Check the text of the #AML regulation “before and after”: you see that provisions which defended #crowdfunding efforts for civil society organisations and supported by the European Parliament in April 2023 were deleted during the #Trilogue.

This unreasonable and disproportionate expansion, without any exceptions, in effect, devastates fundraising efforts for activists and NGOs like Open Dialogue Foundation. In times of crisis, such as natural disasters, military conflicts, like the latest in #Ukraine, or emergencies, crowdfunding becomes a rapid and effective means for civil society to gather resources.

The proposed expansion of the AMLR to categorize all crowdfunding platforms as risky channels echoes existing de-risking practices that have already shown devastating impacts on vital humanitarian efforts. 2/5 https://image.nostr.build/92c0c5105d3bb59e79c4871bc7b4c60d677d94423914833727280ea2f6183b4f.jpg


This was in the making for 2+ years.
Once implemented, these things will never go away

Have you heard your favorite Bitcoin influencers talk about this until a few weeks ago?

What a major failure of our community.

A suggestion for acinq's   phoenixd.

Allow creating a special channel that requires acinq's side to sign the channel state that decreases the balance in the channel only with additional key. And allow the commitment transaction's destination address to be on HW wallet (say xpub).

This way:

- phoenixd running as a hot wallet to receive payments (hopefully soon in BtcpayServer) can only receive payments (while paying fees of course).
- for sending, additional signature is needed (this could be a key signed message, possibly with hw wallet integration later)
- broadcasting latest commitment transaction is possible, but it will not end up at backup seed derived wallet, but on the hardware wallet of the owner.

This way:
- hacking of machine where phoenixd resides is not catastrophic. Hacker can broadcast last state (commitment transaction), old state should not be saved. This will end up with the funds safely arriving in the hw wallet eventually.
- an attacker can only receive to the phoenixd, but not send. For sending, a cold wallet key is required. Phoenixd has all the keys to sign new states, but acinq would not sign a new state that would decrease the channel balance without a third key.

Please ?!?


Thank you. This is actually the first concise explanation I saw of what this phoenixd actually is

Imagine where we would be if 2016 we just went with ecash (backed by on-⛓)instead of 8+ years of skilled dev resources working on LN. 🤷

Probably:
Bittorent tracker-like handful of major mints dominating the scene, but fast reliable private payments and super easy UX.
The mints would have invented a form of payment channels/ LN anyway, to efficiently settle balances between them.

This. Yes.

Getting more and more the feeling that LN was a bit of a time waster, and that creating virtual representation of BTC utxo («Token». eg cashu, statecoin etc) & and passing them around off chain is this actual solution for the internet payment use case. Not as decentralized, not as trust minimized, not as technically fancy as LN - but simple, reliable, and absolutely superior UX

Payment channels would have evolved naturally anyway, as a way for mints to settle amongst them. But it's not sth for regular user wallets.

Iris' "For You" algo is actually pretty useful too


Right. Americans beyond the academia/DC policy/journo bubble didn't know/didn't care about it, given their notorious ADHD.


The seminal work on this is "Gustave Le Bon: Psychology of the masses (1895)"

It really explains the mechanism of totalitarianism in the 20th, but also the development in past couple of years


Yes. It had been very little covered in western media.
The average American certainly has never heard it


No. But he openly states that he disputes Ukrainian being an own people and Ukraine being anything but a Russian province, that swindled it's way to "independence".

No news to anyone who cared to listen, but it being spoken out loud to an English speaking world audience is a first i think.

Let's see what conclusions are being taken


Avoid downloading #android apps from F-Droid.

F-Droid is compromised and has censored apps for ideological reasons. They don't care about freedom or free speech. I'll write more on this topic later.

It's also not secure to get your apps from there, because all of them are signed by F-Droid – you’re adding a party you’ll have to trust, which isn’t ideal.

I only use F-Droid to find #FOSS apps that I would not have discovered otherwise. I recommend using Obtainium, which lets you install and update your apps directly from their source.

Obtainium ftw!


Use minibits.cash


Hilarious that no one on Nostr seems to know that pseudonymity != privacy and yet try to use Nostr being "private" to dunk on anyone who still uses other social media.

You're not going to want to hear this, but Nostr is VERY BAD for privacy, but great for pseudonymity.

For most people, Nostr directly ties their HOME IP ADDRESS to their nym and publishes this correlation to a dozen servers they don't control for all to see.

While being pseudonymous is pretty easy on Nostr, being private requires a good, always-on non-logging VPN, or even better connecting to relays only through Tor at a bare minimum.

Whirlpool in the background with Sparrow Server and RaspiBlitz

A step-by-step guide on how to set up a 24/7 background mixing service on your RaspiBlitz with Sparrow Server and tmux.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesxsenjvesxgunvde5qgsdmup6e2z6mcpeue6z6kl08he49hcen5xnrc3tnpvw0mdgtjemh0srqsqqqa28040vwf

CoinJoins are an important part of a Bitcoiners daily life.
They allow financial privacy on the very open ledger that is the Bitcoin blockchain.
However, because CoinJoins require the coordination
of many different participants, they sometimes take time to be completed.
A setup that can mix your coins 24/7 in the background comes in very handy.
Below you will find a step by step guide of how to download, install,
run and detach (keep alive) a Sparrow mixing session on your RaspiBlitz.

## Install Sparrow Server

SSH into your RaspiBlitz and paste the following commands into your command line.

```sh
wget -O sparrow-server_1.8.1-1_arm64.deb https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/download/1.8.1/sparrow-server_1.8.1-1_arm64.deb
wget -O sparrow-1.8.1-manifest.txt https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/download/1.8.1/sparrow-1.8.1-manifest.txt
wget -O sparrow-1.8.1-manifest.txt.asc https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/download/1.8.1/sparrow-1.8.1-manifest.txt.asc
curl https://keybase.io/craigraw/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
gpg --verify sparrow-1.8.1-manifest.txt.asc
sudo dpkg -i sparrow-server_1.8.1-1_arm64.deb
```

- The `wget` commands download the required files from the sparrowwallet repository.
  _Please note that we install version 1.8.1 with these commands.
  Check the repository for the latests version
  and adjust them accordingly._
- Then we `curl` the PGP key of the Sparrow developer and
  import it into our gpg key-chain, to verify the signature using `gpg`.
- Finally we `dpkg` to install the Sparrow Server debian package.

## Configure Sparrow Server

Sparrow Server looks for a configuration file in `~/.sparrow/` by default.
In there we use JSON to configure our Sparrow Server installation.

Create and open the config file using `vim` from your home directory.

```sh
cd ~
mkdir .sparrow && vim .sparrow/config
```

Then copy the following JSON and replace `<ELECTRS IP>`
with your Electrum Server IP address.
_If you have ElectRS installed on your RaspiBlitz this will be `127.0.0.1:50001`_

```JSON
{
  "mode": "ONLINE",
  "fiatCurrency": "USD",
  "exchangeSource": "COINGECKO",
  "loadRecentWallets": true,
  "validateDerivationPaths": true,
  "groupByAddress": true,
  "includeMempoolOutputs": true,
  "notifyNewTransactions": true,
  "checkNewVersions": true,
  "openWalletsInNewWindows": false,
  "hideEmptyUsedAddresses": false,
  "showTransactionHex": true,
  "showLoadingLog": true,
  "showAddressTransactionCount": false,
  "showDeprecatedImportExport": false,
  "signBsmsExports": false,
  "preventSleep": false,
  "dustAttackThreshold": 1000,
  "enumerateHwPeriod": 30,
  "useZbar": true,
  "serverType": "ELECTRUM_SERVER",
  "useLegacyCoreWallet": false,
  "electrumServer": "tcp://<ELECTRS IP>",
  "recentElectrumServers": [
    "tcp://<ELECTRS IP>"
  ],
  "useProxy": false,
  "autoSwitchProxy": true,
  "maxServerTimeout": 34,
  "maxPageSize": 100,
  "usePayNym": false,
  "sameAppMixing": false,
  "mempoolFullRbf": false
}
```

