GM, Publiqué la pieza 3 de la serie: @primal 3.0 + @npub1juga...fc28 SDK: el motor Lightning que me faltaba en la historia https://stacker.news/items/1481351 Cierra una duda clave: el motor LN no es ACINQ, es Breez SDK. Eso cambia todo el onboarding: ahora puedes entrar a Bitcoin vía Nostr con self-custody desde el primer sat. Si estás siguiendo la serie o te interesa: Nostr + Lightning + onboarding real → esto es para ti. Feedback técnico es más que bienvenido.

¿Por qué elegí onboardear a la comunidad "Bitcoin para Todos" (BPT) con @primal ? Disclaimer: no tengo ninguna relación comercial con Primal. Esto es iniciativa propia. Haz tu propia investigación. #DIOR Estoy empezando a acompañar a nuevos integrantes de la comunidad Bitcoin para Todos (BPT) en Paraguay, y me hice una pregunta clave: ¿Con qué herramienta puedo guiar a alguien a dar sus primeros pasos en Bitcoin hoy? Mi objetivo es simple: Que desde el minuto 1, cualquier persona sea nativa en Bitcoin, manteniendo su atención enfocada en su autoaprendizaje y así evitando la fricción de tener que usar múltiples apps en sus primeros pasos. Después de probar varias opciones, vi en Primal algo especial: - Fácil de instalar - Experiencia simple para principiantes - Integra Nostr + Lightning - Y ahora: self-custodial wallet Post en SN: https://stacker.news/items/1480140

Me sumo como voluntario en Bitcoin Para Todos Paraguay 🇵🇾 Mi pasion es DeFi, pero hace mas de un año aporto al espacio Bitcoin en PY con respeto y conviccion. La razon: soberania empieza por Bitcoin. Para este encuentro voy a empujar tres frentes en BPT: 1. Valor-por-valor (como nos ensenho Lunaticoin). 2. Identidad descentralizada — comunidad que no caiga si rota un lider. 3. Onboarding LN + Nostr masivo en cada evento — primer ⚡ en 5 minutos. Primer encuentro: miercoles 06-may, 19:00.

What if your IBAN was a Bitcoin address? We've created it. Here's how it works. A service/protocol that maps bank identifiers (IBANs) to Bitcoin addresses to simplify payments and improve user experience between banking and crypto systems. It describes the architecture, resolution, and operational risks. Practical comment: Consider UX design and accounting reconciliation: mapping identities simplifies adoption but adds error vectors; prioritize automatic reconciliation, validations, and dispute mechanisms for integrations with legacy systems. ⚖️ Personal note #DYOR — I personally lean more towards privacy and decentralization, but the concept and what's being developed here is quite interesting and caught my attention.
