Privacy tip for nostr:

If you want your notes to reach many relays, but you don't want to reveal your IP address to all of them, then connect to a proxy relay instead.

This way only the proxy will learn your IP address, but your note still reaches all known relays with only a minor latency.

Blastr is a free and open rust code to run such a relay as a cloudflare worker by #[0] & #[1]. https://github.com/MutinyWallet/blastr

To configure it, simply add the nostr.mutinywallet.com relay to your nostr client, and configure it to only upload, not download notes. Then disable upload for all other relays.

Write a new note, and see in a third party client if that note shows up. If yes, you can rest assured that many may read your notes, but only a few learn your IP address.

If you use a VPN or Tor ontop, then even the mutiny wallet and cloudflare server do not learn your IP.

The meme game on nostr is strong.

What's the privacy implications against cloudflare as an adversary?

1. Receive bitcoin

2. Wait

3. Spend bitcoin anonymously

Using Wasabi got pretty simple, coinjoin just happens by default in the background.

That's one of the important improvements of Wasabi 2.0, low hamming weight standard denominations help in two ways:

First, in a coinjoin to efficiently decompose any arbitrary input value into less than 8 output values. This avoids non-standard change output.

Second, in a single user transaction to efficiently consolidate only a few inputs to generate an arbitrary output value. This avoids payment change output.

A very interesting application of the #WabiSabi key verified anonymous credentials to facilitate dicrete log contracts.

The author really gets the flexible usecase of Wabisabi credentials.

My lightning address is configured, so zaps should work out of the box, right?
