Xiaogang, Anhui - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaogang,_Anhui
> In December 1978, eighteen of the local farmers, led by Yen Jingchang, met in the largest house in the village. They agreed to break the law at the time by signing a secret agreement to divide the land, a local People's Commune, into family plots. Each plot was to be worked by an individual family who would turn over some of what they grew to the government and the collective whilst at the same time agreeing that they could keep the surplus for themselves. The villagers also agreed that should one of them be caught and sentenced to death that the other villagers would raise their children until they were eighteen years old. At the time, the villagers were worried that another famine might strike the village after a particularly bad harvest and more people might die of hunger.
> After this secret reform, Xiaogang village produced a harvest that was larger than the previous five years combined. Per capita income in the village increased from 22 yuan to 400 yuan with grain output increasing to 90,000 kg in 1979. This attracted significant attention from surrounding villages and before long the government in Beijing had found out. The villagers were fortunate in that at the time China had just changed leadership after the death of Mao Zedong. The new leadership under Deng Xiaoping was looking for ways to reform China's economy and the discovery of Xiaogang's innovation was held up as a model to other villages across the country. This led to the abandonment of collectivised farming across China by 1983 and a large increase in agricultural production. The secret signing of the contract in Xiaogang is widely regarded by historians and media as the beginning of the period of rapid economic growth and industrialisation that mainland China has experienced ever since.

Happy to follow you and to see some contrarian opinion.
Bitcoin's value comes from being decentralized ans secure, and that hasn't changed. Bitcoin promises: censorship resistance, absolute property, ...
NGU is great, but it's not guaranteed or even the biggest value proposition.
Doing as well as the SP500 in the worst time frame that you could pick is still a great baseline. I think most people here would be willing to give up a few percentage points for the sake of sovereignty. Those percentage points would have been taxed away or confiscated somehow anyway in the KYC'd SP500 shares.
It's very unrealistic to expect for a 2T market cap asset to just go up and to the right unbothered.

What they've added only later is the possibility to enable PoW for hidden services created through RPC via ADD_ONION. Before it was only possible through the torrc file, but makers use ephemeral onion addresses for privacy.

There's someone flooding all JoinMarket makers with !orderbook requests. Making them run out of storage with several GBs of logs per hour and also filling their CPU cycles. It does so through direct onion connections (last time was through directories) and with a bunch of nicks in parallel.
I've implemented Tor level DDoS protection through a dynamic PoW requirement (0 in normal cases) in a branch of jm-ng as an experiment: https://github.com/m0wer/joinmarket-ng/pull/108/changes It only works with the alpha release of Tor, but an expected release might come soon.
I didn't know about this feature from Tor, but it's really neat. Some more info here: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/dos/

No external audit yet. I'm trying to get funding for that. And also looking for more eyes on the code on the day to day. If you know anyone interested for either please let me know.
For the adoption, I'm the only maker at the moment with some bot for mainnet tests. The NG orderbook has peer feature detection. Any maker with features is a NG maker: https://joinmarket-ng.sgn.space/
So sadly no active users, just people trying out stuff (and helping me a lot with catching bugs and improving UX). A bit of a chicken and egg problem.
What's working great is the new orderbook watcher in general and the two NG directory nodes, that were the only ones to resist some DoS attack recently.

2026-01-16 06:45:48 UTC

All an existing maker needs it's the mnemonic! There is also fidelity bond auto discovery. And next in the roadmap is supporting external storage as fidelity bonds. So makers can start saving bonds in cold storage or reuse existing ones without reusing the mnemonic. In fact a maker could run both the reference implementation and JM-NG with different wallets and the same bond for experimenting.

2026-01-13 14:45:05 UTC

I've updated https://m0wer.github.io/joinmarket-fidelity-bond-simulator/ to include some optimistic ROI figures. With the assumptions of 2,000 JoinMarket CoinJoins monthly of an average size of 2M sats. Then, estimate how often each offer is picked and see the profitability divided by the bond size (not value). As if it were some kind of savings account. And only considering the locked coins in the bond, not the liquidity in the mixdepths.
It's really interesting to see that the optimal is definitely not being the largest bond! Since we assume 8 makers per round, it's “easy” to be chosen there often even without a large bond. You can see that the “smartest” bonds are 4.4 BTC (number 1 in ROI) and 2 BTC (number 3 in ROI).
Have fun with the tool!

