Useful discussion on Xitter about how to check if your BIP-353 DNS records have DNSSEC setup correctly: Almost there! You must enable DNSSEC on your domain. This should contain "AD":true

Now we just need nostr zaps support for BIP-353..

What's it going to take to add a bolt-12 offer to my nostr profile so that it's used for zaps?

Zaps now accepted directly to my Phoenix android wallet here:

New major release! Phoenix Android/iOS/Server now supports BOLT12: - reusable, non-expiring payment requests - contact list (Android for now, iOS soon) - attach messages to payments You can now receive payments to a static bolt-12 offer via Phoenix and keep a list of offers in your contact list! See also bolt12.org

Can anymore explain why these txs are doing? Seems like they are consolidating 2 of 3 multisig outputs at a crazy high feerate. It makes no sense! 🤪

Bitcoin has forced the banking system to make same day bank-to-bank transfers possible. Would this have even happened if Bitcoin had not shown this was possible in practice for large transfers? Would the banking system have felt compelled to make it possible? I honestly don't think so. Think about that when someone natters on about how governments will somehow stomp out Bitcoin. It's too late.

Reposting from bird site post by Laurent MT. "Here we go again" "...the defendants, developed, marketed, and operated a cryptocurrency mixing service known as Samourai Wallet (““Samourai”), an unlicensed money transmitting business from which they earned millions of dollars in fees. Samourai unlawfully combined multiple unique features to execute anonymous financial transactions valued at over $2 billion in cryptocurrency for its customers. While offering Samourai as a “privacy” service, the defendants knew that it was a haven for criminals to engage in large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion. Indeed, as the defendants intended and well knew, a substantial portion of the funds that Samourai processed were criminal proceeds passed through Samourai for purposes of concealment. Indeed, during the relevant period, Samourai laundered over $100 million dollars of crime proceeds originating from, among other criminal sources: illegal darkweb markets, such as Silk Road and Hydra Market; various wire fraud and computer fraud schemes, including a web-server intrusion, a spear phishing scheme, and schemes to defraud multiple decentralized finance protocols; and other illegal activities."
