Ship the punks at the size we actually draw them.

2026-09-11T05:51:56Z

The art is 240x240 (20KB each, 1.5MB for the set) because that's what a punk published as someone's nostr picture should be — but the circles the app draws are 18 to 64px, so a new wallet with nothing cached was fetching eight times the pixels it could show, one request per face. punks-sm carries a 128px copy of each: 4KB instead of 20KB, indistinguishable at 64px. Small circles and the wizard's picker tiles load those; only the 64px profile avatar and the value the wizard publishes stay full-size. The bigger win is that a punk picture is our own art wherever it turns up. Everyone who keeps the default publishes v3.coinos.io/punks/N.webp as their nostr picture, so those faces now paint straight off disk at the size being drawn — no request, no thumbnail to make, and no broken circle when the legacy coinos.io copies 502 (which they do for a third of the set).

Recipient search warms its pipes on focus, not first keystroke: the Primal cache socket, the registrar's TLS session, and the NIP-50 relay connections each cost a handshake that used to land on the first query — the cold second of dead air. Touching the send recipient field, opening user search, or unfolding New message now pre-opens all three (throttled; the idle reaper still closes the socket a minute after real use)

Hats: put your money where your head is — supporter hats perch above the avatar everywhere it appears, from 21-sat beanie to 2.1M-sat top hat; the crown stays on the founder

The wizard waits out a signer login; a picked recipient shows its work, and search answers from memory before the network

Avatars stop flashing everywhere: backgrounds, not

2026-08-04T08:50:24Z

A recreated decodes async — one blank frame per render, and boot renders in bursts. A CSS background paints synchronously from cache, so the profile page, chat rows, and send candidates all hold steady now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5

Zap screens show the recipient, cap amounts to Spending, faster search

2026-08-03T14:48:31Z

The zap flows (ark-direct and Lightning) show the recipient's avatar chip instead of a bare name, and their LNURL ceiling is now capped by our own Spending balance — when Spending can't cover their minimum the amount field is replaced by a plain "not enough in Spending" notice rather than an impossible "min 1 · max 0" range. The confirm path enforces the same cap. Recipient search feels instant now: the first short query fires after 120ms (the wait users actually notice) and longer mid-word queries wait 500ms to skip characters still being typed; cached prefixes stay instant. Onboarding success screen: check below the title and larger. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Wvj4aoeMZwA7VUGdJP9Swi

Self-host the punks; skipping avatar still publishes your punk

2026-08-03T14:42:24Z

coinos.io serves 502 for a third of the punk set (both the numbered and hash endpoints), which is why a default avatar could come up blank. The 64 webps now ship with the app (53 salvaged, 11 gaps filled with donors) and every reference is same-origin. Skipping the avatar step publishes the deterministic punk as the kind-0 picture — your face is the same on every nostr client. Success screen: checkmark now sits below the title, bigger.

Identity polish: 12-char npub default names, no ellipsis, copyable npub

2026-08-03T02:45:21Z

The registrar's auto-claimed username and every npub-fallback display name use the npub's first 12 characters, shown whole (no truncation dots), and the profile page's npub gets a copy button. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Wvj4aoeMZwA7VUGdJP9Swi

Punk default avatars, header profile button, owner channel creation

2026-08-03T02:39:00Z

Everyone gets a face: profiles without a picture fall back to a coinos punk, picked deterministically by the pubkey's last byte — the same 64 webps and formula the coinos app uses (initials show through if the image can't load). Your own avatar moves from the chat home to the app header next to the wallet selector, opening your editable profile from anywhere. Community owners can add channels from the room's + panel: one owner-signed ChannelMetadata edition (CORD-03), and every member's channel switcher grows when the fold lands.

Pay an npub: ark > lightning > on-chain, and fix the orphaned LN seams

2026-08-03T01:17:27Z

Picking a search result (or pasting an npub) now resolves every way the person can be paid and takes the best: their kind-10037 ark advert; an ark= instruction in BIP-353 via their coinos name (registrar /pubkey returns the URI directly) or their nip05 name's own DNS record (a bare domain is the BIP-353 "_" user); then Lightning from profile lud16/ lud06 through the zap flow; then a BIP-353 on-chain address as last resort. Search results no longer put the nip05 identifier in the fill value — that's how fiatjaf.com ended up as a dead recipient. Along the way: the zaps feature's canLnPay/startLnPay seams had no provider since the swaps feature retired, so the whole Lightning-zap path was unreachable. Ark provides both now (the ASP pays invoices natively), which also revives zapping any LN-only npub.
