After several posts analyzing what bills of exchange did, how governments killed them in 1914, what the parallel economy lacks without them, and what the engineering template for reconstruction looks like, it is time to name the project building it. Bitcredit runs electronic bills of exchange on Bitcoin, with a Chaumian ecash mint layer, a guarantee asset, and Nostr transport. This post maps the architecture. The series that follows will work through each component in detail. View quoted note →

Anyone interested in a serious review of v3 of my book The Praxeology of Privacy before it goes to print?

Remember, when you move utxos on a forked chain you link common coin ownership on the parent chain. Don't fuck up your privacy for picking up pennies in front of the train.

Two projects aim at the same goal of unstoppable networks for human beings, and they arrive at radically different solutions. Reticulum strips addressing and ports from the protocol entirely and optimizes for radio links so slow that five bits per second counts as usable bandwidth, then builds its own parallel universe of applications on top. @FIPS takes the opposite bet, keeping IPv6 semantics alive through a TUN adapter so that unmodified SSH and curl can cross a mesh of Nostr identities. This post walks both stacks from the wire up, then shows where their design choices force different tradeoffs. View article →
