Check out 0xchat – A secure chat client built on Nostr

0xchat just recently implemented a Cashu wallet into their chat app which means that you can send ecash to your contacts. You top off the wallet with Lightning just with any other Cashu wallet. I'm very impressed by the UX and the UI design. Amazing work!

Private payments for private chats!

We've released Mutiny version v0.5.7 which includes two notable changes.

Payjoin v1 support has been added. Huge credit to nostr:npub1yevrvtp3xl42sq06usztudhleq8pdfsugw5frgaqg6lvfdewfx9q6zqrkl over the last few months, for the improvements to the PDK library and getting it included into Mutiny! Thanks to Ben Allen too for testing.

https://m.primal.net/HZMq.png

We're really excited about the privacy gains here and for future improvements such as Payjoin v2. This should allow asynchronous payjoins, making it possible for a mobile user to payjoin with another mobile user.

We've also made some underlying changes to how NWC works in Mutiny. We've switched over all new connections to use our new strfry based relay instead of using the Blastr. This should greatly improve performance and speed, in addition to being able to better support consumer apps.

You may continue using your existing NWC connections, but for better reliability, you can delete existing wallet connections to recreate them on the new relay.

In the coming months, we should have a load of new nostr related features as well. Stay tuned!

Full-RBF Peering Bitcoin Core v26.0 Released

Available from: https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin/tree/full-rbf-v26.0

eg:

    git clone -b full-rbf-v26.0  https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin.git

What is this? It's Bitcoin Core v26.0, with Antoine Riard's full-rbf peering code, and some additional minor updates to it. This does two things for full-rbf nodes:

1) Advertises a FULL_RBF service bit when mempoolfullrbf=1 is set.
2) Connects to four additional FULL_RBF peers.

Doing this ensures that a core group of nodes are reliably propagating full-rbf replacements. We don't need everyone to run this. But it'd be helpful if more people did.

As for why you should run full-rbf, see my blog post:

https://petertodd.org/2023/why-you-should-run-mempoolfullrbf

I'm already running v26.0 on a few nodes with v2transport=1 enabled. You should too!

DROPPING STRAIGHT TRUTH ANOUT THE FINANCIAL CRISIS


This fedimint primer was helpful. Starting to think this will be a big deal…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4iclApJL0c


Running lightning nodes is too complicated for 99% of people

To do non-custodial lightning on your phone it needs to be online when you receive the payment and requires an initial onchain tx to receive.

This is terrible ux, so you are forced to use custodial solutions like wallet of satoshi, and privacy is terrible.

fedimint is a third option: the mint can provide a lightning address for receiving and sending out zaps even when you’re offline. This is private, temporary custody.

When the phone comes online it can choose to sweep fedimint funds into its non-custodial phone wallet (a future non-custodial ⚡ wallet in damus as an example). In the UI this would be simplified as your custodied and non-custodied balanced summed to your total balance.

Damus’ fedimint would be federated with other guardians such as mutiny, so I can’t unilaterally rug the custodied balance. This is implemented as a multisig bitcoin wallet behind the scenes.

The use case is killing non-private lightning custodians who can unilaterally rug you. nostr:note12yd075f9un56nlmmh6dk6ehxnatjg5kf35wcevx8rwa8kstzt5rqkv8n9m


Excited to be kicking this off.

ego death capital raising $100 million Fund II

In 2021, ego death capital was officially launched as a venture capital firm. Andi Pitt, Nico Lechuga, and I, along with Preston Pysh, Lyn Alden and Pablo Fernandez as advisors, saw an emerging opportunity to invest, through ego death capital Fund I, in companies that would both accelerate the Bitcoin ecosystem and allow us to work alongside some of the most amazing entrepreneurs of our time. Most of the “smart” money at the time still hadn’t realized that #Bitcoin was emerging not only as the preeminent store of value, but equally important, the first layer (tied to energy) of a new peer-to-peer decentralized internet of money. Because of this, many venture funds didn’t understand the difference between Bitcoin and everything else, which is probably still true today. Bitcoin was scaling in layers and there was now an opportunity to build enduring businesses on a stable and secure foundation. The thesis of Fund I was to take advantage of that asymmetry in knowledge and help the best entrepreneurs build value for users. The #Bitcoin ecosystem at that time was still quite small. We raised $25.2 million in Fund I + a $7.5 million SPV to ensure a disciplined focus on companies that could be enablers of the transition underway.

