I heard this was a specific request from nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy


What did #[2] do this time


The zap functionality in new btcpay works great


If you need to shitcoin, use #[4]


I don’t use custodial zaps. I run my own node. But the channels auto closed for some reason.

Probably the LND bug I’ve heard #[3] talk about.


Have you tried out #[5]‘s Stack Duo? You might like it.


Used it for the first time in a while yesterday. The UX is really quite good.


This is the year we turn OpenSats into an absolute juggernaut and force for good in this world.

We are a 501c3 100% pass through non profit. You can receive a tax credit for your donations or donate anonymously with bitcoin. 100% pass through means we do not take a cut of donations. https://opensats.org/

Same. I need to make a trip up there.


Big shout out to #[0] for what is to me unquestionably the best public discussion yet about the (potential, and .. actual) evils of chain analysis:

https://www.podpage.com/citadeldispatch/cd100-the-disturbing-chainalysis-led-prosecution-of-roman-sterlingov-with-mike-hassard-and-tor-ekeland/

Seriously, get past the bad audio and listen to the whole thing. This bitcoinfog case is incredible. If you didn't previously understand the mechanics, and how seriously bitcoin surveillance software is being misused in the legal system, this will educate you.

Btw #[1] I know you've done a lot of investigative work in this area, would love to hear your thoughts on it.

An important nuance on the technicals: remember there is a difference between efficacy for *investigation* and the ability to prove something. Bitcoin's basic privacy is shitty specifically in that it can allow the former .. but not the latter.


Citadel Dispatch 100: The Disturbing Chainalysis Led Prosecution of Roman Sterlingov with Mike Hassard and Tor Ekeland

BLOCK: 785120
PRICE: 3342 sats per dollar
TOPICS: broken probability analysis from Chainalysis could be used to falsely incriminate any bitcoiner

LMFAO 😂😂😂


That’s cool, didn’t know that


Still can’t believe Marty Bent the knee.


PATRIOT ACT 2.0
-------------

$1M Fine and Up To 20 Years in Prison❗❗❗

The RESTRICT Act, introduced by Senators Warner and Thune, aims to block or disrupt transactions and financial holdings involving foreign adversaries that pose risks to national security. Although the primary targets of this legislation are companies like Tik-Tok, the language of the bill could potentially be used to block or disrupt cryptocurrency transactions and, in extreme cases, block Americans’ access to open source tools or protocols like Bitcoin.

The Act creates a redundant regime paralleling OFAC without clear justification, it significantly limits the ability for injured parties to challenge actions raising due process concerns, and unlike OFAC it lacks any carve-out for protected speech.

For real? That's insane.


Have you tried nostr.build?


lol wow, whoever did has plenty of corn to spare, spent from a 19 BTC utxo: https://mempool.space/tx/8330bcedaa212a048dcd7b0dfea51bd09f8f427f7077c4cb1f1a801555533c7d


Really not a better way to easily get lots of donations in a fully self-custodial way. But I'm with you completely.

Seems likely


BlueWallet is coming out with it soonish supposedly.

I find it hilarious that a shitcoin wallet beat BlueWallet to the punch. Especially since BW have talked about integrating it since a few years back, and Stack Wallet started developing it for their wallet it only a few months ago.

I've been liking Stack Wallet so far. The devs are receptive to feedback and actually ship code.


Sparrow is the best and there is no second best.


Hopefully Nunchuk iOS is open sourced. It’s fully closed source (not even source viewable) at the moment.


Will Marty ever call peak clown world again?

Wen deleted posts #[4] ? Lol


High percentage of **custodial LN users on Nostr


A discussion around the high percentage of non-custodial LN users on Nostr (due to zaps) and what can we do to get more of them to become self-sovereign LN users.


Ok now I regret not reading Mandibles yet (I do have a copy sitting in my living room)


I'm under no illusions that doing LN 'properly' isn't easy, and everyone will take the easy first steps. Sadly there's many seasoned bitcoiners all too comfortable using and promoting custodial solutions.


Great article by #[0]

Didn’t they clear earlier this morning?

nostr is similar to bitcoin in that we do not need to convince people to use it

they will realize they need a censorship resistant communication protocol eventually

just need to have the tools and education ready for them when they do


A 250K sat bounty was just posted for BTCPay server to implement NIP-57 Zaps.

https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/discussions/4642#discussioncomment-5057698


💯 thankful for my homies at thebtcco


Weird. It’s gone now for me too


Thanks!


Best part about Nostr is no way of deleting posts and hiding the lies (for now)


Loving the shitting on Stacks lol


Flying the UFOs probably


Truly a breathe of fresh air


It’s… perfect


You should get him to come to Nostr


Casey seems like really cool guy. Only recently discovered him, but seems pretty based.


Same.


Wen live chat running from private Nostr relay feed?


Try their telegram group: https://t.me/runcitadel


Hasn't happened to me. The clients I use are Damus/Snort/Iris


I say this to myself every time I see him post a new article. Expert level domain hodling.


full send, LFG


Someone should create a caps Odell bot that just reposts every one of Matt’s nostr posts but in all caps


Enjoyed the conversation. Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers


I will make it out there at least once this year, mark my words


Cool part of nostr right now is you need to know how to manage keys to use it. That’s why the deaters of the world aren’t here yet. They would have to actually learn how to hold their own keys first.


Because fiatjaf released nostr as open source software individuals around the world are able to build and iterate on the protocol without permission.

Open source software is viral in nature. It spreads and grows without a company or individual controlling it. With a project like nostr still in its infancy it is amazing to watch the power of open source collaboration in action.

People love to argue about which open source license is best. Fiatjaf’s license is two words: “Public domain.”


Use Flexible Round Optimized Schnorr Threshold (FROST) signatures to create a joint nostr account with your friends.

FROST is a threshold multisignature (t-of-n), so to make a post/event you require t parties to individually sign and contribute signature shares. These signature shares are then combined into a single schnorr signature which is valid under the joint public key.

GM Matt, nice to see you here


The "thank you" fund reward has just been sent out to the following devs for their contributions in getting nostr to where it is today:

#[0]
#[1]
#[2]
#[3]
richardbondi
#[4]
#[5]
#[6]
#[7]
#[8]
#[9]
#[10]
#[11]
#[12]

All of which received 5,000,000 sats. This list was chosen by me, #[13] , and most client and relay core devs.

Unbeknownst to fiatjaf, me and most of the core devs got together and decided to reward him 100,000,000 sats for creating nostr, without him none of us would be here!

tx: c1c952d8c0ccf1f7664792121530b594ec5116bef97bbafdff17e6f6730d72a4

All remaining funds will be put towards contributions to the nostr ecosystem, let's get hacking!


elon threatened by nostr


I don’t think you can at the moment


Kanye did nothing wrong


Not sure I love the terminology “boosted”

Makes me think all the nostr ppl gonna drop dead soon from a sudden “cardiac arrest”
