Since there is now joinmarket-ng and joinmarket-rs, it was time to create a repo for JoinMarket Protocol (JMP) Specifications. The idea is to separate the protocol and protocol extensions from the implementations, as done in BIPs, NIPs, NUTS, ...

very interesting tool:
am-i.exposed
am-i.exposed - Bitcoin Privacy Scanner
Is your Bitcoin traceable? Paste an address or txid - get a privacy score with 33 chain analysis heuristics. Free, client-side, no tracking.
 that's a big joinmarket transaction. it's interesting to see where funds come from and where they go. it incorrectly flags a change spent together with an equal amount, which is not really linking but probably just different makers keep in mind that it uses mempool.space API! don't use this tool directly for your transactions (use tor and even better your own mempool API)

Controversial take: cash is actually pretty great widely accepted, tons of privacy, good denominations for change, etc. And the inflation EUR or USD suffers in a week/month is negligible. I would prefer paying through LN at physical stores for convenience, but then the merchant loses privacy vs cash, and payments would fail more often. So I'd say the priority isn't to kill the only form of fiat that actually offers something. But to streamline Bitcoin on/off ramps and obviously setting up ATMs would be relatively easy (there are already many), but having to show your ID (in Spain) for that... Again something that's technically feasible but blocked by regulations. Same for traveling, the most convenient way to get local currency abroad is a BTC ATM.

A few days ago, a JoinMarket NG collaborator's GitHub account was deleted without previous warning. The account was a member of the joinmarket-ng organization and had just opened a Pull Request. Now GitHub is asking the collaborator some info but has not restored the account yet. Really annoying, because all the issues and PRs of the collaborator have suddenly disappeared! As always, a good chance to learn and strengthen our weak spots. Here is the complete mirror (code, issues, labels, milestones, PRs, ...) to CodeBerg:

GITHUB REPO MIRROR: JoinMarket (Bitcoin CoinJoin) modern alternative implementation
 It works automatically using a GitHub personal token with read only access to what's already public. Here is the guide on how to do the mirroring:

 It did fail at first but ended up working after 3 or so retries. #JoinMarketNG

The problem with insufficient entropy at boot time: > In 2012, researchers scanned the whole internet and harvested public keys from TLS certificates and SSH hosts. They found that a handful of systems had identical public keys, and in some cases very similar keys (namely, RSA keys with shared prime factors): in short, two numbers, n = pq and n′ = p′q′, with p = p′, whereas normally all ps and qs should be different in distinct modulus values. After further investigation, it turned out that many devices generated their public key early, at first boot, before having collected enough entropy, despite using an otherwise decent PRNG (typically /dev/urandom). PRNGs in different systems ended up producing identical random bits due to a same base entropy source (for example, a hardcoded seed). From the book Serious Cryptography. F

> The 2G standard also defined A5/2, a cipher for areas other than the EU and US. A5/2 was purposefully weaker to prevent the use of strong encryption everywhere. From the book: Serious Cryptography. So basically they made 2G A5/1 cypher insecure accidentally, but from the beginning designed a weaker A5/2 for the rest of the world on purpose...
