Owners had no way to put a real page behind a name without running Sia
tooling themselves. Sirius Studio (studio.html, js/studio.js) embeds
GrapesJS (BSD-3, vendored under vendor/grapesjs so nothing loads from a
third party) with three starter templates; Publish exports one
self-contained index.html plus the editor project, uploads both to the
name's own folder bns/<name>/ on Sia, and sets the s3 record on chain if
the name does not point there yet. Drafts save to the same folder.
Gateway: /api/site/<name>[/<path>] — list, read-through, PUT and DELETE.
Every write carries a wallet signature over (name, path, body hash,
timestamp) that must recover to the current NFT owner, and writes are
confined to bns/<name>/ so no name can touch another name's bucket.
Dashboard menu is now Web-Builder, Domain names, My TLDs, Settings, Sign
out; Overview and Wallet folded into Domain names and Settings, Docs is a
link in Settings.
Menu, panes, DNS table, transfer, export, settings and the new session
copy get German, Greek, Russian, Spanish, French and Portuguese entries;
Greek and Russian keep the "blockchain" wording. Dictionary cache version
bumped so returning visitors pick the new strings up.
The portal was a flat page with tabs that asked for the password or PIN on
every visit and offered little beyond a records form. Owners need a
control panel they can live in.
Sign in once: the recovery phrase is kept encrypted under a
non-extractable browser key (IndexedDB) so the next visit opens the
dashboard silently; sign-out or the Settings toggle destroys it. Payments
approve with one click unless "Ask for PIN before payments" is on.
Dashboard: left menu (Overview, Domain names, My TLD list, Wallet,
Register name/TLD, Settings). Per-name detail with a summary, a DNS
record table (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA) that signs the
manifest, content & hosting (h, s3, p, ip, tls), a redirect tab (u),
ownership transfer (UPD that re-issues the certificate to the recipient)
and zone-file/JSON export. Per-TLD detail with policy, on/off, owner
registration and the public list of names under it. Overview flags names
that point nowhere or lack DNS.
Same reasoning as the Russian fix: "αλυσίδα" is a literal "chain" that
Greek readers do not use for a blockchain, which is normally written as
the loanword. Every Greek string now uses "blockchain" with the neuter
article in the right case. Dictionary cache version bumped.
"Цепочка" is a literal rendering of "chain" that Russian readers do not
use for a blockchain. The headline now states plainly that these are
domain names on the blockchain, and every other Russian string uses
"блокчейн" in the right case. Dictionary cache version bumped so
returning visitors pick up the new wording.
The native select sat mid-nav next to the font pill and was easy to miss.
Replace it with a custom dropdown placed just before the wallet button:
globe icon, the current language's flag and native name, a menu of all
languages with flags. Flags are tiny inline SVGs rather than emoji
(Windows renders flag emoji as bare letters) or a flag CDN (no third-party
request from the visitor's browser). Painted on window load so it lands
after the deferred nav scripts; keyboard: arrows, Escape, click outside.
Visitors should not have to read English to register a name. The pages
stay authored in English; js/i18n.js picks the language from the saved
choice, ?lang=, or the browser, fetches i18n/<lang>.json (exact English
text -> translation) and rewrites text nodes, placeholders, titles and the
page title. A MutationObserver keeps script-built content (search rows,
register modal, portal rows, footer, profile menu) translated, so no page
script had to change. A dropdown in the top nav switches languages and
back to English losslessly. Code, hashes, addresses and record keys are
never touched. Ships German, Greek, Russian, Spanish, French and
Portuguese; the docs page keeps its English prose and only gains the
translated chrome.
A TLD owner needed to run their namespace without the operator: set what
every name under the TLD sells for, take the TLD off the public registry
for a while, and still register names under it themselves.
Both settings live on chain in the TLD's TUPD records (`price`, `hidden`)
because changes are rare and every client already walks the TLD beacon.
The gateway's /api/tlds now carries records, owner, price_usd and
hidden_by per TLD; pricing.js quotes the owner price ahead of the length
tiers and only trusts a TLD_BEACON-sourced list; the register flow refuses
hidden and frozen TLDs for the public but lets the owner through at the
platform share only (the 90% owner cut would be paid to themselves). The
portal's TLDs tab loads real holdings, shows price and on/off state, and
gives each TLD a one-click switch, a price/policy editor and an inline
"register a name under .tld" form. Docs and the design table describe the
two new records.
Design translated from the /design canvas review. Sirius.X now shares
Deviant's "signal" theme background (layered sky-rim/mid gradients over
#050810) and the Silent Mode family typography stack.
Typography:
Fraunces (opsz variable serif) headings h1/h2/h3
DM Sans body / UI
JetBrains Mono code, hashes, mono cells
Ubuntu opt-in Bitcoin Cash brand font,
swaps everything at :root when
<html data-font-cmp="ubuntu">
All via Google Fonts, one <link> per page.
Font picker (js/theme.js):
Small pill in the topnav (Fraunces default / Ubuntu alt) — persisted
to localStorage.sirius-font. Sets the data-font-cmp attribute; the
swap CSS lives in each page's <style> block so !important overrides
page-local font-family declarations at the necessary specificity.
Mono elements stay JetBrains Mono under both fonts.
Palette (cool sky vs old flat dark navy):
--bg #0b0e14 → #050810
--panel2 #18202c → #0a0f1c (matches Deviant --sky-mid)
--line rgba(255,255,255,.09) → .06
--ink #e7eaf1 → #f1f4fa
--mut #8b98a9 → #b8c2d4
--dim #5e6678 → #6a7488
new: --sky-rim #131a2a, --chain-native #0AC18E (BCH brand green,
reserved for chain-native badges/proofs like the Bitcoin.Cash
body copy)
Copy — "no renewals" softened everywhere it appeared. Renewals will
be a per-TLD policy set by each TLD owner; the flat claim was wrong
across the board. Landing card, tld.html hero and body, plus the
og:description all updated.
