there is some kooky energy in the air at the moment
my cat has been spooked all day today, and the last straw of it was he swatted at my hand and scratched me quite unpleasantly like 5 seconds after smooching just before that
i've kicked him out of the house for now
he's obviously healthy enough to swat at me for no reason he can manage a cold night outside, i hope it doesn't rain on him but maybe after 3 weeks in here he's forgotten how good it is actually
and this shit with calle, ok, i am just gonna say i've been pretty much hostile to his whole schtick for a long time but today he went over the line and other people saw him behaving like a psychotic bitch so i'm just gonna say
something in the air tonight
i'm washing my bedding and tonight gonna sleep in different linen to usual and read Enoch by candlelight and turn everything off because it's all a bit too much for me today
and then there is the bitcoin price action, and that's not anything that bothers me particularly, because i'm not planning on spending any coins right now but it's consistent with something funny in the air, or more accurately, in the space around this planet
gonna keep my head down and stay off nostr for a bit because this is a bit too much for me right now

A Nostr-Based E-Voting System with Blinded Ephemeral Keys, OpenTimestamps, and Re-Voting
1. Introduction
Modern election systems must balance privacy (no one sees how individuals vote) with public verifiability (everyone can confirm the correctness of the tally). Achieving this in a decentralized, tamper-resistant manner remains a challenge. Nostr (a lightweight protocol for censorship-resistant communication) offers a promising platform for distributing and archiving election data (ballots) without relying on a single central server.
This paper presents a design where:
1. Each voter generates a new ephemeral Nostr keypair for an election.
2. The election authority (EA) blind-signs this ephemeral public key (npub) to prove the voter is authorized, without revealing which voter owns which ephemeral key.
3. Voters cast encrypted ballots to Nostr relays, each carrying an OpenTimestamps proof to confirm the ballot’s time anchor.
4. Re-voting is allowed: a voter can replace a previously cast ballot by publishing a new ballot with a newer timestamp.
5. Only the latest valid ballot (per ephemeral key) is counted.
We combine well-known cryptographic primitives—blind signatures, homomorphic or mix-net encryption, threshold key management, and time anchoring—into an end-to-end system that preserves anonymity, assures correctness, and prevents double-voting.
---
2. Roles and Components
2.1 Voters
Long-Term (“KYC-bound”) Key: Each voter has some identity-verified Nostr public key used only for official communication with the EA (not for voting).
Ephemeral Voting Key: For each election, the voter locally generates a new Nostr keypair .
This is the “one-time” identity used to sign ballots.
The EA never learns the real identity behind because of blinding.
2.2 Election Authority (EA)
Maintains the official voter registry: who is entitled to vote.
Blind-Signs each valid voter’s ephemeral public key to authorize exactly one ephemeral key per voter.
Publishes a minimal voter roll: e.g., “Voter #12345 has been issued a valid ephemeral key,” without revealing which ephemeral key.
2.3 Nostr Relays
Decentralized servers that store and forward events.
Voters post their ballots to relays, which replicate them.
No single relay is critical; the same ballot can be posted to multiple relays for redundancy.
2.4 Cryptographic Framework
1. Blind Signatures: The EA signs a blinded version of .
2. Homomorphic or Mix-Net Encryption: Ensures the content of each ballot remains private; only aggregate results or a shuffled set are ever decrypted.
3. Threshold / General Access Structure: Multiple trustees (EA plus candidate representatives, for example) must collaborate to produce a final decryption.
4. OpenTimestamps (OTS): Attaches a verifiable timestamp proof to each ballot, anchoring it to a blockchain or other tamper-resistant time reference.
---
3. Protocol Lifecycle
This section walks through voter registration, ephemeral key authorization, casting (and re-casting) ballots, and finally the tally.
3.1 Registration & Minimal Voter Roll
1. Legal/KYC Verification
Each real-world voter proves their identity to the EA (per legal procedures).
The EA records that the voter is eligible to cast one ballot, referencing their long-term identity key ().
2. Issue Authorization “Slot”
The EA’s voter roll notes “this person can receive exactly one blind signature for an ephemeral key.”
The roll does not store an ephemeral key—just notes that it can be requested.
3.2 Generating and Blinding the Ephemeral Key
1. Voter Creates Ephemeral Key
Locally, the voter’s client generates a fresh .
2. Blinding
The client blinds to produce . This ensures the EA cannot learn the real .
3. Blind Signature Request
The voter, using their KYC-bound key (), sends to the EA (perhaps via a secure direct message or a “giftwrapped DM”).
The EA checks that this voter has not already been issued a blind signature.
If authorized, the EA signs with its private key and returns the blinded signature.
4. Unblinding
The voter’s client unblinds the signature, obtaining a valid signature on .
Now is a blinded ephemeral public key that the EA has effectively “authorized,” without knowing which voter it belongs to.
5. Roll Update
The EA updates its minimal roll to note that “Voter #12345 received a signature,” but does not publish .
3.3 Casting an Encrypted Ballot with OpenTimestamps
When the voter is ready to vote:
1. Compose Encrypted Ballot
The ballot can be homomorphically encrypted (e.g., with Paillier or ElGamal) or structured for a mix-net.
Optionally include Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) showing the ballot is valid (one candidate per race, etc.).
2. Obtain OTS Timestamp
The voter’s client computes a hash of the ballot data (ciphertext + ZKPs).
The client sends to an OpenTimestamps aggregator.
The aggregator returns a timestamp proof verifying that “this hash was seen at or before block/time .”
3. Create a “Timestamped Ballot” Payload
Combine:
