Is there currently a similar project - even just for Bitcoin (Lightning) - that would incentivize users to run their own specific Nostr nodes in order to create a censorship-resistant marketplace?

Ok, so:
- Primal (Android) and Yakihonne (Android + Web) = don't see it.
but
- Primal (Web) = sees it.
Unfortunately, with Nostr clients things are just as chaotic as with Linux distros 12–13 years ago...

Do you see this emoji? -> :monero:
Desktop Nostr client for Linux! -> @Jumble
That's cool!
Testing it right now!
Brought you another serving of democracy.

Ukrainians of draft age who have arrived in the Czech Republic and have not completed military service will not be eligible for temporary protection, according to the Czech Ministry of the Interior
This requirement does not apply to those who already have valid temporary protection.

I don’t know how much of a goy you have to be to believe in "legality" and "human rights" in the modern world.
Over the past few years, Monero has been delisted by the largest CEXs, including Binance, etc.
At the same time, a large number of sellers have emerged from whom I buy everything I need directly using XMR 😘

🇺🇦 Men abroad will not be able to obtain consular services without military registration documents
I've brought you a bit of that sexy democracy...
Any government = a psychopath. And a government led by a petty, drug-addicted dictator who stays in power thanks to war (and even profits from it) = a first-class psychopath.
The Cabinet of Ministers has mandated that men aged 18-60 must present a valid military registration document (typically in electronic form) when receiving consular services abroad.
The consul verifies its authenticity in real-time with the registry.
No valid military registration document = no services like: requests for passport issuance, notarizations, etc.
In other words, Ukraine is doing everything it can to make life as difficult as possible for ordinary Ukrainian goyim abroad, and to make it even harder for them to obtain a residence permit, permanent residency, or another passport (which is the worst-case scenario for the Ukrainian state).
If a man is not registered at all, the consul can register him for military service remotely, without a medical board, with the automatic generation of an electronic document.
If a man is not registered for military service at all, the consul can register him remotely, without a military medical examination, and an electronic document will be generated automatically.
Cool-techy-fancy, right?
There’s just one thing I can’t figure out—why are they doing this? Even if a man updates his information, they still won’t be able to forcibly remove him from Europe (at least not yet).
But still, the psychopathic government wouldn't be collecting this data for no reason...
Spent 3 days and ~$300 on Kimi K3 to audit the code of my favorite crypto wallet: @Unstoppable | Private Wallet (Android version).
Pleasantly surprised that I don't need to urgently move my funds to another wallet. 🤝🏻
Sent a responsible disclosure to the developers.
The prize for the best delirium of the day goes to this gentleman.
"Don't trust, verify" feels especially relevant in the modern world of LLMs.
It is cheaper to verify the code of the wallet you use yourself, than to lose money later.
He is partially right.
A cryptographic generator based on hardware noise provides more entropy, is faster, and is free from human errors like biased dice and/or uneven surfaces, etc.
The only scenario where manual entropy saves you is when the hardware RNG is compromised or weak (like the recent Coldcard incident).
In all other attacks firmware substitution, backdoors in the conversion code, side-channel leaks, or malicious signing logic - dice are useless because the device sees the final seed anyway.
To say "a passphrase is useless" is too categorical.
A written passphrase is not "just another seed", but a separate factor: it protects against the physical theft of a seed copy (an attacker with the seed phrase but without the passphrase will end up with an empty wallet) and allows for the use of decoy wallets.
Yes, it must be stored separately, and yes, human-generated passwords have low entropy.
But we have offline password managers like KeePassXC, so, "either memorize it or it's pointless" is a false dichotomy: nothing stops you from generating a decent passphrase using KeePassXC and storing it in a different location than the seed.
If someone says the problem is with the master password for KeePassXC itself, then I don't know what to say to people who can't come up with even one decent password of their head.
The idea of "multi-vendor multi-sig" sounds... interesting.
2-of-3 multisig:
key_1: hardware wallet from vendor A;
key_2: hardware wallet from vendor B;
key_3: either a third hardware wallet, a SeedSigner on an air-gapped device, or a paper backup;
What does this approach entail? -> You need to back up more things.
In addition to 3 seeds, you need to save the wallet descriptor (all three xpub keys, key order and derivation paths).
It is critical specifically when one key is lost. With all 3 seeds the coordinator will restore the wallet even without the descriptor, but with 2 seeds and no descriptor = it's impossible.
A copy of the descriptor is kept with each seed copy.
Its leakage does not steal money, but it does reveal all addresses and balances - it needs to be hidden just as carefully.

I’m sorry, but it needs to be said: the dice thing is retarded. Not just because it’s shitty UX, either.
Objectively, a correctly functioning ...
Every Bitcoin wallet (especially hardware ones) now claims to be better than Coldcard and that everything is fine with them.
Start the timer until the next vulnerability.
In the current crypto community, the ratio of marketers to cypherpunks is clearly not in favor of the latter.
Has the use of passwords to offset mnemonic phrases become the standard in just 1 day?
I'm amazed by the fact that some Bitcoiners still don't understand how to dump tainted BTC in 2026.
Oh, yes, fungibility... but perhaps I'll keep quiet on that.
The market for privacy-friendly laptops is screwed.
It's a choice between "sRGB 300 nits" or having Intel ME.
