Lantern, a browser extension for highlighting and annotating webpages: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lantern/jjoijlenmgefkaeiomoaelcljfibpcgh

This is very hard to do but it actually works since it is a fork of the long-established hypothes.is extension, only changed to be compatible with NIP-84 and NIP-73. Thanks @dhalsim for the initial forking work.

Here it is rendering an annotation made by @Xavier Damman somewhere else I have no idea where:

It even works on PDFs:

Even though it works it definitely has bugs, so bug reports are appreciated (by "bug report" I mean just replying here). Thank you.

"With the Dollar backed stablecoins, you'll help expand the dominance of the US Dollar [...] It will be at the top, and that's where we want to keep it"

What he means is:

with Dollar backed stablecoins, the Global South will pivot towards digital Dollars over local currencies, allowing private, US Gov controlled entities to replace bank accounts around the globe.

This does not just allow for the expansion of USD dominance by bypassing local governments – it gives the US unprecedented and direct control over worldwide economies as every stablecoin can be effectively frozen on behalf of the US with the click of a button.

Additionally, it will provide the US with never seen before surveillance capabilities, providing real time access to financial transactions around the globe – fueling the unparalleled public-private partnership between Silicon Valley and the

Tando may have hacked the matrix!

The challenge with bitcoin circular economies is the same challenge with two-sided marketplaces: Who goes first?

Uber drivers with no riders? 👎
Uber riders with no drivers? 👎

Q: So how do you jumpstart the flywheel?
A: You lop off one side of the equation to eliminate the friction.

This merchant in Kibera, Kenya no longer fears bitcoin, because she's no longer stuck holding the bag and having to figure out how to spend the bitcoin she receives. With Tando the flywheel of spending doesn't get stuck because we removed all the friction points. Smooth!

S/o to @Afribit Kibera for hosting us and showing all the proof of work that's going into educating these ladies & gentlemen about permissionless money. And @The Core - Bitcoin Education for providing the lessons in Swahili! Nobody gets left behind.

If there is indeed an "order of operations" as @Marty Bent often says, then it would seem to make sense for all spending wallets to ask users to choose their (current) Unit of Account as part of the onboarding flow.

Sure, sats can be one of the choices for the hardcore bitcoiners that already denominate their lives in BTC. But for MASS adoption, don't make users think in a new currency. At least not yet.

Nostr developers! 🌟

We're diving deep into something new ➡️ Understanding how activists communicate and how Nostr can help them.

Why? Because building better tools starts with really getting how people use them.

Here's the scoop: We've been researching communication patterns in activists and have uncovered five distinct areas. But we know there's more to this story, and that's exactly why we need your help.

We're hosting an online workshop to:

1. Explore these communication patterns in detail
2. Identify what we might be missing
📅 Date: February 25th
⏰ Time: 11:00am ET (17:00 CET)

Whether you're a seasoned Nostr developer or just getting started, your perspective would be incredibly valuable.

Want in? Just drop me a message and I'll shoot over a meeting invite. 🚀

Supposedly you are safe if you're not running litd or anything else that sets up HTLC interceptor... but noone knows for sure and I didn't have time to look through code.

I guess we'll know for sure tomorrow, so bump your instance in the meantime if you're using LND.

What's new?

🔶Payment Confirmation screen improvements including:
🔸Show date & time of transaction (s/o @kgothatso@8333.mobi for this request)
🔸Fix a time zone bug when copying payment info to clipboard.
🔸A new Orange-Pill graphic to better communicate to merchants that bitcoin was the method of payment (s/o @Brindon ⚡️ for this brilliant idea!). It's another “Proof of Spend” touch-point as @Sabina likes to call it.
🔸Improve layout to organize the information better.
🔸Increase clarity of the successful status of payment

I just paid (exchanged sats for value) for food, firewood, eggs, and earlier this month, even salaries—all in #Bitcoin

The most practical way to engage with Saylor’s perspective is by using #Bitcoin as we see fit—as a tool for value exchange/currency.

The circular economy thesis that enables #Bitcoin to truly function as the "Decentralized Electronic Peer-to-Peer Cash System" it was meant to be begins with each of us.

"Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated."

So, what is our responsibility as #Bitcoin users when it comes to unlocking the true financial empowerment Bitcoin promises?

At its core, #Bitcoin is just a TOOL.
A tool for empowerment, financial inclusion, and unlocking incredible possibilities—but it is not those realities on its own.

Saylor is simply capitalizing on the micro-responsibilities we’ve neglected as Bitcoin users to push an

Bull Bitcoin becomes the first mobile Bitcoin wallet that allows users to send and receive asynchronous Payjoin transactions without needing to run their own server, using BIP77!

I am very excited about this new and bleeding-edge feature, because it has been a long-standing ambition of Bull Bitcoin to become the first Bitcoin exchange to process Bitcoin withdrawals via Payjoin (Pay-to-Endpoint) transactions.

However, it was hard to justify Bull Bitcoin investing time into building this feature since there were no commercially available end-user Bitcoin wallets that were able to receive Payjoin payments.

Indeed, in order to receive Payjoin payments (BIP78), a Bitcoin wallet needed to be connected to a full node server and be online at the moment the payment is made. This means in practice that only merchants, professional service providers and advanced full node users had the capacity to receive Payjoin payments. This

With nut zaps you can sweep the tokens IMMEDIATELY to your own lightning node: so have the best of both worlds; fast reliable zaps that cannot fail and you are only using the mint until you come online and sweep to your node.
