📰 "Why Luxury Travelers Are Now Booking Their £50,000 Villas Two Weeks Out" by Rome You believe luxury travel requires months of planning. That the best villas are booked a year in advance.

The W3C Nostr Community Group just published did:nostr v0.1.0 as an official draft report—with over 30 implementations already in the wild. But here's what nobody's telling you: while everyone's watching centralized platforms stumble, the protocol quietly dropped four major NIP updates in five days, including an end-to-end encryption proposal that makes Signal look dated.

📰 "What Happened This Week In The Luxury World Travel" by NM team You think luxury travel in 2026 is about five-star hotels and suite upgrades—it‘s not. The data proves the most coveted thing a wealthy traveler can have right now is unscheduled time, with Southern Europe capturing 11.71% of global travel intent this week alone. But here’s what nobody‘s telling you: while everyone chases the same “slow travel” narrative, a handful of destinations are quietly rewriting the rules of high-end hospitality—and the window to get in before the rates double is closing faster than you think.

📰 "The BIP-110 Ghost That Won't Die—The Saga Continues" by NM team Last week I told you BIP-110 was dead. **0.31% hashpower. 2% node support. A proposal so rejected it made the 2017 blocksize wars look like a polite disagreement.** Then July 9 happened—and 17 mysterious blocks suddenly signaled support, triggering automatic monitoring alerts across the network. **Luke Dashjr just declared it's "too late to cancel," while Michael Saylor insists Bitcoin has "no spam problem" with fees at $0.30. The August deadline isn't just approaching—it's becoming a countdown to either a network split or the most humiliating governance defeat in Bitcoin's history.** Read:

But here's the part that will keep you up at night: even if the proposal fails, the damage to Bitcoin's governance might already be done.
