The name service no longer exposes /api/v1/transfer (removed server-side), and
the model is release-and-reclaim, not transfer: on a key rotation you release
the old name and re-register (or import your existing identity). Removed the dead
nip05::transfer() client fn (it had no callers) and the "transfer" wording in the
README.
The identity service stores names + pubkeys only; avatars are rendered
client-side from the pubkey (npub gradient + first letter, else the Grin mark).
Dropped the stale "avatar service"/"avatar pipeline" copy and the "avatar
fetches" mention from the mixnet-traffic line.
Rephrase the README as 'pay-by-username' and scrub the Cash App name from
code comments. Also drop the leftover 'hosted avatar'/'avatars' wording —
identities use generated identicons, not uploaded pictures.
Settings now says "Manual transaction" and the privacy row reads "Messages &
lookups" opening a new Network privacy page that tells the truth: messages,
names, price and avatars ride the Nym mixnet; the grin node connects directly.
README and lander updated to match.
Requests are messages, payments are final: declining a request now sends the
requester a void control message (NIP-17), a requester can cancel a request they
sent (cancels the local invoice and notifies the payer), and incoming requests
resolve the sender's verified @username instead of a bare npub. The Requested
amount on the success screen is centered. New NostrDecline/NostrCancel tasks and
a goblin-action control message carry it, bound to the stored counterparty.
Localization: every Goblin-screen string moved to t!() keys (370 keys) and
translated into de/fr/ru/tr/zh-CN, guarded by a key/placeholder drift test.
System-locale auto-detect now matches region locales like zh-CN.
README: drop the removed nym-socks5-client sidecar story (the SDK is linked
in-process now), add the in-process build steps + the manual-slatepack feature.
Comments: replace stale "sidecar" wording with the in-process SOCKS5 proxy,
drop leftover Tor references (Goblin routes over Nym), and trim the chattiest
working-notes to terse rationale.
Route every relay and HTTP request (nostr relays, NIP-05, price) through
a local nym-socks5-client sidecar on 127.0.0.1:1080, so all traffic
egresses via the 5-hop Nym mixnet and nothing touches the clear net.
- Add src/nym/: SOCKS5 HTTP client (reqwest socks5h), NymWebSocketTransport
for the nostr relay pool (tokio-socks dial + TLS/ws handshake over the
mixnet), and a sidecar launcher that reuses or spawns nym-socks5-client.
- Swap the nostr-sdk transport off ArtiWebSocketTransport; route nip05.rs
and price.rs off Tor; revert the clearnet username-lookup shortcut.
- Remove the embedded arti Tor client wholesale: the onion-service
listener and send-to-onion path in the wallet, the legacy transport
GUI tab, the Tor settings page, src/tor/, the webtunnel pluggable
transport (Go build + submodule), and all arti crates from Cargo.toml.
The Grin node connection is unchanged (chain data, no payment metadata,
and never used Tor). The network requester the sidecar routes through is
configured via GOBLIN_NYM_PROVIDER / NETWORK_REQUESTER at deploy time.
Every first mention of a NIP or nostr kind in the README now links to
nips.nostr.com (NIPs) or nostrbook.dev (kinds). Add screenshots/ to .gitignore
(local gallery captures for the site).
Replace the inherited Grim README with one that reflects what Goblin actually
is: a private, Cash App-style GRIN wallet that pays @usernames via NIP-17
gift-wrapped DMs over Tor, with in-app nostr identity and the goblin.st
identity service. Adds the Goblin banner, a payment-flow diagram, correct
build instructions (binary is `goblin`), and keeps the Claude credit.
- README: credit Claude (Anthropic) for Goblin's development at the bottom,
in place of per-commit co-authorship.
- Onboarding: replace the contradictory "Pay people, not addresses" card with
"Send like a message" and reword the body in plain language (no more
"plumbing"/"ciphertext"). The identity step now says you can rotate your key
anytime to maintain your privacy.
- Home: center the balance hero so it lines up with the Pay amount and the
empty-state below it.
