Nostr + LND: your npub becomes a sovereign payment endpoint — here's how NWC makes it possible

Unknown June 15, 2026 0

Most people discover Nostr as a Twitter replacement. That's fine, but it's only the surface.

When you connect your LND node to Nostr via Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP-47), something more interesting happens: Zaps hit your node directly — no custodian, no KYC, no middleman.

The flow looks like this:

Nostr Client → encrypted NIP-47 request → Relay → your LND node

LND node → encrypted response → Relay → Nostr Client

The relay never sees the content. Nobody in the middle knows what's happening.

Manual entry made me a more honest Bitcoin holder — and I didn't expect that

Unknown June 14, 2026 0

Most trackers auto-sync everything. Mine doesn't — you type each buy in by hand. I built it that way mostly out of stubbornness, honestly.

But something I didn't expect happened. Typing in every buy made me actually look at it — the amount, the date, the "why did I do that one." A synced dashboard hid all of that behind a clean number and a green percentage.

The friction I thought was a flaw turned out to be the part I value most. It keeps me honest about what I'm actually doing with my stack.

Does anyone else feel like automation makes you think less about your Bitcoin, not more?

0.5 BTC Reward (~USD 31,000) for Recovering the Password (hashcat)

Unknown June 13, 2026 0

Back in 2013, someone created a Bitcoin Core wallet and encrypted it without giving it much thought.

Over the course of that year, they deposited small amounts of Bitcoin into it. When they later wanted to cash out, they couldn't remember ever encrypting the wallet in the first place.

While attempting to recover access at the time, they filled out the following form (see image).

The version of Bitcoin Core available back then displayed the following recommendation when encrypting a wallet:

"Use a passphrase of ten or more random characters, or eight or more words."

This was only a recommendation. The actual technical requirement was simply that the passphrase contain more than one character.

Today, the owner believes the password may contain the word "wallet" (or its Spanish equivalent, "billetera").

Hashcat hash for anyone who wants to attempt brute force:

In 2018, I made a similar post in the Bitcoin Argentina Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/351870631591732/?multi_permalinks=1569987566446693

For those who don't know me, I've completed numerous projects within that community involving wallet recovery and the recovery of cryptocurrency balances.
