Off the top of my head:
• Inevitable data leaks put you at risk of attack
• Capital gains
• Unrealized gains
• EO-6102-style confiscation
Long term? KYC is going to cost you more, so neither.
This is awesome. Maybe an API would be helpful so wallets could ping it every now and then and warn users of scary mints?
Cashu question: What’s the difference between the “legacy” format (cashuA…) and the “new” version (cashuB…) in nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch? I noticed it when trying to claim tokens with nostr:npub1cashuq3y9av98ljm2y75z8cek39d8ux6jk3g6vafkl5j0uj4m5ks378fhq, which only accepts the legacy one.
#AskNostr #DeezNuts 🌰🐿️
The legacy format v3 encodes the JSON with base64_urlsafe with the prefix cashuA.
The v4 format uses smaller JSON keys and adds CBOR (converts the JSON to binary) then encodes as base64_urlsafe with the prefix cashuB.
This results in smaller sized tokens.
The prefix was my suggestion to make the difference both human and machine readable, iirc.

This happened in 1936, three years before WW2 started.

Most people play music in their car stereo louder than I listen to books in my earbuds. For me it's just like a passenger chatting next to me. I can hear surroundings just fine.
I do this all the time, why am I an idiot, please?
I assume this is on the list?

Yeah, I think it's cool and all, but it's a massive code base and I don't have the old one to compare it to. I think being totally anon without a nym is more sus. If it's just the wallet without whirlpool then there's nothing illegal about it. It's just a Bitcoin wallet.
I'll wait some time to see if samourai fanbois get rugged. It might take a long time for me to trust it unless some people I trust are willing to audit the changes.
Meanwhile, my samourai wallet on my own dojo keeps working just fine.
Hey nostr, I was the "emoji" spammer and while it probably went overboard my hope was to help incentivize people to help solve the spam problem. That's why it was targetting devs. Hopefully it was not too disruptive to ordinary users.
Anyways, I think the point was made and some good discussions have started so I've gone ahead and shut it down. If anyone is curious I can share the code.
BTW I'm not the "ReplyGuy."

I'm curious to see the code
Americans always think there is no one else in the world! 🤣
WTF is Babylon? Sounds like shitcoinery!
Nice! Thanks! Where can I learn more about arx?
I follow devs. If you write code, comment below for a follow. I want you in my feed.
Thanks.
Mempool Watch 👀
Check your mempool and the recent blocks... you will see hundreds of high fee transactions that are all the same... let's explore

The txs have a 0.05 BTC input and are being spent with a fixed 64,000 sat fee, overpaying by 42x!
In total, this entity just spent almost 0.4 BTC in fees!
And it wasn't a consolidation so they will spent the same in the future if they keep their hardcoded fee.

All of the transactions have a P2TR tapscript which implements a 1-of-1 AND 6-of-9 multisig
One master key has to sign and in addition any 6 of the remaining 9 must sign.
This complex setup secured the 30 BTC that just moved in 600 individual transactions!
And this entity isn't done! They have another 30 BTC held in unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), all with with the same scriptPubKey.
