Synarchism refers to being governed by an elite, as does communism, but synarchism does not refer to the expropriation of individual wealth, which communism does. The current democracies are confiscating between 50 and 70% of all productive wealth, this is communism.


Democracy today is neo-communism (I like to call it that).

The difference with classical communism is that neo-communism does not seek to abolish private property, what it seeks is to usurp all wealth generated through private property, which includes your salary.


- Democracy is a scam
- You are not free in democracy
- Today's democracy is textbook communism

#GrapheneOS uncovers leaked documentation for smartphone exploits by Cellebrite.

XRY and Cellebrite say they can do consent-based full filesystem extraction with iOS, Android and #GrapheneOS. It means they can extract data from the device once the user provides the lock method, which should always be expected. They unlock, enable developer options and use ADB.

Cellebrite's list of capabilities provided to customers in April 2024 shows they can successfully exploit every non-GrapheneOS Android device brand both BFU and AFU, but not GrapheneOS if patch level is past late 2022. It shows only Pixels stop brute force via the secure element.

 https://image.nostr.build/8e893edfdc5699a979ca586def3e2b20e0179013da3e4cc5b57522870e2982c6.jpg

 https://image.nostr.build/3ef47e97cddad7dc02cdbf6778e484aac415be896ee86053aa7452db791d2934.jpg

Cellebrite has similar capabilities for iOS devices. This is also from April 2024. We can get the same information from newer months. In the future, we'll avoid sharing screenshots and will simply communicate it via text since to prevent easily tracking down the ongoing leaks.

 https://image.nostr.build/17f7e488f9093601c0dff65bdb1274509a91d26362669decc0b006b39e132e58.jpg

 https://image.nostr.build/0ef4e9dcfc1063fbb35c516e134c56df8348195810446128a4ffc6219bdd44e8.jpg
Pixel 6 and later or the latest iPhones are the only devices where a random 6 digit PIN can't be brute forced in practice due to the secure element. Use a strong passphrase such as 6-8 diceware words for a user profile with data you need secured forever regardless of exploits.

Pixels are doing a bit better on the secure element front and iPhones are doing a bit better against OS exploitation, but not by much.

As always, this shows the importance of our auto-reboot feature which gets the data back at rest after a timer since the device was locked.

Our focus in this area is defending against exploitation long enough for auto-reboot to work. It's set to 18 hours since the device was locked by default, but users can set it as low as 10 minutes. Since around January, we massively improved security against these attacks.

By default, our recently added USB-C port control feature disallows new USB connections in AFU mode after the device is locked and fully disables USB data at a hardware level once there aren't active USB connections. Users can set it to also do this in BFU or even when unlocked.

Users with a high threat model can fully disable USB including USB-PD/charging while the OS is booted to only allow charging while powered off or booted into the fastboot/fastbootd/recovery/charging modes.

GrapheneOS on 8th gen Pixels is ideal due to hardware memory tagging.

Consent-based data extraction (FFS) is not in the scope of what we're trying to defend against beyond shipping our secure duress PIN/password implementation to replace insecure approaches via apps. Data users can backup is inherently obtainable with consent, which is nearly all.

Within the past 24 hours, there has been an attack on GrapheneOS across social media platforms misrepresenting consent-based data extraction as GrapheneOS being compromised/penetrated. The person doing it is pretending to be multiple people and falsely claiming we covered it up.

GrapheneOS is the only OS having success defending against these attacks. We could do more with a successful hardware partnership such as having encrypted memory with a per-boot key instead of relying on our kernel memory zeroing combined with auto-reboot and fastbootd zeroing.

New versions of iOS and Pixel OS often invalidate their existing exploits, but devices in AFU are stuck in AFU mode waiting for new exploits.

Random 6 digit PIN is only secure on a Pixel/iPhone and only due to secure element throttling. Use a strong passphrase to avoid this.

If you wonder why duress PIN/password is taking so long, it's because we aren't doing it for show like existing implementations. It needs to work properly and guarantee data will be unrecoverable with no way to interrupt it. Slowly rebooting to recovery to wipe isn't acceptable.

See https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1775305179581018286 for our thread covering the firmware improvements we helped get implemented in the April 2024 release for Pixels. It doesn't currently really help the stock Pixel OS because they haven't blocked the OS exploits that are being used yet but it helps us.

Our hope is that our upcoming 2-factor fingerprint unlock feature combined with a UI for random passphrase and PIN generation will encourage most users to use a 6-8 diceware word passphrase for primary unlock and fingerprint + random 6-digit PIN for convenient secondary unlock.

Cellebrite documentation and has stated they'll upload future versions of it if you want to look at the rest of it:

I love this assessment of Miguel Anxo Bastos:

Miguel Anxo Bastos argues that from the point of view of Liberty and tax collection, monarchies were better than democracies, since in monarchies the citizens perceived their election as illegitimate and the monarchy tried not to interfere too much in the affairs of the citizens and tried not to abuse the collection of taxes, in ancient monarchies never exceeded 10%.

The current democracies are perceived from the citizen's point of view as legitimate since the same citizen participates in his election, and due to this mental process the citizen tolerates tax rates of more than 50%.

An uncomfortable truth

The European welfare system is unsustainable in the medium to long term, especially the public pension systems which are pyramid schemes.

The European governments have decided to open the borders to let in more suckers to be swindled and to keep the system working, but it is not going to work.

Two things will happen:

- Ethnic substitution and implantation of Islam, the whole current system will go to shit, including the politicians.
- Civil war.

The first option is the most likely.


European Central Bank president, Christine Lagarde, announces the launch of the EU's new CBDC—the digital euro—which will enable unelected technocrats to dictate how, when, where, on what and by whom it can be spent, including the imposition of social credit, carbon allowance and vaccine passport systems.

