Don’t get me wrong: it’s easier to keep fees low on Liquid than L1 #bitcoin but getting into and out of LBTC incurs costs as well. So these few gatekeepers (like nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 ) are now setting the price 🤔

“True” peer-to-peer would mean using bitcoin and a non-custodial option like StableSats. 🤔

But I still call this progress 😊

My mother is close to 80. Out of the blue she said to me recently “maybe I should put my savings in #Bitcoin” ?

I’m waiting on nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 to come to Europe because I don’t trust her to do self custody and I don’t want to carry that responsibility for her. She is (for her age) quite up to date. She used her iPhone and iPad daily and even knows how to use a password manager. But still, she’s close to 80 so I want things to be zero hassle for her.

Announcing my latest pet project, Helm Wallet.

I believe there’s a huge gap between the ease of use of Wallet of Satoshi and the self-custody of Phoenix. To minimize this gap, I created a new web app, a wallet that has the self-custody of Phoenix and is easy to use as WoS.

Helm is a Liquid wallet that uses Boltz submarine swaps to disguise itself as a Lightning wallet that even your grandma can use.

But it has a cost.

All transactions must go on the Liquid chain and also Boltz must earn something for the service they provide, so there are fees to be paid:

- The minimum cost for sending a payment is around 200 sats;

- The average cost for sending **or receiving** a payment is around 400 sats plus 0.1% of the amount;

- Transactions between Helm wallets don’t pay Boltz fees but can take up to 1 minute to complete;

- Amounts are limited between 1.000 and 25.000.000 sats.

You can try it (testnet if you want) on https://helm-wallet.pages.dev/

Code is available at https://github.com/bordalix/helm-wallet

The web app is completely independent, no server required. You can clone it, build it and run it from your own computer. Everything runs on the browser.

Critics and suggestions are welcome.

I am dreaming of a time where we could put offers for liquid ₿ and Lightning channels on #nostr and earn a small % for our trouble. This way a wallet isn’t depending on a central exchange like nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 🤔

Functionality wise, you copied nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q , right?

Are they open source? Maybe there is more to learn from looking at their code 🤔

What? lol You can see the whole thing. I paid with Primal. It’s the business that has WoS.

It worked flawlessly.

Moel 1y ago

Oowh then I saw wrong 😑

Moel 1y ago

It didn’t work. She paid with nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq , not with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

I don’t know why. It could have worked I guess 🤔

I am confusion. What is this?

Moel 1y ago

#asknostr #nostr I want to use fewer relay because I think some of the bugs I see (specifically I can follow but not unfollow people) are caused by too many relays and some not supporting all NIP’s maybe?

So how can I see which relays are the best for me to follow?

Like a top 5, but based on which ones my peers post to (I don’t care about relay “size” and I don’t mind paying).

I just want to know which ones I need to connect to at the least ?

ETFs Update: Net outflow of 910 BTC due to GBTC. Reduced inflows to other ETFs continue.

Moel 1y ago

Possibly the net inflow will pick up again after the Halvening hype next week 🤔

I do worry a bit about diminishing inflows. On the other hand: I don’t want Americans to own all the bitcoins 😂

Zoom out. The climate has always been changing.

Exactly 👍

I do believe our climate is changing. And I do believe we are (partially) causing this.

But I am optimistic that we can as a species survive.
