Finally I made the leap to be Nostr exclusive and it feels like a breath of fresh air. X stays up for announcements only.

This is the right move. The community here is real, the conversations are better, and most importantly I own my identity and my data. No platform standing between me and the people I want to reach.

   Update: the App Review Board has confirmed that my Apple Developer account will not be terminated. Sparrow on macOS is safe.

   Thank you to everyone who shared and reached out in the past 24 hours - I’m grateful. Credit to Apple for reviewing the appeal and reaching the right outcome - it could have gone another way.

   The deeper problem hasn’t gone away: apps impersonating Sparrow Wallet are still reaching users and putting their funds at risk. I’ll keep working on this, hopefully with Apple’s support.

   Thanks all.

   For those with X accounts: I would appreciate any reposts of https://x.com/SparrowWallet/status/2069125045167775896.

   Unless Apple’s decision to terminate my Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end.

   🇻🇪 I’m Venezuelan, living in Argentina, and part of @1f24d...03806 . For days I’ve watched from afar as my country was left in rubble by the earthquake — listening to my family, feeling a helplessness I couldn’t sit with anymore.

   So I decided to act. With Bitcoin, without asking anyone for permission.

   My brother and brother-in-law are on the ground helping survivors. Everything I raise goes straight to them: food, water, and supplies for people who lost everything and for those pulling survivors from the rubble.

   My commitment: a photo and a receipt for every purchase. You’ll see exactly where each sat goes.

   ⚡ You can help right now by zapping this note.

   🇻🇪 Soy venezolano, vivo en Argentina y soy parte de @1f24d...03806 . Llevo días viendo desde lejos cómo mi país queda en escombros tras el terremoto, escuchando a mi familia y con una impotencia que ya no aguanté.

   Así que decidí actuar. Con Bitcoin, sin pedirle permiso a nadie.

   Mi hermano y mi cuñado están en el terreno ayudando a los afectados. Todo lo que recaude va directo a ellos: comida, agua e insumos para quienes lo perdieron todo y para los que sacan sobrevivientes de los escombros. Mi compromiso: foto y recibo de cada compra. Vas a ver en qué se usó cada sat.

   ⚡ Puedes ayudar ahora con un zap a esta nota.

§5. Roadstr - v0.3.0

Roadstr is a decentralized road event reporting client built on the Nostr protocol, designed to let users share and receive real-time traffic and road incident data (similar to a “Waze without centralized tracking”) using signed Nostr events and geospatial tagging. This release introduces a new Metric/Imperial unit toggle for speed and distance display, adds a live value indicator for the speed threshold slider, simplifies the main UI by moving keys and settings into the toolbar overflow menu to declutter the event feed, and improves usability with larger, more accessible report-type buttons optimized for easier tapping on mobile screens.

Noscrypt is a Nostr-specific cryptography library written in C that provides low-level cryptographic primitives used to support secure signing and encryption for Nostr applications. In v0.1.15, the release fixes a header-level issue by restoring the missing NC_CC calling convention macro definition (affecting only imports, not ABI compatibility), updates Linux CI setup to use mise-en-place for dependency management, and upgrades the Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk test dependency from 18.5.1 to 18.7.0 to improve build and test environment consistency.

Mostro Core is a Rust-based peer-to-peer library that provides the foundational networking and protocol logic for building decentralized Mostro applications and daemons. This release adds support for an optional fee_token field in CashuLockProof to improve flexible payment handling, upgrades dependencies including sqlx to v0.9 while raising the minimum supported Rust version to 1.94, and includes maintenance fixes such as correcting automated version bump handling to rely on cargo release, along with general changelog and release process updates. This was the latest, and there was also the release of v0.13.2 last week.

This release introduces protocol and transport upgrades including Phase 2 and Phase 3 support for protocol-v2 (NIP-44 direct transport), automatic transport detection, and improved DM handling, along with multiple reliability and UX fixes such as waiting for relay connections before requests, making DM fetches transport-aware, improving Proof-of-Work detection and rejection handling, and ensuring correct admin dispute and settlement flows, plus security hardening for local mnemonic storage and dependency updates to align with the latest mostro-core foundation.

§5. Nostr VPN - v4.0.87

Nostr VPN is a private mesh VPN system inspired by Tailscale, built on a FIPS-backed data plane to provide encrypted peer-to-peer connectivity and routing between nodes. In v4.0.87, the release improves mesh reliability by refreshing stale embedded FIPS direct paths using fresher tunnel data when available, ensuring that active control traffic does not mask dead payload routes and reducing unnecessary endpoint churn by preferring updated and valid routing paths for encrypted communication. This was the latest, and there was also the release of v4.0.85 last week.

This was the latest, and there were a lot more releases last week.
