Electrum

There are now six submarine swap providers for Electrum, offering swaps between on-chain and Lightning BTC. Swap providers use #nostr to advertise liquidity and fees.

Stablecoins are like CDBCs, but with bailouts at the end of the road.

Electrum and Bitcoin Core binaries are reproducible. Some volunteers take the time to reproduce the official binaries, in order to verify that they correspond to the public source code. This is an important, yet overlooked task.

Electrum 4.6.0 is now available on electrum.org. This major release adds support for anchor channels, submarine swaps over #nostr and third-party plugins. Check the release notes for the full list of changes. github.com/spesmilo/elect…

Let there be yield!

Welcome, competition! Less than 24h after the Electrum 4.6 beta announcement, a new submarine swap provider appeared on Mainnet.

Electrum 4.6 features submarine swaps over Nostr. Anyone can become a swap provider.

Electrum 4.6.0b1 (beta version) binaries are available: download.electrum.org/4.6.0b1/ Release notes: github.com/spesmilo/elect…

Crypto is very confusing. In "bitcoin wallet" and "crypto wallet", the word "wallet" usually does not have the same meaning.

Love seeing @ElectrumWallet integrating Nostr! Nostr won't have a "killer app." It will be used as a discovery and coordination layer on the backend of apps and platforms. Instead of relying on a central server (Electrum's Cosigner Pool), Nostr enables encrypted, peer-to-peer…

Electrum 4.6 will have built-in #nostr support. We published our own aionostr library for that: github.com/spesmilo/elect…