Applied to: index.html, portal.html, tld.html, theseus/index.html,
brand/index.html, docs/index.html, admin/index.html.
TLD price tiers (pricing.js):
1 char $500 (was $10)
2 char $250 (was $8)
3 char $150 (was $6)
4-6ch $100 (was $5)
7-10ch $50 (was $5)
11+ch $25 (was $4)
Payment approval (register-flow.js):
New stepApprove(...) gates the actual sign+broadcast on an explicit
user gesture — PIN pad when a PIN blob exists on this device, wallet
password otherwise. Same "3 wrong PINs → wipe, fall back to password"
behavior as the sign-in unlock step. Wired between stepConfirm(Tld)?
and stepRegister(Tld)? so both name mints and TLD mints require
approval even when the wallet is already in memory.
tld.html fee card: reflects the new $25–$500 range instead of the
"≈ 1,250,000 sat · ≈ $5" placeholder.
Removes the sessionStorage plaintext-mnemonic cache (fixed under the
same commit) and replaces it with a PIN-encrypted blob in localStorage.
No plaintext secret ever touches disk or memory outside the live
BuiltInWallet object.
New js/pin-escrow.js — WebCrypto PBKDF2(50k) + AES-GCM(256). Public
API on window.siriusPin: savePinBlob(mnemonic, pin), tryUnlock(pin),
hasPin(), attemptsUsed(), attemptsRemaining(), clear(), MAX_ATTEMPTS.
Iteration count is lighter than BuiltInWallet's 250k because a 4-6
digit PIN's key space is small anyway; the point is 'not plaintext at
rest,' not brute-force resistance — the durable secret is the full
password.
register-flow.js:
- After a fresh password unlock (Import / Create / Unlock), stepSetPin
offers a 4-6 digit PIN with confirm — skippable with 'Not now'.
Never overwrites an existing PIN blob.
- stepUnlock now shows a numeric PIN pad when a PIN blob is present;
the password field only appears when the user opts to 'Use password
instead' or after the blob was wiped.
- Wrong PIN → increment counter, surface 'N attempts left'. Third
wrong PIN → wipe blob and route to a 'PIN reset' screen that hands
off to the password form.
- Correct PIN → decrypt the mnemonic in-browser, rebuild the
BuiltInWallet, finishSignIn(). Attempt counter resets to 0.
profile-menu.js:
- Sign-out clears the PIN blob (via siriusPin.clear()) alongside the
siriusProfile so the device isn't quick-unlockable with a stale PIN.
All pages that host the sign-in flow now include pin-escrow.js. Same
tabbed layout in stepUnlock — the PIN pad and the password field both
live under 🔓 Unlock, transparent tab-switch works exactly as before.
Verified live:
- Fresh Import → 'Set a PIN' step → 4242 confirmed → blob written
- Reload → PIN pad, 3 attempts remaining
- Correct PIN 4242 → signed in, counter resets to 0
- 3 wrong PIN attempts → 'Wrong PIN — N attempts left' per attempt,
then 'PIN locked — enter your full password to continue', blob
wiped, next reload shows the password form
- localStorage contains only ciphertext + salt + iv + counter; no
plaintext mnemonic anywhere on disk or in sessionStorage.
Two issues reported after an Import sign-in:
1. Done button was stuck — user saw the ✓ Signed in screen but the
portal never switched to the names view. Root cause: finishSignIn
fired siriusProfileChanged BEFORE setting window.siriusWallet, so
the portal's listener called adoptWalletFromModal() while
window.siriusWallet was still null, saw no wallet, and did nothing.
Fix: expose the live wallet BEFORE writeProfile so the sync
listener sees it and can enterPortal() immediately.
2. Every reload asked for the password again. Cache the wallet's
mnemonic in sessionStorage on sign-in — same tab (or a page
reload) rebuilds the BuiltInWallet silently via
BuiltInWallet.fromMnemonic; a full browser close clears
sessionStorage and the user is back at the Unlock tab.
sessionStorage is per-origin per-tab so an XSS on Sirius.X pages
would still be able to read it — that's the tradeoff for the
convenience. Chipnet only; mainnet gets the PIN escrow pattern
(3 wrong PIN tries → escalate to password) that Digibyte.x/web
already uses. PIN implementation is deferred to its own commit.
portal.html adoptWalletFromModal now tries sessionStorage after the
in-memory check; register-flow.js startFlow/startTldFlow do the same
via a new async adoptSessionWalletAsync so name and TLD mints on any
page reuse the session wallet with no re-prompt. profile-menu.js
sign-out clears sessionStorage + window.siriusWallet so signing out
really does drop the user.
Sign-in on the portal was a single 'Sign in or create wallet' button
that opened a shared modal with four tabs. Replace with the inline
version: register-flow.js paints the tab bar and active form directly
into #signin-inline via siriusRenderSignInInline(), so nothing pops.
Reads as one flow instead of two clicks + a modal, and it stays on
the portal — refreshing the page keeps context. Same underlying flow
(unlock / create / import / WizardConnect); only the container moved.
Every second-level name registration under a TLD now routes 90% of the
service fee to whoever holds that TLD's certificate on chain, with 10%
going to the platform address. That's the economic incentive for
minting a TLD: you earn from every name registered under it.
The mechanism, end to end:
1. resolver-web.js fetchTldMap now also records mintScriptHex — the
scriptPubKey of the TREG output that carries each TLD's NFT.
Exported so registrar can decode it into a cashaddr with libauth.
MVP: this is the ORIGINAL owner; NFT transfers after mint are not
traced yet (a follow-up will walk the chain of transfers).
2. registrar.js gains findTldOwnerAddress(client, tld) and
splitServiceFee(sats). The split constants live at the top of the
file (TLD_OWNER_SHARE_NUM/DEN = 90/100) so the ratio moves in one
place. Rounding: BigInt division favours the platform on odd sat
counts so the two shares always sum EXACTLY to the input.
