[public review] Draft conventions for building applications on top of Nano

I’ve been working on an effort to document open, practical conventions for building applications on top of Nano - covering what I think are "missing puzzle pieces" within the community, notes on payment integration, formalization of technical decisions made along the way,

and I’m now opening the current drafts for public technical review:

The OpenRai Initiative Standards (ORIS) repository

Of the set of drafts so far, I personally think are most broadly useful are:

ORIS-007 - Nano Application-Level Metadata, Correlation, and Signaling Patterns

ORIS-008 - Reliable Nano Payment Integration

ORIS-001 - Nano Off-chain Message Signing (NOMS)

ORIS-006 - Nano CAIP Identifiers

The repository also includes more specialized payment-interface and NanoNyms formalities...

DISCLAIMER: These documents do not claim authority, and they do not become normative merely by being written down. They are open proposals for discussion and review, not official Nano protocol specifications.

Even at this stage, formalizing these conventions has proved valuable in agentic AI development and design. It gives humans and agents a precise shared reference, exposes ambiguities early, and makes implementation decisions easier to review.

I am particularly interested in feedback from other people who maintain wallets, SDKs, payment services, RPC providers, or other Nano applications:

  • Do they describe existing Nano behavior correctly?
  • Are important edge cases missing?
  • Where might two competent implementers interpret the text differently?
  • Do you have some nagging itch you think ought to be considered for inclusion?

Keep buidling!@

Announcing Nano Snapshot Swarm beta: community-run BitTorrent ledger snapshots

https://nano-snapshots.openrai.org

Background

The goal is to evaluate an independently operated BitTorrent distribution path for (reasonably-) up-to-date Nano ledger snapshots.

The project continuously publishes a signed pointer to the current snapshot and provides a shrink-wrapped mirror client. Run it once for a single download, or leave it online to automatically discover updates, download the missing deltas, and contribute back by seeding the latest snapshot for other users.

How it works (three components)

  • Publisher: An single automated publisher distributes a signed Mainline DHT BitTorrent BEP-46 Mutable Item.
  • Mirrors: (just BEP-46 aware bittorrent clients, really) poll the DHT pointer every now and then. When a newer snapshot is published, it resolves the new .torrent, rechecks existing data, downloads the missing delta, and continues on to seed the updated snapshot. Anyone can contribute.
  • Regular downloads: You can also use Deluge, Transmission, or another regular BitTorrent client with the most current .torrent or magnet: for a one-time download. Those clients typically do not permanently follow the signed DHT update pointer; if permanent seeding is desired, use the provided mirror client.

This is a community-run beta and is not currently an official Nano Foundation or nano.org service. Nano Snapshot Swarm is also the first public project from The OpenRai Initiative.

❣️ Please report operational feedback, especially around reliability, restart recovery, peer discovery, and bandwidth.

Volver el sitio web oficial software libre

Recientemente los administradores del sitio web «oficial» de Nano decidieron de un cañonazo quitar todas las traducciones a otros idiomas, sin previo aviso.

No solo son problemáticas estas acciones, sino también demuestras una falta de profesionalidad y buena fe. La calidad del sitio web es pésima y contiene códigos de rastreo, que consideramos intolerables para una criptomoneda que defiende ser ecológica y eficiente. En concreto nos referimos al siguiente código JavaScript ofuscado:

<!-- Google Tag Manager --> <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl+ '&gtm_auth=vO5boTQEhTbWp-L5bNclUw&gtm_preview=env-1&gtm_cookies_win=x';f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-T422X4Q');</script> <!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

Sin embargo, existen más instancias de este tipo de problemas.

Title: I built a censorship-free social app where posts earn feeless XNO tips — signed on your phone, and it updates itself over its own network. Alpha, looking for testers.

Hey r/nanocurrency — I've been building ӾChat: an X/Twitter-style app for Android, but with no company, no accounts, no app store — and where tipping is real, feeless Nano.

Why this community specifically will get it: the whole thing runs on Nano. You tip a post and it's instant, feeless XNO, settled from your own phone with your own key — no "platform credits," no minimums, no middleman cut. Feeless microtransactions are the one thing that makes tipping-as-a-primitive actually work, and Nano is the only chain I'd build it on.

