Interesting. Let me get back to you tomorrow. If you can send me the npub that might help. It's probably b/c we're still hardcoding relays or b/c the android app is out-of-date. We're iterating much faster on iOS. What was the other device running?

“Monero in 2025: Persistent Use and Emerging Network-Layer Insights,” published February 13, 2026.

Persistent use despite regulatory pressure: Monero (XMR) transaction activity remains stable and resilient, at a level higher than before 2022, even though many large platforms have delisted it or listed it with restrictions, and enforcement pressure on more “transparent” crypto assets has increased.

Preferred in theory, less used in practice (ransomware): Ransomware actors often prefer XMR for privacy (even offering “discounts” if paid in XMR), but most actual ransom payments are still in bitcoin, due to ease of acquisition, liquidity, and ability to convert at scale.

Greater adoption in darknet markets: In 2025, nearly half (48%) of new darknet markets supported only Monero, a sharp increase from previous years and a sign of a shift toward privacy coins in high-risk environments.

Effect of delistings: less liquidity and more friction: The article highlights that, following restrictions/delistings on large exchanges, liquidity is more concentrated in offshore or lower-compliance venues, contributing to more volatility and making XMR use more operationally “frictional.”

New focus: the “network layer” (P2P) and its implications: TRM and academics analyzed the behavior of the P2P network and found that ~14–15% of reachable peers exhibit non-standard behavior (timing, handshakes, peer list composition, etc.). They do not automatically equate this with malice, but they do observe infrastructure concentration (a few operators/environments host a disproportionate share), which could provide structural visibility into message propagation and affect certain theoretical assumptions about anonymity, even though Monero's on-chain cryptography remains intact.

In 2025 we supported the founding of , the first educational Bitcoin community in Mozambique.

Now we will travel to Maputo to run a series of workshops together with Bitcoin Famba.

Workshops for Civil Society, Journalists and Communities
will include:

Bitcoin – an introduction, how to install a wallet, and how to store, send, and receive Bitcoin safely

Nostr – earning Bitcoin for your content

– obtaining Bitcoin without an ID to protect your privacy

Bitchat – communicating without an internet connection

AI tools – using and to safeguard your privacy

BFF will co‑host the inaugural BitDevs meetup in Maputo with Bitcoin Famba on 7 March 2026. The agenda includes:

BitDevs – the history, goals, and mission of BitDevs meetups

Job and learning opportunities for Mozambican developers in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem

Ecash & Fedimint – secure community custody and offline payments

Visiting New Bitcoin Circular Economies

at Maputo Skate Park
Lwandi Surf

I'm not really sure about this, but I think I'm in a slowly growing group of people who are gravitating to this thesis: between witness encryption (WE), functional encryption (FE) and indistinguishability obfuscation (iO), listed in increasing order of power and decreasing closeness to actual existence, there is a slowly clarifying path to bitcoin becoming practical. It's "practical" already, to be clear, especially with Lightning (confident in saying so, as I actually use it, unlike all the influencers on twitter). But that's quite limited. The potential future is one that's a lot more fun and a lot less about arguing with each other ... a bit like the very early days where for a lot of people Bitcoin felt very "the sky's the limit" in terms of introducing whacky new schemes and systems. A lot of that was kind of deluded, but at least it *was* fun, something that's a bit lacking "here" nowadays (yes you have it on nostr, sure, but nostr is not money!). If we even get the simplest of the 3, witness encryption, with enough generality, it could obviate the need for lots of arguments about op_codes and people will be able to build genuinely interesting offchain constructions where people can do things like super-low cost txs without any setup or collateral, or engage in bets or smart contracts etc. etc. .. with WE it's clunky because of the background onchain plumbing being a bit messier. With FE you can have the same things, or better, and it's a lot more streamlined, I think. But FE only exists in sort of toy form for now (so called "inner product functional encryption" is very elegant but extremely limited, afaict). As for iO, it allows you to do .. basically exactly anything (every existing crypto primitive can be done with iO, and others too), which is probably why it remains just a theory for now.

Normally I like the gym at night, when it’s less crowded. But I think I’m going to have to start a morning routine otherwise I’ll never leave my computer 👀 I’m afraid to launch Claude Code before the gym, yesterday I had breakfast, sat at my computer and only managed to step away for dinner, but started back at at it again as soon as I got home and then couldn’t stop vibe coding until 7am 🤖 I’m addicted!

All creation groans under the strain of sin. Our sin literally broke the universe. But one day God will change this worn-out universe like an old, dirty garment. He will make all things new. And in the new Heaven and Earth there will be no more curse from sin. No more pain, no more suffering, no more tears, and no more death. There will be no need for Bitcoin, for lies and theft will be no more.

Take a moment today to count and be thankful for the blessings in your life. Daily trials push them to the background but that's the devil's work.