1. Encrypted ballot data.
2. OTS proof for the hash of the ballot.
3. EA’s signature on (the blind-signed ephemeral key).
4. A final signature by the voter’s ephemeral key over the entire package.
4. Publish to Nostr
The voter posts the complete “timestamped ballot” event to one or more relays.
Observers see “an event from ephemeral key , with an OTS proof and the EA’s blind signature,” but cannot identify the real voter or see the vote’s contents.
3.4 Re-Voting (Updating the Ballot)
If the voter wishes to revise their vote (due to coercion, a mistake, or simply a change of mind):
1. Generate a New Encrypted Ballot
Possibly with different candidate choices.
2. Obtain a New OTS Proof
The new ballot has a fresh hash .
The OTS aggregator provides a new proof anchored at a later block/time than the old one.
3. Publish the Updated Ballot
Again, sign with .
Relays store both ballots, but the newer OTS timestamp shows which ballot is “final.”
Rule: The final vote for ephemeral key is determined by the ballot with the highest valid OTS proof prior to the election’s closing.
3.5 Election Closing & Tally
1. Close Signal
At a specified time or block height, the EA publishes a “closing token.”
Any ballot with an OTS anchor referencing a time/block after the closing is invalid.
2. Collect Final Ballots
Observers (or official tally software) gather the latest valid ballot from each ephemeral key.
They confirm the OTS proofs are valid and that no ephemeral key posted two different ballots with the same timestamp.
3. Decryption / Summation
If homomorphic, the system sums the encrypted votes and uses a threshold of trustees to decrypt the aggregate.
If a mix-net, the ballots are shuffled and partially decrypted, also requiring multiple trustees.
In either case, individual votes remain hidden, but the final counts are revealed.
4. Public Audit
Anyone can fetch all ballots from the Nostr relays, verify OTS proofs, check the EA’s blind signature, and confirm no ephemeral key was used twice.
The final totals can be recomputed from the publicly available data.
---
4. Ensuring One Vote Per Voter & No Invalid Voters
1. One Blind Signature per Registered Voter
The EA’s internal list ensures each real voter only obtains one ephemeral key signature.
2. Blind Signature
Ensures an unauthorized ephemeral key cannot pass validation (forging the EA’s signature is cryptographically infeasible).
3. Public Ledger of Ballots
Because each ballot references an EA-signed key, any ballot with a fake or duplicate signature is easily spotted.
---
5. Security and Privacy Analysis
1. Voter Anonymity
The EA never sees the unblinded ephemeral key. It cannot link to a specific person.
Observers only see “some ephemeral key posted a ballot,” not the real identity of the voter.
2. Ballot Secrecy
Homomorphic Encryption or Mix-Net: no one can decrypt an individual ballot; only aggregated or shuffled results are revealed.
The ephemeral key used for signing does not decrypt the ballot—the election’s threshold key does, after the election.
3. Verifiable Timestamping
OpenTimestamps ensures each ballot’s time anchor cannot be forged or backdated.
Re-voting is transparent: a later OTS proof overrides earlier ones from the same ephemeral key.
4. Preventing Double Voting
Each ephemeral key is unique and authorized once.
Re-voting by the same key overwrites the old ballot but does not increase the total count.
5. Protection Against Coercion
Because the voter can re-cast until the deadline, a coerced vote can be replaced privately.
No receipts (individual decryption) are possible—only the final aggregated tally is revealed.
6. Threshold / Multi-Party Control
Multiple trustees must collaborate to decrypt final results, preventing a single entity from tampering or prematurely viewing partial tallies.
---
6. Implementation Considerations
1. Blind Signature Techniques
Commonly implemented with RSA-based Chaumian blind signatures or BLS-based schemes.
Must ensure no link between and .
2. OpenTimestamps Scalability
If millions of voters are posting ballots simultaneously, multiple timestamp aggregators or batch anchoring might be needed.
Verification logic on the client side or by public auditors must confirm each OTS proof’s integrity.
3. Relay Coordination
The system must ensure no single relay can censor ballots. Voters may publish to multiple relays.
Tally fetchers cross-verify events from different relays.
4. Ease of Use
The user interface must hide the complexity of ephemeral key generation, blind signing, and OTS proof retrieval—making it as simple as possible for non-technical voters.
5. Legal Framework
If law requires publicly listing which voters have cast a ballot, you might track “Voter #12345 used their ephemeral key” without revealing the ephemeral key. Or you omit that if secrecy about who voted is desired.
6. Closing Time Edge Cases
The system uses a block/time anchor from OTS. Slight unpredictability in block generation might require a small buffer around the official close. This is a policy choice.
---
7. Conclusion
We propose an election system that leverages Nostr for decentralizing ballot publication, blinded ephemeral keys for robust voter anonymity, homomorphic/mix-net encryption for ballot secrecy, threshold cryptography for collaborative final decryption, OpenTimestamps for tamper-proof time anchoring, and re-voting to combat coercion.
Key Advantages:
1. Anonymity: The EA cannot link ballots to specific voters.
2. One Voter, One Credential: Strict enforcement through blind signatures.
3. Verifiable Ordering: OTS ensures each ballot has a unique, provable time anchor.
4. Updatability: Voters can correct or override coerced ballots by posting a newer one before closing.
5. Decentralized Audit: Anyone can fetch ballots from Nostr, verify the EA’s signatures and OTS proofs, and confirm the threshold-decrypted results match the posted ballots.
Such a design shows promise for secure, privacy-preserving digital elections, though real-world deployment will require careful policy, legal, and usability considerations. By combining cryptography with decentralized relays and an external timestamp anchor, the system can uphold both individual privacy and publicly auditable correctness.