And despite the lie that "cash is here to stay", you can be absolutely certain that megalomaniacs like Lagarde have every intention of gradually phasing out cash altogether.

https://github.com/kayabaNerve/fcmp-ringct/blob/develop/fcmp%2B%2B.pdf

New paper from some Monero researchers (really new it seems - update date is last week!), in which they're proposing to use CurveTrees (the same construct I put into aut-ct as per my recent work) to get much larger anonymity sets (and I do mean *much larger*, from like 10ish to 100000000!).

One very notable thing (to me) is that the very easy and natural secp/secq 2-cycle (you realistically need a 2 cycle of curves for CurveTrees), has to be replaced with something more complex, because their DJB ed25519 curve has a cofactor of 8 (yet again non prime order curve biting them on the ass, lol).

Another interesting tidbit is that they propose to use Liam Eagan's recent work https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/596  (posted almost contemporaneously with Curve Trees); I remember Andrew Poelstra pointing me at this work in '22 and I said to him "I don't understand this" and he responded "yeah it was difficult so I got Liam to come round to my house and explain it" 😁 .. so yeah i'm sure some people can follow the ideas there but I am alas not yet one of them :)

They've also done a review of the generalized bulletproofs construction that Kamp et al used in their CurveTrees implementation: https://github.com/cypherstack/generalized-bulletproofs

Also interesting is that they talk about acheiving a "forward secrecy" property here, which linkable ring signatures can't have, by design: if a future ECDL breaker is found, it can always see the trace of payments in prior Monero because the linking tag reveals the private key if you can crack ECDLP. I'm not sure how this works but I believe it's to do with the Liam Eagan research just mentioned.

Finally, the extremely esoteric and dense mathematical concepts aside, it's worth mention a 1000 ft view: this proposal ditches ring signatures (and somehow they get backwards compatibility for the historical chain, though I absolutely don't understand that yet), and goes to a full ZKP proving system (bulletproofs arithmetic circuits) for full anon set. I can't help wondering if this direction makes sense - if we look at Zcash, they do the same thing, but using bilinear pairings they can get far more performant proof, proof size and verification stats, I believe (but, curvetrees can be very efficient so I'm not 100% sure about the details here). Ring sigs, as I've observed elsewhere, even with the fanciest algorithms, never quite cut it at the verification step to be able to support huge anonymity sets. If you're going to ditch them, you may just as well go with a Zcash style design, no?

Objective data on why it is not a good idea to print money and how during all this time we have lost purchasing power.

- Our parents could afford solid wood furniture, production processes have improved, therefore we should be able to buy the same furniture as our parents, and we are not. This applies to many building materials.
- By extension, it should be the same with housing, now a house is built faster because the production processes have improved and yet our parents had to spend many fewer years to afford it.
- The same applies to vehicles.
- Food has been especially sensitive to this. Many foods that were once considered poor people's foods, such as sardines, are now almost luxury delicacies. Many people can only eat cereal by-products, which is real garbage for the body, and cannot afford meat or fish in the necessary quantities.
- The only thing that has remained more affordable for a while, and even dropped in price, is electronics, because the deflationary advance of its development has been greater than the loss of purchasing power generated by the printing of currency.

Therefore, objectively, the printing of money has only served to impoverish those at the bottom and make those at the top richer, the present concentration of wealth is the greatest ever known from historical series, surpassing the period 1870-1914.

One only has to understand how the CPI works to know how evil Harari's words are. Normally wage increases in all countries are associated with the increase in CPI, this metric is manipulated downward, not reflecting the actual level of inflation, is the great swindle of the system, if this metric was associated with the real level, no one would gain anything and no one would lose anything, for someone to win someone else has to lose. This leads to salaries always lagging behind inflation and to the loss of purchasing power over time. If we distribute all the printed coins equally, nobody wins, everything stays the same, the coins have to be distributed only to a few, the Cantillon effect.

It is not such a far-fetched situation, and the masters of the world would control BTC through KYC.


😂 I honestly hadn't thought of it, but I think it will be a long time without sex, it's an asymmetric risk.


With Liquid introducing USDt and now Lightning Labs doing the same in Lightning Netowrk, sooner or later the weight of the law will fall on these networks, Liquid will be the first to fall since it is a federation operated by companies and with transaction obfuscation (confidential transactions) on top of that.

Lightning Network will fall next, screwing the custody nodes first with KYC like Blink that already offer USD and then the LSP operators.

Meanwhile blockchain transactions on the Bitcoin network will go up for shit like ordinals, stamps and runes, which will make the plebs unable to access the Bitcoin network to execute transactions.

Bitcoin will not have a scaling layer and will not be able to reach everyone, meanwhile the masters of the world will laugh, only they will be able to access bitcoin and protect themselves from monetary debasement.

Indeed the secure elements are closed source, however trezor is developing an open source secure element called tropic.

On the other hand, there is an alternative solution which is the one used by coldcard, with several secure elements, in this case two that do not trust each other.


The robustness of a cryptographic protocol is based on knowing what the algorithm does, making it public and being tested, like a peer review but in real life.

The more times a cryptographic protocol has been tried to be attacked and failed, the more valid it is to be used in production.

Right now there are accusations that the NSA and NIST are hiding the development of new post-quantum cryptographic protocols.

"Daniel Bernstein at the University of Illinois Chicago says that the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is deliberately obscuring the level of involvement the US National Security Agency (NSA) has in developing new encryption standards for “post-quantum cryptography” (PQC). He also believes that NIST has made errors – either accidental or deliberate – in calculations describing the security of the new standards. NIST denies the claims."

“NIST isn’t following procedures designed to stop NSA from weakening PQC,” says Bernstein. “People choosing cryptographic standards should be transparently and verifiably following clear public rules so that we don’t need to worry about their motivations. NIST promised transparency and then claimed it had shown all its work, but that claim simply isn’t true.”

