Mostro 🧌 is a protocol, not an app or a company. It defines how two people exchange Bitcoin for fiat using Lightning hold invoices and Nostr for communication. Anyone can run a node, anyone can build a client, and every node competes on its own fees and rules. No single server to shut down. No central database to seize. The network keeps running as long as any node stays online. That's what decentralization actually looks like in practice. 📚

Quick Start 🚀 - Mostro-FAQ

#Bitcoin #Nostr #Lightning #Decentralization #P2P

Running a Mostro node isn't reserved for developers. If your local Bitcoin group already trusts each other, you can operate the exchange yourselves: your currency, your payment methods, your rules. Mostro handles the protocol side over Lightning and Nostr. Communities in Cuba, Colombia, Spain, Bolivia, and Venezuela are already running their own nodes through the Community Program.

Real financial sovereignty means nobody needs to say yes before you trade. Mostro 🧌 runs as an open protocol on Lightning and Nostr. Every trade settles through math, hold invoices, and peer confirmation, with no company standing in the middle. This is the world cypherpunks wrote about decades ago. Now it runs in production. ⚡

Why does exchanging bitcoin between two people require a company in the middle? Mostro is the answer built in code. A green protocol, with yellow glowing eyes and a lightning bolt on its chest, living on Nostr, settling on Lightning, asking nobody's permission to exist ⚡ Part monster. Part protocol. All Bitcoin.

Exchanging value with another person should be an act between those two people. Nothing more. Without a third party recording who you are, where you're from, and what you do with your money. On Mostro 🧌 that information doesn't exist because the protocol doesn't need it. Every trade uses different keys. Communications travel encrypted through Nostr. Nodes have no access to personal data.