3. quoteRegistration wraps the existing flow: it derives the TLD from
the name, looks up the TLD owner, and if the owner ≠ buyer it asks
buildRegistrationTx to add a second fee output. If the owner
couldn't be resolved (TLD not registered, decode failure) the full
fee stays on the platform address — the buyer still pays the same
amount either way.
4. register-tx.js buildRegistrationTx accepts tldFeeAddress/tldFeeSats
and, when set, emits an extra P2PKH output for the TLD owner. Sits
between the beacon dust and the platform-fee output; outputMap
records .tldOwnerFee so callers can find it. costs also carries
tldOwnerFeeSats and netCostSats includes it.
5. priceSummary in registrar-config splits the 'Service fee' row into
'Service fee — TLD owner (90%)' + 'Service fee — platform (10%)'
whenever tldOwnerFeeSats > 0, with a per-line note explaining
where the money goes.
Bundle: re-exported findTldOwnerAddress + splitServiceFee from
register-entry.js. Rebuilt bns-register.js (~34 kB) and deployed;
cache-buster bumped to ?v=20260908split on portal / admin /
register-flow.js.
Verified live: findTldOwnerAddress('.bch') returns the operator
cashaddr; quoteRegistration('tester42.bch') builds cleanly with a
9,000/1,000 split output pair on a 10,000-sat fee; priceSummary
renders both lines. No regressions on the TLD-mint flow (buyer IS
the TLD owner there — split short-circuits and it stays a single
fee output as before).
/sirius-x/portal.html?mode=import was landing users on the old three-card
inline sign-in UI (New / Import / WizardConnect each as its own form).
The new UX is: one tabbed modal, everywhere. Portal was the one page
still shipping the legacy cards.
Replaces the whole <section id='signin'> with a single launcher card
('🔑 Sign in or create wallet' → opens the shared modal). The old
handlers (, , etc.) are
comment-blocked out; new script uses window.siriusSignInWallet().
?mode=new|import|wc|unlock auto-opens the modal at that tab (the same
handler dropdown items use). If the user arrives with a siriusProfile
but no in-memory wallet (e.g., they signed in on another page), portal
opens the modal at Unlock (or Import when no saved wallet). Sign-out
delegates to the shared signOutUi(). Cross-tab and same-tab profile
changes both re-adopt.
register-flow.js: finishSignIn now sets window.siriusWallet so portal
(and any other page loaded in the same tab) can pick the wallet up
without re-prompting for a password. In-memory only — reload/nav clears
it, and the profile listener falls through to Unlock.
Two features:
1. Operator can hide TLDs from the public /api/tlds listing so hidden
TLDs stop appearing in name-search UIs. On-chain registrations
under a hidden TLD keep resolving — this is a UX filter, not
enforcement.
Gateway (public-gateway.mjs):
- Persistent HIDDEN_TLDS set backed by hidden-tlds.json next to
the service script
- GET /api/tld-visibility -> {hidden:[...]} (public)
- POST /api/tld-visibility -> updates the list (operator-gated by
Bearer BNS_OPERATOR_TOKEN env var; if unset, all writes refused
so we default-deny)
- /api/tlds filters out HIDDEN_TLDS; add ?include_hidden=1 to see
everything (used by the admin panel to show all rows)
- Operator token installed via systemd override on the VPS
Admin panel:
- New 'Operator token' card at the top of the TLD-registry section;
token stored in sessionStorage (not localStorage) so a full
browser close forgets it
- Each TLD row got a 'Hidden from public' checkbox that POSTs on
toggle and refreshes the table; failures roll back the checkbox
and surface the error next to the token field
2. Wallet dropdown restored to 4 direct actions
(Unlock / Create a wallet / Import a wallet / WizardConnect) and
the shared mint/sign-in modal grew a tab strip so users can switch
between the four wallet actions from any step without going back
to a choice screen.
register-flow.js:
- renderTabs(active) prepended to stepCreate/stepImport/stepUnlock/
stepExternal when signInOnly is set. Unlock tab only appears
when a saved wallet exists.
- Delegated click handler on the sheet routes tab clicks to the
matching step; switching away from a live WC session tears it
down first so we don't leak WebSockets.
profile-menu.js:
- Restored 4-item onboarding menu (Create/Import/WC plus Unlock
when saved). Each item is a direct entry point; the tabbed modal
lets the user pivot to any other option without closing.
Cache-buster bumped on all 8 sirius-x pages to ?v=20260908tabs.
Two changes:
1. Wallet dropdown simplified from three direct-action items into one
'Sign in or create wallet' launcher (plus 🔓 Unlock when a saved
wallet is present). The single item opens the shared modal at
stepWallet — the choice screen showing all four options (Unlock /
Create / Import / WizardConnect) as clear cards. Clicking a card
reveals its form. Users see the options first, then commit to a
path, instead of landing on a form for one path without seeing the
others.
register-flow.js's stepWallet grew a signInOnly-aware header ('Sign
in or create a wallet' / 'Pick one. Your keys stay in this browser')
so the choice screen reads as sign-in context, not a name mint.
startSignIn still accepts direct-mode entry points (new/import/wc/
unlock) for deep-links like portal.html?mode=X, but the nav dropdown
funnels to 'choose' for the choice-first experience.
2. Theseus subpage copy updated per request: 'native .bch / BCNR name
resolution built in' -> 'native Bitcoin Cash Domain Names resolution
built in'. Meta description mirrored.
Previously, the only way to unlock a wallet that had been saved in this
browser was to click Register (name or TLD), open the modal, and pick
'Unlock my browser wallet' from the wallet-choice step. From the nav
dropdown you could only start onboarding fresh (New / Import / WC).
profile-menu.js now checks localStorage for the BuiltInWallet's storage
key (bns.wallet.v1) at every render, and when a saved wallet is present
inserts a '🔓 Unlock my wallet' item at the top of the not-signed-in
dropdown — with a divider below it, so it reads as the primary action
and the Onboarding options stay available for adding a different wallet.