We’re extremely proud of the entrepreneurs in our Fund I portfolio companies, their teams, and their success to date. So far in Fund I, we have led funding in Fedi, Breez, Synota, Relai, and Wolf, along with two companies in stealth. Our thesis proved correct, and many of our portfolio companies (as well as others in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem) are now experiencing incredible growth, with much more expected on the horizon. Real companies, bringing real value to users – and growing as a result.

In 2024, the funding market still hasn’t caught up to the opportunity, and a significant gap exists in Series A funding for Bitcoin only companies. This makes sense because a majority of venture capital still doesn’t understand the transformative nature of the Bitcoin protocol nor how it is emerging in layers. Without this key knowledge, it would be hard to understand the profound shift this entails to businesses in the future. This leaves Bitcoin only entrepreneurs not only pitching on the value and metrics of their business, but in parallel trying to “teach” capital that has been burned with their crypto investments about a new protocol. To add insult to injury, it is many of these same Bitcoin only entrepreneurs who warned of the various scams in the crypto/web3 market in the first place. It’s not a stretch to say that those building on Bitcoin prefer a partner who understands and is focused on it. For any entrepreneur, it is hard to imagine building enduring trust with a financial partner who doesn’t share your world view.

One of the most exciting things about the Bitcoin space is the extraordinary talent it attracts from all over the world. Having a front row seat at the profound shift that the internet demonstrated and how it attracted the best and brightest, I honestly didn’t think I would have another chance to experience it. Instead, we’re experiencing something even more powerful than the rise of the internet. An exponentially growing talent pool of entrepreneurs, users, and capital who fully understand that the most profound challenges of our time are unable to be solved from the very system creating them. Who instead of trying to optimize from within that broken system, have decided to focus their time, talent and capital on a parallel system built on Bitcoin that changes the world.

That dedication applies to our team too, we are very excited to announce that Lyn Alden and Preston Pysh are joining Fund II as partners. Through their work as advisors to Fund I, we already know the incredible value to the fund and companies in it they provide. In addition to our new partners for Fund II, we are adding renown Bitcoin and Lightning Network expert, Lisa Neigut alongside Pablo Fernandez as an additional technical advisor. We are also fortunate to add Pete Briger (Chairman of Fortress Investment Group) as an advisor to Fund II. Besides being a long time Bitcoin advocate, Pete helped to build Fortress into one of the preeminent financial firms of our time. These moves deepen our own bench with incredible people so that we in turn can continue to deliver value to the entrepreneurs and investors we serve.

While it is still early and there will be many ups and downs along the way, a transition from the world operating on top of a dishonest ledger, to the world working on top of an honest ledger is firmly underway. That transition will create incredible business opportunities, while bringing hope and abundance to billions of people around the world.

We feel super fortunate to be a part of it.

For the record, I have owned GBTC  in my retirement account for a while. I am transferring those funds into Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF. Fidelity is the only ETF offering who prioritzied self custody vs relying on coinbase. They have also been strong advocates of Bitcoin for a number of years. Of course I self-custody the bulk of my Bitcoin but for retirment account purposes I choose Fidelity.

Ticker: FBTC

As always, do your own research.


EVERY PROFITABLE BITCOIN BUSINESS SHOULD SUPPORT THE OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTORS THAT MAKE THIS MOVEMENT POSSIBLE.


why is he so quiet though? they already know if it was compromised or not? SEC begging them not to reveal it was a badly scheduled tweet.


no way that was a hack


Bitcoin's purpose is much higher than increasing the net worth of those who hold it (or hold exposure to it). Bitcoin is freedom money and the siren calls of wealth and convenience are on their way to undermine the  mission. Don't get distracted. Our children will be free.

Fellow #Bitcoin node runners:
If you are running Bitcoin Core 26.0 please enable this in your bitcoin.conf file:

v2transport=1

This will enable BIP324 v2 transport protocol which as I understand it causes communication to be encrypted between nodes that have v2transport enabled. I can see from my own node that there are very few other nodes have have BIP324 enabled! Lets bring those numbers up! You can check your own node with:

bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo | grep transport_protocol_type

and hopefully you see a few "v2".

A call to crypto flippers

Whether or not there is another “alt season”, I invite all you crypto aficionados to redirect your life’s energy, up to now invested in feeding this addiction to coin flipping/“invoosting”, towards cleaning up your act instead. Come join us on the bitcoin front—we have a lot to give, yes, but we need you, too.

You see we’re approaching a battle of the ages here. One that will likely involve bank runs, devaluations, and wars in the West. A conflict whose outcomes will certainly impact the lives of our children and many generations after. And for that years’ long struggle our world needs all the help it can get.

