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.
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.
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.
/sirius-x/docs/#host — Pattern C section extended with:
* "The dual-host recipe, end to end" — four-step publish sequence: edit
locally → scp to VPS → sia-upload → verify both.
* "Auto-backup: one command, both mirrors" — a Bash wrapper any operator
can drop into their repo to publish to both mirrors atomically.
* "Automate the reverse — VPS → Sia periodic backup" — a cron snippet
for setups whose primary publish is straight-to-VPS.
* Note on which mirror is authoritative (chain record decides).
scripts/mirror-bcnr-site.sh — general-purpose implementation of the
recipe. Takes local-dir, ssh-dest, sia-bucket-key + optional verify URLs.
Exit codes distinguish scp failure vs sia-upload failure vs verify
failure so a CI/hook can react. Trims trailing slash from Sia bucket key
so sia-upload.js doesn't produce "bns/x//file" paths.
/sirius-x/docs/#host walks through three patterns for actually shipping a site
under a BCNR name:
* Pattern A — Sia only (what silentmode.bch uses): sia-upload command,
bucket-path convention (bns/<label>/), chain record with trailing slash
so the gateway auto-indexes.
* Pattern B — Your own server: ip + tls records, chain-pinned TLS trust.
* Pattern C — Dual host: Sia primary + VPS mirror (what sirius.x itself
uses), with the nginx location snippet needed on the operator's box.
Also copied INSTRUCTIONS.md to /sirius-x/docs/INSTRUCTIONS.md (served as
plain text) so any session — including ones without a SilentMode checkout —
can read the full operator runbook via a public URL, no clone required.
The copy is gitignored; treat root INSTRUCTIONS.md as authoritative and
re-copy on deploy. Runbook section on docs page now lists three access
paths (browser, clone, planned Forgejo mirror at code.silentmode.st).
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.
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.