The key here is that NIST will approve them for use in industry, industry will accept them because oh my god, the quantum age has arrived, and they will discard secure algorithms for insecure and poorly tested algorithms, a perfect strategy.

Quantum computing is currently a fallacy just like fusion energy, it is just a public money grabber.

On the other hand, it was recently discovered in the snowden papers that Cavium, which was then one of the main manufacturers of cryptographic coprocessors for VPN devices, had a backdoor introduced by the NSA in its chips, these chips were used for years by most manufacturers such as CISCO.

And some still recommend hardware wallets with secure elements that are closed source 😂.

Robust cryptography can only and only be opensource, you understand? from the beginning to the end.


Yes! Stop using DNS, people.

Two things that we're building:

- There are going to be Cashu mints that will only be reachable via Nostr. They won't have IP addresses but npubs.
- There are going to be Cashu wallets that synchronize state across devices via nostr. No cloud.

Not everyone will like this but it doesn't matter because it can't be stopped.


so it seems 😂


On Nostr only geeks follow me and on Twitter I am only followed by ladies whom I reject.

Whichever way you look at it, I'm screwed.


I totally agree with your words, however, the liquid structure is much safer than having bitcoin in an exchange, even from the point of view of suffering a catastrophe and losing funds is safer liquid than lightning.

You just have to understand the trade-offs and use it as a kind of cache.


Good point, actually Liquid is not very scalable, and transactions take up a lot of space, although it is also true that since there is no consensus it would be very easy to increase the block size.


Don't get so uptight, the only truth is that we are all going to die 😂 , a little humor.

The definition of stablecoin is associated with fiat money as opposed to the volatility of Bitcoin.

L-BTC is an IOU, I agree, and I will never deny it, but if you understand how it works and its risks, it is another scaling solution, I will never say that L-BTC is Bitcoin, LN-BTC for example is Bitcoin.

But from there to say that L-BTC is fiat, I do not think it is fair beyond creating controversy in the same way that it is not a stablecoin.

When a better scaling solution comes out (as I think ARK is) do not doubt that I will use it and stop using worse solutions.


To say that liquid is a stablecoin is quite ignorant.


I like it when people find something that works well for them and understands the risks. Good for you. The haters are gonna hate (hate hate hate hate) but I recommend you shake it off (shake shake shake shake)


Totally agree.


It's funny the world of Bitcoiners, Bitcoiners attack other Bitcoiners for using scalability solutions they don't like.

I don't attack anyone for it, I like Lightning, I like Liquid, I like Fedimint, I like Cashu, just each solution has different use cases.

Post: And I'm liking ARK a lot.

Comparing liquid with fiat is at the very least....


Send 500k sats in phoenix 2000 sats, in Liquid 128 sats.

A great success yes.


Unpopular opinion

I am a user of Lightning, Bitcoin onchain and Liquid.

The routing fees on Ligtning are in some cases becoming horrible, especially on certain LSPs.

Lightning is fine to pay 100 sats, but to pay 100000 sats it already becomes much cheaper Liquid in many cases.

Fuck and it's so easy to use Liquid, no worries about channels, no worries about channel backups, no worries about incoming liquidity. Yes, it is federated and fedimint too, you have to accept certain tradeoffs.

I love Liquid network, I think it is tremendously undervalued.

Yesterday I was playing with ARK on Liquid's testnet, and what a blast.

Without worrying about incoming or outgoing liquidity, just receive and send instantly and also in a totally private way and without leaving a trace in the chain.

There is no link between your incoming l-btc in ark and your outgoing l-btc, in the chain I only see a kind of coinjoins.

Although let's not forget the liquidity problems that the ASPs have and the centralization problem that leads to the fact that the ASP can be accused of money transmitter.

So I searched 'joinmarket' on birdsite and found some interesting discussions.

nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s I want to take issue with something you wrote: "In contrast, the coordinators in samourai/wasabi/joinmarket interact with the other users, creating/sharing psbts, validating info, kicking trolls out, and taking fees".

Note that (and this is common to other of your posts there) you're referring to Joinmarket as a protocol with a coordinator, because the taker is the coordinator for each coinjoin that it wants to do; but please realize that almost every person reading this will not grok the subtlety. To them a coordinator is a static coordinator. Also you say at the end "taking fees" and this is *in no possible way* a correct description of Joinmarket, since even if you treat the taker as "one time coordinator" (correct), they pay fees, they do not take them. Considering the sensitivity of this issue I *really* don't think it's OK to write that, since it's not true.

The whole paragraph *strongly* suggests that Joinmarket uses the same model as the other two, whereas in fact it's almost purely p2p, especially in the recent structure where directory nodes act only as name servers essentially, and peers then negotiate coinjoins over their own ephemeral onion services.

(Taker/maker is not a static role and in fact it's good for people to switch between them).

I don't know, umbrel was very problematic and I stopped using it, besides its license is not opensource like start9 (MIT).


But there is a big difference, Matrix was not created to be private.


The vpn will know the ip you connect to, basically that is the information they will have about you.

If the ip is an electrum server then they will know that you are connecting to an electrum server but nothing more, although that is a lot of information.


Como Umbrel, pero con una arquitectura superior desde mi punto de vista, un producto mejor acabo.


Start9 is a good product, it's good to support developers by buying their hardware, in case you don't have the money it's also good with an old pc, the only requirement is ram.


Start9 includes a simplex server over Tor.

The problem with signal is that of any application running on a third party server, no matter if they publish their code on Github, you will never know what they run on their servers, so it's all a matter of trust.

This is why no intelligence agent will use a VPN over Tor.

