pull down to refresh
I actually think they made the right trade-offs here. Reminds me of Argent's (yes booo shitcoins) guardian recovery system but with a hardware device instead of social guardians. Not really a cold wallet replacement but more of a hot wallet backup/security setup which is much needed for normies.
Another benefit of using nostr for transferring the whisper key is a recipient web app could be built that filters out keys without a balance and allow for easier/more precise sweeping.
You could also put the sender instantiation behind a "generate" button to avoid creating a nostr message for every page load. I want to avoid spamming nostr as well but luckily the traffic will be coming from the client so relay anti-spam prevention can be applied.
Technically the nostr message is still out-of-band, but is sent programatically and free (for now) which is what I was getting at.
Very cool, nice work.
Using something like an encrypted nostr message to transmit the linking key instead of email would remove the sender out-of-band communication and avoid the fatal refresh issue. Just a thought.
This is awesome. Glad to see partial payments don't get reverted and expired invoices are automatically retried. Would love to see this added to the Strike app in a tools tab or something to that effect.
Shameless plug for my zero fee routing node https://amboss.space/c/iampigman
Once we have PTLCs and Eltoo the operating cost of running a routing node will go way down and subsequently the fees. Until then though HTLC attacks are too costly to facilitate altruistic routing.
Spare laptops are probably your best bet. Built in battery backup and you can use Unraid or Portainer for web docker management.
