Help test secure messaging on nostr? Download https://irischat.org and send me a message — look up "sirius" or scan the chat link. It's like signal, but no phone number or other 3rd party account needed. Works also locally over bluetooth.

Yes, it doesn't help if the local internet infra goes dark. For that you'd need 1) starlink for global internet access or 2) something like https://fips.network local mesh — needs sufficient density of participating wifi routers. LoRa is probably too low bandwidth for mesh internet, but suitable for short messages.

2026-07-31 11:33:00 UTC

- reply

Mobile wifi router, 5g hotspot and power bank. If you use it as a stationary home router, it stays online during power outages and can provide backup mobile internet even if you have a landline. It would wifi mesh with nearby devices over https://fips.network (nostr public keys based decentralized routing and encrypted comms). With lora it could transmit and route short messages (e.g bitchat) over many kilometers.

2026-07-31 11:16:16 UTC

It's a mobile router, so with GNSS you can track where it's going, or where it's installed, if you're managing many of them.

I've made a nostr & https://hashtree.cc native Chromium fork "Iris Browser". It has in-built NIP-07. It shares files and sites p2p, no need for blossom servers. It has adblock, you can watch youtube without ads.
But I think I'll need a threadripper build server because build time is a major development bottleneck 😅 Takes hours on a 64gb 14 core mac mini.

2026-04-23 20:21:28 UTC

- reply

Artists claim is an interesting problem looking for a solution. I'm hoping that could somehow work via social graph attestations.
Artists would be represented by a UUID in the catalog, which would be connected to an npub by users in your social graph, and the npub itself. Similarly the npub-uuid link can be revoked if keys are lost, band members change etc.
It's useful if different catalogs converge on same UUIDs, but they can be also linked to the same entity.
The same arrangement would of course work for npub attestation / revocation in general, allow targeting of reviews for entities that are not on Nostr and much more.

Spotify clone on nostr / blossom / hashtree. Data is loaded from peers over webrtc even if you disable the blossom servers.
Hashtree is a nostr native "IPFS lite", basically just blossom + directories and file chunking. Everything is content hash key encrypted by default, which is nice for blossom server admins. More: https://hashtree.cc/#/dev
Btree indexes on hashtree enable large, searchable decentralized databases that can be used for all kinds of "platform" applications.
Hashtree indexes can be queried a bit like nostr relays, but they're not tied to any IP address, domain name or host. You can sync them over any transport and search offline.
Content-addressed indexes are transparent: you can verify that you see the same search results as others and aren't shadowbanned.
You can easily fork the large indexes (such as audio.iris.to catalogs) and add your own results into them, even in the browser.

2026-01-27 07:55:43 UTC

Iris has had double ratchet messaging for a long time, but trying to support multi-device made it flaky. Now I made https://chat.iris.to/ which is single device and works pretty reliably.
Using it to control my clawdbots. Had to set it up because whatsapp / signal setups were such a pain. Also I didn't want to use nip04 which would reveal all our chat history if the private key was ever leaked.
On command line the clawdbot uses nostr double ratchet tool ndr in rust: https://files.iris.to/#/npub1xndmdgymsf4a34rzr7346vp8qcptxf75pjqweh8naa8rklgxpfqqmfjtce/nostr-double-ratchet
And of course my clawdbots use git-remote-htree for decentralized code sharing on nost + blossom — not annoying github tokens.
