In October I was busy doing just what I love!

- interviewing grumpy bitcoiners
- working on #Bitcoin education
- creating awesome content
- eating delicious food
- admiring Lugano’s beauty
- and just being happy with all my chaos 😊

Tons of love to everyone who shared this crazy month with me and made it even better!

For anyone interested. I think the pitch/products is correct. Other successful companies related to a FOSS project, and with healthy relationship, just offer support services as a way of feeding back developer time into the FOSS project, WordPress, Canonical, etc. A good example is the nip05 example in the deck, we built a thing using lnbits which gave us a good reason to tlc the nip05 extension, which anyone can now make use of.

You might be able to push it even further. When with having no channel at all, only peer connection and routing hint. This is how some LSPs do "just in time channels"

I'm starting to think you don't even need Reviews, of let's say movies, if:
1. You have Zaps   👉   expression of value in sats instead of a score (people suck at this + has no cost)
2. There's a comment section  👉   discussion about any aspect of the movie

🔀 FreeSabi  🔀

This account will publish liquidity status of free WabiSabi coordinators advertised on Nostr.
You can connect to those coordinators by entering their advertised URI in Wallet Wasabi under Settings -> Bitcoin -> Coordinator URI
Remember to download Wasabi only from official sources: https://wasabiwallet.io/ or https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/releases

To run your own coordinator and help bitcoiners regain their privacy, visit https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Wabisabi/.
Bootstrapping a coordinator directly from Wasabi Wallet will be improved as the software is undergoing a transition towards FOSS.

Disclaimer: This account will list all free coordinators without any distinction nor control.
A mention isn't an endorsement. It is the responsibility of the coordinators and their users to ensure that they are compliant with AML laws applying in their jurisdiction.

Working on the new nostr:npub1d0csynrrxcynkcedktdzrdj6gnras2psg48mf46kxjazs8skrjgq9uzhlq; it is interesting to think about how Nostr can be used and explained in an especially corporate context.
What about you, do you have any documents waiting to be signed?

I thought the new Wasabi release was just a coordination switching feature. It's way better than that.

Wasabi coordinator discovery based on nostr. Talk about unstoppable coordination.

Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

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

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

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

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

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

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.

2013 post from 4chan was right on the money for predictions in how things are playing out.

It won't be a sudden event ... well worth reading. https://image.nostr.build/0d5ebaadffe24922fb493857ba5af6d760c76d82a9fa4d92bb9669c3bcf2f37f.jpg


A friend has taught me a weird habit. You find yourself in a place where you realize how much you love the life you're living and with curiosity you ask yourself a variation of the question "what do the fiat people do right now?". The word fiat represents where you started your way where you are now, what it means for you. I've used the beautiful slovak "etatisti" - that's actually what the anonymous person that taught me this habit used.

Then you imagine halogen lights in the office, endless traffic jams and calls and meetings. E-mail. Low quality cantina food. Mortgage. And making fiat that some corporation made up on their books in order to loan it to the employer.

And especially the various hierarchies. Political, corporate, scientific, ...

And then you shake your head and catch another wave. If only people knew that riding the volatility is very peaceful, you just can't stay near the beach, the want smashes you to a round of forced skin peeling. Out there is better.


13 years after Room 77 became the first outlet on Earth to accept it, #Bitcoin's coming home.

Will you join the legacy? 😎

Three weeks ago I wrote an article on the EU's new AMLR in Bitcoin Magazine, detailing how the EU passed ALM laws restricting the use of Bitcoin privacy tools without any data to back up their claims that privacy heightens money laundering and terrorist financing risks.

Alex Stachtchenko took it a step further and ran the numbers. For every Euro confiscated, 200€ are spent. This means that the EU's AML compliance costs of 144B Euro exceeds all money ascribed to crime per year at 110B Euro – and still, 99% of criminal profits escape confiscation.

Despite their absolute inefficiency AML laws continue to be expanded, subjecting all EU citizens to total financial surveillance for the price of catching 1%. It is a system that has grown completely out of control and is in no way proportionate to the right to privacy enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

It's a long read, and its in French so you'll need to translate it, but I guarantee that it will be worth every minute of your time.
