Nostrify

Core Lightning plugin that sends events to Nostr

Quickstart

Clone this repo into your /plugins folder. You'll need to run pip3 install -r requirements.txt

By default Nostrify uses lightning-cli makesecret string=nostr to generate a Nostr key for you. This generates a psuedorandom secret based off of your HSM_secret.

See the documentation for makesecret here

To find the pubkey of your node run:

$ lightning-cli nostrifypubkey
"npub1sqqres47s8x9ztva4nn525j5w72l23tvw0rh04t49h3gg5xccq7spvtqzs"

Required Settings (nostr_relay, nostr_pubkey)

Nostrify sends events as DMs. To receive events as an encrypted DM you must set a pubkey in your config file.

You will also need to set some relays with the nostr_relay option, you can set multiple if you like. For example:

# Nostrify
nostr_relay=wss://nostr.klabo.blog
nostr_relay=wss://relay.damus.io
nostr_pubkey=2f4fa408d85b962d1fe717daae148a4c98424ab2e10c7dd11927e101ed3257b2

Disabling Events

You can disable certain events from being sent by setting nostr_disable_event (you can set this multiple times). For example if you wanted to disable connection events and forwards that didn't succeed you could add this to your config file:

Events you can disable:

• connect
• disconnect
• forward_offered
• forward_failed

nostr_disable_event=connect
nostr_disable_event=disconnect
nostr_disable_event=forward_offered
nostr_disable_event=forward_failed

If there are others you want to disable open and issue and I'll try and add them.