The dropdown click handler already lazy-loads register-flow.js and
calls window.siriusSignInWallet(action); register-flow.js's startSignIn
grew an 'unlock' mode that opens the modal directly at stepUnlock (the
password prompt). Same success path as every other sign-in: on unlock
success, siriusProfile is written and the modal closes with '✓ Signed
in' — the nav pill flips to the address without a reload.
Verified end-to-end on landing: saved wallet detected -> dropdown shows
Unlock as first item -> click -> password -> '✓ Signed in' -> pill
becomes 'qqyx49…zx8x seed ▾' with no reload. TLD mint from tld.html
also verified end-to-end: search 'e2etldtest' -> Register -> modal ->
Unlock -> password -> Fund -> Confirm (fee 1,250,000 sat + beacon dust
~1,300 sat) -> Register -> checking-availability -> loading-coins ->
'wallet is empty' (expected without chipnet funds; downstream code is
the same registerTldWithBuiltInWallet path the CLI uses).
Two UX polishes:
1. Register-tab icon flipped from 🪪 (identification-card emoji, renders
as a hollow box in system-ui fonts without extended emoji) to ✏️
(pencil), which reads as 'edit/create' and ships in every emoji font
worth targeting. Changed across the nav on all 8 pages plus the
footer injector's Product column. Kept the Register nav item — six
items total in the nav, and from any subpage it's one click to the
search on landing.
2. tld.html no longer duplicates the wallet-choice + mint flow inline.
The Register button on a search result now hands the label off to
the shared register-flow.js modal — same modal that name registration
uses — via a new window.siriusRegisterTld(label, {serviceFeeSats})
entry point.
register-flow.js grew:
- startTldFlow / window.siriusRegisterTld: sets state.tld and walks
the modal through wallet-choice → Fund → stepConfirmTld → stepRegisterTld
→ stepDoneTld
- stepConfirmTld: shows label + fee + owner, no per-name quote
- stepRegisterTld: dispatches to registerTldWithBuiltInWallet or
registerTldWithExternalWallet based on state.wallet/state.session
- stepDoneTld: 'X is yours' with txid + certificate id + operator
address, no record editor (a TLD certificate has no records to
set immediately)
- stepWallet / stepExternalConfirm branch on state.tld so the modal
heading and the WC-confirm path route correctly
tld.html trimmed: removed the entire signin-section + mint-section
plus their inline handlers (~250 lines gone). Now just search +
registered-TLDs list + a delegator to the shared modal. If a user
is already signed in via the wallet dropdown, the modal recognises
the saved wallet ('Unlock my browser wallet' button appears) instead
of asking them to sign in again on this page.
Wallet dropdown items (New / Import / WizardConnect) were navigating
to portal.html?mode=X and asking the user to click again on arrival.
That is 'the sign in landing page which is not functioning' from the
user's perspective — a whole redirect for one form.
Now every dropdown item opens the mint modal (register-flow.js) inline
at the matching step, on whatever page the user is on:
New -> stepCreate ('Create your wallet' — password + generate)
Import -> stepImport ('Import a recovery phrase' — textarea)
WizardConnect -> stepExternal ('Open your wallet' — QR/URI)
register-flow.js grew a signInOnly mode: state.name is null, the step
Back buttons close instead of going to a wallet-choice step there is
no context for, and on wallet-loaded the flow writes siriusProfile
and shows a 'Signed in' confirmation instead of Fund -> Confirm -> Mint.
WC signInOnly keeps the session alive (state.session) so a later
record edit can reuse it without a fresh QR handshake.
profile-menu.js: menu items became <a data-action='new|import|wc'>
and the click handler lazy-loads register-flow.js on demand — the
docs/brand/theseus pages don't ship it in their initial payload, so
their nav pill loads it the first time a wallet button is clicked and
caches it for subsequent opens. Falls back to portal.html?mode=X if
the module can't load. Cache-buster bumped so cached copies pick up
the new behavior.
Importmap for @bitauth/libauth added to docs/, brand/, theseus/ so
the bundle's bare specifier resolves when register-flow.js is
lazy-loaded from those pages.
Verified end-to-end on the live docs page: all three dropdown items
open the modal inline at the correct step, no console errors, no
navigation.
Register.html and the landing were running duplicate name-search UIs.
The register one was reported broken; the landing one already works
inline. Merged both into the landing:
- New js/register-flow.js — the full mint modal + wallet setup (Create /
Import / Unlock / WizardConnect / Fund / Confirm / Register / Point
it somewhere) extracted from register.html's <script type='module'>
and turned into a shared module. Injects its own scoped modal HTML +
CSS into the host page on load and exposes
window.siriusRegisterName(fullName) as its public entry point.
- Landing search results now have Register buttons that call the shared
flow directly. The whole 'search -> pick name -> mint' journey stays
on one page, no redirects, no duplicate search UI to maintain.
- register.html reduced to a redirect stub: preserves ?q= if present,
refreshes/JS-forwards to './' (landing), and shows a one-line
'Name search moved to the home page' fallback for JS-off users.
Old links keep working; no /register.html deep links are broken.
- All nav 'Register' entries now point at './#search-input' (or
'../#search-input' on subpages), scrolling straight to the landing
search box. Footer injector and every internal href updated the
same way. Zero live href='.../register.html' left in the tree.
Verified: register.html?q=hello redirects to /?q=hello; landing
search 'fresh42abc' -> Register button -> modal opens with
'Register fresh42abc.bch' at the wallet-choice step.
The nav's 'Theseus' link showed a generic 🧭 emoji, which renders
differently in every browser/OS and does not match theseus.x's
actual brand mark. Replaced with a small inline SVG of theseus.x's
compass (rounded dark square, N-half red, S-half acid) at 14x14 so
the button now carries theseus.x's real logo — recognisable and
identical everywhere.
