Join me to test out #SilentPayment, #BIP352 style, now.
In production, like a real highly regarded degen, of course đ.
My silent bitcoin address is:

Where to try this out you ask?
Like nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg it works in the browser as a PWA.
This is the url: https://app.silentium.dev
So this is a new format of on-chain bitcoin addresses? What makes it âsilentâ or like can you say more about this? The PWA is nice and sleek i must say. But would love some more info. The âaboutâ section wasnât super helpful đ
Itâs good for privacy to use a new address every time that you send money to someone.
The receiver should give you a new address each time. Or the wallet software should generate a new address for you each time (like some wallets do by default nowadays).
But what if you have a static website and canât update your wallet address? Or what if we want convenience like on Lightning with static LNURL addresses that can be reused ?
This BIP352 makes this possible. The way I understand it (I didnât write the code) is like this: The address you see locks funds on chain. Every time someone sees that a deposit was made to his address he can redeem to a new address. This increases privacy.
