Description
monostr is a Nostr client for Android with tips in Monero.
Nostr, the way you know it
• Feed of the people you follow, threads, profiles with Posts, Replies, Reposts, Articles and Lists tabs
• Like, repost, quote, reply; mentions, hashtags and links you can tap
• Pictures and videos up to 2 minutes in notes and your own uploads (Blossom), sensitive content blurred
• Read long-form articles (NIP-23) right in the app, with likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks and tips; links to articles, live streams and other events show as cards
• Private messages (NIP-17), private bookmarks and mutes (NIP-51)
• Search for people and notes (NIP-50), notifications for likes, reposts, replies and tips
• Your relay list (NIP-65); write relays of an author are added while their profile is open
• Sign in with Amber (NIP-55), a key, or a password-protected key backup (ncryptsec, NIP-49); you can also back up your key with a password; light and dark theme, 8 languages
Tips in Monero
• Tip a note or a profile from your own wallet app (Unstoppable, monfluo, Cake …) through a monero: link
• monostr holds no wallet and no spend key
• To receive tips there are two ways. Either just publish your Monero address (NIP-A3 payto): others pay from their wallet, without a receipt in monostr
• Or you register your address and private view key with a watcher (watcher.monostr.com by default, or your own). The watcher sees your incoming payments and publishes signed tip receipts on Nostr, so everybody sees the tip on the note
• Anonymous tips are possible
Open
monostr is free software (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Notes, likes and reposts say “via monostr” (off by default, can be switched on).
monostr is in beta.
