Trustless auctions on #Bitcoin are here! ⚡️ Satoshi’s Auction House lets you sell goods and get paid without ever taking custody of user funds. To celebrate, we’re auctioning a 1-year Alby Hub Cloud subscription incl. a Lightning channel. Bid now and get a Xmas present! 🎁👇

Satoshi's Auction House

---------------- Satoshi’s Auction House uses HOLD invoices to enable conditional payment logic and trust-minimized escrow all built directly on Bitcoin. Learn how it works. 👇

Build Conditional Payment Logic Into Your App

"Hold invoices" let you build conditional payment logic and trust minimized escrow services right into your app on top of bitcoin. Learn how.

---------------- The app removes trust in the buyer and uses #Nostr for accounts, adding transparency for the seller. And instead of seeing the HOLD-invoice timeout as a limitation, it embraces the fun: fast bidding — just like a real-world auction. Perfect for livestreams, conferences, meetups and more. ---------------- The winner will be announced at the end of our Community Call, 3–4 PM CET. Join and listen in:
