⚡️ For nostr:npub1fyej2m42xz3sp88m8w28hf8a00akxw453z388n46869e9x699apspr3djs I wrote a new #LightningFocus article!
Privacy problems with lightning addresses? Bastien Teinturier's from Acinq recent proposals offer solutions! And more about better lightning native invoice options with #BOLT12!
And learn more how a bitcoiner Hugo Ramos lost about 4 BTC due to a security problem in a plugin on his lightning node and about what Stable Channels are and how software developer Tony Klaus opened the first Stable Channel on bitcoin mainnet!
Lastly I will discuss a number of highlights from the #nostr world that are more than worth to try yourself! 😉

"There's nothing at the protocol level that prevents people to build apps just as good as Twitter or as Instagram." - William Casarin
nostr:npub1ywc6w8qjnm6nlh8ct7qacg9qzl83aappkljkf8yyhnwa7eema4psjgw6nr and I talked to nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s about the Nostr, the Damus app and everyting decentralised!
We talked about:
🔸 The journey of William from a 10-year-old programming enthusiast to challenging the status quo with Nostr and Damus.
🔸 In-depth insights on how Nostr ensures censorship resistance and user sovereignty, standing in stark contrast to traditional social media.
🔸 The future of Nostr and how it could revolutionize not just social media but a plethora of online applications.
🔸 William's perspective on the growth and adoption of the Lightning Network, particularly through the integration of "Zaps" in Nostr.
Why This Matters:
🔥 Understand the critical role of technologies like Nostr in safeguarding free speech and user autonomy online.
🔥 Explore the synergies between Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and Nostr, and how they're shaping a new digital landscape.

You can also read more about Universal Money Address, a service from David Marcus (Lightspark) and Bakkt, to receive and hold fiat money, while using the bitcoin lightning network as a payment rail. This also has the potential to spark discussion 😉
And why the #Bitcoin derivatives exchange Kollider stopped its activities.
