Hi @waxwing ! Any way I can reach out to you for some questions about JoinMarket development? Tried email and telegram but I think you're not active there anymore.

I've updated
JoinMarket Fidelity Bond Simulator
 to include some optimistic ROI figures. With the assumptions of 2,000 JoinMarket CoinJoins monthly of an average size of 2M sats. Then, estimate how often each offer is picked and see the profitability divided by the bond size (not value). As if it were some kind of savings account. And only considering the locked coins in the bond, not the liquidity in the mixdepths. It's really interesting to see that the optimal is definitely not being the largest bond! Since we assume 8 makers per round, it's “easy” to be chosen there often even without a large bond. You can see that the “smartest” bonds are 4.4 BTC (number 1 in ROI) and 2 BTC (number 3 in ROI). Have fun with the tool! image #JoinMarket #CoinJoin

Gist
Create privacy blockers across multiple calendars
Create privacy blockers across multiple calendars. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
 Calendar Blockers - Create privacy blockers across multiple calendars This script automatically creates "blocker" events on target calendars for every event found in source calendars. The blocker events only show a generic title (e.g., "private" or "busy") without revealing actual event details, helping maintain privacy when sharing calendars. Use Case: - Share work calendar with personal calendar without revealing details - Create busy blocks on shared calendars while keeping event info private - Sync availability across multiple calendar systems Features: - Configurable blocker title - Optional padding time before/after events - Supports recurring events - Dry-run mode for testing - Works with vdirsyncer or similar calendar sync tools
