Let me start with an analogy:

On mainnet, when Alice wants to send to Bob, she has 2 options:

1. Sign transaction and broadcast it (Bob will find it on mempool)
2. Sign transaction and send it to Bob (Bob can broadcast it immediately or later)

Let’s call it Send and Send Async respectively.

Announcing my latest pet project, Helm Wallet.

I believe there’s a huge gap between the ease of use of Wallet of Satoshi and the self-custody of Phoenix. To minimize this gap, I created a new web app, a wallet that has the self-custody of Phoenix and is easy to use as WoS.

Helm is a Liquid wallet that uses Boltz submarine swaps to disguise itself as a Lightning wallet that even your grandma can use.

But it has a cost.

Buy gift cards from The Bitcoin Company and pay with Liquid BTC:

• Buy gift card (includes VISA)
• Capture Lightning (LN) invoice
• Call Boltz and make LBTC => LN swap
• User pays LBTC with Marina wallet

Nostr stands for “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays”. It is a decentralized social network protocol that aims to create a censorship-resistant and user-empowered alternative to existing social media platforms.

Sighash, short for Signature Hash, is a concept within the Bitcoin protocol that determines which parts of a transaction are signed. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the security and integrity of the Bitcoin network.