Inlined the SVG rather than pointing at a shared asset so there's no
extra request per page and no relative-path arithmetic between root
and subdir pages. Applied to all 8 pages: landing, portal, register,
tld, theseus, docs, brand, admin.
Nav consistency: subpages had Try it → Theseus → Register → TLD while
the landing had Try it → Register → TLD → Theseus. Reordered every
page to the landing's order, so the top nav is identical everywhere:
Sirius.X | Try it | 🪪 Register | 🌐 TLD | 🧭 Theseus | 🔑 Sign in
(Admin adds its own 🛠 Admin between Theseus and Sign in since Admin
is the current page.)
Theseus subpage now carries Theseus.X's own branding: the compass
favicon (N-half red, S-half acid) copied from silentmode.st/bns/
theseus.x/assets/ lives under site-sirius-x/theseus/assets/, and the
subpage references it for <link rel=icon>, <link rel=mask-icon>, and
og:image. og:site_name flipped from 'Sirius.X' to 'Theseus Navigator'.
Hero mark swapped from the generic 🧭 emoji to the actual compass
SVG at 72px with a soft acid glow, so the page reads as Theseus at a
glance instead of borrowing Sirius's star.
Sign-in end-to-end verified on the live site:
- Landing dropdown → New wallet → portal auto-generates 12-word phrase
- Ack + Continue → me section revealed, siriusProfile written with
{address, tokenAddress, source: 'seed', signedInAt}
- Nav pill updates to 'qzc2vx…yn93 seed ▾' without reload
- Sign out → profile cleared, portal reset, pill back to 'Wallet ▾'
- Wallet address derives deterministically from the fresh mnemonic
(BuiltInWallet.create → deriveSeedFromBip39Mnemonic → HD path)
Three UX fixes:
1. Beautiful footer on every page. Extracted the 4-column landing footer
into js/site-footer.js — reads the nav brand link to derive per-page
base ('./' at root, '../' in subdirs) so links resolve from any depth
without duplicating the HTML across 8 pages. Every page now ships an
empty <footer id="site-footer"></footer> and includes the injector;
inline footer + its CSS block removed from landing too so the source
stays in one place.
2. Wallet button redesign. Pill now shows a state dot (dim when not
signed in, green with subtle glow when signed in), a monospace short
address label when signed in ('qra6rs…7yl2') OR 'Wallet' when not,
a WC/seed badge on signed-in state, and a subtle caret. Full border
and hover states, proper aria-expanded/aria-label wiring. Dropdown
menu itself upgraded: grid layout per item (icon column + title +
hint), heavier backdrop blur, larger min-width, clearer typography.
3. Dropdown options actually do something. Removed the redundant 'Open
sign-in page →' item — the other three all land on portal too, so
listing 'open the page' as a fourth option was noise. On portal
arrival, the ?mode= handler now AUTO-TRIGGERS the primary action for
each mode:
new -> click Generate a phrase (12 words appear immediately)
import -> focus the seed textarea (cursor ready to paste)
wc -> click Connect wallet (WC session starts, URI shown)
No extra clicks between dropdown choice and the flow it names.
Cache-buster on the profile-menu.js include bumped to
?v=20260907wallet so cached copies pick up the new design; footer
injector at ?v=20260907rel.
Moved secondary destinations (Docs, Roadmap, Brand, Silent Mode) out
of the top nav and into a proper site footer on the landing:
Top nav (all pages) is now:
Sirius.X | Try it | 🪪 Register | 🌐 TLD | 🧭 Theseus | 🔑 Sign in
That's 6 items instead of 10, and every one is a primary action the
user takes on Sirius.X. Docs / Roadmap / Brand / Silent Mode read as
'learn more', not 'do a thing', so they belong in the footer.
Landing footer redesigned as a four-column grid:
- Brand column: star mark, wordmark, one-line pitch
- Product: Register / TLD / Portal / Theseus
- Learn: Docs / Roadmap / Pantheon / Brand kit
- Silent Mode: silentmode.st, TLD registry, theseus.x, hephaestus.x
Meta row at the very bottom: 'Alpha' badge + chipnet disclaimer on
the left, copyright + brand-kit link on the right. Cascades to 2-col
on tablet, 1-col on phone.
Subpages keep their existing minimal footers for now — the beautiful
footer is landing-only where it earns the real estate. Nav slim is
site-wide.
Missing user-facing surface: minting a TLD required either the portal
(sign in first, register second, tucked under 'Signed in') or the
operator-only admin panel. New tld.html is a public, single-purpose
page that lets anyone go straight from label to certificate.
Flow: type a label → live check against /api/tlds → 'Register .foo →'
appears → sign-in cards (New / Import / WizardConnect) revealed inline
→ mint section shows label, address, price → submit walks through
'connected → checking-availability → loading-coins → building →
signing → broadcasting → registered'.
Wire is proven end-to-end (search returns a registerable card for
free labels, wallet flow generates a valid seed, address, submit
reaches 'wallet is empty' with a friendly faucet hint for the
signed-in address). Downstream of loading-coins is the same build/
sign/broadcast path exercised by every name registration.
Dispatch on wallet.source uses registerTldWithExternalWallet when
signed in via WC, else registerTldWithBuiltInWallet. Live TLD table
under the search shows every currently registered TLD with its
category; refreshes on successful mint.
Nav: '🌐 TLD' added to all 7 pages between Register and Brand.
Landing's 'Register a TLD' card now points here (previously linked
to the operator admin, which locked out anyone who isn't operator).
Five UX fixes from a review pass:
1. profile-menu.js: dropdown links (New/Add/WC wallet, Admin) were
absolute /sirius-x/portal.html paths. That's fine on silentmode.st
but under the BCNR route (sirius.x/) the origin is different, so
the gateway forwarded to Sia which returned 'NoSuchKey' XML. Now
derive the base URL from the nav's own .portal anchor href — which
is already set per page with the right relative path — so it works
from the root, from subdirs, and under any BCNR gateway. Admin URL
is derived from the same base.
