πŸš€ Today we’re supporting @Andreas Griffin from Bitcoin-Safe.Org with 1,000,000 satoshis for his work on Bitcoin Safe – a beginner-friendly multisig wallet for Mac, Windows, Linux, or anywhere Python runs.

Compact Block Filters? Another thing on my learning to doπŸ˜…
If you really want to go down the rabbit hole of software dependencies, there are 2 episodes I can recommend Bitcoin Explained - The Technical Side of Bitcoin: Episode 21: Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) In Bitcoin (And Why It Matters) Episode webpage: Media file: The Chaincode Podcast: Carl Dong and Build Systems - Episode 9 Episode webpage: Media file:
Thanks, just listend a bit to the BTC explained episode. Being a FOSS advocate for a long time (Linux 0.99pl8 on Slackware) I am a bit familiar with these concepts. I'll surely check out the other podcast as well.

Very much appreciate the new option to Electrum & Sparrow! Choices are good. Thank you πŸ™ Personally though, I would be cautious of trusting the encryption of Nostr DMs to protect the privacy of sensitive PSBTs.

Just had a longer conversation with Andreas, solving a problem with the 1.1 version and OSX (14.1) - solved now, he told me he will bring out 1.2 anytime soon. Great to work with true bitcoiners all over the world.

Thank you for this information! I'm glad to hear Nostr integration is opt in. I look forward to Nostr DM encryption becoming more robust in the future. Thank you again for all you're doing in support of bitcoin πŸ™