I have a lot of sympathy for people suffering from behavioral addictions and general lack of impulse control—I struggle with this still myself. In fact I believe addiction is the dominant challenge of our current era, co-created by the fiat system which drastically reduces the rewards people can earn from deferral of gratification and a virtuous life in general.

But this is not the place to get in the intellectual weeds.

I’m just here to send you, to the best of my ability, a warm invitation to try and clean up your life. I’m here to remind you that the world is worth it, and to valiantly assure you that you are worth it.

So get yourself to a meeting (yes the one you’ve been telling yourself you don’t need), pick up that book you bookmarked a while ago, ask someone for advice or support, cue up that meditation podcast, walk a dog, go on a walk in nature, or take a cold shower for 30 seconds. I suggest beginning small, so small that you can take that first step right now.

We’re all going to die one day. You know it, and deep down you also know what kind of life will make you feel proud to have lived. Sure, you can keep trying to get that chuckle out of other degen traders, and get on a little buzz by setting up that 10x leveraged play, but deep down you know that is just a poor surrogate for making a real connection with yourself and the rest of this world.

Here is the good news: once you start walking the path towards the good life (not as in hedonism but as in doing the right thing), you will, little by little, start noticing that you are in fact not alone, that in fact we are all in this together. You’ll start developing friendships and rekindling old ones that you’d forgotten you lost. And, paradoxically, as you slowly face your fears of “not having enough” head on, you’ll realize you already have so much to be grateful for, and you’ll start to feel happier than you’ve ever been.

Help yourself, you’re worth it! Under that thin cynical veneer, a truly beautiful person resides. That person knows in his bones that this little planet, with all its male and female silliness, with its songs of pain and sorrow, this blue-green-orange place teeming with life, is surely worth it too. Your possible reaction to this paragraph, that “meh…” or eye rolling part of you, that’s not all of you, that’s not who you are deep down. There is wonder in you, and joy, and a thirst for worthwhile adventure. If you can’t feel it, it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t there for you, but just that there’s clouds hanging out in your sky. An ominous sky makes place for a cheerful one, over time but inevitably, once one starts walking the path of the good life.

So join us my friend. Join us bitcoiners in the fight to defend life and liberty on earth. Lord of the Rings is real, and we are the Hobbits: weak physically, sure, but possessing a unique power to save the world of man. Time to leave the Shire!

A decentralized #Bitcoin is a Bitcoin where miners decide what goes in blocks, not pools.

OCEAN's ultimate goal is to make this a reality, and today we take one step closer to our vision of decentralized block template construction.

Available immediately, OCEAN is offering 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, giving miners control over what blocks they are mining.

The three options are:

1) OCEAN Recommended (most real financial transactions and least spam)
2) Bitcoin Core with the “Ordisrespector” spam filter
3) Unmodified Bitcoin Core (same as other pools with fewest financial transactions and most spam)

OCEAN will continue its 0% promotional pool fee for options 1 & 2 while there will be a competitive pool fee of 2% for option 3.

Our fees are structured to incentivize miners to make choices that benefit the Bitcoin network in the long term.

Suggestions for more templates? Let us know at mining@ocean.xyz.

🎉 HRF is excited to announce its Q4 round of Bitcoin Development Fund grants 🎁

💰 $500,000 to 18 projects across areas such as global education, Bitcoin Core, mining decentralization, and support for devs in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

One grantee is Mostro, a peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange created by Venezuelan developer Francisco Calderon. It is designed to facilitate censorship-resistant financial transactions under authoritarian regimes.

📚 MyFirstBitcoin, a non-profit in Central America, is another recipient. They offer an open-source Bitcoin education program. With HRF’s support, they’ll be able to increase their international expansion, bringing crucial knowledge to more closed societies.

Arabic Hodl is making Bitcoin education more accessible to the more than 400 million Arabic-speaking people worldwide. Hodl’s project includes creating how-to guides, privacy tutorials, educational podcasts, and foundational Bitcoin literature in Arabic.

🌐🔍 Netblocks receives support for their vital work in monitoring global internet restrictions. Continuous internet monitoring is crucial for activists and journalists to maintain their freedom of expression, access to information, and safety. Strong internet is also important for financial freedom.

HRF is funding developer Lorban for his work on StratumV2. Stratum V2 enables mining pool users to select transactions for proposed blocks, instead of relying on templates from pools, increasing Bitcoin’s censorship resistance. ⛏

John Carlson's efforts to improve the Bitcoin Core App project is also receiving support. Through this work, he hopes to lower technical barriers and make Bitcoin transactions more accessible to a wider audience, starting with users on Android devices.