_To save and exit in vim hit ESC, then type `:wq` and hit enter_

## Run Sparrow Server in the background

Now that we have installed Sparrow Server
and configured it to use our local Electrum Rust Server,
we are ready to go. To start Sparrow Server we use the following command

```sh
/opt/sparrow/bin/Sparrow
```

However this would bind the process to our current SSH session
and kill Sparrow Server once we disconnect.
To avoid that we are going to use a `tmux` session to run the server.
This way we can detach the session before disconnecting.
Whenever we want to check on our Sparrow Server we can SSH in and reattach the session.

```sh
# Create a new tmux session
tmux
# Once the session started, run Sparrow Server and go through the setup
/opt/sparrow/bin/Sparrow
```

Once you are happy with your setup and started mixing,
you can detach the session by hitting `CTRL-b` followed by `d`.
This should bring you back to where you where
when you started the session and print `[detached (from session 0)]` to your terminal.

Now you can log out from your SSH session
and the process will remain active within the session.
To reattach to the running session simply SSH back in and use the following command:

```sh
tmux attach
```

---

Congrats! You just spun up and configured your personal 24/7 mixing server.

I thought I was an old fart by running my own servers and never jumping on the "cloud" (AWS and such). Mainly I was lazy to learn it and I already knew how to take care of Linux servers. I am only slowly getting used to docker for specific use-cases.

Seems that it's also a cheaper choice.

Tomorrow, January 4th, the verdict in Julian Assange's extradition trial will be delivered, and honestly, I can't bring myself to think that today we are celebrating the birth of the key to humanity's freedom and tomorrow, a man who did nothing wrong and has been deprived of his freedom may be stripped away of all his human rights.

I've been thinking a lot about this, especially after chatting with @Stella and John Shipton last year. They really opened my eyes to how messed up this whole situation is. If you're curious, check out our full talk here: https://youtu.be/ugeDIda5Zac

I hope tomorrow's verdict brings Julian closer to being freed and back with his family. But this isn't the end of the road for Assange. His final appeal in London's High Court is set for February. This could be his last chance to avoid extradition to the United States, where he faces serious charges. This moment is key, not just for Assange but for journalism and civil liberties worldwide.

If you're in the US, this is your call to action. Hit up your congressperson. Tell them to push Biden to drop all charges against Assange. Your voice can make a difference.

With this, I want to say that even though I'm totally blown away and super thankful for Bitcoin turning 15 today, it's tough to really get into the party mood. Knowing there are so many freedom fighters out there getting their wings clipped, it hits hard... We could be next...

Today isn't just about partying and celebrating for me. Today, I'm all about standing up to the establishment, reminding them they can't shut us down. We've got to keep fighting every single day, but especially on days like today, especially every January 3rd.

For all the merchants looking to accept Lightning in their nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg stores, I highly recommend checking out this newly launched plugin from nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw!

This is a HUGE deal - once you have Blink account and tie it through Lightning connection, not only can you seamlessly accept payments without worrying about channel management and liquidity, but you also have the option to hedge in StableSats USD.

Here's a trailer showcasing the plugin in action:

https://m.primal.net/HWYe.mp4

And then blog post on Blink's website explains all the details of setup and vision behind plugin: https://www.blink.sv/blog/introducing-the-blink-plugin-for-btcpay-server

So far in my own testing everything is working very smoothly; I'll continue to explore and play with the tech, as this has absolute potential for use in all my merchant setups and workshops at the conferences.

