we can tell your your balance and construct transactions for you to sign client-side in your browser.

We use it for following and messaging other coinos users but the events are only published to our non-public relay so they're not really integrated into the wider nostr ecosystem yet.. that'll be coming soon though.

As of today no I haven't heard of anyone having problems using our service anywhere in the world but I can't promise it will stay that way for the future.

Good suggestion, I'll get that fixed for you

I want Coinos to be a wallet that abstracts away the complexities of bitcoin and other layers and just gives people a simple wallet for making payments. Beyond that having some social features with nostr would be nice to have.

I think e-cash will help people move between custodians more easily and within the same wallet but hopefully we get to a point where we can achieve the kind of instant finality and zero fees that custodians offer but without any third party trust. I'm optimistic that Ark and improvements to lightning or other layer 2's might get us there one day.

Also yeah planning to become more of a full-fledged cashu client wallet with support for multiple accounts and tokens from other mints so you can use us to manage your cash from other issuers if you want.
