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

@Mostro 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 @Mostro . 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. ⚡️

Code is speech Almost 30 years ago, a judge ruled in favor of Bernstein (a mathematician at the University of California), who wanted to publish an encryption algorithm he developed, the source code, and the paper. We still celebrate this won battle.

Almost a year ago, I proposed a Nostr NIP to create a large liquidity pool for Bitcoin P2P orders on Nostr. The idea is to have a standard (or an attempt at one) that, as more platforms implement it, allows end users to have a single place to search for the order that best suits them and, from there, navigate to the platform where the chosen order is located. So far, this standard has been implemented by @lnp2pBot , @Mostro and @Robosats A couple of months ago, @KoalaSat created this very useful P2P dashboard where we can see all the orders that meet this standard.

I believe the more P2P orders published here, the greater the benefit for users and the platforms themselves, as end users are directed to the option that best fits their needs. For curious minds here the NIP
