Everyone on Nostr is excited about Cashu and sleeping on Fedimints. This is unsurprising because with Fedimints, you need to build absolute trust that a (pseudo)anonymous Cashu mint operator could never achieve. Fantastic work, folksânever stop.
"If you donât believe me or donât get it, I donât have time to convince you." - Satoshi Nakamoto, 2010
Satoshi didnât waste time convincing people. He built the future.
Now itâs our turn.
đ
Satoshi knew that Bitcoin would one day be used for real-world payments - fast, direct, unstoppable.
In fact, that famous quote?
He was talking about vending machines.
That future is arriving.

Wallet of Satoshi is proud to carry his name.
And now weâre announcing a major milestone:
Your keys, your coins. Self-custody. Lightning-fast.
Our self-custody wallet is entering open beta.

Join the beta now - and yes, we're back in the U.S. too!

Try the beta.
Tell us what you love. Tell us whatâs missing.
Help shape the wallet youâll want to recommend. đ
Awesome installation! One thing that stands out is that there is no way to use a private Bitcoin/Electrs node.
Wen BTC on signal???
No.
Empires are built when you seek control. Bitcoin isnât here to construct empires; itâs here to demolish exit doors for them.
You donât need an empire when you possess freedom, scarcity, and truth.
Itâs revealing how tail emission advocates behave like central bankers: âTrust us, we know the future. Weâll inflate preemptively, just in case.â
Sound familiar?
âThe economy needs stimulus.â
âItâs just 2%.â
âWeâll taper later.â
Same rhetoric, different actors.
Hereâs the undeniable truth:
Easy money fuels bloated governments, false growth, and endless bailouts.
Hard money builds civilization.
Bitcoin is for those who refuse to beg rulers for a system fix.
Itâs for those who walk away confidently and never look back.
Not building an empire.
Creating a way out.
Tail emission advocates sound like they know the future, warning against problems that don't yet exist, much like central planners.
Why Do Tail Emission Advocates Sound Just Like Central Planners?
Have you ever noticed how every argument for tail emission starts with a prediction?
- âFees wonât be enough.â
- âMiners will quit.â
- âBitcoin wonât survive without perpetual rewards.â
- âUsers will demand inflation later.â
Hereâs the problem:
Theyâre not addressing a real failure. Theyâre trying to fix a problem that exists only in their imagination.
Thatâs not decentralizationâthatâs central planning in disguise.
Bitcoin already has everything it needs:
â Dynamic difficulty adjustment
â Growing fee markets
â Voluntary participation
â A fixed supply of 21 million BTC
And itâs working. Right now. Without any intervention.
The hard cap isnât just some number; itâs the social contract that gave Bitcoin its legitimacy in the first place.
Mess with that, and youâre not just âtweaking incentives"âyouâre reshaping what Bitcoin truly is.
If you believe in decentralization, you donât demand control just in case.
Trust the free market to adaptâlike it always has.
TL;DR:
Beware anyone saying, âWe must change Bitcoin today to save it tomorrow.â Thatâs how fiat systems justify sacrificing principles for short-term gains.
Nostr was mentioned on my favorite cryptography podcast today, Security, Cryptography, Whatever â they didn't spend a lot of time on it, but here are some highlights:
> Itâs federated and itâs European. I bet it sucks.
> Itâs some Ayahuasca inspired initiative from. From Messrs. Dorsey et al.
> Yeah, sure, itâs decentralized and federated, but like their proposal for encrypted end to end encrypted DMs was just bad by itself.
> When I reviewed this, my description of this was it looks almost exactly like Nebuchadnezzar [https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/], which is like a fractal of things that could have gone wrong with like a complete ecosystem of like a secure messaging system. They found flaws in almost every component of that system and then tried to leverage them as far as they could.
You can read/listen here: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2025/07/29/vegas-baby/
They also mentioned a talk that's going to be delivered at blackhat on August 9th which sounds super interesting:
> In this session, we unveil the first comprehensive security study of Nostr and its popular client applications, demonstrating how subtle flaws in cryptographic design, event verification, and link previews allow an attacker to forge "encrypted" direct messages (DMs), impersonate user profiles, and even leak the confidential message from "encrypted" DMs.
Here's the link to the agenda entry for the talk: https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/#not-sealed-practical-attacks-on-nostr-a-decentralized-censorship-resistant-protocol-45726
I'm looking forward to learning how we've screwed up â there aren't a lot of cryptographers here, and I know that open protocols make security even harder to maintain. Maybe we've screwed up irretrievably, but I'd rather know now than later.
I'm incredibly excited to finally share something that's been in the works for months:
As some of you know, I've been working on a new show called Finding Home. The idea was to create the show I wanted to watch: a Bourdain-style exploration of food and travel, but through the eyes of Bitcoiners.
It draws a parallel between the immigrant's search for a physical home and the bitcoiner's search for a sovereign one. The pilot, directed by the brilliant nostr:npub1rj7eh0eu3skwcyr5adpcjwxft9z4yjdspjryq6gynqw2j49f9a3quqjpw2 features the story of Shakib Farrah nostr:npub1wvc8u63ek6mvuykz9jcw5eqquxvheetxms4ph2p43wwgensh06mqg900ea , a fellow pleb who runs an amazing Somali restaurant, Safari, in Harlem.
Here's the trailer.
The full episode drops Friday on IndeeHub. This is a 100% self-funded project so far, so it'll be on lightning enabled PPV to help me make the next one.

A I oh
Replace âcreditâ with âslave" and everything will make sense.
Radon would like to have a word
Run a pruned knots node
Itâs like a coin in a country fair that is redeemable for bitcoin; you have to trust the fair operators not to rug you, but you get high privacy because there is no KYC
Not your kinetic hole puncher, not your keys, not your coins.
Q: What does a post-screwdriver world look like?
A: Like a world with a screwgun
âThe grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.â
Monad-style modeling lets you compose dynamic and non-linear workflows, and you can sometimes parallelize independent computations inside those monads. But when monads carry dependencies (state, effects, context), you still chain operations: each result often needs to flow into the next, even if the path is dynamic. So even outside strict sequential models, the âengine rebuildâ problem remainsâat every decision point, you often need data produced by previous steps.
In practice, modeling can be flexible and dynamic, but reasoning about one problem usually hits the same wall: not every step can run in true parallel, because youâre still passing unique âingredientsâ from step to step.
I love it! Iâm curious: Does this model suggest any testable predictions? Iâve always heard thatâs what sets a scientific theory apart, so I'm just wondering how you see it.
