This very cheap off the shelf nostr signing device is designed to work with Lilygos Tdisplay, but you can easily make work with any ESP32.

Data is sent to/from the Signing Device over webdev Serial, not the most secure data transmission method, but x1000 better than storing the privatekey on a computer. Clients could support sending to the device directly, but using is Nos2X is far more convenient.

Install instructions

• Flash the nostr-signing firmware directly from the browser using the installer

  Build instructions

• Buy a Lilygo Tdisplay (although with a little tinkering any ESP32 will do)

• Install Arduino IDE 1.8.19

• Install ESP32 boards, using boards manager

• Download this repo

• Copy these libraries into your Arduino install "libraries" folder

• Open this snsd.ino file in the Arduino IDE

• Select "TTGO-LoRa32-OLED-V1" from tools>board

• Upload to device
