Yeah that's totally understandable. I guess you might try to crowdfund this, but I'm really not sure it'd work 😅
ladies and gents, welcome to the soft launch of NOSTR.EU
https://nostr.eu - a njump instance with translations to all(soon) european languages to help bring nostr closer to people who don't speak english.
translations are all AI based so locals are very welcome to send in the fixes (PRs most welcome - https://github.com/nostr-net/njump).
Languages are still being added (bullying over zaps works).
From the above phrasing I thought it would also translate notes. That'd be neat, although you'd have to figure out who pays for the translations, especially since newbies probably don't have sats. Maybe ads?
Merci pour cette bulle artistique quotidienne 🙏
The customary pizza has been eaten.
We'll probably cover liquidity sourcing at the end (so around 5 pm CET), in case it's more compatible with your schedule. And either ways replay will be available ;)
Another abduction attempt in Paris.
🇫🇷 Une nouvelle tentative d'enlèvement à Paris.
Holy shit it's working! Paid a 100k sats Lightning invoice from two different Cashu mints at the same time.
Enter atomic multinut payments.

All Cashu wallets let you use multiple mints. To reduce rug risk, we encourage users to leave only small amounts on each mint. This introduces a big UX challenge which forces users to distribute funds on different mints in a smart way. It's particularly problematic when you're trying to pay a bigger Lightning invoice from your small balances. Who has time for that?
The Lightning protocol allows nodes to split a single payment HTLC into multiple parts to increase the chance of reaching the destination, called Multi-Path Payments (MPP). Typically, that's done from one sender to one receiver. What if... you can just break the rules?
A multinut payment originates from multiple Lightning nodes to pay a single invoice, atomically. Even if none of your mint balances can cover an invoice, as long as your total balance is large enough, you can pay the invoice.
I don't think anyone was crazy enough to do this before. Pretty sure what you see here is the first invoice being paid using a CLN and an LND node at the same time. Amazing work by the team, special thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsw8lr88lzln8x92ng073m4v72kglf9edhxvk8eztg3ftny98f46dgpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsk9y93w.

This is huge and completely redefines the landscape on Cashu v fedimint
All your eggs spread across many baskets that can be used in concert, or all your eggs in one big basket protected by multiple entities?
In Cash, one mint rugging means you lose all that is on this mint, but only that. On Fedimint you lose nothing until a majority of guardians rug, in which case in you lose everything.
Now that both approaches achieve the same level of practicality, the determing factor is your threat model. And that's great 🔥
If I'm not mistaken Fornelli is the small town that made the news recently for its high number of physical shops accepting Bitcoin. You can check this on nostr:nprofile1qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tck28qzu, the number of merchants is very high given the size of the city.
Huge props to whoever started this ⚡

Bien reçu Monsieur Nakamoto nostr:nprofile1qqsp4gwmhm4sfh0rpc085q8ha6nkq42fu7rjd4f4yt3ejz4xsqylgvcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtc7ruwxl, merci ! Encore plus beau en vrai qu'en photo 🤩 
Wanna come to our ̶p̶o̶d̶c̶a̶s̶t̶ study group? We just had this discussion (Liquid, Fedimint, Cashu & Lightning Auditor mentioned). Would love to go a bit deeper with you on the loop!

On Tuesday we'll take a look at Preimage Piracy 🏴☠️
If you want to get a more practical understanding of it, I created a small exercise, leveraging Polar.
The idea of the Polar exercises is to play with a local, fake Lightning Network, and write small scripts to control nodes in this network.
Ideally, if you intend to try it, do so before the live next Tuesday 😉

We'll also cover some news from the Lightning ecosystem ⚡️
Le "cloud" ça veut dire un serveur tiers entre les deux clients. Donc dans le contexte du transfert de fichier, p2p et "sans cloud" me paraissent à peu près équivalent.
You guys do realize civil asset forfeiture **is** a budget-neutral way to stack coins into the stockpile, right?
The guitar solo in the second half of Lynyrd Skynyrd's song "Freebird" is batshit crazy #MusicFriday
If I can hear the solo in my head from seeing the thumbnail, then it's a pretty darn good solo
You won't know, you'll be routing sats. Independent of your Lightning implementation.
