All readers are invited, but I'm especially calling out nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk nostr:npub1hlq93jdtkfg29a8s7fqzzzh82q3pkc20rxucwt4geh6e56wk3y2qxdz5wg and nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 with whom I have things I wish to discuss.

The ecash section of the nostr:npub13s5mxgws70rpxsug96jfvglggackjrxs2ehypwg0prjaxsek42sqd9l03e guide is live! Thanks to all the #Cashu and #Fedimint devs who helped out. I got to think through some of the unique nuances of ecash and suggest some design best practices. Check it out and let me know your thoughts: https://bitcoin.design/guide/how-it-works/ecash/introduction/

I had an idea to enhance the security of nostr signer apps like Amber nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5. A fully offline and super lightweight event signer companion app called Amber Secret Keeper. It only has permission to talk to Amber, which would handle all interaction with other apps and the user. It would rarely need updates and have a much smaller codebase.

FYI, Libre Relay – which implements replace by feerate – is now available on Umbrel: https://apps.umbrel.com/app/libre-relay

Sat down to create a list of 21 ways Bitcoin and Hodl Up align and am over 30 already. Turning these into shorts for now. Eventually, I'll combine all these and create a course for new-coiners. Cheers! https://m.primal.net/Mnki.mp4

There are many people in Bitcoin I’m thankful for, but this year, I have to highlight nostr:npub1py3zs4a0e6ercekfnlynmrj7hknd02keq84n3tmnc5y0z9mg2qfqscke9h and nostr:npub1rj7eh0eu3skwcyr5adpcjwxft9z4yjdspjryq6gynqw2j49f9a3quqjpw2.

When we talk about contributions, we devs often get the spotlight. But hyperbitcoinization requires so much more beyond coding.

Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of spending time with these two and witnessing the grit, motivation, and poise they bring to push Bitcoin forward.

Michael has casually helped hundreds (no exaggeration!) - most publicly nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv hackathon winners like nostr:npub128a25achgxk429gwuwy7tgrwh44z5s42js2260cxdstk7tpxv9ds497erh, nostr:npub1nxy56ame2gfnfj6fjylzxwq7r94phvgwt037mmvwr60qsqlaseksswlnxl and over 700 participants he registered...

And WebWorthy has created tons of incredible media and videos, often without recognition or asking for anything in return.

They represent the countless individuals who pour their skills and heart into this revolution - not just through code, but in every way they can.

Thankfully, some of their work is captured in a recent documentary WebWorthy released - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdd2SlBLRfU

Follow them - you won’t regret it. And tell Uncle: who are the people in Bitcoin you’re thankful for that deserve to be followed?
