November 2023 Newsletter: The Monetary Gates Are Open

"From a macroeconomic perspective, if these technologies continue to gain adoption over time as they have for 10-15 years now, I think it will eventually make the long tail of these 160+ currency monopolies harder to maintain. In a digitally-connected global economy, people will have much easier access to better money that has global liquidity and salability to it. People everywhere will have more of a choice, as long as they have access to the internet in various ways. Imagine the impact that these technologies could have in five or ten years when they are likely far larger and better understood."

I think I found an answer. Instead of trusting one, you trust several actors.

> Fedi raises the bar a bit, however, as opposed to Cashu’s architecture which uses a single, centralised, entity to act as the mint or bank which issues the E-cash,  Fedi is employing Fedimint, a protocol for federated Chaumian E-cash mints.

─ [Fedi & Fedimint: Decentralised Chaumian E-cash on Bitcoin](https://blog.bitfinex.com/education/fedi-fedimint-decentralised-chaumian-e-cash-on-bitcoin/)

This will probably give the plebs the opportunity to stack stas so that in time they can open up a lightning channel 🤙


what is the difference between Fedimint and Cashu? 🤔

With rising fees, it's even more important that you check your lightning mobile nodes more often in order to update channel fees.

Further, if you were the channel opener (instead of the LSP opening a just in time channel to you), then you may not be able to take advantage of your full balance since part of your funds need to be available to close the channel eventually. We'll update the UI next week to reflect that. If you're getting low on funds (<100k sats) and you opened the channel by swapping from on chain funds to LN, you may run into instant payment failures.

🚨 Two days ago, we received a concerning support request: An app that appeared to be the BitBoxApp asked the user to enter their recovery words.

This was clearly a phishing attempt by an attacker trying to steal the users funds.

Here's what happened: 👇

https://image.nostr.build/471dc945e24b9836c14f228e9ebf520a9c389d45f1392598383ede6be1dcbd00.jpg

The victim has had his BitBox02 for multiple months already. One day, after plugging in their BitBox02, the BitBoxApp flashed and displayed the above screen.

Knowing he wasn't supposed to enter his recovery words on a computer, he immediately contacted our support. 💪

Together with the victim, we figured out that a malicious BitBoxApp clone was placed on his computer. It does not replace the BitBoxApp, but is installed in another folder.

Once the original BitBoxApp has been opened, it minimizes the original BitBoxApp and displays the malicious "Bitbox.exe" over all other content.

The malware also appear to take screenshots to surveil the victim. 🚨

https://image.nostr.build/ffa5b51ba5c3b0d1ac777282bd180448fc4ea5ea07aabef5fe7940874f50905a.jpg

We were able to trace the origin of the malware to a malicious website.

The victim used DuckDuckGo to search for "wasabi wallet" and ended up downloading a malicious installer.

This is an extremely easy mistake to make, as there are multiple phishing sites in the top results.

https://image.nostr.build/06a421d407b60e98e26b82d6147fdbcb04becb8b2f3de73fc18f1b2be802b51a.jpg

We have reached out to Wasabi Wallet and they assured us they do everything in their power to get rid of these fake sites.

It is necessary for DuckDuckGo to take action and make sure these malicious websites don't appear in their search results.

To make sure this does not happen to you, you should always verify exactly where you are downloading programs from.

This is also why we provide instructions on how to verify the signatures for our BitBoxApp before you run them:

https://github.com/digitalbitbox/bitbox-wallet-app/releases/tag/v4.39.0

Thank you again to the victim for helping us figure this out as quickly as possible!

Their fast and correct response made it possible for us to figure this out really fast and warn other users. We've already shipped them a small 'thank you' package to show our gratitude. 🙏

In the end the BitBox02 did exactly what it was supposed to:

It protected the users wallet when their PC got compromised.

Would the victim have used a software wallet, chances are high that their money would have been stolen.

We have recently disabled the ability to zap nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet users from Mutiny. You may still pay their invoices or LN addresses normally but a big problem we were seeing was force closed channels due to stuck payments to Zeus due to their work arounds with locked payments. Which harm both the user experience and other lightning nodes on the network.

Since nostr users are mostly unaware if they're zapping Zeus users or not, we are taking this step proactively to protect users from having a 10 sat zap costing them serious on chain channel closing (and reopening) fees.

The approach we are working on for solving lightning addresses on mobile wallets is a fedimint hybrid approach where the sats end up at a federation if you are offline but get swept to your self custodial channel when you come online. Payments will settle instantly with the federation and it won't lock up unnecessary HTLCs on the network.

