takes a crack at the onboarding problem that many new users face on the Nostr. Help your friends by bootstrapping them with interesting follows and relays so that they can get the ground running. Check out the lively discussion in the thread, and the proof of concept at https://onboardstr.vercel.app
quoting

Proof-of-Concept: onboardstr.vercel.app

Objective: billions must generate nostr accs

I think this should be the way we onboard 80% of ppl to nostr. i had a friend download damus then i proceeded to bore them with ‘follow this guy’ or ‘add this relay too btw’.

add your npub to the end of the onboardstr url, and when your friend generates an nsec they will have all the same follows/relays as you straightaway. instantly their feed is lively, and they can curate it themselves from there.

announces their measures to mitigate the recent surge in lightning network spam.
quoting

Many have noticed a sharp increase in paid Lightning spam lately.

Opinion is divided - some love the free sats, some hate the constant notifications and spammy messages. In any case it's an interesting development in the ecosystem! ⚡️

We have just implemented a change on our server to detect payments that are likely spam. You'll still get the sats and can look at the messages in your payment history if you want, but this should help minimise unwanted system notifications starting now! 🙏

announces that the LN.tips will now limit payments under 21 sats from displaying a message, and under 100 sats from displaying a URL in an attempt to limit zap spamming.
quoting

LN.tips now requires payments to be at least 21 sats to send you an message. If the message includes a URL, that minimum goes up to 100 sats.

If you're going to get spammed, you should be able to stack some sats 🫰 To receive more spam, put your ln.tips Lightning address into your nostr profile.

Two months ago, the Human Rights Foundation and Bitcoin Park partnered to host the Global Bitcoin Summit.

Here's a sneak peak of the Summit: https://youtu.be/i5tqQgJAjcU?si=d_4PteRvCswuFNrT

New Coracle release brings several changes and bug fixes.
quoting

Good morning all, I have a new Coracle release for you. This is the kind of release that hopefully fixes more bugs than it creates — but let me know if that's not the case!

Related to this release, I've published a new NIP for reviews, since labels really weren't the right solution for them ultimately. Check it out and give feedback here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/879

I'd also like to plug my nostr utility library, paravel, which is mostly stable, and provides some low-level utilities for connection management, subscriptions, caching, and nostr tag parsing.

https://github.com/coracle-social/paravel

# 0.3.12

- [x] Add setting to disable likes/reactions (you're welcome )
- [x] Move some utilities to paravel
- [x] Add experimental DVM code
- [x] Disable NIP 24 messages for now
- [x] Use NIP 85 for relay reviews
- [x] Improve feed controls UX
- [x] Add rendering support for kind 1986
- [x] Fix publish failure detection

shares their thoughts on the power of incorporating Data Vending Machines into clients, and announces that you can now use for translations in #Nostrudel
quoting

#noStrudel now supports translations thanks to whoever built the DVM bot
Its a little slow at the moment but I'm sure things are going to get a faster.


I cant express how bullish I am on DVMs. I didn't have to integrate with multiple APIs or ask the user for whether they want to use Google translate or LibreTranslate instead its all through nostr.
The way it works is a users creates a "Translation request" event kind:5002 then there are some bots that are watching for the requests and they respond with an offer kind:7000 with an asking price.
Then the user can pick an offer by paying the invoice. wait a few seconds and the bot will post a "Translation result" event kind:6002 with the translated text

And I haven't even got to the best part. You dont always have to pay for a translation. since nostr is public you can see translation requests made by other users 😀

Privacy advocates celebrate as European Parliament has voted down the controversial CHAT Control proposal, which would threaten the basic rights of hundreds of millions of Europeans by removing protections for communications using E2EE. 🇪🇺
quoting

Dear friends, today is a great day for online privacy!

With an overwhelming 51:2 vote, the EU parliament has decided *AGAINST CHAT CONTROL* proposed by the EU Council. It included warrantless mass surveillance of phones and circumventing end-to-end encryption.

The fight is not over yet.

We will see how the Council adjusts its stance.

is asking for help trying to assist a user retrieve funds after the user accidentally sent funds from a swap to a P2PK at Kraken. If you have contacts at Kraken please read the attached note for more info.
quoting

#Bitcoin community, help a fellow Bitcoiner to recover funds! Reposts & @'s highly appreciated🙏

Anyone with contacts to a tech-savvy person at Kraken please relay this! The issue is not easy to get across, user tried with Kraken customer service for two weeks to no avail.

What happened:
- user accidentally pasted Kraken's ln node pubkey as "destination" in a Boltz swap
- turns out node pubkeys are valid P2PKs (the thing before there were Bitcoin addresses), so the swap went through
- now the funds are sitting in a P2PK which Kraken should have keys for

Here the P2PK: https://mempool.space/address/02f1a8c87607f415c8f22c00593002775941dea48869ce23096af27b0cfdcc0b69
Which matches:
https://amboss.space/node/02f1a8c87607f415c8f22c00593002775941dea48869ce23096af27b0cfdcc0b69

Kraken should be able to return the funds using their lightning node's key to sign the transaction.

We know this is a big ask and some might not even consider the amount worth the effort but for us this is about principles: Returning funds to a fellow Bitcoiner, user of Kraken & Boltz 🙏

#Bitcoin never gets boring.

Another bounty claimed! built the "A podcast RSS mirror/replacement." With even more flexibility than I hopped for.
