Greenlight 0.3.1 by the Blockstream Lightning team is here.
This non-custodial service lets you hold your keys while we handle the node operations behind the scenes. Nodes now run Core Lightning v25.05 with the latest performance, protocol, and reliability improvements.
With this update, signer policies have been refined, especially around acceptable fee rates, an important step since CLN and the VLS Project use different data models. A zeroconf fix also ensures long-confirming channels will no longer be closed.

Greenlight v0.3.1 includes the new signer for CLN v25.05. This means faster commit/revoke messaging, tighter fee accuracy, and smoother channel management, all built on years of battle-tested Core Lightning development.

“This release has been in the making for quite some time. Congratulations to everybody involved. It’s a minor release in versioning but a big one in impact, automatically upgrading all nodes to CLN v25.05.”
- Christian Decker, Greenlight project lead

#BlockParty recap time:
Thanks to every pleb who got involved Saturday! Your passion makes the party happen. 🔥
🔸 We kicked off the 6-hour party with 105 PH/s
🔸 29 orders came in to add ~30 PH/s more
🔸 Team nostr:npub1x8xa3dw79urgev8pvuzdk7uupcrvqj9cwduq0yypzzkr0m3gkwks07q3eq solo miners (plebs mining with their own hardware) added 20 PH/s!
🔸 Rigly contributed some bonus PH/s, too
🔸 Our best share during the 6 hours was 660.58 G (which is well under current difficulty of 126.27 T).
🔸 104 direct buys = 104 unique hashrate buyers
The next party is Saturday, August 2 at 9:00 ET! We’ll hash for 6 hours and try to beat the beasts of AntPool, Foundry, Mara, etc.

⚡ Reply to this note that you’re *IN* for the party to get a zap! ⚡
🟧 🎉 Get into Saturday’s #BlockParty via direct buys of hashrate and/or hooking up your home miner. ⛏️
🔸 Fully gamified
🔸 Charity angle, if you so choose!
You only need 17 sats to join, but you can buy hashrate as many times as you want. There’s plenty of hashrate to go around and EVERY HASH COUNTS!
There are currently 3 Bitcoin charities signed up, since we love to give back:

If you choose one of them as your team, then they receive 10% of your reward if/when we hit a block. Wouldn’t that be cool?

Now that third parties are back on the menu, it might be a good time to revisit the history of political parties in the US.

Is there a place for advertising on Nostr?
Is it even possible without algorithms?
Can Nostr attract the creator economy without ad money flowing?
Genuinely curious what you think.
Thoughtful replies may be rewarded, in sats or Bitcoin, whichever you fancy.
I thinking, Sir 🤔

The developers of Samourai Wallet, Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill, which focuses on privacy for Bitcoin users were arrested.
Why?
Because privacy is apparently dangerous now. Let’s talk about this in today’s episode of Commute and Compute…