Ideally we get the ability to do offline receives normally on LN but that future is looking really grim with LND's continued priorities on shitcoins instead of features, and offline receives depends on a network wide upgrade.

We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further.

Hello, Homer 🍩


I can imagine many other bouncy slides that are much worse 🤔


The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything


Elon Musk started PayPal and as a result of that and his first principles thinking, it is highly likely that he perfectly understands money.

Similar to how it is highly likely Elizabeth Warren perfectly understands money.

He also must understand that the natural state of the free market IS deflationary.

If both of these are true - then he also must know (as one of the top AI + robotics companies) that he is stealing the productivity gains that should flow to society in the form of lower prices by pretending he is solving planetary issues through a broken system that makes them worse.

In other words, Elon not advocating for #Bitcoin is not because he is stupid. It’s because he believes you are.

On Nov 14 the Human Rights Foundation will launch its CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington, DC

The Tracker will go online for the first time, providing the public with a resource to examine the progress and risks of CBDC implementation worldwide

Like paper dollars or euros, CBDCs are liabilities of central banks

Unlike paper dollars or euros, CBDCs do not offer the privacy protections, neutrality, or finality of cash

Virtually all money today is already digital, but it is typically issued and controlled by private banks and fintech companies, even in dictatorships like China

When consumers use a credit card, spending is at the discretion of the corporation that issued the card

When consumers deposit money into their bank accounts, their funds are liabilities of the bank

CBDCs are an effort to:

1) Replace paper cash with government-issued, government controlled digital credits

2) Reduce the power of private banks

3) Expand state control over the economy

Paper cash doesn’t require identification, can be used by anyone with no discrimination, and cannot be easily tracked

As such, cash is a daily tool of human rights activists, dissidents, and civil society, especially under authoritarian regimes

CBDCs stand to potentially phase out this tool for human rights defenders, making them entirely reliant on currency that is surveilled and easily frozen and censored

Unlike cash, CBDCs can require ID, have expiration dates, be remotely
frozen, and abide by blacklists

HRF believes CBDCs pose a significant threat to human rights work worldwide, especially for people living under tyranny

More than 100 countries are researching CBDCs, while more than 20 have pilots, and a handful of governments have already launched some kind of retail product

Russia, India, the EU, the US, Brazil, and other major governments
have all signaled intent to pursue CBDC projects

HRF considers it important to track these activities and document what risk they pose to human rights

We are pleased to be working with the Bitcoin Policy Institute to launch the CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington at 10:00am ET on November 14th

We are excited to share the work of the project authors: Nick Anthony, Janine Roem, and Matthew Mezinskis

If you would like to learn more about the project or RSVP to the launch event, please contact nostr:npub1cf3zeytdnwgwzz5pk2ax0vvmmlzad03xcft4d50ejrfhsh8pxcdsefx7gk

We look forward to sharing the resource with all of you on Nov 14

I've been rugged by just about every online community I've ever been part of. It starts out great, then slowly bad decisions are made, and all the friends, connections, and the community you made are gone, replaced by a hollow shell of what it used to be. All the effort to create and connect is wasted.

Nostr solves this specific problem. The connections, friends, and communities exist outside of any one app or site. They are portable in a way not possible with legacy social media. The way your key enables you to log in anywhere, and have access to all your data *is the killer app* of Nostr. It's just hard to explain it without using it.

"Imagine never having to set up a new user account ever again?"


I came to Nostr for the first time in February as a no-coiner.

A guy sends me a polite email, and says in a couple paragraphs that 1) he doesn't really see any role for bitcoin in a portfolio, it has no intrinsic value, and it just trades on sentiment and also that 2) it threatens USD hegemony and so politicians are likely going to add friction to it.

So I'm like, well, if there's nothing particularly valuable about it to give it any value or consideration for a portfolio, why does it threaten USD hegemony? Like, it threatens the largest and most globally salable monetary network in the world while having no intrinsic value, no portfolio role, while just being a thing that trades on sentiment?

My thinking is that Bitcoin is a kind of bottom-up democracy. It takes the majority of the network to agree on changes or transactions. A powerful counter to today's corrupt democracy 🗳

> It can’t be changed. It can’t be argued with. It can’t be tampered with. It can’t be corrupted. It can’t be stopped. It can’t even be interrupted.

― Ralph Merkle


> It has happened oft ere now,
That foeman's weapon has laid low
The crowned head, where battle plain,
Was miry red with the blood-rain.
But Domald dies by bloody arms,
Raised not by foes in war's alarms ―
Raised by his Swedish liegemen's hand,
To bring good seasons to the land.

 ― Thjódólf of Hvinir

In olden days, people paid indulgence to escape purgatory. Now, we pays taxes to avoid prison. But you are the first in a line of generations who will live on a Bitcoin standard. And thus, you will not [blót](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%B3t) (blood sacrifice) to either God or the state, but rather to the community.

Most people you know have not yet grasped this. You can say they still live in Flatland, a two-dimensional world, struggling to comprehend objects that can exist in a three-dimensional reality. When they encounter a ball penetrating their universe, they only see a point stretching out and contracting again. They continue to live in a fiat standard and lack the ability to understand a world based on a Bitcoin standard.

They don't see that the days of the state are numbered. Their elected representatives are more concerned with enriching themselves, whether at the [cost of the community](https://www.thelocal.no/20220302/norwegian-minister-resigns-over-commuter-housing-scandal), [others' property](https://www.politico.eu/article/sunglasses-norway-bjornar-moxnes-red-party-resign/), or [war profiteers](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-21/norway-junior-minister-quits-after-buying-defense-firm-s-stock#xj4y7vzkg). Journalist Julian Assange said in 2011: *"The goal is an endless war, not a successful war,"* and that the state's plan is to siphon money out of taxpayers. Unfortunately, Julian is now on the altar, to be blót for the state's goal of preventing freedom.

But you will not be bound by the state's restrictions. Bitcoin is democracy.

Stay humble, stack sats.

The Biden administration blew up the pipelines but the action had little to do with winning or stopping the war in Ukraine. It resulted from fears in the White House that Germany would waver and turn on the flow of Russia gas—and that Germany and then NATO, for economic reasons, would fall under the sway of Russia and its extensive and inexpensive natural resources. And thus followed the ultimate fear: that America would lose its long-standing primacy in Western Europe.

> Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns ― or dollars. Take your choice ― there is no other ― and your time is running out.

*― Excerpt from Francisco's Money Speech in the book Atlas Shrugged (1957) written by Ayn Rand*

Our freedom to use our money has diminished, and we’re increasingly becoming tools for other men. The current monetary system is reminiscent of a social credit system, bearing similarities to George Orwell's dystopian vision in *“1984”*.

Some plebs have asked me how I have a custom bitcoin lightning ⚡ address from my own web server even though I have a custodial wallet ([WalletOfSatoshi](https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/)).

So I have created a simple guide:

1. Go to the root folder of your web server.

2. Create two folders *".well-known"* and in that folder create a folder called *"lnurlp"*.

`mkdir -p .well-known/lnurlp`

3. Download the json file with your information from WOS and save it in the folder you just created. Replace *<WOS_USERNAME>* with your WOS username and *<COOL_USERNAME>*  with your name or something else cool.

`wget -O .well-known/lnurlp/<COOL_USERNAME> https://walletofsatoshi.com/.well-known/lnurlp/<WOS_USERNAME>`

Finally the plebs will be able to zap you at *<COOL_USERNAME>@your-website.com* 🤙

A step-by-step guide on creating your unique Lightning address.


In the face of inflation, safeguard your future from currency devaluation by buying bitcoin. It's a shield against the erosion of your time and energy.


My first long-form note 📝

nostr:naddr1qqxnzd3ex5ergvfcx5mnjdesqgs2kay3p3cpta4e3gj798j4vdmyus63lskpaf0ypyuh8f8qlavy6ccrqsqqqa28936d3f


On January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin, enabling global peer-to-peer transactions, democratizing access to financial networks for billions.

#### Bitcoin Solves:

* **Centralization:** Bitcoin operates peer-to-peer, eliminating the need for centralized trust in government authorities.
* **Verifiability:** Anyone can access and validate the authenticity of bitcoin transactions.
* **Inflation:** Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million prevents inflation, safeguarding your purchasing power over time.

### 🌐 Decentralization matters

Bitcoin operates without a central authority, relying on collective consensus. It offers financial inclusion to the unbanked, ensuring secure wealth storage and growth, unaffected by credit scores. Participation is identity-independent, allowing everyone to engage pseudonymously. Bitcoin empowers individuals to be their own bank, retaining full control over their wealth, free from external oversight.

### ✅ Don't trust, verify

Miners and nodes form the Bitcoin network. Nodes have three roles: storing the timechain, validating transactions, and enforcing network rules. More distributed nodes mean greater decentralization. Nodes communicate directly, ensuring transaction integrity and preventing fraud. They protect the network by validating transactions and blocks, and if a malicious transaction is detected, it's collectively rejected by all nodes.

