I was going to keep Outer Space super private/mysterious and assume another nym but it’s really hard to do given (1) I work in a coworking space (2) I historically “work in public” online. I’d have to fake a drug addiction or something and pretend I just wasn’t getting anything done.

Anyway, Outer Space is where I’m going to attempt to build SN-like things into/on/for nostr. SN will remain and continue to be improved - ideally sharing as much code/improvements with Outer Space as possible. Outer Space is like an R&D project answering the question of whether the problems SN solves can be solved in a decentralized way (with nostr as ground zero).

Outer Space is just a landing page right now where you can reserve a NIP-05 and lightning address, but I wanted to kickstart it and have somewhere to host the progress.

AFAICT RoadmapAFAICT Roadmap
  1. NIP-05
  2. Non-custodial & hybrid custodial Lightning wallet/address/etc: a. Support fully non-custodial wallet connections b. Provide optional sat capped custodial wallet for offline receives and in app payment simplicity, i.e. a small custodial buffer with non-custodial (or other-custodian) overflow
  3. Basic nostr client/relay
  4. client/relay with value rank support

It’s been an open question whether I can build SN into nostr since its inception. I guess we’ll find out.

Love everything about this! Especially the Mars Attacks! clip ;)

I think it makes a lot of sense to purple/orange pill people in a fun environment like this

Just reserved my name!!

I think I may found a theme song:

(I will fly) Fly into outer space (Float away) I float away, but you're my gravity (I will die) Die to love another day (We rise) We rise again and lose our gravity

Reserved!

Looks cool! Reserved!

Going to be honest this was the push that got me to check out Nostr yesterday.

I love it here.

But I'll be damned to keep tagging along far behind. For once.

I'm ready.

I like the "outer space" name and theme. Very good luck with it! I really need to learn about Nostr now 😁 thank you.

reply

Looks already cool indeed :)

Super bullish on Outer Spaces and you @k00b!

круто... буду следить... буду наблюдать

How its going now ?

Shout if you need any help from the community. Or any opinions on what should or should not be in scope for v1

100k sats 👀 dang..

reply

outer.space looks promising but 100K sats is too much, sorry @k00b I am too poor

reply

That's totally fair but we don't want the namespace being polluted right off the jump.

  1. We might eventually make names free until someone else wants to pay for a specific name, ie outbid on it
  2. Hopefully once we're rolling you'll be able to earn the sats to buy a custom name
  3. We might eventually allow names to be earned rather than paid for
  4. The pricing might be subject to change generally

To be honest, I thought my name is so unique, I don't need to "reserve it". But seems like I misunderstood the point of paying the invoice

reply

It’s all WIP but Outer Space will probably be generally protective of namespaces. Otherwise it’s free to get celebrity names and run scams. Nip05 verification means a little more if you paid for it and I’m incentivized to correctly “verify” a nym.
