Trust without consequences is just hope. Mostro 🧌 doesn't ask you to hope your counterparty behaves. Hold invoices, disputes, and incentives where everyone has skin in the game make honesty the profitable choice, not just the polite one. That's what a system built for strangers who'll never meet actually looks like. ⚡

🚀 Mostrix v0.3.2 is out! 🚀 — A focused maintenance release with important fixes for bond-gated trades, invoices, and account privacy. Update recommended for everyone. ⚡️🟣 — 🐛 What's fixed 🛡️ Bond-gated maker listings stay visible — maker orders waiting on the anti-abuse bond no longer disappear from the Order Chat sidebar. After a session restore they stay selectable, so you can always pay the bond or cancel. (#150) — 💸 Correct AddInvoice amount after taker bond — the buyer's invoice now uses the actual trade sats, fixing wrong amounts. (#175) — 🔍 Fee preflight on fixed-price take-sell — Mostro fee is checked before sending, avoiding failed sends. — 🔑 Stronger privacy — account-scoped requests now use an ephemeral key instead of your identity key. (#173) — 🙌 Thanks to Amuntri, Arkanoider and Forte11Cuba 📦 Full changelog: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostrix/compare/v0.3.1...0.3.2

When a Mostro 🧌 dispute opens, it's never an algorithm deciding who's right. The admin of that node, or a solver they've assigned, looks at the actual evidence. A real person makes the call, and the sats move based on what actually happened. More info at:

#Bitcoin #P2P #Mostro

The chat between buyer and seller on Mostro 🧌 runs client to client, end-to-end encrypted, using a shared key both sides generate together through ECDH cryptography. That key is known only to the two of you, not even the Mostro node can read the conversation. Every new trade generates a new key, so privacy holds even if you trade with the same person again. If a dispute opens, either side can choose to share that key with the mediator, who can then decrypt just that one conversation as evidence, nothing more. + info:

mostro.world reads the public Nostr events every Mostro 🧌 node already emits and turns them into real numbers: completed orders, volume, active currencies, open disputes. bestiario computes and signs those reports, and your browser verifies that signature, that's proof of who published the numbers, not proof they're correct. For that, run the open-source software yourself and reproduce the results. More info at:

Every trade you make on Mostro 🧌 stays between you and the person on the other side. No company logging your habits to sell to advertisers, no algorithm deciding what you're allowed to buy or sell. Encryption isn't an add-on here, it's just how the protocol works by default. That's what it looks like when privacy is the standard, not a premium plan. ⚡

You don't sign up for Mostro 🧌, your identity generates itself. The first time you open a client, it creates a set of Nostr keys for you: a public npub and a private nsec, no email or phone number attached to either one. That nsec works as your login, permanently. Back up the 12-word recovery phrase, and that identity stays yours no matter what device you use next. 📚

Recovering your Mostro 🧌 account comes down to 12 words. If you ever change devices or lose your phone, restoring your recovery phrase gets you right back in, your keys, your history, any trade in progress. Back it up before your first trade, and you're covered no matter what happens to your device. 🎥 Watch how it works: #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #Nostr #Mostro

🧌 Mostro Node v0.18.7 is out! 🛡️ New payout safety rails: in-flight payouts are now capped per destination and node-wide, so one destination can't tie up the whole node's liquidity. ⏱️ Payout routes now bound their total timelock, not just the last hop, and user payout invoices are capped at 144 blocks instead of 432 — funds stay locked for less time. 🛠️ Operators can cancel pre-trade orders through the CancelOrder gRPC, with a new pretrade_only flag so a cancel never falls through into a dispute cancel by mistake. 🔧 Maintenance mode follow-ups: drain counters now count only in-flight payments, so draining a node actually finishes instead of waiting on already-settled orders. 🐛 Also fixed: admin cancel no longer trips on hold invoices LND already canceled, and the info event now advertises the correct hold window. 📥 GitHub:

⚠️Update⚠️ We’re close to completing the node migration. Why has it taken so long? Because we need everyone with open orders to either complete or cancel them. Only once this happens can we switch over to the new Lightning node. If you currently have an open order on Mostro, please complete or cancel it so we can resume normal operations as soon as possible. That said, you can continue trading on Mostro, as there are currently 7 other community nodes operating at full capacity. This is yet another demonstration of Mostro’s resilience. Our motto is: From a single point of failure to multiple points of success.

🚨 Attention 🚨 The main Mostro node is currently undergoing migration. During this time, it will not be possible to create or take new orders. Orders that are already in progress will not be affected and will continue to operate normally. This interruption only affects the Mostro node that appears by default in the applications. All other Mostro nodes continue to operate normally. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working to restore the service as soon as possible.
