On the Fedimint dev call today, we setup a demo federation using Iroh.
Iroh is fucking awesome. It allows each Fedimint guardian to talk to each other via a relay, sets up P2P communication using hole punching, and uses public keys as identifiers (which allows the servers to change their actual IP address).
Everything can run behind a NAT on your laptop or home server. No domain names, no cloud servers, no open ports. It took us just 15 minutes to set one up with zero networking issues.
Distributed systems magic.

What I want:
- post photos to my own relay
- easy UX for others to view my photos
- possibly have the ability to whitelist some photos for specific npubs (private photos, family members, etc).
I've always wanted more sovereignty over my photos but it seems to always come at the cost of easily sharing them with others. Nostr seems like a good solution for this. Can any clients do this?

Is there an instagram-like app for Nostr?

Fedimint needs more wallets! No excuses anymore, the web SDK is here and is stupid simple to use.

Continually grateful for the Minneapolis Bitcoin community and our BitDevs meetup. We've been meeting for over a year every month and have contributors involved in numerous projects, including silent payments, Fedimint, LND, Lightning vending machines, and various nostr projects. Bullish

ROASTr: A Fedimint Module for collaboratively signing NOSTR events
I made a Fedimint module for signing Nostr events! The module uses ROAST to collaboratively create and sign nostr notes. This can be used to make Nostr the "official" communication channel of Fedimints. Fedimints can broadcast signed notes about their liquidity, maintenance schedules, or discovery announcements.

Ha yeah the Fedimint nostr module we've been building is essentially just @npub1j8d…26k2's Frostr but in a Fedimint. We thought it we be cool to enable broadcasting messages from the Fedimint so users could verify messages like "spinning down on X date". Could even send users a DM or something when they've received ecash

2024-02-13 19:45:06

haha the nostr Fedimint module is actually based off of @npub1j8d…26k2 Frostr project. I've essentially just been adapting it into a Fedimint module so that Fedimints can broadcast messages to nostr. They also could potentially DM you when you receive an ecash payment, etc. Still a work in progress but its been a fun project!

I believe this is part of DKG and not necessarily specific to FROST. Each participant needs to generate a polynomial of a specific degree and distribute the shares to other participants, to create the shared polynomial. So they kind of can bring their own key, since each participant is free to choose the secret for their polynomial (I.e the y-intercept), but that's probably not what you're asking

Yesterday at the Minneapolis Bitcoin meetup, we launched The Minneapolis Fed, which is a Fedimint for our community. I think this is one of the first mainnet community-lead federations and I'm excited to see more federations pop up over the coming year.
We on-boarded attendees using Fedi and @npub1mut…23vg and even had a contest to see who could redeem a 100000 sat ecash note the fastest (shout out to Collin for winning).
Fedimint is still pretty early software so it was made clear that this is still somewhat #Reckless and to use with low value but given that v0.2.1 is the first stable release, we were eager to test it out with some real funds.
It was pretty cool to see federated ecash in action. I know we had an IRL ecash transaction for Real Bedford merch and some attendees reimbursed others for Keeper's Heart Old Fashions. Unfairly cheap too, our federation has no fees!
Given that this Fedimint is for the Minneapolis community, we will be keeping it small and mainly share invite codes during in-person gatherings. So if you want to try it out, be sure to attend a Minneapolis Bitcoin meetup or Minneapolis BitDevs https://bitdevsmpls.org
We are working on a guide that other communities can follow to setup their own federation. And over time this will get easier as we build tools to automate the deployment process.
Very fun meetup last night, thanks to everyone who attended and tried out Fedimint!

Pretty big change to Fedimint got merged last week. We switched the consensus algorithm from HBBFT to AlephBFT. This change should improve the latency of Fedimint transactions and also eliminates a lot of redundant code. Shout out to joshican for getting it merged!

In Shamir's secret sharing, is the secret the coefficent of the first term of the polynomial or where the polynomial crosses the y-axis (x=0)? I heard the latter but perhaps it can be either?

The mints won't actually decode the ecash tokens. At least for Fedimint, the lightning integration is via a "lightning gateway". These gateways are lightning nodes and clients of federation(s) and act as a market maker between ecash notes and btc. So assuming cashu can receive via lightning, a fedimint user can pay a cashu mint using a lightning gateway 👊

It should be compatible over Lightning
