Heliodex project update – April 2024

I ended up writing this update, forgetting to post it, and then losing it. That's my excuse, anyway welcome back.

Mercury

The domain migration (for the site, at least) is complete, and the site is now hosted on mercury2.com. Subdomains should be working as expected and redirect to their new locations (apart from status.banland.xyz, for some reason).

Other than that, little has changed. Mercury will remain on hiatus for the next two weeks, and the client will be re-released soon after.

Brand new project! As I'm writing this, the repo is basically empty and with no information. It'll be a basic proof-of-concept nostr relay written in Luau. Due to the nature of the Luau ecosystem, it'll have very few external dependencies, which means I'll have to write a lot of code for low-level concepts myself. This is looking to be a bit of a challenge, though I'm making some progress on the first hurdle – a tiny piece of the secp256k1 signing algorithm.

I'm only planning to implement the bare minimum NIP-01 to start with, and then I'll see where I can go from there, as I said about being a proof-of-concept and all.
