Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) is an open protocol to connect lightning wallets to apps
Nostr is so much more than just "decentralised social media". It's a neutral communication protocol that allows for high degree of interoperability between bitcoin and other technologies.
NWC allows for sustained interaction
between bitcoin lightning wallets and apps.
Once an app connection is created,
the app can request payments through a Nostr relay.

Bitcoin Layers
bitcoinlayers.org, @BitcoinLayers
Bitcoin Layers is an educational tool that helps users understand the risks associated with various protocols that support Bitcoin and BTC the asset. We analyze risk primarily for protocols that claim to be a Bitcoin L2. The project is free and open-source under an MIT license. Anyone is welcome to use our code and risk framework for their own project.
We use the term "Bitcoin Layer" to describle protocols that claim to be Bitcoin Layer 2s. There are many definitions that exist for the term "Layer 2", but the two primary ones are protocols that enable unilateral exit, and/or protocols that add more functionality to BTC the asset and inherit security from Bitcoin. We use the term "Bitcoin Layer" as an agnostic term to describe Layer 2s, sidechains and more. We do not define protcols as Layer 2s, as any offchain scaling protocol presents a different set of trust assumptions to users. We analyze these protocols against a generalized, opinionated framework that we developed to show users the relevant trust assumptions for each system.

Block Hunters the board game
https://geyser.fund/project/blockhunters
Blockhunters explains difficult bitcoin concepts in a fun way, bringing the orangpillling of friends and family to another level.
BLOCKHUNTERS is a thrilling board game with all these elements woven together. It teaches high-level concepts by calling players to work together and against each other to win the game. It is made for bitcoiners, precoiners and anyone with a competitive spirit (ages 12+) to enjoy.
Ultimately, Blockhunters was designed as the perfect tool to orangepill your loved ones.‎
We (Arnold & Emily) want to bring our prototypes to reality and into the hands of plebs. The game is already on its 4th iteration and the prototype has been played dozens of times, adjusting the gameplay closer to optimal each time.
To make the next steps (final prototype > last round of testing > professional design > manufacture > launch)happen, we need external funding to help us achieve this!
For more details about the game, photos of all our past prototypes up to this point and what we would like to achieve, check out the entries here on Geyser, with most importantly the entry called 'Blockhunters v0.9' for the latest updates.

Runes
Runes is a new proposed token standard on Bitcoin that makes it easier and more efficient for users to create fungible tokens on the blockchain. ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum are the most common fungible tokens today.
Runes is designed specifically for the launch of fungible tokens on Bitcoin, unlike Ordinals, which allows for the creation of NFTs. Runes uses "edicts" - small, lightweight transactions that can be used to transfer ownership of tokens without clogging up the Bitcoin network.
Runes uses Bitcoin’s UTXO model and the OP_RETURN opcode to simplify the creation and management of fungible tokens. Each Rune transaction can specify multiple operations across different Runes. In the event of a token transfer, the Runes protocol will split the UTXO into multiple new UTXOs based on the instructions in the OP_RETURN data.
Why Runes? What are the Benefits? Runes aim to simplify fungible token creation on the Bitcoin blockchain, minimizing on-chain footprint and improving UTXO management. It offers users a simpler way of creating fungible tokens on the Bitcoin network, relative to other alternatives like BRC-20, RGB, and Taproot. With Runes, users can create multiple tokens and manage them easily on-chain, without needing to rely on off-chain data or native tokens, or generating a significant amount of “junk” UTXOs.
Runes launched on Bitcoin Block 840,000, at the Bitcoin halving on April 20th.

Seed Hammer
Our ultimate goal is to empower everyone to self-custody their Bitcoin in an easy, convenient and secure manner.
To be more specific we want to empower individuals at every stage of their Bitcoin custody journey, starting from receiving their first Bitcoin and extending all the way to spending it from a self-sovereign cold storage solution.
This journey involves several key steps, including generating a secure seed, funding a wallet, creating backups, facilitating recovery, and enabling seamless spending.
The part of the journey we are working on now is the backup and recovery.
We want to enable everyone to produce self-sovereign steel backups of Bitcoin wallets.
The process must be user friendly, intuitive and simple. Recovery should be as easy as scanning a QR - and for multisig: possible with the minimum amount of shares. The solution must be air gapped and trustless, based on open source software and robust enough to be used by anyone from sovereign individuals to nation states.

Peerswap
P2P Btc lighting network balancing pool
PeerSwap enables Lightning Network nodes to balance their channels by facilitating atomic swaps with direct peers. PeerSwap enhances decentralization of the Lightning Network by enabling all nodes to be their own swap provider. No centralized coordinator, no 3rd party rent collector, and lowest cost channel balancing means small nodes can better compete with large nodes.
PeerSwap currently has a working implementation for both CLN and LND nodes.
At the moment PeerSwap is suitable for power node operators with Linux command line skills. Implementations of control panel GUI interfaces are currently underway which will make PeerSwap easier to use for ordinary end users.
Opposite approach to most existing balancing methods.
If you balance channels only with direct peers it is very reliable.
Rather than opening more and bigger channels, you can cheaply refill channels you already have to the desired balance.
Fixes balance without harming other nodes.
Opening new channels is recommended not for the purpose of balancing, but if you want a more direct connection with a frequent source/destination node.
Multiple optional swap types.
Currently BTC & L-BTC onchain swaps.
Additional wallet options can be implemented.