### ⚠ 21 Million

The origin of Bitcoin's 21 million cap remains a mystery, likely an arbitrary choice. What's crucial is its immutability—embedded in the code and requiring unanimous agreement for any alteration. While there are over 21 million people globally, not everyone can own a whole bitcoin. Thankfully, Bitcoin can be divided into "satoshis," akin to cents for dollars. Each bitcoin comprises 100 million satoshis, resulting in a staggering total of 2.1 quadrillion satoshis.

## ⛏ Proof of Work

Proof of Work (PoW) is the game-changer, eliminating the need for a centralized authority like the government. This consensus algorithm requires Bitcoin miners to invest energy and computational power, racing to validate new transactions. The first miner to crack a complex 64-character hexadecimal serial number (a hash) is rewarded with bitcoin. This motivation drives miners to tirelessly pursue victory. Once achieved, the winning solution and its transaction list are added to the timechain, ensuring decentralization, security, and confirmation of all transactions. This process repeats approximately every ten minutes, incentivizing miners through their proof of work.

### Adaptive difficulty

The Bitcoin protocol features a self-adjusting difficulty every 2016 blocks, or roughly every two weeks. This adjustment occurs to account for changes in the number of miners joining or leaving the network. When more computational power is active, mining becomes harder, and conversely, it becomes easier if miners go offline. The objective is to maintain a consistent rate of producing new blocks, aiming for an average of ten minutes per block.

### Mining is green

Miners are motivated to find the cheapest, long-term electricity sources to validate transactions and earn new bitcoin. Clean, renewable energy happens to be the most sustainable option, in contrast to fossil fuels. Bitcoin mining encourages a shift toward a 100% renewable energy future. However, our current energy technology struggles to efficiently store and transport clean power, resulting in significant waste. Bitcoin fixes this.

### 51% Attack

Weak networks are vulnerable to 51% attacks, where miners controlling over 50% of the network can double spend their tokens, akin to counterfeiting. However, hackers cannot steal tokens from others, only double-spend their own. Executing such an attack on the Bitcoin network demands an immense amount of computational power, making it financially unfeasible for hackers. And such actions would rapidly undermine Bitcoin's value, as the network detects double-spending, resulting in a loss of trust in the network.

## 📏 Scaling Bitcoin

For scaling, there are options such as the Liquid sidechain, but the most widely used at the moment is the Lightning Network, a Layer 2 solution.

The Lightning Network is a second-layer protocol that reduces fees and enables near-instant transactions. With Lightning, you use Bitcoin's base layer for opening and closing channels. With an open channel, you can send numerous transactions with minimal fees and even transact with those you're not directly connected to. Lightning channels allow for trustless routing, automatically finding the fastest path for transactions, making payments seamless.

## 🤝 Buy and HODL

In the face of inflation, safeguard your future from currency devaluation by buying bitcoin. It's a shield against the erosion of your time and energy.

The easiest way to buy Bitcoin is through an exchange, but ensure it allows withdrawals. Exchanges typically require KYC verification, which includes providing your ID. Concerned about privacy, some opt for "non-KYC" platforms. After buying bitcoin, transfer it to a self-custody solution for added security in case of exchange hacks.

### Self-custody and wallets

To truly secure your bitcoin holdings, you must have a private key and a wallet. Private keys are essentially randomly generated passwords, typically taking the form of a 12 to 24-word seed phrase. A wallet serves as an application that communicates with the Bitcoin network and uses your private keys to verify and sign transactions. When it comes to self-custody, it is crucial to record and securely store the seed phrase offline while refraining from sharing it with anyone else.

Your bitcoin is stored on the timechain, while the wallet functions as a tool for storing and utilizing your private keys to sign transactions that transfer funds. In the event of wallet loss, you can still recover your funds using a new wallet, provided you have access to your seed phrase.

#### Software wallets

This represents a significant transition from storing your bitcoin on an exchange. While software wallets are convenient for on-the-go usage, they may not offer the highest level of security due to their internet connectivity. This is because your private keys reside within the application on your phone or computer, making it potentially vulnerable to online threats.

#### Hardware wallets

These wallets securely house your private keys and often look like a flash drive. Since your hardware remains disconnected from the internet, it is considered as "cold" storage and is deemed a significantly safer approach to storing private keys compared to "hot" software wallets. These physical devices enable you to access your bitcoin securely by keeping your private keys offline.

## 👀 Concussion

This is just a brief example of what Bitcoin is. The rabbit hole runs deep 🕳🐇 but with this orange pill you will begin to understand what true money really is.

*Stay humble, stack sats 🤙*

I’d like to reach a bigger audience so if you repost this I’ll zap you 1k sats.

New direction:
- API keys with no balance will now show any translations that our service has already translated from other people. We have to cache translations anyway because clients send the same note multiple times as you scroll.
- price per character lowers to 0.07 sats per character instead of 0.1

Tl;dr: anyone will get already translated notes for free. If you pay for the service, which is now cheaper, you get translations on notes that haven’t been translated and in effect donate translations to other folks.

There’s pretty much no scenario we make any money with this service, (which is okay because we believe in #grownostr) and we can lower our price because of cheaper/dynamic hosting with nostr:npub1n0delesspp5qyp9sd6d4fql9g3s96k7g4yyvfmpdncpp542wvxzqksp427 thanks to nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8

I watched a documentary yesterday in which a person expressed the idea that "It is important for everyone to be on the same page in a well-functioning society."

However, I strongly disagree with this. If everyone is consistently on the same page, it's highly probable that they're on the wrong page. I believe it's best if everyone is on different pages and must work together to discover the right one.

Just my #thoughts on it 🤷

#Bitcoin and #GameTheory: A Deeper Dive

Bitcoin stands as more than just a digital asset; it's a masterstroke of technological precision, economic prudence, and game-theoretical design. For those who've begun their journey into Bitcoin and want to delve deeper, understanding its intricate relationship with game theory can be illuminating.

The Miner's Dilemma: Beyond validating transactions, miners are in a strategic race. They compete with peers, evolving technology, and fluctuating energy costs. Their decisions, driven by Bitcoin's reward system, underpin its decentralization, making large-scale attacks costly and unattractive.

Hodling as Collective Strategy: Holding Bitcoin is a testament to its perceived long-term value. But from a game theory lens, hodlers, by reducing the available supply, enforce scarcity. This strategy resembles a game-theoretical cooperation: individual actions, taken collectively, amplify the value of everyone's holdings.

The Immutable 21 Million: Bitcoin's cap isn't arbitrary. It acts as a commitment device, ensuring no participant can alter this predetermined scarcity. This universally acknowledged limit profoundly influences individual decisions to buy and hold.

Consensus as Coordination: Achieving consensus in Bitcoin isn't merely about majority agreement; it's about intricate coordination. Every proposed change becomes a delicate game, as nodes assess the advantages against potential risks, like network splits or diminished trust.

In sum, Bitcoin is a real-world embodiment of game theory. Each facet, from its supply cap to the rewards for miners, is a delicate balance of individual and shared interests. Recognizing these deeper mechanics allows one to truly appreciate Bitcoin's ingenious architecture and its potential to redefine our understanding of money.

***WHY USING A NIP07 EXTENSION FOR BROWSER NOSTR APPS IS MORE SECURE***

*I just explained Nip07 to someone and figured if one person wanted to understand how the extensions work, others would also. This is an expanded explanation.*

**First, let me illustrate:** imagine that somebody wanted to rob your house and tried to pick your pocket for the key -- but you didn't have the key on you because it was safely stored in a locked place the robber cannot access. The robber would be out of luck.

The Nip07 extension is the safe that the web site stores your private Nostr key so a hacker cannot compromise your account.

**Now for the technicals (but not too technical):**

Nos2x, Alby and any other Nip07 extension injects an object (script) into the web page that allows the browser to ask the extension to sign events rather than having to sign them within the page itself.

That is, each time you want to post a note or Like a note, it hands the request to the extension which "signs" the event with the key that only the extension has access to. Unless the event is properly signed the relay will not accept it because it hasn't been verified as coming from your account.

This is more secure because if the website got hacked and your private key was visible to the page (which it has to be if the page itself is doing the signing), then the hacker would have access to your private key and could use it for nefarious purposes. With the extension holding your key, and with the website unable to access any data stored by the extension, it's much more protected.

Even if the hacker used the extension to sign some events while you were on the page, the hacker still does not have access to your key and you could stop using that website without compromising the security of your key.

Of course, you have to trust the creator of the extension not to use your private key and to handle it securely, but it's certainly much better than the website itself holding the key.

Native phone apps are already much more secure in this regard, so they don't need an extension. It's very difficult to "hack" a phone app and inject code into it. The app stores scan for viruses and do pattern matching and such to make sure apps are "safe". Websites do not have these security measures generally. You still need to trust the app maker, but again, it's much safer than a website handling your key.

**So always use a Nip07 extension if you're using a web-based Nostr client.**
