Mostro is a peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange built on the Nostr protocol and powered by the Lightning Network, enabling secure and decentralized trading without intermediaries. This release introduces a hotfix to restrict order releases to specific statuses like “fiat sent” or “dispute,” adds LNURL management for buy orders, and includes a self-referencing naddr coordinate system for orders.
