## Trip System (Custom Kind 30025)

Travel trips with multiple photos, GPS coordinates, and route visualization are published using custom kind `30025`:

```json
{
  "kind": 30025,
  "content": "Trip description and experience details",
  "tags": [
    ["d", "trip-unique-id"],
    ["title", "Hiking in Yosemite"],
    ["summary", "Amazing day hike through the valley"],
    ["category", "hike"],
    ["image", "photo1_url", "lat1", "lon1", "timestamp1"],
    ["image", "photo2_url", "lat2", "lon2", "timestamp2"],
    ["image", "photo3_url", "lat3", "lon3", "timestamp3"],

    ["alt", "Review of Blue Bottle Coffee - 5 stars"]
  ]
}
```

## Digital Media Marketplace (NIP-99)

Digital media assets are published as NIP-99 classified listings (kind `30402`) with the following required tags:

```json
{
  "kind": 30402,
  "content": "Digital media description and usage rights",
  "tags": [
    ["d", "media_unique_id"],

    ["country", "US"],
    ["geo_folder", "north-america/US"],
    ["image", "preview_image_url"]
  ]
}
```

### Supported Media Types

- **Videos**: Stock footage, animations, motion graphics, promotional videos
- **Audio**: Music tracks, sound effects, ambient audio, voice recordings
- **Graphics**: Illustrations, icons, logos, vector graphics
- **Templates**: Design templates, presentation layouts, document templates
- **3D Models**: 3D assets, textures, materials
- **Fonts**: Typography, custom fonts, font families
- **Presets**: Photo presets, video LUTs, audio effects

### Geographical Organization

All stock media in the marketplace is organized using a hierarchical geographical folder structure: **World → Continent → Country**. This organization makes it easy to browse and filter media by location.

#### Required Geographical Tags

Every stock media item requires three geographical tags for organization:

- **continent**: Continent value (e.g., `africa`, `asia`, `europe`, `north-america`, `south-america`, `oceania`, `antarctica`)
- **country**: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g., `US`, `FR`, `JP`, `AU`)
- **geo_folder**: Combined path format `continent/country` (e.g., `north-america/US`, `europe/FR`, `asia/JP`)

#### Continent Values

- `africa` - 🌍 Africa
- `asia` - 🌏 Asia
- `europe` - 🇪🇺 Europe
- `north-america` - 🌎 North America
- `south-america` - 🌎 South America
- `oceania` - 🌏 Oceania
- `antarctica` - 🐧 Antarctica

#### Country Codes

Countries use standard ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g., `US`, `FR`, `JP`, `AU`, `BR`, `ZA`).

#### Example: Stock Photo from Paris

```json
{
  "kind": 30402,
  "tags": [
    ["d", "photo_eiffel_tower"],
    ["title", "Eiffel Tower at Sunset"],
    ["continent", "europe"],
    ["country", "FR"],
    ["geo_folder", "europe/FR"],
    ["location", "Paris, France"]
  ]
}
```

#### Benefits

- **Easy Discovery**: Browse media by continent and country
- **Efficient Filtering**: Query media from specific regions using relay-level tag filtering
- **Clean Organization**: Hierarchical folder structure keeps the marketplace organized
- **Automated Placement**: New uploads are automatically placed in the correct geographical folder

### Supported Currencies

- **Lightning**: `BTC`, `SATS` - Paid via NIP-57 Lightning Zaps
- **Fiat**: `USD`, `EUR`, `GBP`, `CAD`, `AUD` - Paid via Stripe integration

## Payment Methods

### Lightning Payments (NIP-57)

For digital media priced in `BTC` or `SATS`:

1. Buyer creates a zap request (kind `9734`) with license details
2. Payment flows through standard Lightning Network via NIP-57
3. Zap receipt (kind `9735`) serves as payment confirmation
4. Creator receives notification via Lightning wallet

### Fiat Payments (Stripe)

For digital media priced in fiat currencies:

1. Buyer initiates Stripe payment flow
2. Payment processed via Stripe API
3. Confirmation sent to creator via encrypted DM
4. Traditional payment receipt via email

## License Communication (NIP-04)

License orders are communicated via encrypted direct messages (kind `4`) following NIP-15 message structure:

```json
{
  "type": 0,
  "id": "license_unique_id",
  "name": "buyer_name",
  "message": "licensing_questions",
  "contact": {
    "nostr": "buyer_pubkey",
    "email": "buyer_email"
  },
  "items": [
    {
      "media_id": "media_unique_id",
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ],
  "payment_method": "lightning|stripe",
  "amount": 25,
  "currency": "USD"
}
```

## Security Considerations

- **Encryption**: All license details encrypted using NIP-44 (preferred) or NIP-04 (fallback)
- **Authentication**: Buyers and creators authenticated via Nostr key pairs
- **Payment Security**: Lightning payments are cryptographically secure; Stripe provides traditional payment security
- **License Delivery**: Digital files delivered via encrypted download links
- **Dispute Resolution**: Handled through direct Nostr communication between parties

## Integration Requirements

### Lightning Setup
- Creators need Lightning addresses (lud16 or lud06) in their profiles
- Buyers need Lightning wallets or WebLN extensions

### Stripe Setup
- Creators need Stripe accounts for fiat payments
- Environment variable `VITE_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` required
- Backend API endpoint `/api/create-payment-intent` needed for production

## Advantages of This Approach

1. **Standards Compliance**: Uses existing, well-tested Nostr NIPs
2. **Interoperability**: Compatible with other NIP-99 marketplace clients
3. **Dual Payment Support**: Supports both crypto and fiat payments
4. **Decentralized**: No central marketplace authority required
5. **Instant Delivery**: Digital assets delivered immediately after payment
6. **Creator Focused**: Built specifically for digital media creators
7. **Review Integration**: Combines location reviews with media marketplace
