Blog Post: Introducing Primal for iOS

I just shared more details about our iOS release, including our wallet approach:

Miljan responds to a question about email addresses and npubs when it comes to Primal’s in-app purchases.
quoting

We store the email address for compliance reasons. We don't have access to the in-app purchase payment info. Therefore payment info is not associated with the npub.

announces Bitcoin Knots v25.1 which he says fixes a bug that allows inscriptions to bypass the data carry size, allowing for a vulnerability in Bitcoin core that is being exploited for spamming the blockchain.
quoting

PSA: “Inscriptions” are exploiting a vulnerability in #Bitcoin Core to spam the blockchain. Bitcoin Core has, since 2013, allowed users to set a limit on the size of extra data in transactions they relay or mine (`-datacarriersize`). By obfuscating their data as program code, Inscriptions bypass this limit.

This bug was recently fixed in Bitcoin Knots v25.1. It took longer than usual due to my workflow being severely disrupted at the end of last year (v24 was skipped entirely).

Bitcoin Core is still vulnerable in the upcoming v26 release. I can only hope it will finally get fixed before v27 next year.
reports that Knots v25.1 has now been deployed to production.
quoting

We are happy to announce testing of Bitcoin Knots v25.1 has completed successfully, and is now deployed to production. Among other improvements, this upgrade fixes this long-standing vulnerability exploited by modern spammers. As a result, our blocks will now include many more real transactions and help to bring an end to the DoS attack being performed on the #Bitcoin network.

So, in addition to our already-established benefits (transparency, non-custodial, and permissionless), we now also offer honest miners the first easy option to contribute toward blocks full of real transactions, effectively a several times larger block size in terms of transaction confirmations, without actually making the blocks any larger.


shares reflections on visiting a village in Malawi that now has electricity because of Gridless and #Bitcoin mining.
quoting

Visiting a village in Malawi that now has electricity because of Gridless and #Bitcoin mining was such an incredible experience.

In Malawi, the median salary is $2.00 per day and in the village we visited, it’s closer to $1.00. Worse, Malawi just had a currency debasement of 44% 3 weeks ago.

It touched my soul to meet and spend time with these amazing people, to see the laughter of the children, and to hear how #Bitcoin is changing their lives.

I would say good luck to anyone who thinks that #Bitcoin can be stopped. Because they are fighting a redistribution of power away from manipulation and exploitation of people back to them and to the free market.

Before we start I would also like to thank again and all the users that use nostree, thank you, developing this together with you is something that makes me feel very lucky. Without further ado, let’s start with the release note.

Follows and contact list: In this version a button has been added to follow users, and to have a visual reference of who you follow and who you don’t, this is a very nice addition when doing a search for example, as you can identify who is in your contact list and who is not. Also now in the ‘explore’ section you can filter by your ‘friends’ contact lists or view all ‘global’ lists. Also your contact list is saved locally, so you can always have it at your disposal, soon we will develop functionalities to export this list and keep it so that nostree is also a way to backup your nostr profile, like metadata.nostr.com and nostrsync.live currently do.


Button to add link to a list: This is a feature that has been suggested several times and has been included in this version, now with this button you can add a new link to the list you want without having to go into edit mode.


Bugfixes and UX improvements: In this version, as usual, some rough edges have been polished, sharp corners have been filed and some bugs have been squashed.

Thanks for being here, for the next versions we will continue adding quality of life features and little by little we will implement the new design proposed by

explains their increase in channel open/close pricing due to the current bitcoin fee environment.
quoting

Due to the rising cost of Bitcoin transactions, we've added larger multipliers on channel open/close pricing.

With a 4x multiplier, you can charge double the high priority transaction fee to both open a channel and close it later.

This favors larger channels at lower prices.