And this is why SimpleX is so important, because you decide who is your receiving server to which the sender will connect, as if it were an email server, and setting up a Simplex server costs 5 minutes.

This was in the old days, as I said, nowadays the circuits are constantly renewed. If you open a new tab a new circuit is generated, even in the same web eventually just generating another circuit and you can also renew it from a button.

Tor like any protocol improves with time, and the pow protection that was added a few months ago has drastically reduced ddos attacks.


That's what we know, but how are you sure they don't save the ips? even if you use their VPN, how are you sure they don't save the ips?

I have been saying this for a long time, a private company can never offer privacy, privacy has to be defined in the protocol.


If you use the Tor network no one can know what you are doing, neither can your ISP, only the Tor exit node knows what you are accessing but given Tor's onion layer system, the exit node also does not know where the packets are coming from and therefore who you are.

That said, spy agencies have used statistical methods to try to de-anonymize people behind tor, but to give you an idea, with the first version of tor that only used 3 hops and refused circuits, it took about 3 months to figure out a possible target, now tor changes circuits constantly including making 6 hops on certain occasions.


You will never be able to verify if the VPN provider is telling the truth, because you think Tor was invented? and even so, Tor is not perfect.


Proton will log your VPN, you can never trust a VPN provider, they have to comply with legislation.


Have your own server behind tor.


And you're going to tell me what I can and can't say, asshole.


Metadata is not encrypted and metadata tells a lot for example if you send emails with Hunter Biden or Putin 😂 .


Once again it is shown that a company cannot offer privacy.

Neither VPNs nor these email providers are of any use, because even if your emails are encrypted, the metadata is not.

How the sheeple cannot understand that the whole point of "hate speech" laws is to prevent the masses from criticizing the plans of the elites really blows my mind.

Don't be racist they say, as they import millions of people BASED ON THEIR RACE and AGAINST THE WILL OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE.

So they can select an attribute, race, and sow discord by importing millions, but YOU cannot point out that people from that race are commiting a very disproportionate amount of crimes.

If you wanted to be extra cynical, you could even say this very attribute was selected as a backdoor because of Europe's past (WW2) as they know the people of Europe are sensitive to the topic.

All I know for sure is that the politicians who have expedited the invasion are traitors, they hate the native populations (so basically they are racist, they accuse us all of what they are), and they want to sow chaos and misery for their own ends.

One day the people will wake up, and it won't be pretty.

Night reflections

Europe is lost and so is the United States, although in different ways.

I do not know the motive of the elites to provoke this fall of both countries through totally uncontrolled immigration, I am just a bald man behind a keyboard, but I am very sad about what is happening in Europe. The violence is getting higher and higher, most of the illegal immigrants coming to Europe have records in their countries, it seems something totally orchestrated, good people stay in their countries, they don't come to Europe to commit crimes.

And the funniest thing is that they are totally unpunished before the law. Without going any further, there are already several men tried and imprisoned in my country for defending themselves against vile robberies in their homes, by people who had more than 50 criminal records.

In Europe there is no self-defense, you cannot defend your home, what is the meaning of life then?

Sincerely I do not understand anything, Europeans are made to comply with the law to the letter, and those from outside totally unpunished.

If I can give you some advice, it is to arm yourselves, because this is getting worse.

Privacy at layer 2 as long as privacy cannot be implemented at layer 1.


Totally agree, with 100 sat/vB rates most coinjoins are no longer profitable, adoption will bring high chain rates.


Looks like Bolt12 picks up traction, my favorite feature is Blinded Paths:

“This is supported in both onion and paid messages. It means that the sender does not know where the message is going, but includes encrypted blobs given in the onion message. This is used, for example, in onion message replies. It also allows offers to avoid revealing the sender's node id, if they wish. “

Since you can run your own Lightning node and won't have to rely on a third party (ARK ASP) to safeguard your privacy, Lightning Network wins big in terms of the ultimate privacy solution.

However ARK has two big advantages:

- Asynchronous payment.
- No worries about incoming liquidity.

Very interesting timing.

My missus has been branching out finding new friends but spent the afternoon with 3 of her old friend group.

Two 7s and an 8 - all very eligible girls.

All 3 of them single.

One of the 7s recently so - she’d been dating a fella for 2-3 months and he found out she was still on Tinder so he split. Her excuse was that they weren’t committed/engaged so he shouldn’t have had a problem - the other 2 girls agreed.

All 3 of them have ridiculously high expectations of what they want in a man. Basically nothing less than a multimillionaire rich guy with a sweet car and a six pack who will take her on regular holidays on a yacht.

These girls are broken. There are 9s and 10s coming up behind them who might actually snag this level of man, the handful of them that exist; these 7s and 8s who aren’t spring chickens any more are simply living a fantasy.

They only talk about what they want and have very little concept of what they can offer in a relationship.

I know there are plenty of broken fellas, expecting girls to behave like pornstars and put up with their adolescent behaviour - this is not some one-sided problem.

But this problem is unhealthy for all of us. Society’s stability is based on people pairing up, having children, and trying to produce value so they can create a better world for their offspring.

The whole thing breaks down when the pairing stops. I think a lot of the social issues we see around us are downstream of this point. It explains why statism is at all time highs. Why people buy in to existential crises like climate cultism or Covid. And why populism has returned.

The older I get the better I understand why religion has been so important to humanity; that institution is what anchored this part of the social order in every society for centuries and it’s absence is now acutely felt.

I hope those girls find a man, a suitable partner, and that we all benefit from them contributing to the extended order but man I really think this generation is going to have a big miss.

#taxvolcanos


It is unacceptable all the CO2 and SO2 emitted by the Ruang volcano in Indonesia, a tax on volcanoes should be introduced.

All the studies on co2 increase are paid for by government sources so I don't believe any of them.

