I also thought about block height as a time lock mechanism, but I would also like the thing to handle cases where the message owner is kind of reported missing after some time (e.g. he passed away...).<br/><br/>Maybe this could be achieved by checking if some data (e.g. some signature by the message owner) is present in the latest N blocks. But then still, how does that enable the receiver to unlock/decrypt the message after that condition is met? Also, requiring the message owner to pay for transaction fees for as long as he is alive (even if only every few thousand blocks) is not great.<br/><br/>Those are the reasons why I thought a solution involving a third-party (i.e. a traditional web service) could be acceptable. 2024-08-20T19:29:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs070l259fwhr35ge8qf87047wr2emzwmajtd29d03l280shzu7lhczypdec250r65gn43h99predt8qt3ew650ujgsm3ajyuteeqwtyy9tu3fakvy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2xv05u7c5d0tcernx9sy2yzzl2mnzv25fksv4sw66chd5asme4fs5984u6'>nevent1q…84u6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hi <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1q6mcr8tlr3l4gus3sfnw6772s7zae6hqncmw5wj27ejud5wcxf7q0nx7d5" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Tim Bouma</span> (<span class="italic">npub1q6m…x7d5</span>)</a></span> - I hope you don&#39;t mind me mentioning you.<br/><br/>Given your cool work on the nostr safebox, I thought you might have valuable feedback/opinion on the idea mentioned in my previous note (obviously not the same as the nostr safebox, but still somehow related).

Could be used for inheritance planning obviously, but it would not have any legal authority.<br/><br/>I know the concept of timelock exists in Bitcoin, and also services like Casa or Nunchuk provide inheritance planning capabilities. But I am after something possibly simpler to transmit possibly less sensitive data/information. It would be used to transmit text, with whatever message you want. This doesn&#39;t mean security should not be a concern, so here are some of my thoughts at this stage, to possibly build something practical and secure enough:<br/><br/>* The service is a third-party that will store the encrypted message, i.e. you rely on the third party to retrieve the message or be notified when unlocked, but that third-party never knows the content of the message (i.e. encryption/decryption on the client side)<br/>* Open source project so anyone can review the code (and for example validate that unencrypted message are indeed never sent to the third-party)<br/>* Different workflows can be imagined, e.g. unlock message after a given date or unlock message after a certain period of inactivity by the author<br/>* The message recipient is expected to have the key to decrypt the message the day it becomes available<br/>* The message author can cancel the message with his key or with his email address (e.g. in case he lost the private key, he can still cancel the message but cannot view it)<br/><br/>I imagine pretty much anyone on Nostr will rightly say that relying on a third-party is not ideal, but it seems to me that it is acceptable in this case, mainly because the the third-party actually never sees the unencrypted message.<br/><br/>Anyway, I am curious to collect some thoughts about this. Thank you in advance for your feedback.<br/><br/>#timelock #inhertiance<br/> 2024-08-19T12:08:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq0jm5p3dnrxlmckp240hgtt9svuzkvkw8d9gazrmc7a5dpdmj2uszypdec250r65gn43h99predt8qt3ew650ujgsm3ajyuteeqwtyy9tu2zejw9 I am in Mozambique at the moment. Was impossible to find cash (Meticals) before entering the country. Not many ATMs. When you find one, there are chances it is out of order or empty. When it works you can have long queues. And when you can finally withdraw money, you cannot withdraw much (something like the equivalent of 80 USD).<br/><br/>Bitcoin and Lightning definitely have potential here (and probably in many other countries in Africa). 2023-07-29T15:00:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg9j9ageh28egjdmgfnkgf4a52d4enpskxvqc6cgweq4qas6k7tnszypdec250r65gn43h99predt8qt3ew650ujgsm3ajyuteeqwtyy9tuxlkwrx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspx22240w4pqmu9q4h5g6glskgxfk0k504xhnq44lnztyvckg9gecfkutu6'>nevent1q…utu6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>npub1twwz4rc74zyavdefgg7t2eczuwtk4rlyjyxu0v38z7wgrjepp2lqslhlss 2023-07-02T10:50:32Z