2. Landing hero got a search input. Submitting it normalises the
label ([a-z0-9-], 63 chars) and redirects to register.html?q=<label>.
register.html now honours ?q= on load: prefills the input, triggers
the parallel multi-TLD lookup, and scrolls into view. Single source
of truth stays in register.html; the landing just hands it a query.
3. Portal TLD-mint error path now special-cases 'wallet is empty' and
shows a friendlier message with the wallet's address and links to
two chipnet faucets, so the fix is one click away instead of a
guess.
4. Removed 'Pantheon' from every page's top nav — it's a section on
the landing that anyone scrolling will discover, and keeping it in
the nav crowded the bar.
5. Cache-buster ?v=20260907rel on the profile-menu.js script include
across all 7 pages so browsers that cached the pre-fix version
pick up the new one on next load.
Adds the external-wallet variant of registerTldWithBuiltInWallet so
WizardConnect users can mint TLDs from the sirius.x portal without
first importing a seed. Same transaction shape (TREG payload, TLD-
beacon output, service-fee output) — the wallet approves the mint
(and, if needed, a one-time prep signature to satisfy the vout-0
non-token genesis-input rule) on the user's own device.
Bundle: re-exported from src/web/register-entry.js and rebuilt
(bns-register.js: 33.3 kB, cache-buster bumped to ?v=20260907tldext
on portal.html / register.html / admin/index.html).
Portal: TLD-register submit now dispatches on wallet.source, calling
registerTldWithExternalWallet with wallet.session when the user is
signed in via WC. Removed the WC-disable guard and updated the card
copy to say TLD mints also go through the wallet's signing prompt.
Uses the same landOnChain helper as registerWithExternalWallet, so
wallet-broadcasts (walletBroadcasts:true sessions) and duplicate/
mempool responses are handled identically.
Three things from one review pass:
1. Rebrand text 'sirius.x' -> 'Sirius.X' as the brand style across all
sirius.x pages (titles, meta, nav wordmark, headings, prose, footer).
Also flipped the pantheon headings to Title.X form: Silentmode.X,
Sirius.X, Theseus.X, Hephaestus.X, Prometheus.X, Helios.X, Hermes.X.
Domain literals, URLs, and code samples stay lowercase (sirius.x is
the actual on-chain name; only prose changes). Logo/avatar SVG
wordmarks and aria-labels updated to match.
2. Banner (brand/banner.svg) redesigned around a centered layout:
'Sirius.X' wordmark above, the star's horizontal arm extended
edge-to-edge as a divider line, tagline lines below. Left tip at
(0,315), right tip at (1200,315) so the arm crosses the full 1200px
banner width; vertical body compact around center. Old layout had
the star crammed into the right half and the wordmark on the left.
3. WizardConnect wired up on portal.html:
- The 'Connect wallet' button now opens a real WC session via
wizardconnect.js, shows the WIZ:// URI (copyable) and waits for
the wallet to approve.
- Successful connection builds a wallet-shaped wrapper with
source: 'wc' and a WC session for signing; siriusProfile now
carries the source so the nav dropdown can differentiate.
- Record editor dispatches to setRecordsWithExternalWallet when
source === 'wc' (bundle already ships the adapter), else stays
on setRecordsWithBuiltInWallet.
- TLD Register submit is gated off for WC users with a tooltip —
no external-wallet variant of registerTld is exported yet, so
TLD mint still needs a built-in wallet.
- Sign-out disconnects the WC session before dropping the wallet.
- toTokenAddress used to derive the tokenAddress for WC users so
the 'Signed in' card shows both forms.
Closes the loop between the nav's profile dropdown and portal.html:
- Adds a 🆕 New wallet card that calls BuiltInWallet.create() to generate
a fresh BIP-39 phrase in the browser. The phrase is shown once for the
user to write down; sign-in only unlocks after they tick the 'I have
written this down' acknowledgement. Copy button included.
- Sign-in (both New and Import paths) now writes localStorage.siriusProfile
= { address, tokenAddress, signedInAt } so any page on the same origin
can render 'signed in' state. Sign-out clears the key and also resets
the New wallet card so a re-sign-in starts clean.
- Handles ?mode=new|import|wc from the profile dropdown's deep-links:
scrolls the matching card into view and briefly outlines it in acid so
the user knows which one they were sent to.
profile-menu.js:
- Re-renders the dropdown on every open() call rather than caching the
first paint, so a sign-in that happens *after* the script's initial
run (same tab: portal.html; other tabs: storage event) reflects in the
nav without needing a full reload.
- Listens for the storage event (cross-tab) and a custom
'siriusProfileChanged' event (same-tab) — portal.html fires that on
every writeProfile/clearProfile call.
Copies site/sirius/register.html to site-sirius-x/register.html with
paths rewritten to absolute silentmode.st URLs (js bundle, importmap,
shared.css, WizardConnect vendor) so the page works both from
silentmode.st/sirius-x/register.html and from sirius.x/register.html
via the BCNR gateway. Nav is swapped to the sirius.x layout with
profile-menu.js.
Landing, portal, docs, and theseus subpage now link locally with
./register.html instead of redirecting off to silentmode.st. Adds
'Register' to the top nav of all six sirius.x pages.
Sia and VPS mirrors updated for register.html and the six pages.
registrar.js: BNS.connect() now filters silentmode.st/electrum and
coinspectrum.duckdns.org:50011 out of the default electrum list. Those
endpoints are our own bns-indexer.js — beacon-only, serves get_history +
transaction.get but NOT listunspent for arbitrary scripthashes. Every
wallet op (getBalance, getUtxos, edit signing) needs listunspent, so
picking a beacon indexer first (which we did for best reachability) broke
every wallet unlock with "-32601 unsupported method: blockchain.
scripthash.listunspent". New `beaconOk: true` opts back in for pure-
resolution paths.
