Creating a new sell order

To create a new sell order the user should send a Gift wrap Nostr event to Mostro, the rumor event should have the following rumor's content:

{
  "order": {
    "version": 1,
    "action": "new-order",
    "payload": {
      "order": {
        "kind": "sell",
        "status": "pending",
        "amount": 0,
        "fiat_code": "VES",
        "min_amount": null,
        "max_amount": null,
        "fiat_amount": 100,
        "payment_method": "face to face",
        "premium": 1,
        "created_at": 0
      }
    }
  }
}

Let's explain some of the fields:

  • kind: sell or buy
  • status: Is always pending when creating a new order
  • amount: 0 for when we want to sell with at market price, otherwise the amount in satoshis
  • created_at: No need to send the correct unix timestamp, Mostro will replace it with the current time

The event to send to Mostro would look like this:

{
  "id": "<Event id>",
  "kind": 1059,
  "pubkey": "<Seller's ephemeral pubkey>",
  "content": "<sealed-rumor-content>",
  "tags": [["p", "Mostro's pubkey"]],
  "created_at": 1234567890,
  "sig": "<Signature of ephemeral pubkey>"
}

Confirmation message

Mostro will send back a nip59 event as a confirmation message to the user like the following (unencrypted rumor's content example):

{
  "order": {
    "version": 1,
    "id": "ede61c96-4c13-4519-bf3a-dcf7f1e9d842",
    "action": "new-order",
    "payload": {
      "order": {
        "id": "ede61c96-4c13-4519-bf3a-dcf7f1e9d842",
        "kind": "sell",
        "status": "pending",
        "amount": 0,
        "fiat_code": "VES",
        "fiat_amount": 100,
        "payment_method": "face to face",
        "premium": 1,
        "created_at": 1698870173
      }
    }
  }
}

Mostro publishes this order as an event kind 38383 with status pending:

[
  "EVENT",
  "RAND",
  {
    "id": "<Event id>",
    "pubkey": "<Mostro's pubkey>",
    "created_at": 1702548701,
    "kind": 38383,
    "tags": [
      ["d", "ede61c96-4c13-4519-bf3a-dcf7f1e9d842"],
      ["k", "sell"],
      ["f", "VES"],
      ["s", "pending"],
      ["amt", "0"],
      ["fa", "100"],
      ["pm", "face to face", "bank transfer"],
      ["premium", "1"],
      ["network", "mainnet"],
      ["layer", "lightning"],
      ["expiration", "1719391096"],
      ["y", "mostrop2p"],
      ["z", "order"]
    ],
    "content": "",
    "sig": "<Mostro's signature>"
  }
]