Finally - h/t to nostr:npub1y24gz5gwucl79vtv4ctwpysl0r5m4xyzu2rgulnr44ks3t5mt92q4nz2ad who is the coding powerhouse behind the plugin. It's all FOSS, so check out git repo on: https://github.com/Kukks/BTCPayServerPlugins/tree/master/Plugins/BTCPayServer.Plugins.Blink

One of the many benefits of Lightning in the BitBoxApp is that you can receive a transaction on your desktop and spend it on your smartphone (and vice versa)!

I really wish it were “decentralized”, but it’s really not at all? It’s just faster payouts, sadly.

But exactly that strategy can be done with *any* Lightning wallet.
- Open a big channel (either from the LSP in case of Zeus, Breez, Mutiny etc, or you open one yourself to a good routing node)
- Spend or swap out with Boltz of you need inbound.
- Optional: swap in via Boltz to refill the channel if you need to make bigger payments.

Thank you for all🙏


I knew this day would probably come, but didn't expect it so soon.

I am being investigated for running an illegal money transmission business in Canada (nodeless)

Under the advice of my lawyers I need to shut down the main instance of it.

As you guys know I made Nodeless completely open source in the event that this happens, so that others who don't live under communism can run a honest, privacy focused payments business.

To my clients who are using it, I'm very sorry for the short notice but you'll need to find a new payment processing solution this weekend.

DM me on telegram and I will personally walk you through setting up a btcpayserver instance that you can self host, or even your own instance of nodeless.

I can't give much more information than this, not even supposed to say this much, but I owe it to you guys to let you know what's going on.

To install nodeless on your own server, you can get started here:

No. I am looking for a Domain registrar (a place to buy a domain name à la "mysuperwebsite.io"), which I can pay with LN.

I know of Namecheap, but they only supports LN through Bitpay, which sucks big time, and requires registration. They also support on-chain separately through BTYPayserver, but only on-chain


Can anyone recommend a decent domain registrar, that supports LN payments? Thanks 🙏

Ah. Wasn't aware you can also Sell through them nowadays..
Always thought of them as a buy-only shop like Pocket


Can you elaborate? You bought from them, withdrew, and then coinjoined - and they tracked that and blocked you ex post?


Anyone with an LNURL capable service or client should be pushing back against this shit.

If you run into a VASP LNURL (UMA) you should disable interactions or warn the user.

🚀 Breaking News: Geyser migrates to Nostr! 🌌

Every Geyser project now gets a unique Nostr identity (NPUB) - a big leap for the Open Creator Economy!

🧵

🆕 Your Geyser project lives on Nostr, regardless of whether you're logging in via Nostr or Twitter.  This means broader visibility and more engagement for your content on Nostr platforms!
This has several implications:

📣 Cross-Platform Freedom: Tired of content silos? Us too. Now creators can share content freely across platforms, reaching wider audiences.
Stay tuned for more exciting content features!

🤝 Stronger Connections:
Leveraging Nostr's open social graph, Geyser will enhance:
- Cross-platform follows
- Home page curation based on your Nostr network
- Seamless activity sync between Geyser and Nostr

🛡 Trust & Transparency:
Nostr's open graph helps mitigate scams and impersonation.
Plus, a creator's reputation on Geyser now carries over across Nostr – fostering a more trustworthy environment for the donation economy.

🔓 Data Ownership:
With the ability to export your NSEC using a Private Key Kit, creators maintain control and mobility across Nostr clients, reinforcing our commitment to creator autonomy and censorship resistance. More on this soon.

🌅 Just the Beginning:
Aligning with Nostr opens doors to exciting features: Nostr Posts, replies, polls, hidden posts... Imagine Patreon, but with content flowing seamlessly across the Nostrverse.

🔄 Building Geyser around Openness:
- Embracing open-source philosophy
- Building on robust technical architecture
- Enhancing product potential for creators
We're thrilled about what this means for the broader creator community!

After all these years, IMMORTAN lite wallets still give me the best non-custodial user experience (success rate, speed, fees).

And for onboarding, ppl could still use the hosted channels (which i don't) and swap from HC to own channel once they got enough inbound.

They just all look a bit shit.. 🤷


https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/25741292.2020.1725366

They mention multiple sources and estimates, so it's good start to see different estimates. This is among the most conservative.

I would add these not so much fun things:

A 2018  study by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) found that less than 1%  of criminal proceeds are laundered through the formal financial system.

A 2019 study by the IMF found that the cost of AML compliance for banks is estimated to be between 0.1% and 1% of global GDP.

A  2020 study by the World Bank found that AML compliance costs can be  particularly burdensome for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

0.1% to 1% of GLOBAL GDP(!) to fight paper dolls. OMG.


Wish it was so.

Feels more like the people with the whip "convinced" the slaves that whipping is a good, even necessary thing


Nostr has no moderation or censorship and I don't see us killing children, terrorist attacks, or Satanist rituals.

Strange, the state had told me that freedom of speech was very bad.

Then Participant 0 illegally spent the pathcoin:

German translation and abstract of nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 during #Bitcoin Amsterdam. Includes my Personal view / interpretation. No claim for completeness.

1) Zunächst beginnt er den Vortrag und hebt hervor, dass die Welt derzeit „endet“ und wir Bitcoiner/Menschen lieber „Spiele spielen“. Menschen lassen sich auseinander treiben und es wird sich fokussiert dadrauf „den Gegner“ zu besiegen und es irgendwie zu schaffen, dass dieser verschwindet. Ein Diskurs ist immer schwerer möglich. Menschen spielen dieses Spiel aber mit, weil es „zu gut“ ist, trotz das mittlerweile einige Funktionen klar gehackt wurden (Anspielung auf Geld drucken, Verschuldung, etc.).
Dann schliesst er mit der ersten grossen Kritik.
-> Ein zentrales politisches Problem sei es, dass zu wenige Menschen der Maxime folgen: „Freiheit & Glück oder ansonsten folgt der Untergang“.

Menschen haben wenig „skin in the game“ und haben es sich zu gemütlich gemacht.

2) Der Finanzsektor und Zahlungen werden die Welt in Zukunft verändern. #Bitcoin ist ein sehr großer Hebel dabei, aber die Welt und Bitcoin haben ein #Privacy Problem. Wir sollten uns darum dringend kümmern.
Das geheime Handeln und sich verbergen ist keine Freiheit 🗽 und nicht das Ziel.
Wir müssen das Kollektiv (=die Massen) davon befreien.
!!! Die Notwendigkeit von Coinjoins ist der Beweis für Unfreiheit !!!

Wir sollten aufhören um Erlaubnis zu fragen und sollten an Lösungen arbeiten, die eingebaute Privatsphäre haben.
Die On-chain Überwachung werde auch immer besser. Im Jahr 2013, als Snowden einen Server-Hosting Dienst mit Bitcoin bezahlt hatte, um Journalisten Dateien über NSA Themen zukommen zu lassen, dauerte es noch recht lange, bis der Staat seine Identität der On-Chain Adresse zuordnen konnte. Heute geht das alles deutlich schneller…

Der Raum für Innovationen ist leider enger geworden. Mehr und mehr Leute werden dafür ins Gefängnis gesteckt. Er erwähnte dann das Tornado 🌪 Cash Beispiel.

3) Er schliesst dann mit den Worten, dass wir (die Gesellschaft) einen weiteren Moment systemischer Unruhe vor uns haben, es aber gleichzeitig neue und spannende technische Entwicklung gibt an denen gearbeitet wird. Eines der Themen mit denen sich Snowden in letzter Zeit beschäftigt hat und welches ihn sehr interessiert ist #Nostr.

Er sieht bei Nostr freedom of speech (Redefreiheit) und die Freiheit Handel zu betreiben!

Mit dieser Pointe endet sein Vortrag.

Avoiding posting on Twitter at the moment. I’m just watching there. There’s enough overnight-expert Middle East hot takes and emotions are running high. The violence and scenes are terrible, and my heart goes out to all victims involved and those who will be caught up in it going forward.