They are sure that human activity has little impact on the increase in co2 levels and that most of the co2 comes from volcanoes and the weathering of rocks which are a major source of co2.

Also historically the increase in co2 has been accompanied by increased volcanic activity and in some cases a single eruption of a volcano in just hours has already emitted more co2 than all the human activity of a year.

So that's why I think volcanoes should be taxed.

Because I am a Bitcoiner.

I have dedicated all my life to computer science and the investment world. I have always had a lot of intellectual curiosity about any subject, which led me to read a lot about Austrian economics, I soon understood that the system was a scam, but at that time there was no Bitcoin.

I lived at first the birth of Bitcoin, but I did not pay much attention to it, I thought it would not be successful, electronic money, that is hackable I thought.

Soon after, some events happened that marked my destiny forever, I lost what I loved most by negligence of the system, I was helpless and alone, after this being in absolute shit, the system attacked me again and tried to steal what was mine.

After years of litigation I won, but I never got a pardon, I was never compensated nor did I recover the losses that the whole process caused me.

All this process was accompanied by a deep depression, I abandoned everything, friends, family, hobbies, but I never abandoned the desire for revenge and the desire to learn, and in those moments of shit a light went on, Bitcoin embraced me.

After 4 years of fighting alone against myself, without medication, without help, I could get out of depression, I could get out of that shit hole, but I came out much stronger, I was no longer the same person, and also someone accompanied me throughout the process, Bitcoin.

I think that fucking algorithm helped me more than anything else in the world, it made me understand many things, it made me understand that at the end of everything, you are the master of your destiny, never expect help from anyone, always check, never trust, and it also made me be patient, perseverant and hardened me. It made me become a man, a man has the obligation to defend his own, a man must endure the blows and has the obligation to stand up and fight, until the last day.

I have never been one to tell my intimacies, but I am a Bitcoiner and I will die a Bitcoiner, this is my story and it will be written here forever.

And maybe this story will be useful for times of adversity like the ones we are living, fuck the system, the system will not help you, in the worst case the system will kill you, fight with all your soul against it.

Show me deterministic links of a well used Joinmarket.

I am aware that the problem with Joinmarket is that it is not for newbies and you have to take many things into account, but that doesn't make it a bad tool, time has proven that.


Joinmarket does not exist for mobile devices.

As for coinjoins on Nostr it is called Joinstr and it is very promising as it will be cheaper than Joinmarket.

In Joinmarket if you initiate the coinjoin, you pay all the transaction fees of all the members you decide to put, for example 10 members, and coinjoin transactions are expensive because they use a lot of block space.

In Joinstr the cost is shared among all participants.


Do you know how sad it has been to deal all these years with the endless discussions about the toxic change in coinjoins when in Joinmarket this was more than solved?

In joinmarket you can mix with any amount you want without leaving any toxic change.

I think that fucking algorithm helped me more than anything else in the world, it made me understand many things, it made me understand that at the end of everything, you are the master of your destiny, never expect help from anyone, always check, never trust, and it also made me be patient, perseverant and hardened me. It made me become a man, a man has the obligation to defend his own, a man must endure the blows and has the obligation to stand up and fight, until the last day.

I have never been one to tell my intimacies, but I am a Bitcoiner and I will die a Bitcoiner, this is my story and it will be written here forever.

And maybe this story will be useful for times of adversity like the ones we are living, fuck the system, the system will not help you, in the worst case the system will kill you, fight with all your soul against it.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the work you are doing! 🙏


- There is a very secret v2 design in the making that greatly solves the liquidity issue. This would make Ark more efficient, if not as efficient as Lightning.

- One can form a geographically distributed ASP federation with hundreds of members. This would aggregate liquidity in once place and make ASPs less prone to regulatory attacks.


Totally agree, it should be the model to follow.

Yes, today is an ARK-themed day.

My doubts about the protocol come from two specific points:

- The liquidity of the ASP, an ASP needs a lot of liquidity to be able to carry out transactions.

- The legal implications of executing an ASP.

What do you think about this? nostr:npub18aq8s3z9xl87e74twfk93mljxq6alv4a79yheadx33t9np4g2wkqrtmask


What is Ark?

Ark is a promising second-layer solution for Bitcoin that improves the scalability and privacy of the network. It offers the following benefits:

    No incoming liquidity required: Receivers can accept payments without having to worry about having enough funds in their wallets.
    Confidential payments: Ark protects the confidentiality of recipients, which is not always possible with other second-layer solutions.
    Scalable: Ark is a solution for enabling the scalability of Bitcoin and applications and services which utilize the Bitcoin infrastructure.
    Secure: Ark is a secure solution that is built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain.


That's not an ark address, that's a lightning invoice.

The devil knows more for an old man than for a devil.

I'm glad my recommendations are coming to fruition, here 3 of the ones that have ended up settling down over time.

- Simplex
- Start9
- Joinmarket

Simplex over any existing messaging app for several reasons, the first one does not use phone numbers or identities, and very important, decentralized, and you can set up your own server in 5 minutes.

Start9 for being an easy, simple and clean solution, a very well finished and robust product. I manage a lot of projects and I don't feel like wasting time setting up the basics, in the same way that I run away from linux distributions like gentoo, I don't like having to do the whole process manually, it's fine for a newbie, I haven't had to prove anything to myself for a long time 😂.

Joinmarket because centralized coordinators have never been a solution, in just one week your whole world of centralized coordinators has collapsed, and the nonsense I had to put up with from the Samourai cultists.

Now I am looking forward to the arrival of Joinstr and ARK, do not doubt that I will be the first to test it and report, I hope to get it right, as always 😂.

This last one is a joke, I am wrong many times, look if I was wrong that I decided to abandon the fiat world for Bitcoin and now I am bald from headaches.

