Did you know there's a new post on the Mostro blog? 🧌 We talk about the anti-abuse bond: how it works, why it exists, and what happens to your sats in every possible scenario. The idea is simple: whoever acts in good faith pays nothing. The bond returns in full to their wallet. Whoever tries to abuse, puts their own money at risk. Each node decides whether to enable it and under what conditions. The network decides, not the protocol. Read the full article πŸ‘‡ User documentation πŸ‘‡

Decentralization is not a technical idea. It's a response to something concrete: systems that fail, accounts that get frozen, countries left outside the global financial system. Mostro 🧌 doesn't exist to talk about decentralization. It exists because decentralization solves real problems for real people. Every node running the protocol is a piece of infrastructure that no company or government can shut down ⚑ #Bitcoin #Cypherpunk #Nostr #P2P

The person who uses Mostro 🧌 isn't necessarily a developer or a Bitcoin expert. It's someone who at some point decided they'd rather understand how their money works than blindly trust whoever manages it. Someone who values knowing their sats are in their own wallet, that the protocol is auditable, and that no company can freeze their account. That attitude has a name: financial sovereignty. Mostro exists for the people who already made that decision ⚑ #Bitcoin #Cypherpunk #Nostr #P2P #Sovereignty

When you start a trade on Mostro 🧌, the first thing that happens is Lightning generates a hold invoice. What's that? An invoice that locks the seller's sats without collecting them yet. They sit there, on hold, until the buyer confirms the fiat payment and the seller verifies it. Only then does Lightning release them ⚑ If something goes wrong before that confirmation, the sats return to the seller automatically. That's the mechanism that makes custody-free P2P exchange possible. The protocol coordinates. Nobody touches the funds. #Bitcoin #Lightning #P2P #Nostr #Mostro

Mostro v0.17.5 is out πŸ§ŒπŸŽ‰ This release adds anti-abuse bonds. In simple terms: before starting certain trades, each side may need to lock a small bond. If they complete the trade normally, they get it back. If they disappear, stall the trade, or waste the other person’s time, they can lose part or all of it. Why this matters: β€’ it makes spam and fake intent more expensive β€’ it discourages people from opening trades they don’t plan to finish β€’ it protects honest users from griefing and endless waiting β€’ it helps the marketplace stay usable without turning Mostro into a custodial system The goal is simple: real traders should have a smoother experience, bad actors should have a harder time. Anti abuse bond is optional and it is decided by the Mostro node operator. Mostro remains P2P and non-custodial, but now with stronger incentives to behave seriously.

More than one billion people in the world have no access to a bank account. Not because the technology doesn't exist. But because the traditional financial system decides who gets to participate and who doesn't. Bitcoin changes that logic. It's money that needs no intermediaries, that doesn't discriminate by country, document, or credit history. Mostro 🧌 brings that to P2P exchange. Anyone with a Lightning wallet can buy and sell bitcoin, with whoever they want, wherever they are ⚑ It's infrastructure for the people the system left out. #Bitcoin #Freedom #Nostr #P2P #FinancialInclusion