I’ll instead post a few things in my lane here as it relates to global finance and todays actions relating to things I’ve already been covering but that now obviously have updates. Helps me get my thoughts together for what will eventually be my next client report.

-Actions like this show the difficulty of multinational currency agreements. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been having more peaceful relations lately as China brought them together (“enemy of my enemy is my pragmatic financial friend”, and so forth). They are both set to join BRICS+ in January 2024.

-But, Saudi Arabia has also been working with the US and Israel on normalizing relations with Israel, in exchange for US arms deals and such. Saudi Arabia was also making promises to raise oil output to alleviate oil prices if they grow too quickly, which the US wants.

-So this attack (w/ Iranian involvement and public support) puts Saudi Arabia in a weird place. Lots of division and competing goals within BRICS+. Has all sorts of implications for Saudi/Israeli relations, Saudi/US relations, and what happens in the coming weeks will affect how those go.

-Egypt and Ethiopia are also joining BRICS+ in January 2024 and they have had a multi year ongoing feud regarding the Grand Renaissance dam on the Nile.

-China and India are well known as not being on good terms. Border disputes and all that.

-Building trade and currency and military agreements between so many different cultures is a bigger challenge than doing so between US and West Europe.

Mutiny is now easier to self host!

We've re-engineered our storage solution, VSS, to run on a normal host, rather than Cloudflare's beta D1 service. Everything has been running smoothly since we migrated. Let us know if you have any issues.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/self-hosting-mutiny/

VSS is a key part of Mutiny because browser storage can be at times unreliable, especially on iOS. VSS is end-to-end encrypted storage for lightning channel state. It also makes it easy to restore your wallet on another device.

The cool upside: now that this part of Mutiny Wallet is just a standard server + Postgres, it's a lot easier to self-host Mutiny. We put together a new repo with the core pieces you need, and we have docs there as well for how to self-host Mutiny on a VPS.

Nice set-up we've got going with our #1 POS merchant:

1. Business does well. Customers deplete our channel and balance goes almost entirely to the merchant's side
2. Merchant pays us on LN and pushes that balance to our side of the channel
3. We pay the merchant out on-chain to their cold storage

Now the merchant can keep accepting LN payments, have their earnings safely in cold storage AND we don't have to open a new channel to them; we can keep using the existing one.

Just finished a big upgrade to Mutiny's infrastructure, should fix all the recent downtime we've been having. Should have a post mortum about it this week but tldr fuck cloudflare.


STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT

Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.

There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.

My offending tweet?

"Bring back the guillotine."

I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496

Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.

The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.

My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.

Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.

https://image.nostr.build/a1b456c03a938e3bbe2f89e6eccad0424088aae132844053fd519e80a853ba0c.jpg

Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.

On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.

As part of my educational content, I also sell plug & play Bitcoin Nodeboxes to those who want to quickly get up and running without the steep learning curve that goes behind it. Have a watch of how easy it can be.

The close to 10m sats you donated was enough to relight a street. So in this video, the street you see was dark for 3 years, tonight it is lit.

It was crazy, all the neighbours came out and were taking photos, it was a mini street party. They explained how this changes their lives.lThank you so much.

At the moment my OpenTimestamps calendars have a bit less than two weeks worth of funds remaining. At current fee rates it costs ~$30/week to timestamp every ~5 hours.

Donations would be appreciated. You can donate either on-chain, or with lightning, via: https://alice.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org/ or by zapping this post.

In general don’t use a device dedicated to storing bitcoin to store bitcoin. Any hardware wallet that isn’t (a) exclusively multisig or (b) is designed to not be able to leak your keys via nonce (I believe only bitboxv2 and Jade) should be considered incompetent at best.

There had been lots of talk about this, but

Are there any services yet where you can pay miners directly to include a transaction?

Wasn't mempool.space offering sth like this?


One of the first problems #lightning #node operators usually face is not having channels with incoming liquidity.

