anyone loving their holidays right now? what are you lot up to? tell me your juicy holiday drama, or let off some steam. I'll be here to listen.

JAM or JoinMarket might be the most genius idea to increase Bitcoin privacy that I have seen in forever.

Privacy for Yourself and Others

Jam

Improve the financial privacy of yourself and others.

One where you can actually earn Bitcoin by just locking Bitcoin away for a while - but this isn't staking, it's a native Bitcoin feature called Timelock (see

Timelock - Bitcoin Wiki

) where the Bitcoin you lock away continues to be yours and under your custody BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the locking period. Yes that's right, no need to trust anyone else. See this fascinating thread by @Alex Waltz

1/32 JoinMarket is a decentralised, non-custodial, CoinJoin Implementation. It is market-based and allows you to CoinJoin any amount. - What it ...

Damn this is so cool.

a reminder that social media isn't all there is fuck me this song still slaps

after about 2 weeks of everyday posting and engaging with #nostr, my brain has reached peak social tiredness. I feel that I have turned into a nostr content creator in some way and while I enjoyed many parts of that journey, and liked seeing the potential of nostr itself, I also realise how the effects of daily usage of any social platform can have a negative impact on mental health. Maybe the buzz of receiving the #zaps has kicked (or tricked?) me into a weird loop I was trying to recreate with every subsequent post. Was is that people came in a wave from X to nostr which led some to zap more during some time? I don't know. Either way, much of the energy I saw the first week of actively engaging here seems like it has now faded, possibly until the next wave of people arrive, I don't know. I do love how I can just leave my raw thoughts running, and I still have many questions and much more to explore. But it's fair to say I'm going to be more distanced in the way I engage here and be more conscious of what specifically I want to come here for, to recharge my battery if you will. It's great to see everything unfolding and how all of these building blocks are coming together. And I can also see just how niche everything still is. Many hashtags empty and unexplored, not much diversity of thought, many bots, issues and inconsistencies. etc. I would love to see that evolve. Looking forward to seeing this community #growfurther

are there any marketplaces built on Nostr? hypothetically if I was to build one, what would be a good way to go about building it? #asknostr #nostrdevs #grownostr
