DIY hackable” and only “source available” 🥲

So what dev in their right mind will write and publish code/firmware for this locked behind a restrictive, source-available license? Do they expect someone else to make actual FOSS firmware?

Someone explain this paradox to me.

“Make it anything you want, you just can’t sell or monetize it in any way, ever”

I just… how is any of this in the spirit of Bitcoin or even simply encouraging proper innovation and a flourishing of ideas.

Pretty sure this is where Coinkite realizes the “find out” part of fucking around with restrictive, “source available” licenses instead of doing the right thing and actually leaning into freedom tech. https://image.nostr.build/5ad2b59441b492fc36c241a22accb7c4b2a755c24be9b213c9b832aa7844680a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/208ad807ad130c7d7250b404567e43083ea1adf8952007607760147f34dc9d44.jpg


I'm working on improving routing on Coracle, and ran into the issue of deep-linking creating attack vectors for malicious links. To a certain extent, this is unavoidable, people can always direct someone to a bad event or link unless there's no navigation at all.

I'm more concerned about attackers being able to inject a malicious relay into Coracle, for example https://coracle.social/notes?relays=wss://my-evil-relay.com in order to phish someone's pubkey and correlate their identity.

How bad is this? I'm inclined to leave relay deep-linking out. But then relays are a resource in their own right, so I don't know if it's possible. Maybe ask for user approval before connecting to any relay not in their own relay list? This would cover malicious relay injection via NIP 65 as well.

Did an interview with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s today regarding Nostr and Damus.

It was freaking great!

#Bitcoin is a political movement, not necessarily partisan, that proposes an alternative system to the dominant system of the last few decades. This proposal grants citizens sovereignty and freedom.

For the first time in many years, citizens can protect themselves from poor economic decisions made by a handful of people who control power.

Today, workers can choose Bitcoin as their currency and preserve the value of what they have earned through their work and effort. Today, we have another option.

Those who control power know what they are doing very well. They understand that monetary issuance benefits them and disadvantages the entire population. They will not stop doing it willingly, and they will not stop doing it forcefully either because they hold a monopoly on weapons.

For the first time in our modern history, citizens have a means to carry out a non-violent revolution without shedding a single drop of blood.

Bitcoin enables us to pursue a peaceful revolution and prevent those in power from using government money as a political tool for their own gain.

Bitcoin is freedom.

#[0]  is there a small hope to work you?


Software users are always the same. Few people have a good ( not deep ) understanding on how things really work and how much is complicated to run a good piece of sw in any kind of application. Average user are stupid, no doubt about that.
Devs and company created an army of idiot users with gui coming out to every product because they need to sell product and attract more people, I am not saying that is bad at all. It's just a profit point of view. But if I try to imagine how many people will be using internet if you have to CLI a TCP handshake with a server? Fewer...much fewer, but for sure much high quality users,that's it. Giving every kind of things to all will create a decrease in the quality of that subject, I see this in everything: instruction, books, sw app, television...

My sad point of view is this. I am sure that a gopher user was a smart user than a facebook user.

It's not about changing the code.
Changing the code is trivial.

#Bitcoin is and always was free and open-source software. Anyone can change the code.

Today we released the first version of Mostro and Mostro-cli which is the first Mostro client, developers and early adopters can start playing with it, we have a dockerized relay that can be used to test it easily.

If you want to help just test it and let us know how to make it better, we are getting there.

Special mention to  #[0] who is making the project get better everyday.

I have a serious question about #Bitcoin , what's stopping some idiot (not even evil, just idiot) uploads child porn as an ordinal to the Blockchain and automatically transform every node owner and miner in someone who owns and shares this content?

What would be the explanation once the "bitcoin is bad for environment" people heard about it?


Security o commodity?
Dopo le parole del presidente della SEC - che definisce le "cripto" security con la sola eccezione di #Bitcoin - il dibattito sulla natura di Bitcoin e cripto si è riacceso. Dove sta la verità?

We added Nostr support to #[0]

Whenever an offer is taken lnp2pbot could post an ephemeral event to Nostr and anyone would be able to build their own notification system subscribing these events.

try this new commands.

/setnpub - to set the user's nostr public key. Bot would only broadcast to Nostr if the user has a npub set.
/npub - to retrieve the bot's public key.

Good morning nostr!


Iris Desktop is here! No more dependency on Iris.to domain name, hosting provider or internet access. This version doesn't have the autoupdater, so I can't even push broken versions.

Macos, Windows and Ubuntu versions available. They're built by Github CI, so they're unsigned for now. You'll have to override the "unidentified developer" warnings. Mac instructions: https://www.macworld.com/article/672947/how-to-open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer.html

For those who have been asking about the development status on Mostro, we have a very early but operational version, it needs more work before use it on production.

Here you can watch a 5 minutes demo on how interact with Mostro with mostro-cli which is the first Mostro client, GUI clients will follow, if you want to start working on a GUI client just let me know and we can work together.

Such hard!


Let's see if I can see me


Can you feel mostro.network coming?


Maybe Zap to #[2] ??? 😉


Damus has a couple different options depending on what you want to do:

0. Zap type "public" where everyone sees that you zapped them

1. Zap type "private" which are zaps sent with an encrypted message that can only be seen by the person you zap. No one else can see that you zapped them.

2. Zap type "anonymous" where no one can see that you zapped them but is counted towards the zaps on a given post

3. Zap type "none" which is just a lightning payment, no zap metadata at all


Am I alive?

It was a long time that, as embedded developer, I didn't feel so good! Really great to work also on small parts of this new era! Thank you all for what you are doing!

Thanks to #[0]  for letting me help on mostro.network, such motivating also if my contribute is small!

This is a new era...stay humble, honest and stack sats!

Bitcoin Transaction Fees and UTXO Management
-------------------------

- when bitcoin blocks are full, highest fee transactions are confirmed first
- pending transactions sit in node mempools awaiting confirmation: can conceptualize mempools as a line to enter a restaurant sorted by who is willing to pay the most
- your bitcoin wallet may show a single balance but the reality is that it is made of many different unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs)
- when you make a bitcoin transaction your wallet will select as many UTXOs as necessary to reach the amount of bitcoin you wish to send
- onchain transaction fees are calculated based on size in bytes not the amount of sats sent
- the more utxos required on the input side the higher the fee paid
- from a cost perspective you want to consolidate utxos, fewer utxos with larger amounts
- consolidation has privacy tradeoffs though: you link any UTXOs you consolidate as owned by the same person + larger UTXOs mean you will dox more of your stack to anyone you pay in the future

Therefore you want to reduce the number of UTXOs you have while being mindful of the privacy concerns.

Lightning Transaction fees are calculated differently: based on the amount in sats sent. Opening lightning channels when fees are low can enable you to save money in the future when fees rise. 🤙
