Hey #nostriches looking for anyone willing to advise on creating #bitcoin economies.
The city of Columbus Ohio is a great target for bitcoin adoption. It has become a test market for many businesses large and small due to the demographics of the city matching the U.S nationwide.
Successful adoption in this city could filter through businesses to other locations and serve as an example leading to a wider impact on the country at large. Ohio also has some pro-bitcoin legislation in the works.
As of now it’s just myself taking on this initiative in my spare time, and I’m just getting started, but I’d love to make it happen. If you’ve been a part of bootstrapping bitcoin circular economies or local education I’d love to hear from you.

Bunch of doom and gloom lately.
Our lifetime has largely been watching a decent world continue to get worse, and it can be hard to find the good.
Take in the small joys as much as possible. A long walk in the nice weather will do wonders for inspiring some hope.
We can build something better.

Have you been thinking about starting a new local #Bitcoin Circular Economy project? Maybe you’re already hosting meet-ups, on-boarding merchants to #BTC or other activities that are components of a Bitcoin circular economy, and now it’s time to take the next step. This may be a great opportunity for your group! 👇

Let’s make 2024 the year of the Bitcoin Circular Economy!
Please help spread the word. This is just the beginning! ✊

Love to see this, great initiative!
This has been my thinking lately. I think finishing work on a decentralized coordinator is a worthy goal, but can’t speak to the feasibility. I’d hate to see the whirlpool implementation fade away, it’s the best privacy tech we’ve had so far
Could you explain the privacy implications of connecting with an LSP?
Olympus and Zeus are getting a lot of attention right now, I was considering finally opening my own channels
Ah I’m new to the embedded node myself, I’ve been exploring lsp’s and was about to try Olympus. On mine it’s offered upon first lightning receive attempt
Go withnostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 , they run the Olympus LSP. App can control remote node or embedded, channels with Olympus are very easy fee is10k sats up to 1% of channel balance. Next release has batch channel opens and signing devices for on chain.
nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 tag didn’t seem to work. But Zeus and Olympus make it easy
What are some good LSPs? Need to get some incoming liquidity to move some funds from various wallets

Appreciate that, I don’t have the answer myself so I’ll see what I can find
Excellent I’ve been waiting for something just like this, any chance we can get it packaged for umbrel?
Sad day, but appreciate the quick work. I’m trying to catch up this morning but so far I see work on decentralized soroban/coordinator was incomplete?
Everything actionable you need to know about what this indictment means for you as a Samourai Wallet (SW) or Whirlpool user 👇
As a Samourai Wallet user (no Dojo)
Unfortunately, the architecture of SW meant that your xpub (a master public key, allowing anyone holding it to derive all your past/present/future Bitcoin addresses) was at some point in time held by Samourai, and could now possible in the hands of the DOJ.
Though it's a worst-case scenario, you should assume that your xpub was compromised, and thus all previous mixes you have done have been unwound and are now traceable. You should also assume that the gov can now derive all past/present/future addresses of yours and track movement of funds if so desired.
In addition, Samourai's coordinator and backend sync server was seized, and so SW will no longer sync, show received funds, or allow sending funds out. As such, you have to migrate funds to another wallet like @SparrowWallet following the docs here:
https://docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore-recovery#export-to-external-wallet
In addition, I would recommend migrating funds to a new seed phrase to prevent anyone holding the xpub from seeing all future received/spent funds.
You should also disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed.
As a Samourai Wallet user (using your own Dojo)
Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo users xpubs were compromised.
You will still be able to sync/send/receive from your Samourai Wallet app, but should also migrate funds eventually as no further updates will come out for Samourai Wallet. If you want to migrate, use the docs below:
https://docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore-recovery#export-to-external-wallet
You should, however, disable automatic updates in the Play Store (if used) to ensure no malicious updates are pushed.
As a Sparrow Wallet user
Thankfully, you avoided having your xpub potentially compromised as well. The worst case scenario for you is that your previous mixes may not have the full anon set you expected if non-Dojo/Sparrow users xpubs were compromised.
There is no real need to rotate to a new wallet etc, and Sparrow is still an excellent option. Unfortunately you will no longer be able to mix in Sparrow as the Samourai coordinator was seized.
Next steps for privacy
If you (like me) relied on Samourai Wallet for privacy on Bitcoin, it's time to look elsewhere sadly. As of today I have two recommendations:
Use Monero for spending, keep using Bitcoin for savings
Yes, this isn't Bitcoin, but its by far the most used and most practical privacy coin out there with strong (and growing) ways to swap in/out of it without a centralized, KYC exchange. My recommendation is buying enough to cover your normal spending of Bitcoin for a month at least, and spend out of that lump sum as needed.
Learn more:
getmonero.org
Where to get Monero:
bisq.network
Trocador.app
In Cake Wallet's exchange feature
Wallets:
Feather Wallet
Cake Wallet
Monerujo Wallet
Merchants that accept Monero:
monerica.com
cryptwerk.com/pay-with/xmr/
Use JoinMarket
JoinMarket is a decentralized Coinjoin protocol that brings together peers to mix funds together, gaining strong privacy without relying on a central coordinator, without giving fees to a central entity, etc.
The best way to get started today is using the new UI built around JoinMarket, @jamapporg:
jamapp.org
Have any more questions? Drop them below and I'll do my best to answer them.
Such a rough day. I remember they were working on a decentralized coordinator, could we finish it to revive whirlpool or is it effectively dead?
I remember they were working on a decentralized whirlpool coordinator, was it ever finished or is whirlpool effectively dead?
