Last Notes
I'm the reincarnation of Enoch, the sole prophet who met God
You can see it in her face, she doesn’t fully understand what’s going on. I tell her it’ll be fine in a few days 😭
Looks like AI still struggles with non-latin scripts.
You're the first on my list! Seriously. I'm still thinking about the other names🙂🙃😁
That tweet came with an explanation:

The hashrate stalling and slightly reducing for an extended amount of time is somewhat disconcerting. More so than much of the noise around.
The operators can freeze the service, not the funds.
Exit txs are pre-signed: with a saved recovery bundle the unilateral exit needs zero operator involvement. That's exactly what we tested on mainnet.
Caveat, stated in the post: the bundle must be saved while they still serve you.
Def seems like he doesn't get his due.
fedora with gnome is great
i spent almost a week with a macbook air and used webinstall.dev for managing packages instead of homebrew and it was very pleasant
Making it open would not have helped with interoperability, unfortunately. Jam was not designed for that, which both Nests and Corny Chat were based on.
It would have been good to fully open up, but it’s gone now. There was no attempts though to “lock it down”, and it remained compatible with the base Jam software.
The goal of the rewrite was to provide specifications anyone could implement to get their own fully compatible audio room. That got lost after the takeover, somehow.
I attribute the downfall more to Primal and fast-moving specs, more than “scrutinizing what is a true client”.
it's becoming very difficult to stay optimistic
By "all operators colluding for theft" I mean all of these at once:
- every operator keeps its key share for a previous state of the leaf instead of deleting it
- all of them sign with those old shares - even combined, that is still not a full key
- they also need the previous owner of the leaf to sign, or to be that previous owner themselves
There are real cases where the SSP is the previous owner, so in practice it reduces to: you are trusting at least one operator to actually delete previous states. That is the stated trust assumption.
Not trustless, and the post does not claim it is.
📰 Treasuries are amplifying market selloffs and Bitcoin is paying the price
🗓️ Jul 20 2026 09:32 UTC - CryptoNews
For two decades, the American investor essentially got a free insurance policy. When equities fell, Treasuries rallied, and the loss on one side of the portfolio was partly covered
➤ The traditional inverse relationship between equities and Treasuries has broken down due to persistent inflation volatility, causing both asset classes to move in tandem and diminishing the safe-haven role of bonds.
➤ This shift negatively impacts Bitcoin, as it relies on falling real yields and weakening dollar for support, conditions typically provided by a rallying Treasury market.
➤ The article suggests that while tokenized US Treasuries offer a crypto-native bet on yield, the current macro environment, characterized by high deficits and thinning foreign demand for long-dated debt, creates short-term headwinds for Bitcoin by removing a key support floor for risk assets.

Youngest has been sick for a few days now. Nothing unusual for a 2 y.o. though.
Are you affected by the forest fires?

The updated text says:
Operators can never spend your funds alone.
One operator is certainly insufficient.
I laugthing about this picture, whenever I roll through this post
Não sei se me importo tanto quanto você imagina, mas existem umas dificuldades sobre o movimento.
I could not bring myself to work on the Nests rewrite while being exhausted, under public pressure, and other concerns. The unilateral decisions about a project I contributed to so much did not help.
I forgot to mention, we held a bounty pool to be paid out to any contributors to the ground-up rewrite, that was separated.
I transferred any custodied sats for this bounty I might have to Derek when I left.
If I remember correctly, we also compensated both TC and Karnage out of pocket from Nostr Plebs for their work. It was however unfortunate to see Karnage’s design work go to waste..
——
I do less Nostr development now. Mostly because the AI slop takeover, and the focus on quality going downhill. I have tried to prevent that to some extent, but I have failed.
(Especially on the NIPs, where my access was revoked)
But, it is great to be able to work with amazing people like @npub1r0r…q9ac and the @npub137c…k37w.
I try to do the right thing. Sometimes I make mistakes.
230 euros for the new Bitkey is uh, a choice...
Can you actually leave?
We tested it on mainnet: forced a 100k sat Blink wallet out of Spark, back onto Bitcoin.
No operators, just the seed and a saved recovery bundle.

Trust model reiterated. In-app exit next.

Most Bitcoin software gets judged on features. Ours gets judged on what we didn't change. That's intentional. productionready.org
when were gestures, ie swipe back, fixed in brave for linux/fedora? is this only working in brave origin? am i just late to the party? #asknostr

You can exit with seed only if your wallet took care of saving the recovery bundle while operators were online and willing.
We will have this safeguard in Blink shortly and hope to see it in other Spark based wallets too.
GM dear soul , do your best for yourself and that's more then enough...blessings 🙏✨️💚👍🥲
Typical. This administration picks fights, allies bail, and we all pay at the pump.
What a mess. Washington’s reckless moves, Britain walks, and regular folks get squeezed *again*.

Yes, fees to exit unilaterally should be comparable to Ark as it also uses this kind of transaction chain to be broadcasted.
There are many variables which can be tweaked:
- number and sie of the leaves/vTXOs
- depth of the chain to broadcast
- timelocks
- fee/rate
Ark solutions have this periodical onlineness requirement and ongoing fees for rounds as wrll which make them have different tradeoffs.
Spark works now, but no wallet should be locked in to it. Let it and the alternatives evolve. Our job is to keep our eyes open and assess the risks.
Yes, the feature was added to our tool today: https://github.com/blinkbitcoin/spark-unilateral-exit/pull/11
The consolidation comes with a tradeoff between efficient unilateral exit and fast transactions (lacking denominations will need more swaps with SSPs at payment time).

It was more complex and weirder than that.
Derek started hosting Nostr Nests independently based on Jam software. They made some minor modifications early on, but got bigger.
With our existing work together on Nostr Plebs, I agreed to help.
With there UI leaving a lot to be desired, me, @npub1jdg…2mys and @npub1r0r…q9ac worked on a UI redesign. Most of the core remained the same, with mostly some UI changes.
I have been clear that Nests was based on Jam, and I have never tried to obscure that.
Anyway, at this point, it was decided that a complete rewrite, fully independent from Jam was a good idea.
There were too many issues with large rooms on Jam. Also, it was built with a different identity system than Nostr, which made it hard to integrate.
The main reason that we, together, decided to not make it open-contribution is due to the rewrite. It would be fully open source and open contribution, and more suited than that.
(Looking back, I’m not sure if that was a good choice or not. The code depended a lot on internal details to work.)
Anyway, I did not have the motivation to work on the rewrite due to burn-out and personal reasons. This was not helped by the fact that our informal agreement with Derek that it was a shared project fell through, of sorts.
Derek had made it clear that he treated it mostly as his own project including making unilateral decisions, and I felt like that was disrespectful to the work of me and others.
Around that point I left and took a break from Nostr.
I did not track what happened fully next, but I believe it was replaced by a rewrite by Kieran and then proceeded to become inactive.
——
If it was ever unclear that Nests was based on Jam, I apologize for that.
There was never a goal to gatekeep contributions, but more that it was simply not suitable for it due to it being designed with so many internal components.
The situation was more complex than this person was solely responsible about it”.
Even though I have mixed feelings about it, I will not share my personal interactions with Derek in depth out of respect for privacy.
Looks like the bot plague on X is also a thing here, sigh.

Az elmúlt hónapokban sokat esett a Bitcoin árfolyama. Sokan már temették a négyéves ciklust, aztán beköszöntött a medvepiac. Szó esik a 200 hetes mozgóátlagról mint történelmi mélypontról, egy 80 százalékos zuhanásról, és arról, hogy kik számára lehet jó hír egy leértékelés.