FWIW there have been a number of thoughts over the years in this general area. I came up with SNICKER in 2017, there's a draft BIP on my gist (AdamISZ), not sure why it was never assigned a number. I actually even implemented it in Joinmarket and the code is still there. SNICKER was the simplest way you could do a coinjoin non-interactively (post encrypted proposals, encrypted to an onchain address pubkey; works better with taproot but can work anyway), this way proposer puts the encrypted blob on a bulletin board half-signed and the receiver can decrypt and broadcast it if they choose. Realistically only 2 party so a very limited model but imho still interesting.

Earlier than that people had ideas around SIGHASH_SINGLE|ACP ... but then always gave up on that because of the index/positioning limitations of *SINGLE.

Somewhat later in 2018 a group of us in London brainstormed around ideas like "stuff floats in the mempool and gets coordinated, perhaps with miner involvement" but it hasn't got anywhere yet. In that same meeting we came up with payjoin (well that was my name; others called in P2endpoint, which is a slightly different idea), not actually novel but just tried to pin down more exactly how it could work. that is also in Joinmarket btw, as well as btcpayserver. Nowadays Dan Gould has worked on a different aspect/version of that idea, which is great. But I still like SNICKER's pure non-interactivity.

When it comes to your thoughts around covenants, I agree. I tried to make case in the last Adopting Bitcoin that we need to understand that that extra bit of power in scripting is going to be needed to make actual steps forward in scalability and privacy, in other words it's not because we want evm style smart contracting, it's because we want bitcoin to actually work as money, and that means it needs both scale and privacy, which will come from offchain contracting (though a little onchain contracting, coinjoin style,  will imo always be needed too, for larger entities).

So yeah being able to constrain spending destinations as a way to reduce the coordination requirement of a coinjoin is quite a neat thought, i don't remember offhand if anyone has pursued that yet; it's probably not simple!

Lastly I'd say nothingmuch has been having some of the most interesting ideas about coinjoin coordination recently, but not sure if he's active here nowadays.

If they really introduce decentralized IDs, can I just inscribe a scan of my hairy butt instead?

#asknostr


Microstrategy's Orange Decentralized Identity (DID:BTC) project is basically DID:ION, but it stores changes to the DID Document JSON as an OP_RETURN in the blockchain itself instead of on IPFS.

There is a coding scheme to declare changes to existing JSONs and store them as new spend transactions. The DID:BTC:<address> references the creation event. To reassemble the complete document, follow all spends and apply each change to the DID Document as specified.

It's cool that it is decentralized, but this is like Ordinals. The use of the chain for every change can be quite data-heavy.

The funniest thing is Microstrategy demonstrating the use of DIDs to sign regular e-mails. Once you use DIDs to sign/verify, you can use any other DID method, including DID:NOSTR or DID:MYCOMPANY. They are all equally "decentralized". :)

What Saylor clearly doesn't understand is that DIDs are already decentralized by definition. Adding a blockchain method doesn't make it more decentralized. The user's choice of method is the decentralization feature (like choosing which relays you want to use).

Technical indicators and all that bullshit from traders is useless, what is useful is to understand Bitcoin and Bitcoin is a proxy for global liquidity, it was designed for it, it is a punishment to money printing.

The formula is summarized in:

- Increased liquidity = Increased Bitcoin price.
- Decrease in liquidity = Decrease in Bitcoin price.

There is another very important variable which is adoption, but in the short medium term the most important thing for price variations is liquidity.

For good privacy you need coinjoin, as the opening and closing of channels gives a lot of information.

Exactly, although there are certain heuristics that can be used to de-anonymize, such as searching for liquidity between channels if they are large payments, or time analysis, but it is certainly very difficult, and if you also use features such as mmp or amp (zeus has them) it is practically impossible to follow the trace.


Regarding the announcement that Coinbase accepts payments in Lightning...When they find out that routed Lightning payments are private and that you can slip them coins from crimes or coinjoins...without them knowing...it won't last long.... 😂


Climate change is one of the biggest hoaxes ever created, with the sole purpose of collecting more taxes and increasing social control.

However, there are other environmental factors that directly affect our planet, and that on the contrary do not receive enough attention, simply because our politicians do not give a shit, most of them have never even gone hiking or climbed a mountain or been in contact with nature.

These factors are:

- The indiscriminate use of plastics, especially in food, which affect both the ecosystem in the form of waste, and people's health by affecting the endocrine system and also by being potentially carcinogenic.

- Environmental pollution by chemicals, both chemicals generated or used in industrial processes and chemicals used in agriculture, such as herbicides or insecticides.

-The reduction of biodiversity, generated both by the two aforementioned factors and by the direct action of man by destroying ecosystems and poaching.

But as I say, this does not matter, it is more important the co2, the gas of life.


This is a great technical explanation on the various methods and functions of Nostr's DM capabilities and why developers seem to be often working on improving them. The current evolution is exciting and should solve all previous pain points. Fingers crossed.

Methods to obtain privacy in Bitcoin:

- Joinmarket (decentralized Coinjoin).
- Payments with Lightning (payments through routing are totally anonymous, good method for example to put bitcoins coming from coinjoins in exchanges, you must open a private channel with a good node and through this route to the exchange).
- Liquid Pegouts with sideswap (it is like a swap and you break traceability)
- Bolts (swaps between chains and you also lose traceability)
- Joinstr (Coinjoin through Nostr, soon to be released on the mainnet).
- Mercury Layer (Coinswaps, soon to be released as well).
- Bitcoin Teleport (decentralized Coinswaps with an architecture of makers and takers similar to joinmarket).

With simplex you can set up your own server, that alone is a great advantage.


1 Repudiation in SimpleX Chat will include client-server protocol from v5.7 or v5.8. Currently it is implemented but not enabled yet, as its support requires releasing the relay protocol that breaks backward compatibility.