Intro
Welcome to the Tokyo Citadel Builders podcast. This show is hosted by 3 Christian bitcoin maximalists in Tokyo. The ever pessimistic, Doomer Dash. The overly contemplative, meta Mike. And me, Andy. We agree on very little except that bitcoin is money and a tool we can use to help build a better future. We discuss current topics in Japan and Bitcoin and how our lives are impacted by the growing bitcoinization of the world . We interview builders on bitcoin to highlight and learn about how bitcoin can help us push back against government encroachment, enable us to retain financial sovereignty and empower us to secure ourselves against corporate and government surveillance. Sat by sat we are building a bitcoin economy in Tokyo and connecting ourselves to citadels throughout the world.

Satsback.com
What is satsback
Satsback is an evolution of cashback and loyalty rewards. It is the reward you earn by using Satsback.com when you shop online at any of the connected stores. The satsback reward is a % of what you spend that you get back in bitcoin. They have a good list of stores similar to Bitrefill or the bitcoin co. Nothing japan focused yet but some offerings are international so you can use them from anywhere.
How does Satsback.com work?
They work with online stores that pay a commission whenever you shop with them. They convert that to bitcoin and share most of it with you. They make a small profit every time you buy something, they can keep our platform free to use while respecting your privacy.
How to shop with satsback?
Once you have signed up, go to the Stores section and find the online store where you would like to shop. Then, visit the store using the green 'Shop now' button and shop as you usually do. Complete your purchase, and they automatically add satsback to your account. You may also download our browser extension that will alert you to activate satsback rewards when visiting participating online stores. As long as you don't return or cancel your order, you will be able to withdraw the sats to your mobile wallet. It's the easiest and safest way to start saving in bitcoin.
@satsback or satsback.com
Main topic: escaping the fiat mines part 2
If Bitcoin is going to eat the world, would it not mean every single business will be a bitcoin business some day? If so, is every single industry and incumbent business up for grabs? Will we see a bitcoin first online retailer flip Amazon? Or will Amazon embrace Bitcoin in time? Or is Bitcoin inherently decentralized so we will see a bifurcation of the permissioned, KYC CBDC markets and the open, decentralized, free Bitcoin markets?
What are the options to get into Bitcoin as a career? Or… stay in your fiat job, rise to the top, and use your influence to bring your fiat company to Bitcoin?
Risks of being all-in on Bitcoin. Risks of not being all in? Risks of being half in.
From a selfish point of view, is it better to earn maximum amount of fiat and convert that the KYC free sats DCA and just HODL? Or do we have a moral obligation to do more?
Is the power of Bitcoin that is compels us to action? How much free will do we even have to make this decision? Is the meme of Bitcoin working within us to make our ever increasing commitment to Bitcoin’s success irresistible?
Could “workig in bitcoin” just be as simple as being a hairdresser who accepts bitcoin? An account who understands bitcoin taxes? A bookstore which stocks Bitcoin books? Is an ever growing population of bitcoiners with ever growing purchasing power going to incentivise more businesses to start adopting a bitcoin strategy? Or will those not “all in” inevitably miss the revolution and start shitcoining?
How much is shitcoining or being half in an issue? Standard notes, Casa examples. Even Proton not supporting LN.
Does Bitcoin have more real building than other projects?

Tunnel Sats
Tunnel Sats provides scripts for lightning nodes enabling hybrid mode (Clearnet & Tor) and offers paid VPN servers on various continents for fixed terms. Our secured and LN-only configured VPNs support port-forwarding to connect with other lightning nodes.
The lightning network functions in rapid growing speed as infrastructure for payments across the globe between merchants, creators, consumers, institutions and investors alike. Hence the key pillars of sustained growth are their nodes, by providing reliable, liquid, discoverable, trustless and fast connection points between those parties. For fast communication establishing clearnet connections between nodes is inevitable.
The effort of creating a valuable “clearnet over VPN” node is quite high and intense because it touches several disciplines not every node runner is comfortable with. Required knowledge of the command line, firewall handling, network details, trust in and choosing of a suitable VPN provider that offers all the features we need and cares about privacy and security and, of course, the configuration of the lightning node itself makes it easy to just “leave it as is”. Therefore we came to the conclusion that this process has to be simplified a lot.
Why should youuse this service?
Providing Lightning ⚡ Services is about privacy, reliability, connectivity, speed and liquidity. Relying your node connectivity to a single service Tor is a risk regarding connectivity and network stability, as anyone running a lightning node can testify. With Hybrid1 connectivity, you offer your payment and routing services to be faster, more reliable, and yet, there is a privacy concern when you do it with your home-IP: you both expose your rough location of your node, potentially your home and your node’s system to attacks from the internet. With our solution Tunnel Sats, you get the best of both worlds. Your node and home IP stays hidden, behind Tor and our VPS public IP address, which will be your node’s face to the public internet, is shared with other peers. You may see higher reliability causing not only higher uptime, fewer offline peer nodes but also greater routing numbers. This isn’t a promise, but an eventually expected outcome.
You also provide better user experience for customers actually using lightning as a payment system, which you could argue is the largest benefit.

Intro: Welcome to the first recording of the Citadel Builders podcast. This show will revolve around Discussions with pleb builders actively looking to build a bitcoin circular economy and bitcoin citadel. Advance the use of Bitcoin/LN for day-to-day transactions and for long term savings, reducing the corruption made possible by fiat money and its destructive consequences. And hopefully we can tie this all in to raise awareness of the dangers of ever-encroaching government and corporate surveillance and talk about practical steps people can take to increase their privacy and sovereignty, which must ultimately culminate in building and participating in a circular economy of free and sovereign individuals.
