v0.1.2 - NIP-46 Bunker Fix

Pleb Signer v0.1.2

Bug Fixes

NIP-46 Bunker Listener Fixed

The NIP-46 bunker functionality was not working properly - the listener would start but immediately exit, causing the connection state to return to "Disconnected".

Root Cause: The bunker listener was using tokio::spawn() which doesn't work when the main thread's tokio runtime isn't being actively polled.

Solution: Changed to use std::thread::spawn with a dedicated tokio runtime inside the spawned thread.

Testing the Bunker

After starting Pleb Signer, test the bunker via D-Bus:

# Start bunker listener
busctl --user call com.plebsigner.Signer /com/plebsigner/Signer com.plebsigner.Signer1 StartBunker

# Check state (should show WaitingForConnection)
busctl --user call com.plebsigner.Signer /com/plebsigner/Signer com.plebsigner.Signer1 GetBunkerState

# Stop bunker
busctl --user call com.plebsigner.Signer /com/plebsigner/Signer com.plebsigner.Signer1 StopBunker

v0.1.1 - NIP-46 Bunker Remote Signing

Pleb Signer v0.1.1 Release Notes

What's New

🌐 NIP-46 Bunker Remote Signing

The headline feature of this release is full NIP-46 bunker support for remote signing!

What does this mean?

• Sign Nostr events from any device (phone, web browser, CLI)
• Your private keys never leave your desktop
• Works over Nostr relays - no direct network connection needed
• Perfect for using mobile clients while keeping keys secure at home

Features Implemented

• ✅ BunkerSigner integration into application state
• ✅ D-Bus methods: StartBunker, GetBunkerUri, StopBunker, GetBunkerState
• ✅ Auto-connect to default relays (relay.nsec.app, relay.damus.io)
• ✅ Support for all NIP-46 methods: sign_event, nip04/nip44_encrypt/decrypt, ping
• ✅ Test script for verifying bunker functionality

How to Use

1. Start Pleb Signer

   pleb-signer

2. Enable bunker mode (via D-Bus)

   dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=com.plebsigner.Signer \
     /com/plebsigner/Signer com.plebsigner.Signer1.StartBunker

3. Get your bunker URI (from the response above)

   bunker://your-pubkey-here?relay=wss://relay.nsec.app&relay=wss://relay.damus.io
   

4. Scan the QR code (or paste URI) in your remote Nostr client

5. Sign events remotely! Your desktop handles all signing securely

Testing

Run the included test script:

./test_bunker.sh
