Bitcoin riding the ostrich!

A 57mm strip of dead tree carrying a full cryptographic identity: 12-word BIP39 mnemonic, NIP-06 derived keypair, LNbits wallet with NWC pairing, and a @coincreek.com Lightning Address. Everything the recipient needs — printed as QR codes for air-gapped, offline-first backup.

Cash doesn't scale to micropayments. Bank cards don't work on nostr. nsnip bridges the gap: hand someone a paper snippet, they scan the claim QR, enter their PIN, and they're live on the Lightning Network and nostr — zero app installs, zero signup flows.

Bitcoin Ostrich

Anatomy of an nsnip

Each snippet is a self-contained nostr + lightning onboarding kit

📄

Paper Layer

57mm thermal fold-label with QR codes for claim URL, npub, and Lightning Address. Custom artwork via dithered bitmap. Fits any receipt printer.

🔒

Crypto Layer

nsec + seed encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Key derived via PBKDF2-SHA256 (600k rounds) from HMAC-derived PIN. Server holds ciphertext only. Self-destruct after claim.

⚡

Lightning Layer

LNbits wallet provisioned via API. NWC pairing URL for Alby, Amethyst & co. Lightning Address user@coincreek.com for receiving zaps. Wallet funded = ready to send.

🌐

Nostr Layer

kind:0 profile + kind:10002 relay list published at generation time. NIP-05 verified @coincreek.com handle. Deterministic neon avatar & banner derived from pubkey. Import nsec into any client and go.