2 Post-quantum cryptography is available in beta version, as opt-in only for direct conversations. See below how it will be rolled-out further.

Some columns are marked with a yellow checkmark:

when messages are padded, but not to a fixed size.
when repudiation does not include client-server connection. In case of Cwtch it appears that the presence of cryptographic signatures compromises repudiation (deniability), but it needs to be clarified.
when 2-factor key exchange is optional (via security code verification).
when post-quantum cryptography is only added to the initial key agreement and does not protect break-in recovery.

En España ya no existen patriotas, los patriotas aman su tierra, los políticos no aman a su tierra porque la dañan, la golpean, la marchitan, la destruyen y vosotros ciudadanos habéis sido cómplices de este sacrilegio.

Y os llamo ciudadano porque es lo que sois, ciudadanos de un estado corrupto, e igual de responsables que los políticos. Los patriotas no necesitan sentirse ni catalanes, ni españoles ni vascos, los patriotas se siente de su casa, de su padre, de su madre, de sus hermanos, y sobre todo de sus hijos, porque un patriota por encima de todo defiende a sus hijos, cosas que vosotros lacayos demócratas no estáis haciendo.

Un país endeudado, sin futuro alguno para los jóvenes, con una inmigración ilegal descontrolada e índices de criminalidad disparados, y de lo único que os preocupas es de la dicotomía izquierda derecha y de cobrar vuestra pensión a costa de los jóvenes.

I'm freaking out a bit at the complacency of some Bitcoiners.

Let's be clear, a coinjoin coordinator facilitates actions that governments consider illegal, true or false? this is yes or no, don't give me transmission stories and bullshit.

And if the system considers Bitcoin money, money has to be traceable (except for the masters of the system), this is so with Fiat money and it has to be so with Bitcoin if the system considers it money.

I do not say that this is fair or not, I just apply the logic of the system, the rest of the theories of the frying pan, the network cable and other nonsense are just excuses for complacency.

The state is not your friend, you will not be able to reason with it, the state is your main enemy.

It was more than obvious that they were going to screw the centralized coordinators. Let's play with what has worked so far, decentralized solutions made by anonymous people, that's all.


I have a question for nostr content creators. Why do you talk about decentralisation and growing nostr only to then drop your YT links bouncing user from nostr to YT. If you care about the growth of nostr then upload your content to nostr and share it natively without bouncing users or expecting them to have a YT, Instagram, Twitch, TikTok account.

As a maker you only allow your bitcoins to participate in collaborative transactions, but these bitcoins never leave your private keys, joinmarket is a non-custodial coinjoin system.

The fact that you participate in a collaborative transaction does not mean that you have to give up custody of your funds.

If at any time the coinjoin is interrupted you get all your funds back.

I encourage you all to fight.

Have they been able to close eMule or Bitorrent? No because they are p2p protocols. In the same way, neither could they close bitcoin or lightning because they are p2p protocols.

They will go after you if they know who you are, obviously if you are a registered company they have it easy.

They want to control bitcoin through KYC, they also want to control the on and off ramps.

Nobody ever said this was easy, ETFs were the first trap, it's all part of the plan.

What is left for you to do? fight and create an alternative economy to the FIAT currency because bitcoin will continue to increase in value by the simple fact that the Fiat system will try to take over as many Bitcoins as possible through the ETFs, through the banks themselves that will end up buying Bitcoin directly or indirectly and even through the central banks.

Don't look at the finger, look at the moon, don't fall into the trap of fear, try to live outside the state, there is no other friend.

the bitcons that are mixed with joinmarket are collaborative transactions, there is no hot wallet, you always keep possession of your bitcoins just like whirpool or wasabi, only joinmarket is decentralized, there is no central entity behind it, it can't be shut down.


They are decentralized, there is no central entity behind them.


No, not at all, it is not my intention, it is simply an observation, there is fear 😢


Wow, accounts disappearing from twitter...devs?


About Liquid, Cashu and Fedimint.

As you may know I have recommended the use of these solutions to gain privacy, especially Liquid versus the expensive and inefficient coinjoin, but this does not mean that I am not aware of the risks.

My point of view is strictly pragmatic, I use these solutions for my own benefit being aware of the risks.

The example to follow is eMule, which in many ways I have always considered the precursor of Bitcoin. eMule has been around for more than 25 years and has not been able to close down, why?

- Open source
- Distributed

Any layer that is applied to Bitcoin to gain privacy and be able to resist state censorship will have to be.

- Open source
- Distributed
- Its creators must be anonymous.

All centralized and federated solutions will be closed and if their creators are known, they will be jailed unless it is a honeypot. In the same way for decentralized solutions, if their creators are not anonymous, they will also be imprisoned.

You have already seen with Samourai that for the USA there are no jurisdictions, wherever you are from you will be arrested, so both Liquid, as Cashu, as Fedimint are temporary solutions that will end up closed in one way or another.

If you can use them to your benefit then use them, but be aware, I hope that now you understand my defense of Joinmarket against other alternatives and my hope with Joinstr.


Strength, friends.

Yes, now more than ever we must team up.


Bitcoin war just started …

Decentralized Coinjoins.

https://jamapp.org/ I guess many of you know it, it is the graphical interface to use Joinmarket. On the other hand https://joinstr.xyz/ is another way to make coinjoins in a decentralized way and using Nostr as a communication and coordination layer, this last one is still in the testing phase. We must stand up to the system, coinjoin is not a crime, now more than ever we must continue using Bitcoin, and mixing.


The State has invariably shown a striking talent for the expansion of its powers beyond any limits that might be imposed upon it. Since the State necessarily lives by the compulsory confiscation of private capital, and since its expansion necessarily involves ever-greater incursions on private individuals and private enterprise, we must assert that the State is profoundly and inherently anticapitalist.