Rebuilt the browser bundle (site/js/bns-register.js) so the fix reaches
portal + admin + register.html + anything else that imports BNS.connect.
site-sirius-x/js/profile-menu.js: a small shared script that transforms
the "🔑 Sign in" nav pill into a dropdown menu on every sirius.x page.
Signed-out shows New wallet / Add wallet / WizardConnect + a link to the
sign-in page. Signed-in (reads localStorage 'siriusProfile') shows the
short address, My names, Admin, Sign out. Included via one <script defer>
tag on each of the 6 pages (landing / portal / admin / docs / theseus /
brand); dropdown CSS is inlined by the script itself so consumers don't
need a matching stylesheet.
Portal.html writing to localStorage.'siriusProfile' after sign-in is a
follow-up so the dropdown reflects state across pages — until then the
menu always shows the onboarding options.
Sign-in view grows a "Register a new TLD" card. User picks a label (validated
against [a-z0-9-]{1,16} and normalised as they type), sees live sats price
computed from a USD field via a static chipnet oracle rate (250,000 sats/USD
≈ $400/BCH), can check availability against navigate.st/api/tlds, then submit
a TREG signed with the built-in wallet — same code path seed-tld-beacon.mjs
uses server-side, but via the browser-exported registerTldWithBuiltInWallet.
* Live price display recalculates on USD-input change; service fee is
paid to REGISTRAR.serviceFee.address (same fee address name registrations
use — no per-TLD split yet since that's mainnet covenant territory).
* Check-availability polls the live /api/tlds endpoint before the user
commits sats to a doomed TREG.
* Progress log streams the shared onProgress steps
("checking-availability", "signing", "broadcast: <txid>") so users can
tell whether the transaction actually left the browser.
* Chipnet rate + form default of $5 make full-flow tests possible from
the operator wallet (~1.25M sats each); users can override the USD to
$0.01 for cheap iteration during testing.
UI verified end-to-end (label sanitisation, price recalc, availability
check against real API, buttons gate correctly on wallet state). Full
sign+broadcast requires a funded wallet — operator can verify.
Next: real oracle (CoinGecko / Kraken feed) + tiered pricing by label
length + admin panel for changing the rate config.
Each owned-name row gets an Edit button. Click → modal with editable fields
for the five most-used records (h / s3 / ip / tls / u), pre-populated from
the current on-chain values. Save signs a UPD transaction with the
in-browser wallet (same code path as sirius/register.html:
BNS.setRecordsWithBuiltInWallet) and broadcasts it.
Live payload-budget indicator shows bytes-used vs bytes-available (from
BNS.payloadBudget for op=UPD); Save disables when the record set exceeds
the 200-byte on-chain envelope so users don't waste a broadcast on a
too-large payload. Progress log inside the modal streams every step
("resolving", "signing", "broadcast: <txid>") from the shared onProgress
callback.
UI verified end-to-end in-browser (synthetic /api/holdings intercept):
modal opens, fields populate, budget calculates live, over-budget disables
Save, Cancel closes. Actual sign+broadcast needs a wallet that owns names —
operator can verify with their seed; the code path is the one register.html
has been using for months.
M1 shipped; M2 (Sia file upload) and M3 (Markdown site builder) are next.
WizardConnect wiring for external-wallet UPDs is a follow-up — the built-in
path is what this session's wallet-unlock flow already supports.
brand/ ships every reusable mark plus a browseable kit page:
* logo.svg — full colour wordmark (star + sirius.x, .x in acid green)
* logo-mono.svg — currentColor version for print / one-colour merch
* favicon.svg — 64×64 rounded square, scales cleanly to 16×16
* avatar.svg — 512×512 square, hard corners (platforms round-mask)
* banner.svg — 1200×630 OG / Twitter Card canvas, crop-tolerant layout
* index.html — brand-kit page: asset previews + download links, full
colour palette with names/hex, typography sample, do/don't guidance,
MIT-attribution notice.
Nav: added 🎨 Brand link to every sirius.x page (landing, portal, docs,
theseus). og:image on every page updated to point at /brand/banner.svg
instead of the wordmark logo — social crawlers get a proper 1200×630
banner with title, tagline, and mark instead of a thin logo strip.
Kept /assets/favicon.svg and /assets/logo.svg in place so existing
external references (Nostr metadata, third-party embeds) don't break.
gateway/public-gateway.mjs:
* GET /api/holdings/<scripthash> and POST /api/holdings {scripthashes:[…]}
— server-side wallet-holdings lookup for the portal. Bns-indexer is
beacon-only so it can't answer listunspent for arbitrary addresses; the
gateway does the electrum roundtrip and cross-joins with the cached BCNR
index. Client posts scripthashes (no libauth needed on the server) and
gets back the names owned.
* elConnect now falls through to whole-buffer JSON.parse when a Fulcrum
response lacks a trailing newline — chipnet.bch.ninja does this and
otherwise every elCall to it times out. Same tolerance pattern as
bns-indexer.test.mjs's tiny electrum client.
* verifyElectrum picks a full electrum with a 3s server.version probe so a
hung server fails over to the next in seconds instead of stalling 20.
* Skips silentmode.st/electrum and coinspectrum.duckdns.org:50011 for
/api/holdings — both are bns-indexer routes that don't do listunspent.
web/register-entry.js: export addressToScripthash so the portal can derive
the scripthash for each of its wallet's watched addresses before POSTing.
Browser bundle rebuilt.
site-sirius-x pages:
* favicon + logo hrefs made relative (./assets/… on index/portal,
../assets/… on docs/theseus). Absolute /sirius-x/… broke on the sirius.x
BCNR route where the site is served from root instead of under /sirius-x/.
* Roadmap nav link added back to portal, docs, theseus — the landing has an
anchor to a section on itself, so subpages now link to it explicitly.
* portal.html: loadNames rewritten to POST scripthashes to /api/holdings
instead of doing client-side electrum. Works on browsers whose networks
block chipnet electrum ports; same-origin HTTPS on 443.
