- Third-party credits: replace the "Nym mixnet" row with "Tor (arti)" (0.43,
linking the arti repo), matching the other credit rows' hardcoded style. No
locale strings existed for it (credit labels are hardcoded, not localized).
- Balance: show a quiet "Updating…" line under the balance while the node is
still warming, reusing the existing wallet.syncing() signal and the
balance-updating line's muted style; it clears once the node is synced. New
t!() key goblin.home.updating added to all six locales (i18n drift green).
- Nym sweep: Cargo.toml package description "Nym mixnet" -> "Tor". The only
other user-facing Nym reference was the credit above. Remaining references
are the deliberately-dormant `nym` feature/module and internal code comments,
left as-is; README and all locale values were already Tor.
The wallet's private transport moves from the Nym mixnet to embedded Tor
(arti, copied from GRIM's engine): it dials the relay's pinned .onion, so
the relay never learns your IP, while the relay + NIP-59 gift-wrap hide the
rest - content, sender, and (via a relay-side randomized release) timing.
The Grin node stays on the clear internet as before.
Why leave the mixnet: the Nym free-tier bandwidth this depended on is being
removed upstream (the grant expires at UTC midnight; the paid path requires
holding NYM tokens), so a payments wallet can't stand on it. Tor is
unmetered, embedded in-process on mobile, faster where users wait, and
lighter on the battery.
Preserved intact: the confirm-before-sent guard, relay-gated readiness, and
the lazy warm-on-activity node polling. src/nym/ is feature-gated off (arti
and nym-sdk can't share one binary); full removal is a follow-up.
Advanced gains a password-gated Nostr key card: reveal the wallet's nsec,
Copy it, or show it as a QR. Scanning that QR (or pasting the copied
nsec) into a nostr app's private-key login - e.g. magick.market - signs
you in with the same identity the wallet uses. The nsec is derived on
demand behind the wallet password and never persisted; wrong password
cannot leak it. Six advanced.* strings added across all six locales.
Money path:
- Scoped, unbonded Nym exit for the money-path relay: the wallet dials a
relay operator's co-located exit over a MixnetStream (src/nym/streamexit.rs)
which pipes to its one relay; hostname-validated TLS end to end, no public
DNS. Anchor + fallback (never pin-only): any exit failure degrades to the
smolmix tunnel. relay.goblin.st's exit address is pinned in the relay pool
(src/nostr/pool.rs) and the maintainer gist so it bootstraps offline.
- STREAM_SETTLE bridges the open-before-accept gap so the first TLS byte is
not dropped into a stalled handshake.
- Verified end to end: two wallets complete a real gift-wrapped Grin payment
through relay.goblin.st over the exit, finalized + posted on mainnet
(src/wallet/e2e.rs, ignored live test).
Encryption:
- Adopt NIP-44 v3 for the NIP-17 gift-wrap path (G4): src/nostr/wrapv3.rs,
nip44 path dep; v3<->v3 and v3->v2 interop.
Also: mix-DNS (src/nym/dns.rs), full localization pass, GUI polish,
avatar-ring example, Android icon/script updates, GRIM deviation notes,
xrelay + connect-timing tests.
Tapping Approve on an incoming request no longer pays immediately — it opens a
full-surface review (who's asking, amount, note, live network fee, privacy,
delivery) with a hold-to-accept gesture, mirroring the send review. Paying a
request is a spend, so it should confirm like one. The NostrPayRequest is
dispatched only when the hold completes; decline is unchanged, and an
over-balance request disables the accept. New goblin.request.review_title /
hold_to_accept / hold_accept_hint across all six locales (drift green).
Four field-reported issues from a fresh install + a friend payment:
- Default node was grincoin.org, whose foreign API was returning "rpc call
failed" — onboarding sync died with an un-retryable error. Lead the node
list with the verified-healthy api.grin.money (external.rs) and use it as the
onboarding default (was grincoin.org); grincoin.org stays in the list.
- Claiming a username gave no feedback and the identity card kept showing the
npub. The card now shows the @name + a seal check once claimed, and a clear
"name is yours" success card replaces the claim form before Open wallet.
- A returning user who restores a seed gets a fresh random nostr key, so their
old @name couldn't come back. Offer "Import it" in the identity step: paste an
nsec or pick a .backup file (reuses the wallet password just set) to keep the
existing key + username.
- The requester side of a request never resolved the payer's @username — the
FinalizePost ingest arm skipped ensure_contact/resolve_contact_identity, so a
completed request showed a bare npub for the payer. Resolve on finalize like
every other ingest path.
i18n: claimed_title/claimed_blurb + import_existing/import_title/import_blurb
across all six locales; drift test green.
- Configurable name authority (Settings → Identity → Name authority): bare
names resolve there, own-domain names show bare, foreign verified names show
'name · domain' with a check — no '@' anywhere. Lets bob@otherdomain pay
alice@goblin.st. Home domain derived from the configured server.
