@calle has it ever been considered to enable Touring complete (or closer to) spending condition scripts on cashu mints? As in smart contracts that could enable ZKPs for spending, allowing for something like Tornado Cash but on Bitcoin. #cashu

There's someone flooding all JoinMarket makers with !orderbook requests. Making them run out of storage with several GBs of logs per hour and also filling their CPU cycles. It does so through direct onion connections (last time was through directories) and with a bunch of nicks in parallel. I've implemented Tor level DDoS protection through a dynamic PoW requirement (0 in normal cases) in a branch of jm-ng as an experiment:

JoinMarket (Bitcoin CoinJoin) modern alternative implementation - feat: Add Tor PoW DoS defense for hidden services by m0wer · Pull Request #108 ...
 It only works with the alpha release of Tor, but an expected release might come soon. I didn't know about this feature from Tor, but it's really neat. Some more info here:

About the problem of deleting notes on Nostr, here's an idea: use a delegated key that rotates each month and expires. Once expired, request deletion from all your notes from all relays and then share the private key so that anyone can post bullshit with it, including yourself. You get plausible deniability for anything posted before last month and really encourage relays to delete all shit signed with that expired delegated key or they will get spammed to death. This might be a stupid idea. Please go ahead and let me know why.

Fixed my zap receiving ability by switching to Coinos. Will leave the fight of getting my self hosted lnbits working fast enough for later.

I've updated
JoinMarket Fidelity Bond Simulator
 to include some optimistic ROI figures. With the assumptions of 2,000 JoinMarket CoinJoins monthly of an average size of 2M sats. Then, estimate how often each offer is picked and see the profitability divided by the bond size (not value). As if it were some kind of savings account. And only considering the locked coins in the bond, not the liquidity in the mixdepths. It's really interesting to see that the optimal is definitely not being the largest bond! Since we assume 8 makers per round, it's “easy” to be chosen there often even without a large bond. You can see that the “smartest” bonds are 4.4 BTC (number 1 in ROI) and 2 BTC (number 3 in ROI). Have fun with the tool! image #JoinMarket #CoinJoin