https://gist.github.com/m0wer/27599b1057840ba9418d9d2ce9d559c2
Calendar Blockers - Create privacy blockers across multiple calendars
This script automatically creates "blocker" events on target calendars for every event found in source calendars. The blocker events only show a generic title (e.g., "private" or "busy") without revealing actual event details, helping maintain privacy when sharing calendars.
Use Case:
- Share work calendar with personal calendar without revealing details
- Create busy blocks on shared calendars while keeping event info private
- Sync availability across multiple calendar systems
Features:
- Configurable blocker title
- Optional padding time before/after events
- Supports recurring events
- Dry-run mode for testing
- Works with vdirsyncer or similar calendar sync tools

About the first question, no changes yet. The "features" field in the handshake has been extremely helpful to not have to create a new major version. And we'll try to jeep things that way as long as possible.
About CJXT. The end goal is what you described in your video. But a nice starter would be to hide roles by moving fees to LN somehow.

JoinMarket NG
Announcing today a full rewrite of all JoinMarket components in modern Python. Focusing on performance, maintainability, and extensibility. While maintaining compatibility with the existing JoinMarket network.
https://github.com/m0wer/joinmarket-ng
Why JoinMarket? Has no central coordinator: most censorship resistant and peer to peer.
Why a rewrite? The reference implementation has served the community well for years, and we're deeply grateful for all that the contributors have done. However, the project is no longer actively developed (181 open issues and 41 open pull requests) and had architectural limitations such as relying on Bitcoin Core's BerkeleyDB wallets (deprecated since v26.0.).
New features:
- Support for light clients using Neutrino
- Rate limiting to prevent logs flooding
- Extensive protocol and implementation documentation
- Realistic E2E tests including reference implementation makers and takers
Future plans:
- Nostr relay integration
- Lightning Network integration (CoinJoinXT) to hide roles and eliminate fee traces
- A lot more ideas
Help wanted:
- Funding: Applied to HRF Bitcoin Dev Fund and soon to OpenSats. Other grant ideas or direct donations welcome.
- Security: Need sponsorship or a volunteer for external security audit.
- Contributors: Peer review, testing, documentation.
Entrypoint for migrating makers: https://github.com/m0wer/joinmarket-ng/tree/master/maker#migrating-from-joinmarket-reference-implementation
The reference JoinMarket served us well for a decade. Let's make sure the protocol thrives for the next one.

2026-01-01 09:20:33 UTC

There is an ongoing attack against JoinMarket makers where a random nick not serving onion constantly sends !orderbook requests through directory servers. The makers and directories mostly cope with the load, but the log files, which have a hardcoded debug log level, grow several gigabytes per hour and crash many makers.
A solution is to setup hourly log rotation. In Debian systems, you can move logrotate from daily to hourly cron using:
```
dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /etc/cron.hourly/logrotate /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
```
The default user data directory is `$HOME_DIR/.joinmarket`. Create a logrotate config:
```
/home/user/.joinmarket/logs/*.log {
hourly
size 100M
copytruncate
rotate 24
notifempty
missingok
}
```
To install and test, save the config to `/etc/logrotate.d/joinmarket-logs`, test it with `sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/joinmarket-logs`, and force run manually with `sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/joinmarket-logs` or wait for automatic hourly execution via cron.

Blockstream Jade Security Disclosure
https://blog.blockstream.com/jade-security-disclosure/
**TL;DR:**
**Vulnerability:** A buffer overflow bug in Jade hardware wallet firmware (versions 1.0.24-1.0.36) that could allow malware on a connected computer/phone to crash the device or potentially extract the user's private keys.
**Practical implications:**
- **Only exploitable if:** Device connected via USB/Bluetooth to malware-infected computer AND device was unlocked on that interface
- **Not vulnerable:** QR-only mode, uninitialized devices, or if using official Blockstream app on clean devices

I think that's exactly the point. Same way vote intention polls affect the election results. But in prediction markets being wrong has a cost, and being right a reward.
Furthermore, there are outcomes that can be economically relevant and not changeable. For example if there's a hurricane tomorrow in x location. One might want to hedge against that. Others might want to improve their estimations for profit.
Not everything is black or white, I think prediction markets can create value. Same as insurance companies.