- Note entry is now a modal that floats above the soft keyboard (dimmed
backdrop) instead of an inline editor the keyboard covered.
- Backup export SAVES to a chosen location (Android CREATE_DOCUMENT / desktop
save dialog) instead of opening the share sheet.
- Onboarding status-bar icons are legible again (white on the dark surface,
not black); identity step is less wordy and drops the '@' prefix; claiming a
name during onboarding now republishes kind 0 so it's visible immediately.
- App-open name re-verify sweep (persisted, runs if >78s since last).
- Advanced 'Manage node connection' opens GRIM's native Connections UI.
- Manual slatepack paste: removed the QR icon. Pay screen: bolder, bigger ツ.
- Localized new strings across 6 locales.
- Republish kind 0 right after claiming a username (was invisible until restart).
- Request card shows a 'Paying…' spinner instead of a dead greyed button.
- Receipt: count confirmations 1/10…10/10 (was stuck at 0/10, jumped to done
at one block); hide the network-fee row on received payments.
- Settings: one 'Back up to a file' flow (GOBLIN-*.backup) replacing copy-nsec
/ copy-JSON; import accepts a .backup file via the native picker.
- Advanced: 'Run your own node' opens the node-connection page (incl. an
integrated-node option); Repair confirms in accent; Restore warns in red.
- Send: drop the 1/10/100/Max chips; Note becomes an Add-note editor.
- Remove the dead profile-picture upload UI and scrub picture wording.
- Localize all new strings across 6 locales; drift test green.
- Onboarding goes Intro -> wallet setup directly (connected to a public node
instantly); the node-choice step is retired.
- External node settings stay in Settings; 'run your own node' (integrated) now
lives in the Advanced submenu.
- Wallet-list: title reads GOBLIN (was WALLETS), dropped the redundant GOBLIN
wordmark under the mark, build number kept but smaller.
A Goblin payment locks the sender's outputs until the recipient replies (S2)
and we finalize+post. If the recipient never connects to nostr, the funds stay
locked until the 24h auto-expiry. This adds a manual Cancel that reclaims them
on demand (after a 10-min grace, or immediately if the send never reached a
relay), marks the payment Cancelled, and best-effort voids it to the recipient.
- WalletTask::NostrCancelSend: authoritative tx lookup; refuses if already
finalized/confirmed (race); marks meta Cancelled BEFORE cancelling the grin
tx; serialized with nostr_finalize_post via a per-service lock so a cancel and
a concurrent S2 finalize can't both commit.
- nostr_finalize_post returns Ok(false) (skip, no retry/re-post) when the tx is
cancelled or the meta is Cancelled — covers the tx-list cancel path too.
- decide() already drops a late S2 on a Cancelled meta (new unit tests assert
it); recipient-side void marks a received payment Cancelled for display WITHOUT
deleting the output (a malicious sender could void-then-post otherwise).
- Void-before-S1 ordering handled via a (slate,sender)-bound marker.
- Receipt: tap-twice 'Cancel payment' with caveat + outcome notice; honest
'Waiting for X to receive…' label; first-class Cancelled status. 6 locales.
- cancel_grace_secs config (default 600).
The right button copied the grin1 slatepack address and the left copied the
nprofile — both wrong for 'how people pay me'. Now: left = Share a friendly
'Pay me on Goblin (goblin.st) — npub1…' message, right = Copy the bare npub.
New receive.copy_npub / receive.share_message keys across all six locales.
The nip05d authority now enforces a 3..=20 length; align the wallet's claim
validation (onboarding + settings) and the 'Names are 3-20 chars' hint across
all six locales so the wallet never offers a name the server will reject.
- Drop the displayed @ prefix everywhere (identity picker, slatepacks page, all copy); @ stays internal for lookups/avatars.
- Settings: move wallet management to the foot — Switch wallet (deselect, stays unlocked), Lock wallet, and a new Advanced page mirroring GRIM's recovery tools (repair, restore-from-seed, reveal recovery phrase, delete).
- Restore the wallet-list title header (reachable settings gear, Pay-screen accent yellow).
- Transport: a transient receive/finalize failure no longer marks the gift wrap processed, so an incoming payment is retried on catch-up instead of being silently lost; finalize-post is now retry-safe (re-posts an already-finalized slate).
- Guard a latent panic on a short sender key in ensure_contact.
- Add more healthy public grin nodes (mainnet + testnet) for redundancy.
- Default first-run onboarding to the Instant connection (public node), shown first.
- Tidy leftover Tor remnants left from the fork.
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.
- Ability to export and verify payment proofs
Some fixes:
- Migrated tx heights store from lmdb (also changed heights key from local id to slate_id to avoid conflict between wallets)
- Close address panel on wallet change