Totally agree sir


There is actually something new in this statement from the FBI:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/fbi-warns-americans-against-using-non-kyc-crypto-money-transmitting-services

If you actually read the second and third paragraphs, they are quite explicitly telling you that the primary risk is that *they themselves* are going to steal your money.

So by 'something new' I mean that this is the first time you are explicitly being threatened with confiscation. It would not be surprising if this is the start of a trend, but, who knows.


Continuing to use Bitcoin, continue to use decentralized solutions such as Joinmarket and soon Joinstr for privacy, and above all courage.


Very good point on jurisdictional arbitration, although I am pessimistic in that aspect, in the same way that with the COVID scam practically all the states of the world moved at the same time as if they were synchronized by an entity that controlled them all, I believe that in this case the same thing will happen.

The printing of fiat money is a fundamental part of the budget of the states, the states are not going to give up this, and Bitcoin attacks their floating point, they will try to control Bitcoin through KYC and it will be globally, without exceptions I am afraid.


Not long ago it was the Tornado Cash case but that was on Ethereum and largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners. Then it was the Bitcoin Fog case but that was custodial and again largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners.

To some, the trajectory has been clear for several years. Often times those warning of real and present dangers are met with skepticism and dismissed as FUDsters.

Yesterday it was Samourai Wallet, a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet with the ability to coordinate CoinJoins. If you brushed off Tornado Cash & Bitcoin Fog, don't make the same mistake this time.

The language used by the FBI is so broad and generalized in their PSA and their recent actions have been so over-reaching that it should now be crystal clear to any Bitcoiner that any Bitcoin wallet project not implementing KYC measures runs the risk of having the developers arrested for operating an unlicensed Money Services Business. Node projects and miners are not far behind.

The entire pretext to this narrative is false because Bitcoin is software, software is code, code is speech, and freedom of speech is a God-given right. Ask yourself, where do you draw the line? What rights are you willing to defend? And if push came to shove, how far are you willing to go to defend those rights?

"Give me liberty or give me death" are not hollow words because a life without liberty is not a life worth living. Many have already made the ultimate sacrifices and many more will follow in their foot steps. Every dialogue consists of a call and a response and right now the FBI is having a one-sided conversation. Make a stand and respond loudly and clearly that the erosion ends now.

Everything actionable you need to know about what this indictment means for you as a Samourai Wallet (SW) or Whirlpool user 👇

As a Samourai Wallet user (no Dojo)

Unfortunately, the architecture of SW meant that your xpub (a master public key, allowing anyone holding it to derive all your past/present/future Bitcoin addresses) was at some point in time held by Samourai, and could now possible in the hands of the DOJ.

Though it's a worst-case scenario, you should assume that your xpub was compromised, and thus all previous mixes you have done have been unwound and are now traceable. You should also assume that the gov can now derive all past/present/future addresses of yours and track movement of funds if so desired.

In addition, Samourai's coordinator and backend sync server was seized, and so SW will no longer sync, show received funds, or allow sending funds out. As such, you have to migrate funds to another wallet like @SparrowWallet following the docs here:

https://docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore-recovery#export-to-external-wallet

In addition, I would recommend migrating funds to a new seed phrase to prevent anyone holding the xpub from seeing all future received/spent funds.

You should also disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed.

As a Samourai Wallet user (using your own Dojo)

Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo users xpubs were compromised.

You will still be able to sync/send/receive from your Samourai Wallet app, but should also migrate funds eventually as no further updates will come out for Samourai Wallet. If you want to migrate, use the docs below:

https://docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore-recovery#export-to-external-wallet

You should, however, disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed.

As a Sparrow Wallet user

Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised as well. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo/Sparrow users xpubs were compromised.

There is no real need to rotate to a new wallet etc, and Sparrow is still an excellent option. Unfortunately you will no longer be able to mix in Sparrow as the Samourai coordinator was seized.

Next steps for privacy

If you (like me) relied on Samourai Wallet for privacy on Bitcoin, it's time to look elsewhere sadly. As of today I have two recommendations:

Use Monero for spending, keep using Bitcoin for savings

Yes, this isn't Bitcoin, but its by far the most used and most practical privacy coin out there with strong (and growing) ways to swap in/out of it without a centralized, KYC exchange. My recommendation is buying enough to cover your normal spending of Bitcoin for a month at least, and spend out of that lump sum as needed.

Learn more:

getmonero.org

Where to get Monero:

bisq.network
Trocador.app
In Cake Wallet's exchange feature

Wallets:

Feather Wallet
Cake Wallet
Monerujo Wallet

Merchants that accept Monero:

monerica.com

cryptwerk.com/pay-with/xmr/

Use JoinMarket

JoinMarket is a decentralized Coinjoin protocol that brings together peers to mix funds together, gaining strong privacy without relying on a central coordinator, without giving fees to a central entity, etc.

The best way to get started today is using the new UI built around JoinMarket, @jamapporg:

jamapp.org

What is this influx of new users to Nostr? Bots?

A MUST WATCH

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsplLiZHbj0


I understand your point, but in my case I only want liquid to anonymize bitcoins and at most have a small cache in cases of high fees to be able to continue managing my LN channels.


As an explanatory note of why the traceability with sideswap is broken (because some have asked) when performing peg-in and peg-out is because they use a temporary hot wallet, therefore when performing peg-in there is no link between your btc and the l-btc issued and the same happens when performing peg-out.

If you exceed the amount of the temporary wallet you will know it because you will get 102 confirmations instead of 2 and in the same way when performing the peg-out the time will be longer than two confirmations, between 20 and 60 minutes.

You will know all this before confirming the transaction and you can check it in the liquid mempool to make sure there is no linkage.