* portal.html: bundle import ?v= bumped so Chrome's in-memory ES module
map picks up the new bundle instead of a stale cached copy.
assets/favicon.svg — 4-point sparkle star in acid green on a rounded dark
square. Scales cleanly at any size (16px tab icon through Retina). Uses the
Silent Mode palette so it recognisably reads as Silent Mode family.
assets/logo.svg — the same star + "sirius.x" wordmark with the .x accented in
acid green. Used as the og:image; can also be inlined as a brand mark.
Every page (landing / docs / portal / theseus) gets:
* <link rel="icon"> + <link rel="mask-icon"> pointing at favicon.svg
* og:type, og:site_name, og:title, og:description, og:url, og:image
* twitter:card + twitter:title/description on the landing (summary card)
Absolute paths (/sirius-x/assets/…) so subpages get the same brand mark
without per-page path juggling.
Bns-indexer on VPS was only exposed on port 50011 via nginx, which corporate
firewalls, mobile carriers, and many VPNs block. Added an nginx location on
443 that proxies to the same 127.0.0.1:50010, giving us a browser-friendly
WSS endpoint on the standard HTTPS port.
* lib/electrum.js CHIPNET_ELECTRUM: wss://silentmode.st/electrum listed
first (used by registrar.connect() + everything that depends on it).
* lib/resolver-web.js CHIPNET_ELECTRUM: same, kept in lockstep per the
"change both together" comment.
* bns-register.js bundle rebuilt to bake the new list.
* portal.html imports the bundle with ?v= so Chrome's in-memory ES-module
map doesn't serve a stale copy across tabs.
Portal now connects successfully; next remaining issue is that
bns-indexer only supports (server.version, get_history, transaction.get) —
`blockchain.scripthash.listunspent` for wallet address queries is not
implemented, so the "list your names" step fails there. Follow-up: add a
GET /api/holdings/<address> to public-gateway.mjs backed by the existing
BCHN electrum access, so the portal can pull holdings over plain HTTP.
Broad-scope commit sweeping in work from parallel sessions plus this session's
dev-only utilities. No single unifying theme — this is the "commit everything
that's ready" pass. Grouped by area below.
AriadneResolver / mobile
* Small updates to BchFetcher, Bns, MainActivity, AriadneVpnService, and the
Android manifest — from a parallel mobile-resolver session.
* AriadneResolver/mobile/webpreview/ — new local dev webview (index.html +
server.mjs) for iterating on the mobile UI without a device.
Email / SnappyMail
* Email/snappymail-plugin/silentmode-addresses — new SnappyMail plugin
(README, CSS, PHP entry, JS) for surfacing @silentmode.st address
management inside the webmail UI.
Hephaestus (Forgejo + auth-proxy)
* auth-proxy/src/oidc.ts + docker-compose.yml updates.
* scripts/bootstrap-auth.sh — idempotent script that registers the wallet
auth-proxy as Forgejo's OIDC provider after `docker compose up -d`. All
secrets read from .env — no literals in the script.
TheseusNavigator / dev tools
* dev/list-tlds.mjs — enumerate every registered BNS name grouped by TLD via
our own indexer.
* dev/show-tlds-bch.mjs — dump the full records payload of the legacy
tlds.bch name (kept as a diagnostic for the list-in-one-NFT era).
Deviant sites + brand
* site/deviant/ — new microsites (anthemus, potidaea, brand, mindmap, main
index) plus the full brand kit under site/deviant/brand/ (logos, icons,
palette, social exports as SVG source + PNG renders).
* site-sirius-x/portal.html — updates.
Coordination
* _coordination/sessions/mobile-resolver.md — parallel-session notes.
Deliberately excluded from this commit:
* scratchpad/ — this session's temp drafts (Sia doc mockups, tlds UPD payloads).
* TheseusNavigator/_prev/ — ~372 MB of prior release binaries; belongs in
a separate artefacts store, not the git tree. Add to .gitignore next pass.
Standard header pattern — brand + main nav on the left, the account action on
the right. New .portal class does margin-left:auto plus a subtle acid tint so
it reads as a button, not another nav item. Applied on all four pages
(landing, docs, portal, theseus); the label is '🔑 Sign in' everywhere
(portal.html itself still marks it .here).
The landing kept expanding whenever documentation was added inline. Moving it
to its own subdirectory gives docs room to grow and keeps the landing to the
"try it / roadmap / verify" story it's supposed to be.
* docs/index.html — TOC + eight sections (TLD registry, registration,
records, resolver, mainnet pricing, tracker, verification, runbook).
Reads on its own; no dependency on the landing.
* index.html — #docs section shrunk to a one-paragraph call-to-action with a
prominent "Open the docs →" button; nav Docs link now points at /docs/.
* portal.html + theseus/index.html — nav Docs links updated to /docs/ (was
./#docs / ../#docs) so every subpage points at the standalone docs.
* portal.html — sign in with a seed phrase (in-memory only, wiped on sign
out), fetch owned NFT categories across all watched addresses, cross-join
against BCNR buildIndex to show the wallet's names + records. Read-only
for now; record edit (UPD) will piggyback on the register bundle's signing
path. WizardConnect button stubbed with a "soon" pill — the adapter
already exists in register.html and will be wired in the next pass.
* theseus/index.html — download page for Theseus Navigator (v0.0.4) and
Ariadne Resolver (Windows setup + Android APK). Same design system as the
landing. Links to dl.silentmode.st for the actual binaries and to
silentmode.st/releases for the manifest.
* index.html — nav now has 🧭 Theseus and 🔑 Portal chips; "Try it" section
adds cards for the portal and Theseus.
* site/tlds/ — .com row removed from the public table; count updated to 14;
supersedes the "held by operator" language per operator direction.
* site-sirius-x/index.html — softened ICANN-adjacent note.
All routes verified live: silentmode.st/{tlds,sirius-x,sirius-x/portal.html,
sirius-x/theseus,bns/sirius.x} return 200. Sia mirror updated for all three
new/changed sirius.x pages.