Area Bitcoin, founded by Carol Souza and Kaka Furlan, is expanding its Brazilian educational content across Latin America. The HRF funding will enable translations of their resources into Spanish and English. 📚🌎

🇳🇮In Nicaragua, Berta Valle is focusing on Bitcoin education for human rights defenders in Latin America. Her project will empower dissidents and civil society leaders with Bitcoin to help them become financially resilient against oppressive regimes.

Bitshala in India is creating a hub of Bitcoin knowledge and community. With HRF's support, they'll provide tutorials, technical training, and resources for budding Bitcoin developers in the country. 🇮🇳🌱💡

What would it look like, if an emergent money was being monetized?

Often when I talk with academics or other high-IQ critics of bitcoin, it’s the volatility and seemingly speculative aspect of it that turns them off. It’s almost distasteful to them. They can get behind the idea of global open-source payments and so forth, “but that’s not why people buy it” they’ll say. “They buy it because they’re speculating. It’s too volatile for its own good.” Some aspect of them dislikes it in principle, almost *because* one can make money from it.

But a new decentralized money, including its own unit of account and liquidity, doesn’t just emerge as a multi-trillion dollar-equivalent network out of the box. In order to go from zero to trillions in market capitalization and liquidity, it needs upside volatility. And with upside volatility comes speculation, leverage, and downside volatility. Cycle after cycle, it’s priced like an option. At first it’s like a 0.1% chance that it succeeds in the long run. And then in the next cycle it’s like 1%. And then in the next cycle it’s like 5%, and so forth. So, early capital allocators that have seen a thing or two and know the high failure rate of new ideas will say, “This’ll probably fail, but if it doesn’t, both the investment gains and the macro implications will be enormous.” And then 15 years into it with a few more cycles under its belt, the probability of success looks less like a distant moonshot and more like a real possibility, and then eventually starts to look like the base case. In the beginning the question is, “how will this succeed?” and at later stages the question becomes, “what risks could prevent this from continuing to succeed?”

The process of buying bitcoin is often a speculative process at first, but then as people learn more, they often view it differently. Those that really want speculation will then continue down the pipeline of altcoins- there’s always some shiny new object to try to speculate on. On the other hand, those who begin viewing bitcoin as money, start to view it as a defensive or risk-off act to hold a piece of this liquid and globally decentralized network of value. One would feel too financially exposed not to.

I just tried to send an international wire between bank accounts that I've sent between before with no problem, and got denied this time. They didn't give a reason.

People who say bitcoin is a solution in search of a problem generally don't have many international assets to deal with. International connections between fiat rails are slow, expense, ever-debasing, and at any time the rules change and block you.

My favorite individual rap song was Coolio's Gangster Paradise; I haven't seen anything to beat that yet, but Eminem's overall work was my favorite, among several top rappers. Eminem was generally my default answer.

Maybe going forward I should say nostr:npub1hrctsg2qwu5gsp65gvj29968z460g0th755jq92c8uaz620lewmq6qk525 is my favorite rapper. When they are like, "who?" I could be like, "Meh, google 'Break the Frame' and have fun."

Bitcoin is more correlated with global liquidity than any other asset I track. Liquidity doesn't generally tell you the *magnitude* of what bitcoin's price will do, but it has a pretty strong push/pull on the *direction* that bitcoin's price goes in, all else being equal. It's not the only variable, but so far it has been a meaningful one. The mechanism is that it affects the rate at which new external capital tends to come into bitcoin.

Bitcoin supply halvings are an expression of its hardness. And the direction is always harder.

Global liquidity is an expression of fiat currency hardness. Usually it gets softer over time, but with brief periods of hardening. And fiat currency is much larger overall, so it affects a lot of asset prices including bitcoin. Due to bitcoin's inherent moneyness (lack of earnings or other dynamic factors) it tends to correlate to liquidity more tightly than other assets.

Do you like a little spoiler for being curios? Here we go:
- Mutiny Wallet is fully non-custodial
- You get two separate wallets / Onchain and Lightning (both non-custodial)
- Mutiny is a Progressive Web App (PWA) so there is no need to download it from a store
- Easy backup with 12 word seed
- Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) and the opportunity to zap your Nostr contacts directly from your wallet

That's amazing for the early state and I'm excited what things will be added soon 🚀🏴☠✨🤙!

