🧌 Mostro Node v0.19.3 is out. ⚠️ Preview only: this release adds the groundwork for reputation import (a trust list of reputation issuers). It ships disabled by default, do not enable it yet, import handling lands in the next release. 🥜 More progress on Cashu: makers can now choose their Cashu mint, and the node publishes its Cashu mode in the info event. 🧾 Node now tracks payer info and history for declared payments. 🐛 Fixed LNURL fetches picking up system proxies by mistake. Update recommended for node operators, just remember: reputation import stays off for now. 📦 GitHub:

On Monday, October 19 we’re going live to talk about Mostro: how it works, where it comes from and where it’s heading. With Lucio, longtime Mostro maintainer, and Davide, who runs the Mostro Europe node. 🗓️ Monday 10/19 ⏰ 21:00 Italy · 19:00 UTC 🎙️ In Italian

Your identity on Mostro 🧌 lives in 12 words, not in an account you can recover by email. Without that backup, a lost phone or reinstall can cost you your active trades, your reputation, and your history. With it, you can restore everything on any compatible client. One exception: orders made in full privacy mode can't be recovered, since there's no fixed key tying them to you. Back it up before your first trade. How, in the graphic below. #Bitcoin #Nostr #P2P #Mostro

🧌 Meet Serbero: our new AI dispute assistant, live on Mostro starting today! 🐺 What it is Serbero gets every dispute to your solvers fast, DMing them the moment one opens. It can also talk to both parties to find out what happened with the payment, helping them close the trade themselves when the facts are clear. Anything unclear or contested goes straight to a human solver with the full chat for context. 🔒 What it will never do ❌ Move funds, it's read-only, Mostro rejects any fund action it tries to send. ❌ Decide a dispute, it reports claims, never verdicts. A human solver always has the final word. ❌ Send generated text to a person, parties get human-written templates, solvers get the real conversation. 🌎 Starts in English by default, and automatically switches to Spanish or Portuguese once a party writes in one of them. Piloting with these 3 languages for now, more coming. 🧌 If Serbero ever goes down, Mostro and your solvers keep working exactly as before. 📦 Learn more:

A Mostro 🧌 node doesn't need to serve the whole world to matter. It just needs to serve the people around it, same language, same currency, same payment habits. That's what makes P2P trading actually usable for people who'd never touch a global exchange. Small and local can be exactly the right size. Apply here: Join your community

Are your trades on Mostro 🧌 actually private? Yes. All communication is end-to-end encrypted, with different keys for every operation so your exchanges can't be linked to each other. You can even trade in an advanced privacy mode where not even the node you're using can tell which operations are yours. Node operators never get access to any personal information either way. + Info:

Every step of a Mostro 🧌 trade runs against the clock, and each node sets its own times. On the node currently active on mainnet, an order sits in the book for 23 hours before it expires if nobody takes it. Once taken, whoever goes first (invoice or hold invoice) has 15 minutes, miss it and the order reposts. The counterparty then has their own 15 minutes, miss that and it cancels instead. Use instant payment methods, since once the hold invoice expires, Mostro can't step in anymore. + Info:

What stops your counterparty from scamming you on Mostro 🧌? The seller's sats stay locked in their own wallet through a hold invoice until they confirm the fiat arrived. If something's off, either side can open a dispute, and the trade chat can't be deleted or altered, so whoever reviews the case can see what actually happened. + Info:

Mostro 🧌 doesn't set one fee for everyone, each node does. Every node decides its own trading fee and order limits, and you can check both from your client before you trade. No surprise charges buried in fine print, just a rate you see up front. Compare a couple of nodes before your next trade, you might find a better deal. English: Español: #Bitcoin #Lightning #P2P #Mostro

A hold invoice is the reason Mostro 🧌 can run escrow without ever touching your sats. When you sell, your sats lock in your own wallet through this invoice, visible but untouchable, until the trade actually completes. If something goes wrong, they return to you automatically. If it goes right, they release the moment you confirm. No custodian holding funds in between, just Lightning doing exactly what it was built to do. Got questions about how this works?
