BitcoinSearch.xyz: Search Engine for Bitcoin Tech (1 min) Bitcoin Search v2 is a search engine developed by Bitcoin Dev Project that focuses specifically on the technical ecosystem of Bitcoin. The search engine aims to provide highly relevant results for users' specific bitcoin tech needs, and its scope is limited to just that. Users can suggest additional sources to be added to the project's repository of bitcoin tech sources.

Key features of Bitcoin Search v2 include:

The project was announced in July 2024 and is available on GitHub for further development. The search engine allows users to dive deep into technical bitcoin knowledge and retrieve high signal information about bitcoin tech.

Lightning.Pub & ShockWallet: Nostr-based Account System for Lightning (1 min) Lightning.Pub is a new Nostr-based account system that aims to make running Lightning infrastructure simpler and more accessible for individuals and businesses. The system uses Nostr-based accounts for Lightning Network connections and is the foundation for ShockWallet, the first wallet to utilize this technology.

ShockWallet features multi-device sync abilities via NIP78 and allows users to connect to multiple accounts, including legacy LNURL ones, all within a single interface. It also supports node multi-sourcing and automation features.

The Lightning.Pub project is open source and welcomes community support. The developer plans to distribute it on Umbrel/Start9 appliances and integrate product sales hooks. They will also work on creating a client library for static payment codes over Nostr and Nostr-native Lightning Addresses using NIP05 handles.

For more information, you can visit the Devost page or project archives, as well as check out the GitHub repositories for both Lightning.Pub and ShockWallet.

Nutsack v0.1: A Wallet That Lives in Nostr Nutsack is a new, experimental NIP-60/61 client for the decentralized social networking platform nostr. It allows users to have a "wallet that lives in nostr and can be accessed from any nostr client that chooses to implement it." The project is highly experimental and should be used with caution. Nutzaps, a feature of Nutsack, are opt-in and allow for faster and more secure payments on the platform. They cannot go missing and provide users with a unified balance across all their apps. Users can follow the real-time flow of NUTZAPS at nutlife.lol. The project's announcement, archive, and GitHub repository can be found at the provided links.

Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #312 (6 min) The newsletter discusses a new protocol and various updates in Bitcoin services and client software. Firstly, it presents the ChillDKG protocol that allows secure generation of keys for FROST scriptless threshold signatures compatible with Bitcoin's schnorr signatures. Distributed key sharing, verification, encryption, authentication, and non-censorship are included in this novel approach to creating a fully generalized protocol applicable for generating FROST-based scriptless threshold signature keys.

Additionally, Pieter Wuille posted an extensive introduction to cluster linearization, which is the foundation of the cluster mempool. The overview explains various concepts and algorithms involved in its implementation, along with links to relevant Bitcoin Core pull requests.

Regarding changes to services and client software, there are several updates:

  1. ZEUS v0.8.5 release supports BOLT12 offers and BIP353 with TwelveCash service integration.
  2. Phoenix 2.3.1 added BOLT12 offers support, while version 2.3.3 introduced BIP353 compatibility.
  3. Stack Wallet's v2.1.1 release now features RBF and CPFP fee-bumping, as well as Tor support.
  4. BlueWallet v6.6.7 added the functionality to send payments to silent payment addresses.
  5. Strike announced the BOLT12 Playground, a testing environment for offers across various Lightning Network implementations.
  6. Ledger introduced a Python-based testing repository named Moosig for MuSig2 and BIP388 wallet policies in descriptor wallets.
  7. A real-time Stratum visualization tool has been released for monitoring mining activities more efficiently.