You need other #nodes to open a channel to yours in order to have the ability to receive sats AND send them.

This is where we come in! Just DM us  at any time and we'll provide you with a free 1m sat channel (or even larger capacities).

🔥 EPIC ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥

New Look, New Pricing, New Products 🫡

=====

We have been hard at work with a new version of relaying.io !

Excited to announce the following changes are now live:

1. We launched a high powered, high availability public relay. Anyone can connect at:

wss://public.relaying.io ✅

2. You can now import all your old notes to your private relay in one click!

3. We have lowered our pricing from $9/mo to $7/mo for the basic relay. Now way cheaper than a blue check, which is the benchmark.

4. All relays have a minimum of 2 vCPUs. We've also been tuning configurations and now only support strfry. This greatly improves performance and stability and allows us to focus on the fastest relay implementation for our clients.

5. All of our existing customers have their relays extended a year from today. Meaning all your service up to now is on us 😎. We will also be sending you a $25 rebate to account for the lower prices now.

Launch your own private relay today: relaying.io

Any questions? Ask below 👇

This really is the worst. Instagram started the trend with their hideous "log in or else" flow. Then Twitter and reddit went to insanely privacy-hostile API changes instead of simply requiring a proof of work or anon payment. Even some major nostr relays seem to be doing Tor blocking now (damus? Not sure, but I get a ton of errors connecting to certain relays via Tor.)

Platforms have become so fearful of bots/spam/scraping (or rather pretend to be fearful, so as to justify blatantly commercial and anti-social decision-making) that they've totally destroyed the open access model that a functioning freenet depends on.

This is the main reason I want to see "unowned" protocols succeed. Jack has it right: we're at a turning point.

eCash would be a privacy upgrade for custodial LN wallets. I once brought up the idea to add a "Make private" button on LNbits - which would covert all balances all accounts that are hosted on the instead to eCash.

The custodian would no longer see what each custodee has and whom he's paying (ideally).

Not sure it's doable, but be worth an investigation.

What's Nostr kind=892? Is this a public message, or encrypted DM?

The way I see it: Nostr data is forever. Like nude pics on the internet.

Yes, there is is NIP-9 Delete request events, but each relay operator is in full control of his database and you have to trust that they actually obey the Delete request, and not keep logs or backups.

Would be better for the whole mix/coordination to be truly ephemeral imho..


Interesting! Couple of questions:

- No fees for coordinator, right?
- No fixed pool sizes?  theoretically one could CJ any utxo as long as I find takers (which will be highly unlikely for non-standard amounts.. but thats a diff topic)?
- Can you configure how many peers you want in your mix, or is it fixed to 5?
- Where would ppl discover CJ peers? I guess ppl would register their utxo to a well known Nostr relay, and the client would periodically poll if there are others?
- No fees/No fidelity bonds -> easy to sybil attack?


I have been trying to build a coinjoin implementation using nostr since last year alone and got some help from BOB recently.

- cli ✅
- web (localhost with bitcoin node)✅
- electrum plugin (almost done)

It was previously maintained on GitHub.

Something big I'm working on for #Bitcoin also needs a full time #Lightning protocol developer.

Please reach out privately if you're interested. 😄

What is the best open end up end encrypted messenger that has a good cli client for most platforms to send messages from scripts?

I currently use signal-cli, but looking for a change.

- signal-cli requires java, quite specific versions and it's hard to install / upgrade on nas devices. I would much prefer a self contained binary (like restic does)

- signal starts requiring captchas, especially over vpn. Not good for scripts

- telegram? Lol. No.

- matrix could be nice, if there is good self contained cli client. I don't need to receive currently, only send. Any tips?

- simplex - after fighting with haskell and not being able to compile it according to instructions neither on macos, nor on Linux. Binaries don't work (mac is x86 only, not arm64, Linux - I don't use Ubuntu)

- session maybe? Is there any good cli?

- I need push notifications to work reliably
