Just pushed out a feature rich update for the node powering Mutiny Wallet: https://github.com/MutinyWallet/mutiny-node/releases/tag/v0.3.0
Working on some improvements and bug fixes for it and going to be pushing out another. Going on mainnet this week to start testing this out before a friends and family release later this month.

Great work there, I know some React, TypeScript, node, do you think I can contribute to mutiny wallet?
reply
Yes!
Our frontend is currently SolidJS written in TypeScript:https://github.com/MutinyWallet/mutiny-web
All of the lightning-related libraries are written in rust and binded to typescript, ie, the package I linked above is here on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mutinywallet/mutiny-wasm
We have a dev chat room on Matrix if you wanna join and contribute to the conversation or code: https://matrix.to/#/#mutiny-community:lightninghackers.com
Would be happy for other contributors, we are pretty much doing everything in the open so check out the github project boards and milestones on the repos.

Just working on my knowledge.......I've been in the btc space for a few years, but yesterday I re-read the Bitcoin whitepaper, and it makes much more sense. Now time to revisit the blocksize wars and re-read the Lightning whitepaper.

Refactoring fiatjaf’s noscl which is a nostr command line utility. Very cool and makes starting a bot army trivial.
Nostr needs to figure this out or else DOSing nostr can be done by anyone.
I suggest we require payments to use relays.

Over the weekend and earlier in week I made number of performance improvements and smaller tweaks. I'm currently trying to figure out a low friction UX that requires posters pick the right sub before posting - lots of ~nostr stories are getting posted to ~bitcoin. Then I'm going to begin a sprint on Outer Space.

I'm putting together the foundation for an online magazine with bitcoin content for Africans, from Africans. The content will cover bitcoin education fundamentals along with regular bitcoin current events topics. The idea is to inject bitcoin into Africa in a way that empowers Africans, educates them, and provides an income for them. From Africa, for Africa.
I'm embarking on a motorcycle trip through the continent to make connections and build a solid writer base. Already have five countries on board. Thinking this would be ideal for a geyserfund campaign.
Biggest hurdle right now is to get a solid website design and built and to have someone manage new posts and do website maintenance.

As I mentioned in a previous "What are you working on this week?", I'm still working on a backend that allows to let users to get a nostr nip05 and/or a lightning address on your own domain, in python using fastapi.
It allows to define
  • paid plan (admin can freely define how long it'll extend the item validity), it works with lnbits and having a lnbits wallet is required to use that feature.
  • free plan (same as paid without the need of invoice/billing handling)
  • private plan (invitation key is needed)
  • max item per plan and some others interesting limits
Later I will try to make the customers able to manage their items/subscriptions directly through nostr DMs.
I though don't have any experience on frontend as i'm just an experienced backend dev, I'd like to take your advices on where should i start, React? Vue? Angular?, the backend provides REST apis and Websockets is planned also.

I'm trying to smile more as an habit.
I've read this from different research articles over time. It has been proven that simply forcing yourself to make the shape of a smile makes you feel happier and also have a more positive worldview. Here's one research about it:
The research found that the physical act of smiling not only created internal positive feelings, but also caused participants to see the world around them in a more positive way
