(#175) β€” πŸ” Fee preflight on fixed-price take-sell β€” Mostro fee is checked before sending, avoiding failed sends. β€” πŸ”‘ Stronger privacy β€” account-scoped requests now use an ephemeral key instead of your identity key. (#173) β€” πŸ™Œ Thanks to Amuntri, Arkanoider and Forte11Cuba πŸ“¦ Full changelog: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostrix/compare/v0.3.1...0.3.2

When a Mostro 🧌 dispute opens, it's never an algorithm deciding who's right. The admin of that node, or a solver they've assigned, looks at the actual evidence. A real person makes the call, and the sats move based on what actually happened. More info at: #Bitcoin #P2P #Mostro

The chat between buyer and seller on Mostro 🧌 runs client to client, end-to-end encrypted, using a shared key both sides generate together through ECDH cryptography. That key is known only to the two of you, not even the Mostro node can read the conversation. Every new trade generates a new key, so privacy holds even if you trade with the same person again. If a dispute opens, either side can choose to share that key with the mediator, who can then decrypt just that one conversation as evidence, nothing more. + info: #Bitcoin #Nostr #Privacy #P2P

Creating an order on Mostro 🧌 takes less time than reading this post. Pick buy or sell, set your amount and currency, choose your payment methods, and publish. From there, any other user on that node can take it and the trade begins. πŸ“½οΈβ―οΈ Watch it start to finish: #Bitcoin #P2P #Mostro

mostro.world reads the public Nostr events every Mostro 🧌 node already emits and turns them into real numbers: completed orders, volume, active currencies, open disputes. bestiario computes and signs those reports, and your browser verifies that signature, that's proof of who published the numbers, not proof they're correct. For that, run the open-source software yourself and reproduce the results. More info at: #Bitcoin #Nostr #Transparency #Mostro image

Every trade you make on Mostro 🧌 stays between you and the person on the other side. No company logging your habits to sell to advertisers, no algorithm deciding what you're allowed to buy or sell. Encryption isn't an add-on here, it's just how the protocol works by default. That's what it looks like when privacy is the standard, not a premium plan. ⚑ #Bitcoin #Nostr #Privacy #P2P

You don't sign up for Mostro 🧌, your identity generates itself. The first time you open a client, it creates a set of Nostr keys for you: a public npub and a private nsec, no email or phone number attached to either one. That nsec works as your login, permanently. Back up the 12-word recovery phrase, and that identity stays yours no matter what device you use next. πŸ“š #Bitcoin #Nostr #P2P #Mostro

Recovering your Mostro 🧌 account comes down to 12 words. If you ever change devices or lose your phone, restoring your recovery phrase gets you right back in, your keys, your history, any trade in progress. Back it up before your first trade, and you're covered no matter what happens to your device. πŸŽ₯ Watch how it works: #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #Nostr #Mostro

🧌 Mostro Node v0.18.7 is out! πŸ›‘οΈ New payout safety rails: in-flight payouts are now capped per destination and node-wide, so one destination can't tie up the whole node's liquidity. ⏱️ Payout routes now bound their total timelock, not just the last hop, and user payout invoices are capped at 144 blocks instead of 432 β€” funds stay locked for less time. πŸ› οΈ Operators can cancel pre-trade orders through the CancelOrder gRPC, with a new pretrade_only flag so a cancel never falls through into a dispute cancel by mistake. πŸ”§ Maintenance mode follow-ups: drain counters now count only in-flight payments, so draining a node actually finishes instead of waiting on already-settled orders. πŸ› Also fixed: admin cancel no longer trips on hold invoices LND already canceled, and the info event now advertises the correct hold window. πŸ“₯ GitHub: #Mostro #Bitcoin #Lightning #Nostr #P2P #OpenSource

πŸ§ŒπŸ•ΉοΈ Mostrix v0.3.0 is here! The big theme in this release: get your account back on a new machine, after a wipe, or mid-trade, without losing your place. πŸ”‘ Restore Session (Settings): pull your active orders and disputes back from Mostro. Messages and My Trades peer chat refill without restarting the app. πŸ“ Import seed words: paste your 12-word backup, local wipe, automatic restore. Safer key rotation with rollback if something goes wrong. πŸ”„ Trade index sync: if your trade keys drift from Mostro, Mostrix detects it and offers a one-click resync. πŸ’¬ Smarter chat after restore: peer chat history rebuilds from relay, and trade messages land on the correct timeline step. πŸ›‘οΈ Copy your seed with C on the View Seed popup. πŸ“¦ GitHub: #Mostro #Bitcoin #Lightning #Nostr #P2P #OpenSource

⚠️Update⚠️ We’re close to completing the node migration. Why has it taken so long? Because we need everyone with open orders to either complete or cancel them. Only once this happens can we switch over to the new Lightning node. If you currently have an open order on Mostro, please complete or cancel it so we can resume normal operations as soon as possible. That said, you can continue trading on Mostro, as there are currently 7 other community nodes operating at full capacity. This is yet another demonstration of Mostro’s resilience. Our motto is: From a single point of failure to multiple points of success. image
