It's been 3 years since I wrote the first draft of what would become nostr:nprofile1qqsdhc93hklp988r3km4844fjln298nf8t7s92sar7dsqha88ph9cfsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsxhj39v, today we are a team of people working full time and our mission is clear: we’re building a platform designed from the ground up for the developing world, especially for people living under authoritarian regimes. Privacy isn’t just a luxury; it’s a matter of safety. That’s why we don’t rely on Tor, since it doesn’t work well in areas with very slow internet—something common in these regions. Instead, Mostro use Nostr and must only publish events to relays we trust, so the Mostro daemon never exposes its IP to a relay that might be a trap set by a dictator. This keeps everything simple and more private. In other words, if someone is in an authoritarian country, they can publish to their own relay, and clients will fetch that information without revealing the Mostro node’s IP to potentially hostile relays.

Cómo saber cuándo el plátano está listo para tajadas? - Cuando está a punto de irse caminando 😅

🚨 p2p.band is down and probably is because is receiving flood of orders from nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyt8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnwv9kk26ewd35ku6cqyqnnu7yq6wxnnflmyw80e7y40gd4kflgryf84pyra965z6s2jrudyekc99t , I'm running it locally and currently we have over 10k NIP-69 pending nostr orders from hodlhodl, this is starting to be a problem to relays, which may start blocking orders from hodlhodl pubkey, please holdhodl team give it a look ASAP

Hoy a las 11hs voy a hablar en #labitconf sobre el trabajo que hemos venido haciendo estos últimos años en nostr:nprofile1qqsdhc93hklp988r3km4844fjln298nf8t7s92sar7dsqha88ph9cfsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsxhj39v y en la tarde dos paneles súper interesantes, si estás en #labitconf nos vemos allá 😀

nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyrd7pvdahcffecudkafad2vhu63fu6f6l5p258glnvq9lfecdewzvsc3u36 is a response to governments around the world that have chosen to wage war on citizens who want—or, more accurately, need—to escape the use of fiat currency. There is a global trend, not only in authoritarian countries but also in the U.S. and Europe, to monitor all of citizens’ financial movements “for their own good.” Gradually, they have been squeezing companies that provided services enabling people to buy and sell bitcoin as freely and privately as possible, without KYC. Mostro is a platform that allows people to carry out bitcoin buy-and-sell transactions without KYC, in a highly private, uncensored, and as decentralized a way as possible. Once complete, Mostro will not relay on a single person or company as a single point of failure: anyone will be able to become a Mostro operator and offer services to users in their region. The idea is for it to be very easy to create a Mostro node and very hard to find and take down. Mostro uses Nostr as a data-transport layer to resist censorship.

Almost three years ago, we made the first commit to nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyrd7pvdahcffecudkafad2vhu63fu6f6l5p258glnvq9lfecdewzvsc3u36 . There was no code at that moment, only ideas we didn’t even know made sense at the time. Three years of thinking crazy ideas, discussing them, destroying them, and rethinking them again. Today, we are close to having a solid version of Mostro, one that allows people to do P2P without fear of surveillance, without fear of confiscation, and without fear of censorship. ⚡️

What a nice design have the nostr:nprofile1qqsp7fxsmxnahv3pkqsx4pn9pqm5739sp4cy5d8gkxelex5tc9qrspsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9ux6kfru #Bitcoin coin, nice touch the ⭐⭐⭐
