Think I've got non-custodial fully self-hosted Zaps working 👀 Can anyone Zap a sat to test Zaps to BTCPay Server??

Did you know that the Tor Project is close to implementing proof-of-work as a method of DDoS prevention?

Widespread Attacks Push Tor to Proof-of-Work

In the face of a record-breaking onslaught of DDoS attacks, the Tor Project is implementing a new Proof-of-Work mechanism that admins can use to wa...

Their PoW algorithm was built by the same main developer as that of Monero (RandomX) and shares many similarities: github.com/tevador/equix Very excited to see this built out as it poses the most promising fix for the ongoing attack against the Tor network. The current (WIP) merge request for PoW support in Tor can be followed here:

This is an initial implementation of new functionality for mitigating DoS attacks on onion services using a proof-of-work client puzzle, based on w...

Open feed. It's all "similarity" bot for pages. Close feed 😅 Guess I'll come back tomorrow

If anyone has any insights into how to relatively easily distribute a newsletter via Nostr DMs with a way to add signups to an existing website I would gladly tip some sats for insight! Would love to not force interested people to use email and instead allow people to use Nostr DMs.

If you had the chance to create your perfect newsletter around Bitcoin, privacy, and self-sovereignty: 1) What would you be sure to include? 2) What would you definitely avoid? 3) What would you do differently than other newsletters?

Something incredibly freeing about being able to just sit down and experiment with Bitcoin on testnet with no concerns. Highly recommend it for getting comfortable with privacy tools, testing out a new wallet, or playing with multisig. Two solid testnet faucets here if you need tsats, or I'm happy to send some if you drop a testnet address below: https://testnet-faucet.com/btc-testnet/
