The old financial system is dead. Mostro 🧌 walks through the graveyard and wakes up everyone still buried in bank branches, KYC forms, and permission slips. Time to get up. Spooky season is here 🎃⚡

🧌 Mostro Node v0.19.1 is out! 🤖 Serbero, Mostro's AI dispute assistant, is now registered and announced by the node. It helps guide users through a dispute and can flag the case to the solver, but the resolution is always made by a human. 🛡️ Fixes around bond invoice handling, hold invoices, and dispute writes, tightening how funds and disputes are tracked internally. Update recommended for node operators. 📦 GitHub:

Mostro 🧌 doesn't set one fee for everyone, each node does. Every node decides its own trading fee and order limits, and you can check both from your client before you trade. No surprise charges buried in fine print, just a rate you see up front. Compare a couple of nodes before your next trade, you might find a better deal. English: Español: #Bitcoin #Lightning #P2P #Mostro

A hold invoice is the reason Mostro 🧌 can run escrow without ever touching your sats. When you sell, your sats lock in your own wallet through this invoice, visible but untouchable, until the trade actually completes. If something goes wrong, they return to you automatically. If it goes right, they release the moment you confirm. No custodian holding funds in between, just Lightning doing exactly what it was built to do. Got questions about how this works?

⚠️ 🧌 Mostro Node v0.19.0 is out, this one is important. 🚨 Protocol v1 (gift-wrap) is removed. If your client is on an old version, update it now, orders and chat need protocol v2 (NIP-44) to work with this node. ✅ Makers can now cancel before paying the bond. ✅ Disputes close automatically on a cooperative cancel or when the seller releases. ✅ Restoring a session now also returns your counterparty's trade pubkey. ⏱️ Bond invoices now expire on time, and makers get a clear deadline to pay theirs. 📦 GitHub:

Mostro 🧌 doesn't force one single way to be private. You can trade in reputation mode, building a rating your counterparts can see, or in full private mode, where not even the node you're using can link your orders to each other. Same protocol, same encrypted chat, you choose how much you reveal. Which mode fits how you trade? #Bitcoin #Nostr #Privacy #Mostro

When your community runs its own Mostro 🧌 node, the fees stay local too. Instead of paying a cut to some exchange abroad, your node's fees fund your own community, moderation, growth, whatever you decide. The value P2P trading generates locally, stays local. That's a different kind of infrastructure to build around. Apply here:

Not your keys, not your coins. Every bitcoiner's heard it a thousand times. Mostro 🧌 takes that mantra seriously even mid-trade: your sats stay in your own wallet through a hold invoice until the deal actually closes. No exchange holding your funds "just for a second" while you wait. Same principle, applied to P2P. ⚡

Getting started with Mostro 🧌 needs less than you'd think. Just a Lightning wallet. You don't need to already understand Nostr, most clients generate a new private key for you automatically every time you trade, no manual setup required, and those keys are yours alone the whole time. That's it. Pick a client and you're ready to trade P2P. More info at:

#Bitcoin #Lightning #P2P #Mostro

A trade on Mostro 🧌 runs on clear timers, not vibes. If nobody takes your order within 24 hours, it expires. Once someone does, the buyer has 15 minutes to send an invoice, then the seller has 15 minutes to pay the hold invoice, miss either window and the order gets canceled. At the end, buyer and seller rate each other, building the reputation you carry into your next trade. Structure, without a company running it. #Bitcoin #Lightning #P2P #Mostro

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. ⚡