What's different:

  • You are your key. Your account is a Nano keypair — restore your seed on any phone and your posts, follows, and tips all come back. Nothing to seize, no login to lose.
  • Censorship-resistant. Posts are signed events on plural, independent relays anyone can run.
  • It updates itself. New versions arrive over the app's own network — publisher-signed and hash-verified on your phone before an explicit-tap install. No Play Store in the trust path.

Early alpha, want feedback from people who actually use Nano. Android-only for now (Apple gates sideloading), so the first install is a manual APK with published checksums.

Download + how it works: https://xchat-alpha-node.fly.dev
Source + whitepaper: github.com/stefanbx/xchat-alpha

Happy to go deep on the architecture (on-device signing, the relay/tip model, self-delivery). Roast it — that's what alpha is for.

feeless.money FAQ mostly for Beginner

I need to make a decision this month about feeless.money and BTC-EDU.bot.

Both projects are functional and solve a real problem. The feedback from people who actually use them — especially beginners — is consistently very positive.

The problem is not the product. It is reach.

Whenever I promote the projects myself, usage increases strongly and I receive very positive feedback. But once I stop promoting them, the traffic and usage drop back to almost zero.

I have invested a lot of time building and maintaining these projects and have been paying the ongoing infrastructure and subscription costs myself. Until now, I was willing to do that because I believe both projects are useful.

But I now need to generate income from my work. I cannot continue running non-profit projects indefinitely while paying the costs myself.

So this month I have to decide whether to reduce the costs and eventually shut them down, or whether there is a realistic way to make them sustainable.

I’m not asking for donations.

I’m asking the communities around these projects:

Is there a way to create enough reach, users, partners, support or revenue to justify keeping them alive?

If you have a concrete idea, can help with distribution, want to partner, or see a business model I’m missing, I’d genuinely like to hear it.

I would much rather keep useful tools alive than shut them down simply because nobody knows they exist.

Built a Proof-of-Concept: WebTorrent P2P Streaming with Real-Time Nano ($XNO) Settlement for Seeders &amp; Creators

¡Hola a todos! 👋

Estoy trabajando en un proyecto de código abierto llamado Web Limpia (Web Limpia), un paradigma que busca reemplazar la publicidad invasiva y las suscripciones con transmisión P2P directa y micropagos sin comisiones.

Acabo de crear y probar con éxito un MVP funcional que combina WebTorrent (WebRTC) y Nano ($XNO). Aquí tienes un desglose de su funcionamiento interno y los resultados de las pruebas exitosas:

⚙️ Cómo funciona la arquitectura

  1. Intercambio de extensión BEP-10 (Protocolo P2P): Cuando los pares se conectan mediante WebRTC, utilizamos el protocolo de extensión BEP-10 (NanoExtension) para que los seeders y leechers intercambien sus direcciones de billetera Nano (nano_...) durante el protocolo inicial en tiempo real, sin depender de bases de datos ni servidores centralizados.
  2. Contabilidad de piezas fuera de la cadena y reparto de incentivos: Mientras se reproduce la transmisión, el cliente registra la cantidad exacta de piezas/fragmentos entregados por cada seeder. Al final de la sesión, un comprobante fuera de la cadena calcula el fondo de recompensas proporcional:
  • Participación del creador: Pago fijo del 60 %.
  • Participación de los Sembradores: 40% distribuido de forma estrictamente proporcional al número de piezas aportadas por cada participante.
  1. Liquidación Multidestino en la Cadena: Dado que Nano no tiene comisiones y se procesa en fracciones de segundo, la billetera del usuario firma y transmite los pagos secuenciales directamente en la cadena. Para evitar condiciones de carrera y el bloqueo del estado de la cuenta durante transacciones rápidas, los pagos se ejecutan mediante una canalización de promesas asíncronas.

📊 Registros de pruebas exitosas

Durante nuestra última prueba multi-peer:

  • Cálculo fuera de la cadena:
  • Creador (60%): 0.000613 XNO
  • Sembrador 1 (proporcional a las piezas enviadas): 0.000305 XNO
  • Sembrador 2 (proporcional a las piezas enviadas): 0.000002 XNO
  • Hashes de confirmación en la cadena:
  • Bloque del creador: D8A77A62...
  • Bloque del sembrador 1: A2BF1A02...
  • Bloque del sembrador 2: DE5B9B43...

