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 Roadmap
NIP-05
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
Basic nostr client/relay
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.
(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
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.
If you are looking for help from some Nostr devs, please give our new #devstrjobs initiative a try (and some feedback). Search for #devstrjobs in any Nostr client or visit https://devstr.org/jobs.