Solid accumulation happening is my best guess. Mempool was empty during the initial pump past 30k to 35k. Now we broke back through 35k and mempool is actually nicely active suggesting a lot of buying and withdrawing to wallets.


Mempool was essentially empty and within the past couple days spiked significantly. Wonder what's behind that... 👀

We've been thinking a lot about subscriptions at Mutiny and how others can take advantage of it.

Today, ZapplePay just shipped AutoZaps. It's like a decentralized Patreon: every npub gets their own page where people can set up recurring payments to them. https://www.zapplepay.com/autozap/

AutoZaps and ZapplePay use NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) to communicate with supporting wallets such as Mutiny and Alby. Both wallets have budgeting features so you can auto-approve payment requests associated with a specific NWC string.

We built Mutiny+ using this same NWC tech. Bitcoin is a "push" system, so replicating fiat's "pull" payments in a self-sovereign way involves new ideas and standards. NWC keeps the user in control, and offers the convenience of autopay when you want it. https://blog.mutinywallet.com/solving-subscriptions-on-bitcoin-one-zap-at-a-time/

Check out AutoZaps and see what you think! We're looking to work with other services / products that want to offer NWC-based checkouts and subscriptions so hit us up if you'd like to chat.

“The institutions are coming” was a meme in the last cycle.

And it was partially true. Small businesses came. High net worth people came. Forward thinking public companies with bitcoiner leaders like MicroStrategy and Square/Block came. Even a few big insurance companies and asset managers dabbled.

But that was premature. The institutions just tasted. Their leaders bought with their personal accounts or otherwise understood, but couldn’t put big regulated money in. And it was a crazy time- with fiscal stimulus many things were a bubble.

I talk to some institutions, and like, they get it now. That’s not exactly news when Larry Fink is on tv calling it a flight to quality. But I will reinforce it anecdotally- institutions increasingly get it, or at least some of it.

Most people only see the prior cycle or two. They don’t see all prior cycles since inception because that requires looking at a log chart and putting in a few hundred hours of research.

Bitcoin has to get big enough to hit your radar, lead you to form an opinion on it, collapse, and then hit your radar even bigger again, for most people to get it. It’s not about “all cycles”; it’s about their *specific* cycle of understanding it, forming an opinion, and then seeing another cycle that either validates or challenges their opinion.

Also, many people will get emotional this cycle. Fade emotions and focus on fundamentals.

Anyway, enjoy your evening.

The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.

This will start with Gift-wrapped DMs, Private Attachments, Private zaps, Private Text Notes, and Private Reactions; and will be the preferred transmission choice if both users are online, falling back to relays when they are not. Our Push Notification system already transmitted over 500,000 GiftWrapped Nostr events that relays will never see. With a full P2P this will get even better and will open the doors for voice and video calls directly inside Amethyst. Side-stepping relays won't be easy or quick. And I am sure we will get strong pushback from relay operators. But we will get there. And while this might start as an Amethyst feature, it will be a NIP and other clients will be able to join the privacy train.

Nostr is just starting.

That sale ($373M) probably happened months ago because financial reporting is delayed. A smoke and mirrors show for Blackrock to play their hand while people are distracted. Over $15B transacted (approx 551k BTC) on the Bitcoin network today. My hunch is they are scooping up coins on the cheap before SEC v Grayscale decision.

Blackrock shorting bitcoin so they can scoop it up cheaper. Tomorrow is the likely release of court ruling between SEC v. Grayscale for ETF conversion.


They're not anticipating the move. My hunch is they were the cause/played a part in the dip on purpose. Scooping up the cheapest coin they can before the news. We are supposed to get the Grayscale v. SEC court ruling tomorrow. Odds favor Grayscale winning. Number go up. #bitcoin nostr:note1adlfag7kpu07se2ap3m6usj5e5zjvqvhn7f5j6ltc0z22az8mn2s3js2uj


that is a valid point. it does seem at this point shadow ban is in full effect if you're not a blue check. an algorithm is probably already in place to further reduce reach if one is promoting other alternatives. ideally would like to delete everything on twitter and just leave one post up saying, "running nostr."


very cool! #nostr

Parker said they have the title of bitcoin capital because it's the energy capital in the US. Nuclear provides nearly 50% of Tennessee's energy vs Texas at 10%, plus better weather in TN. Tennessee = Winner

give me the dip and I will stack more sats. thank you very much.


social media is merely the first popular nostr enabled use case - there will be many different types of tools that use nostr as an interoperable communication protocol - none of us can comprehend the many creative use cases that will emerge