lightning is literally never custodial if you are running it, because there's you, and teh other side
ecash the locus of control and power is entirely on the side of the mint
it is literally just like a bank, it can say "you can't access your account because reasons" and gone
this can't happen with lightning, worst case is you are unable to access your coins until the other side wakes up, and usually the best option is to contact them, to prompt them to close it, or, if you use your channel keys to trigger closure from your side
again, repeat, again, this is not possible with ecash, ecash is 1983 technology and it never caught on for a reason, and calle is a shyster

the funds just aren't gone if you have the key to the channels (seed key) it's just a regular bitcoin wallet, and each channel is based on one of the keys from it
it can sometimes take time for the other side to recognise a problem, and equally, sometimes the other side can think there is a problem and publish the state and force close on you
i don't know exactly what the issue is with your situation but you can use that same seed on another lightning node and gain access to the state of the channels that way

channel closes can take some time to clear
the channels always close and some of the balance goes to one side and the other, to the other side
there is no "nope, channel gone" situation, the channel is literally on chain and either side publish it, it's closed, and the coins go to the addresses that set them up
ecash it entirely depends on the mint, this was the whole reason why we have lightning, because it's better than ecash

Yes, we list the OneDev issue in the Nostr issue and vice-versa. That way we have traceability. And, later, they'll be automatically linked.

or you could trust a mint and hold your tokens on your hard drive and and then try to spend them when the mint is permanently offline, and they never let you know
meanwhile my alby hub i can restore it with 12 words, and i don't have to run a server or any of that shit, because alby have a hosting service, you know, like a VPS with an app installer
and worst case those coins are stuck in limbo until the other side closes the channel and then i have control again
mint goes down? rugged, bro, rugged
and that's what mints are gonna be all about, rugging, one or two solid ones, and the rest rugs
lightning, on the other hand, at least you will eventually get your sats back
