The link you mentioned is incorrect. What is the correct link?

This is amazing!

With Bolt12 there's Reusable Payment Requests. Is that something on the roadmap?

I just read the quick summary. If one of the people doesn't have a connected wallet, then the transfer happens in CCs (it will turn sats to CCs if needed). That's probably what happened I guess.

Thank you for the explanation. I did setup Coinos with NWC and I can send sats from my Coinos, but I do receive cowboy credits, so probably I can't receive.

I've tried out used Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) at https://jaas.8x8.vc. It works fantastic. You can embed a Jitsi meeting app in your website, web app, mobile app with ease. Just copy/paste some HTML. You can use 25 calls per months for free.

Interesting, thank you. This looks very similar to HiveTalk. I'm going to also give this a try.

Thanks, it looks like they've dropped support for Firefox unfortunately. I'll try it again with another browser like Brave.

I used this one. Has a lot of features. I tried it with screen sharing, but the browser crashed. I guess it was too heavy or perhaps it was my computer. If this could be more stable, then I would like this option. I wonder if I host it myself how it would differ in the connection vs using their connection, which is public.

I want to know this so I can explain this to newcomers. This way they can see what an insane amount of sensitive information is being sent along with each transaction.

I know they don't care about our privacy. I certainly don't buy via an exchange and don't recommend newcomers to do so.

As far as I know, a blockchain always has a token.

Maybe I'm incorrect, but if you have access to all 3 private keys, then you actually have access to all the zpubs as well.

You take one of the private keys (12/24 words) and generate a master private key, then generate the xpub and then convert this to zpub. You can do this with all 3 private keys, but this is definitely not fail safe ;-)

Very true, only it's unfortunate that all those YouTube frontends are being aggressively blocked or taken down by YouTube.

It would help a lot if people would upload their video to another platform or platforms next to YouTube. That seems like a logical thing to do.

Thank you for the info. Simplex says that using Flux servers and Simplex servers is increasing connection privacy. But does that need to be a blockchain, where you always have a token?

Whut? Simplex supports a shitcoin? I missed that. Why would they do that?

Also a great guide. Thank you for sharing :-) I've never bought with Bisq yet, let alone Bisq 2. Going to try that out so I can help newcomers with obtaining their first sats.

Fantastic guide!

When I was reading the flow, I noticed that when you're a complete beginner to Bitcoin and Lightning, you probably don't have any sats. This makes paying the taker bond with Lightning a challenge. Any suggestions how to overcome this for newcomers?

Great explanation. I'm going to dive more into how this works and play around with this.

That is really nice. So to recap, when creating your own Bitcoin transaction you don't need to connect to your own node. Does this mean there's also no privacy issue? You're not leaking data?

When using a watch-only wallet, where you've imported your xpub, I assume that you need to connect your own node for that to see your balance among others.

Ecash and kyc? It should never ever happen. Privacy without compromise.
