How can Mostro do escrow without touching your sats? The answer: Lightning Hold Invoices. A brilliant mechanism nobody explained well. Thread 👇 1/ When you sell Bitcoin on Mostro, you're asked to pay a Lightning invoice. But it's not a regular invoice. 2/ It's a "hold invoice" — your sats are locked in the Lightning channel, but NOT delivered to the other side. They're literally "mid-air." 3/ Only when the buyer confirms fiat payment AND the seller confirms receipt, Mostro releases the sats to the buyer. 4/ If something goes wrong, sats automatically return to the seller. No middlemen. No trust. Pure cryptography. 5/ The result: non-custodial escrow. Mostro NEVER holds your sats. It just facilitates the Lightning Network holding them temporarily. That's real P2P. No banks. No companies. No "trust us."

🧵 ¿Cómo puede Mostro hacer escrow sin tocar tus sats? La respuesta: Hold Invoices de Lightning. Un mecanismo brillante que nadie te explicó bien. 1/ Cuando vendes Bitcoin en Mostro, se te pide pagar una Lightning invoice. Pero no es una invoice normal. 2/ Es una "hold invoice" — tus sats quedan bloqueados en el canal Lightning, pero NO se entregan al otro lado. Están literalmente "en el aire". 3/ Solo cuando el comprador confirma que pagó con fiat Y el vendedor confirma que recibió, Mostro libera los sats al comprador. 4/ Si algo sale mal, los sats vuelven automáticamente al vendedor. Sin intermediarios. Sin confianza. Pura criptografía. 5/ El resultado: un escrow que no es custodial. Mostro NUNCA tiene tus sats. Solo facilita que la Lightning Network los retenga temporalmente. Eso es P2P real. Sin bancos. Sin empresas. Sin "confía en nosotros".

🧵 ¿Por qué Mostro envuelve tus mensajes en 3 capas de cifrado? NIP-59 Gift Wrap es el sistema que hace que ni los relays sepan quién tradea con quién. Te explico cómo funciona 👇 1/ Cuando creas una orden en Mostro, tu mensaje se cifra con la clave del destinatario (NIP-44). Hasta aquí, normal. 2/ Pero luego ese mensaje se "sella" dentro de otro evento, firmado con una clave efímera que se usa UNA sola vez y se descarta. 3/ Finalmente, se envuelve en un "gift wrap" — otro evento con timestamp aleatorio (puede ser de hace 2 días o de mañana) para que nadie pueda correlacionar tiempos. Resultado: Los relays ven eventos genéricos. No saben quién habla con quién, ni cuándo realmente se envió. Esto no es opcional en Mostro. Es el default. Porque la privacidad no debería ser un feature premium. Prueba Mostro:

"Don't trust, verify" isn't a slogan — it's a way of life. Mostro wraps your messages in three layers of encryption. NIP-59 Gift Wrap ensures that not even relays know who trades with whom. Here's how it works 🧵👇 1/ When you create an order in Mostro, your message is encrypted with the recipient's key (NIP-44). Standard stuff. 2/ Then that message gets "sealed" inside another event, signed with a one-time ephemeral key that's discarded after use. 3/ Finally, it's wrapped in a "gift wrap" — another event with a randomized timestamp (could be 2 days ago or tomorrow) so nobody can correlate timing. Result: Relays see generic events. They don't know who's talking to whom, or when messages were actually sent. This isn't optional in Mostro. It's the default. Because privacy shouldn't be a premium feature. Try Mostro:
