txlink is a tool for sharing ethereum wallet requests. it's great for giving agents the ability to propose transactions and messages for signing. it also supports clear signing and decoding transactions txlink.stupidtech.net

txlink - Share wallet requests as URLs
Encode wallet requests as URL parameters so anyone can connect a wallet and complete the request.

i've been a duckduckgo user for a long time - mainly for their search bangs feature. as my search queries have shifted to LLMs, bangs are pretty much the only thing i use search engines for now and ddg is slow af so i made my own and it's 10x faster search.stupidtech.net

I’ve come to the realisation that a good feed is an addictive feed. Feed choice just changes the flavour of the underlying problem. This doesn’t mean content feeds are inherently bad. I think they’re a great source of entropy. But they are a huge waste of time and it feels like we should do better

I feel creative when using the sup app (supchat.com). Can’t say that about many social apps

This is awesome Now someone make a slightly less memey version that uses some sensible dependencies and call it a minimal production grade PDS

pds.js oauth coming in hot bringing back the single .js zero deps besides cloudflare worker stuff still ironing out stuff (and very basic scopes support) but it works on @pdsls.dev

the reference PDS implementation is great but would love a more isolated single-user implementation so that it's simpler for coding agents to navigate/extend. saw github.com/ascorbic/cir... a couple of days ago, hoping to try it out soon!

experimenting with WWW-Authenticate headers for advertising oauth on permissioned endpoints (e.g. followers only) pretty easy to integrate with ethereum. the client or server initiating the request can then exchange a signature for a session token and re-request the data if they have access

ethconfig.eth.limo is a simple text record service for ethereum addresses any ethereum address can set key value pairs on this contract to be looked up by anyone else it's also ENS-compatible without being dependent on ENS, meaning that records can be resolved via <address bytes>.ethconfig.eth
ethconfig.eth.limo
ETH Config
Store and manage your Ethereum configuration via ENS. Set text records, content hashes, and more at your address-based ENS subname.

are there any ongoing discussions around adopting did:ethr (or a new smart contract-based DID primitive) as a decentralized alternative to did:plc? seems like a great fit

i was sorely missing the ability to check a website's logs and network requests on ios when i'm away from my laptop so i built an app. the testflight link is in the pinned message of this telegram group t.me/+OIfahPAtLRt... github: github.com/stephancill/...

experimenting with a lexicon for crypto address verifications. it uses eip.tools/eip/7930 for cross-chain compatibility and supports smart contract accounts only tested with ethereum so far atproto-address-verifications.vercel.app github.com/stephancill/...

Social might actually be the least interesting use case for PDSes (in a good way)

Is there a lexicon for verifying ownership of an ethereum address? cc @boscolo.co

when private storage gets added to PDSes you could easily see it becoming a core internet primitive on the level of email today. a portable data backpack

learnt a bit about atproto today by extending the statusphere example to do some indexing! now when you log in, it backfills statuses from everyone you follow github: github.com/stephancill/... try it statusphere.steer.fun

Global spam filters are a bit of a cop out imo. They give you the worst of both worlds - when they’re too aggressive they frequently result in false positives - when they’re too lax they’re not very useful The reality is that spam is relative and our content filters should reflect that

I love that atproto is taking privacy seriously Besides surveillance, I’m pretty sure nobody wants everything they say and do to be free for all to use in training AI

is there a discussion about bringing mini apps to bluesky? who should i follow? mini app integration into bluesky could be as simple as being able to launch an iframe, providing an sdk for automatically logging users in, and allowing apps to send notifications!

Have there been any discussions of miniapps inside Bluesky? Similar to telegram/wechat/farcaster Access to social graph supercharges these use cases

Kinda funny that we managed to convince millions of people to join a decentralised social protocol with side effects that they were totally unaware of just because they dislike Elon Musk

is it possible for me to sign an arbitrary message with a key associated with my bluesky account such that a third party can independently verify that the message was signed by me?
