More frequently asked questions about Mostro ๐ŸงŒ โ“ Are my operations private? Yes. All communication is end-to-end encrypted. Mostro uses different keys for each operation, which prevents linking your trades to each other. There's an advanced privacy mode in which not even the node itself can know which operations belong to you. Node operators have no access to any personal information of the users. โ“ What makes Mostro different from other P2P exchanges? Three fundamental differences: ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Real censorship resistance: Mostro is a protocol, not a platform or a company. No central server to shut down, no app to take down, no database to confiscate. It runs on Nostr. ๐Ÿ”‘ Privacy by design: no accounts, emails, or persistent identities. Each operation uses different keys and communication is end-to-end encrypted. โšก Minimal and non-permanent custody: Mostro doesn't hold funds. It uses Lightning hold invoices: sats remain locked in the seller's wallet until they confirm receipt of the fiat. #Bitcoin #Nostr #P2P #Privacy #Mostro image

Millions of people are traveling to the 2026 World Cup ๐Ÿ† They cross borders, exchange currencies, send money home from another country. The traditional banking system charges fees, takes days, and on some corridors simply doesn't work. Lightning arrives before the bank opens โšก Mostro ๐ŸงŒ works in any country where there's an active node. The traveling fan already knows how to move. #WorldCup2026 #Bitcoin #Lightning #Nostr #Mostro

Mostro ๐ŸงŒ has no owner. The protocol is free. The code is open. Anyone can run a node, build a client, or propose improvements. No company can buy it, shut it down, or change its rules without consensus. What works today will keep working tomorrow, regardless of who's behind it. That's what it means to build infrastructure that lasts โšก #Bitcoin #OpenSource #Nostr #Cypherpunk #P2P

In most services, privacy is a setting you can turn on. In Mostro ๐ŸงŒ it's the default mode. Every trade uses different keys. Communications travel encrypted through Nostr. The node doesn't know who you are, it only coordinates the trade. Privacy isn't a setting. It's the architecture. #Bitcoin #Privacy #Nostr #Cypherpunk #P2P

Mostro Mobile v1.3.0 ๐ŸงŒโšก What matters in this release: ๐ŸŒ New payment methods across Africa: Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, and Nigeria. Mostro keeps growing where it matters. ๐Ÿ”Œ The app now speaks protocol v2 with the node. It detects the version automatically on connect, no setup needed. Better communication, more stability. โš–๏ธ If your bond gets slashed, the app now tells you why: dispute or timeout. ๐Ÿ” Restore now waits for a real node connection before recovering your session.

"Trust us" is what every company says. Mostro ๐ŸงŒ says something different: verify it yourself. The code is open. Anyone can read it, audit it, and propose changes. Nothing is hidden about how the protocol works. That's not a marketing differentiator. It's the only real way to guarantee that a system does what it says it does โšก #Bitcoin #OpenSource #Cypherpunk #Nostr

Mostro ๐ŸงŒ uses Nostr to communicate. What is that? Nostr is a decentralized messaging protocol. Nobody controls it. There's no central server that can censor it or shut it down. When you buy or sell on Mostro, messages between you and your counterpart travel encrypted through Nostr. Nobody can read them. Nobody can block them โšก That's why Mostro doesn't need a central database or a company behind it. The protocol exists as long as people use it. #Bitcoin #Nostr #P2P #Decentralized

Decentralization is not a technical idea. It's a response to something concrete: systems that fail, accounts that get frozen, countries left outside the global financial system. Mostro ๐ŸงŒ doesn't exist to talk about decentralization. It exists because decentralization solves real problems for real people. Every node running the protocol is a piece of infrastructure that no company or government can shut down โšก #Bitcoin #Cypherpunk #Nostr #P2P

The person who uses Mostro ๐ŸงŒ isn't necessarily a developer or a Bitcoin expert. It's someone who at some point decided they'd rather understand how their money works than blindly trust whoever manages it. Someone who values knowing their sats are in their own wallet, that the protocol is auditable, and that no company can freeze their account. That attitude has a name: financial sovereignty. Mostro exists for the people who already made that decision โšก #Bitcoin #Cypherpunk #Nostr #P2P #Sovereignty