Los 3 pagos fueron firmados, transmitidos y confirmados en la cadena. ¡Nano Mainnet en fracciones de segundo y sin comisiones de red!

💡 ¿Por qué combinar WebTorrent + Nano?

  • Resuelve el problema de los incentivos para los seeders: WebTorrent es excelente para reducir los costos de ancho de banda, pero mantener activos a los seeders a largo plazo es difícil. Las microrecompensas instantáneas y sin comisiones hacen que la siembra sea financieramente autosostenible.
  • Monetización directa para creadores: Los creadores reciben pagos de menos de un centavo directamente en sus billeteras, sin intermediarios ni comisiones de la plataforma.

💬 Solicitud de comentarios (RFC)

  • ¿Qué opinas sobre usar BEP-10 para el intercambio de direcciones de billetera en lugar de metadatos anunciados por el rastreador?
  • Para la transmisión a gran escala, ¿prefieres liquidaciones directas en la cadena por sesión o implementar canales de pago fuera de la cadena (agregación de capa 2)?

Bitcoin Lightning Network backend with a Nano settlement rail

Bitcoin Lightning Network backend with a Nano settlement rail

Customers modify nothing, accepting and sending Bitcoin work exactly as before

It makes the customer-facing Lightning backend immune to pinning, jamming, and force-close races by replacing that backend with Nano settlement and federation custody. It does not claim to make the public Lightning Network itself trustless.

paying and receiving arbitrary BOLT11 invoices through collateralized Lightning Liquidity Providers, without the gateway ever opening a channel

It is profitable when processing a large volume. Because the settlement rail is fee-free, any added fees become direct profit

Replacing P2P Trust in MMORPG Trades With Nano Automation

I've been experimenting with integrating Nano into a web MMORPG. A common problem in these games is trading in-game items for real-world money (and vice versa), which usually rely on P2P trust and external marketplaces.

This problem can be solved by using Nano with an escrow system, maintaining speed and user-friendliness while removing the risk of traditional game item to money trades.

This game uses Nano in:

  • Automated Nano Escrow for Nano trades: This replaces P2P trust with an automated guarantee
  • Game Integration: Players earn a small amount of Nano upon their first Skeleton King defeat
  • Microtransactions: Nano can be spent instantly on items from players or the in-game store

Clean Web MVP: Disruption in Music Streaming – Direct P2P Royalties &amp; Flexible Monetization for Independent Artists 🎵⚡

Hi everyone!

I’m back with another update on the Clean Web MVP! This time, I built a prototype for an independent music store & streaming platform to tackle one of the most broken industries on the web: music distribution.

❌ The Problem with Web2 Music Streaming

  • For Listeners: Forced into monthly subscriptions or bombarded with aggressive ads.
  • For Independent Artists: Promised "global exposure", but trapped in an exploitative system where platforms pay fractions of a cent (~$0.003/stream) after middleman fees, record labels, and corporate cuts.

🌐 The Clean Web Alternative

By leveraging instantaneous, fee-less P2P micro-payments (powered by Nano/XNO), we give complete economic freedom back to creators and listeners:

  1. Pay-Per-Stream: Pay tiny fractions of a cent instantly as you listen.
  2. Freemium via Navigation Battery: Interact voluntarily with a contextual ad to refill your wallet/battery and stream for free while the artist still gets paid 100% in real-time.
  3. Direct Album Purchases: Buy full albums directly P2P with zero platform fees.
  4. VIP Passes / Fan Subscriptions: Unlock exclusive perks and unreleased tracks to support artists directly.

🧪 How to test the Music MVP Live:

  1. Download & Install Extension: Install the Clean Web browser extension.
  2. Charge Your Navigation Battery: Load up your extension wallet (either via your own Nano/XNO or using the voluntary ad-refill feature).
  3. Try the Streaming Demo: Go to https://kamina2025.github.io/clean-web-mvp/exp-musica/exp_musica.html and test the pay-per-stream, album purchase, and VIP pass flows.

>⚠️ Note on Transactions: All payments made during this live demo are real micro-transactions on the mainnet sent directly to the official project wallet.

Check out the code on GitHub or test the demo above! I’d love to hear your thoughts on applying direct P2P micro-payments to audio streaming! 💬👇
