If you're at @BTCPrague and you hear any one from Strategy or Strive talk, just repeat this line in your head "they are trying to get me to buy their stock and not bitcoin" and everything will make more sense.

This is a useful tool because, as you will see, BIP-110 compliant blocks are practically nonexistent.

> Saylor promotes tokenization and ETH Defi at the BItcoin 2026 conference > First ever sale of MSTR BTC is 32 BTC a month later > Incredibly small amount in proportion to total holding > ETH Validators require 32 ETH Coincidence, or a subtle hint at something?

Huge milestone for Cashu. After 3 years of work, we finally have unruggable mints. I'm testing the first on-chain Cashu mint running inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), where the mint keys are generated entirely within the enclave and remain unknown to the operator. That means the operator cannot inflate the ecash supply and cannot access the Bitcoin reserves backing it. We've moved from trusting operators to relying on hardware-enforced cryptographic guarantees. There's still work to do, but the path forward is clear. This is an incredibly exciting step toward trust-minimized ecash.

Number 3 in our wallet series: macadamia Wallet. A fully native iOS wallet for Cashu with a sleek design. The real standout is the macadamia extension, which lets you send Bitcoin directly via iMessage.

Huge progress update. We will soon have Cashu Ecash mints in secure enclaves that the mint operator can't steal the Bitcoin from, not can they inflate or manipulate the Ecash supply. The operator has no access to the private keys of the mint. This is amazing news for users and operators alike. It allows us to build tools for communities that allow them to run mints without being afraid of malicious actors, internally or externally, such as security threats from hackers. We're building this for the Bitcoin community first but we're planning to expand this also for local currency communities outside of the crypto space that exist in pockets all around the world. Especially the local currency tech stack is old and antiquated. We're going to give them the most advanced ecash protocol they could ever dream of. For free! Lots of moving parts here: servers, libraries, backend, wallets, and protocol extensions. Incredible work by the entire Cashu team.

@SteaknShake should open a location in New Hampshire! There is a huge bitcoin user community here.
I went to Steak n Shake in Ann Arbor MI and I made my first ever Bitcoin Lightning purchase (:

My life goal is to get as many people as possible to achieve their 2013 Bitcoiner era.

Silent Payments Explained Simply A major privacy issue for Bitcoin is address reuse. If you reuse a Bitcoin address, anyone with that address can see your transaction history and balances. The solution was to generate a new bitcoin address for each transaction. Silent Payments allow you to reuse a single static payment address, that generates a new on-chain bitcoin address every single time you receive.

Bitcoin self-custody is only half the equation. The other half is making sure your loved ones can actually access it when you're gone. Otherwise, what's the point? There's DIY or 1:1 support options to get your estate plan in place. Or, if you simply want to know where you stand, get the free inheritance checklist. mybitcoinwill.com/

I built Tipstr.app to solve a problem I see facing content creators. Getting tips should be simple, free, and more censorship-resistant. Most creators just need a simple tipping page where viewers can easily send money as appreciation for their work with minimal friction on both ends.

This is so friggin cool. Already up and running on my laptop/phone for testing.
New version of Nostr VPN is out. Like tailscale, but no email addresses or 3rd party accounts, just public keys. New: * native multiplatform user interfaces * Nostr-based multihop routing (FIPS protocol) — very useful when NAT holepunching fails * improved network management UX

If you have a Nostr profile, you can add a link to a Tipstr.app page on your X account for Lightning tips/zaps!

Zaps on X NOW! What are you waiting for, @elonmusk? Permission?

Keith Ammon helped deregulate blockchain technology in New Hampshire. He is leading the charge to make New Hampshire more nuclear friendly. He's exactly the type of man New Hampshire needs: principled, effective, smart. Some Libertarians just can't stand seeing others win.

Can someone please explain what's going on here?
