Guide on How to Use PayJoin (BIP78)

PayJoin (P2EP) is a privacy-enhancing Bitcoin transaction protocol. It helps obscure the transaction trail by having both the sender and receiver contribute inputs to the transaction. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Understand the Basics

• What is PayJoin?

A protocol allowing sender and receiver to combine inputs, improving privacy by making the transaction indistinguishable from regular ones.

• Why Use It?

• Enhances privacy for both sender and receiver.

• Breaks common transaction tracking heuristics.

Step 2: Check Prerequisites

• Wallet Support

Ensure both sender and receiver use wallets that support PayJoin (e.g., Wasabi, Samourai, BTCPay Server, BlueWallet).

• Merchant Support

If sending to a merchant, confirm they accept PayJoin.

Step 3: Sender’s Setup

1. Choose a Wallet

Use a PayJoin-compatible wallet.

2. Prepare Inputs

Ensure sufficient Bitcoin balance in your wallet.

3. Initiate Payment

When scanning or entering the merchant’s invoice, ensure the wallet recognizes it as PayJoin-enabled.

Step 4: Receiver’s Setup (Merchant/Individual)

1. Install PayJoin-Compatible Server

• Use tools like BTCPay Server or a compatible wallet with PayJoin integration.

• Configure your payment system to enable PayJoin.

2. Generate Invoice

Create a standard invoice as usual. PayJoin functionality is embedded seamlessly.

Step 5: Execute the PayJoin Transaction

1. Sender Sends Transaction Proposal

The sender’s wallet proposes a transaction and sends it to the receiver’s PayJoin endpoint.

2. Receiver Adds Inputs

The receiver’s wallet or server adds its inputs to the transaction, creating a PayJoin transaction.

3. Transaction Broadcast

The updated transaction is signed and broadcast to the Bitcoin network.

Step 6: Verify Transaction

• Confirm the transaction is successful on the Bitcoin blockchain.

• Both sender and receiver should verify the amount and confirm privacy enhancements.

Step 7: Best Practices for Enhanced Privacy

• Avoid reusing Bitcoin addresses.

• Use CoinJoin or other mixing services for additional privacy if needed.

• Regularly update wallet software for the latest PayJoin support.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly use PayJoin for more private Bitcoin transactions.

WHEN WE LOOK BACK IT WILL BE OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE THAT NOSTR WAS WHAT UNLOCKED THE GLOBAL BITCOIN CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

probably just run it through insurance 🔁

Will do, but as I was thinking there are very few (if any) living “on a bitcoin standard” as defined by the most devout Anon’s….

Would love to hear how you live on a bitcoin standard without KYC.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR.

LIVE FREE. 🫡

We need better nonKYC solutions. Atomic swaps.

see my latest posts on concerns buying P2P.

For those that are living 100% on a bitcoin standard (which I assume means having paycheck deposited into coinbase and using their debit card?) what do you do for bills that won’t accept a CC for payment?

Bitcoin got to where it is today by preparing for adversarial enviroments.

NOT by taking victory for granted.

PRO TIP: YOU CAN SIMPLY USE BITCOIN AS FREEDOM MONEY. NOBODY CAN STOP YOU.
