#1 🧠 Quotes of the Week
@npub1hz5…tysa
“Some say Nostr is dead.
I say I’ve never felt more alive here.
Because I love it, I believe in it, and it’s simply healthier for my mind and soul.”
@npub14hq…jjzu
“Nostr users are not fighting anyone. They are simply building somewhere else. No meetings with regulators. No term sheets with venture capitalists who want board seats. No compromises with platforms that will change the rules mid game.”
@npub14q8…ct2x
“We are the most powerful and greatest Freedom protocol on the internet, by far.
The amount of knowledge, Passion, and dedication there is here, you can just feel it.

#9 🛠️ Tools, Updates and Releases
1. Amber - v4.1.0-pre1
Amber is an Android Nostr event signer that lets users securely approve and sign Nostr actions for apps and services. This pre-release introduces a refreshed UI for login, event handling, and permission screens, refactors relay counters to use the updated Quartz library methods, and fixes an issue where relay connections were not properly closed when adding unsupported relays. These changes improve usability, visual clarity, and connection reliability, resulting in a smoother and more robust signing experience for users.
Contributed by: @npub1w4u…0jr5
Source: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v4.1.0-pre1
2. Mostro - v0.16.0
Mostro is a production-ready, censorship-resistant, non-custodial peer-to-peer exchange that uses the Lightning Network for payments and Nostr for coordination and messaging. This release refines Mostro’s event model by introducing separate Nostr event kinds for orders, ratings, informational messages, and disputes, and by explicitly including the dispute initiator in dispute events. Alongside documentation updates, these changes improve protocol clarity, interoperability, and auditing, making exchanges easier to reason about for developers and more transparent and reliable for end users participating in Lightning-based P2P trades.
Contributed by: @npub1qqp…l2ng, @npub1qqq…rfkq
Source: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro/releases/tag/v0.16.0
3. Mostro CLI - v0.14.5
Mostro CLI is a command-line tool for end users and operators that connects to the Mostro ecosystem and displays new replaceable events, such as orders, directly from Nostr in a simple, text-based interface. This release adds premium information to the listorders table, making order listings more informative, removes unnecessary dependencies like dotenv to simplify setup, updates documentation to clarify that running a Lightning node is not required, and includes several internal fixes. Together, these changes make Mostro CLI easier to install, clearer to use, and more useful for quickly monitoring Mostro activity and order data from the terminal.
Contributed by: @npub1qqp…l2ng, @npub1qqq…rfkq
Source: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-cli/releases/tag/v0.14.5
4. Alby Lightning Browser Extension - v3.14.1 : 🧹✨🌌 The Witch’s Broom Nebula
Alby Lightning Browser Extension acts as a Bitcoin Lightning wallet and a Nostr key signer, providing deep integration with Lightning, Nostr, Liquid, and on-chain services. This release fixes the extension on Firefox for Android, ensures the correct icon displays in Chrome dark mode, disables context menus on Android, and detects the browser theme for proper icon updates, improving usability, visual consistency, and cross-browser compatibility for end users.
Contributed by: Pavan Joshi
Source: https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension/releases/tag/v3.14.1
5. Bitchat - v1.5.0
Bitchat is a decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app that uses both local Bluetooth mesh networks for offline messaging and the Nostr protocol for global communication. This release adds support for voice notes and images over the mesh, introduces a new mesh routing algorithm, integrates a Tor framework for improved privacy, and implements security audit fixes. These updates enhance user experience by enabling richer media messaging, improving offline and global message delivery, and increasing overall security and reliability of communications.

Source: https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat/releases/tag/v1.5.0
6. Nostr Ynstant Messenger - v2.26.69
Nostr Ynstant Messenger is a lightweight chat client built on the Nostr protocol that supports both ephemeral and persistent messaging, bridging with Bitchat for anonymous, temporary communication. This release introduces peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, allowing users to exchange files directly without relying on central servers. This improves privacy, decentralization, and convenience, giving users more control over how their data is shared. This was the one and only release of the week that adds a feature and there were also some multiple hotfix releases last week. (v2.26.73, v2.26.72, v2.26.71, v2.26.70, v2.25.69, v2.25.68, v2.25.67, v2.25.66, v2.25.65)

7. Mostro Mobile Client - v1.0.7
Mostro Mobile Client is a secure mobile app for the Mostro peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading platform, enabling decentralized trading and encrypted communication. This release adds an in-app logging system for easier debugging, a push notification system with encrypted token registration for real-time alerts, and encrypted file messaging for secure attachments. It also introduces a backup account reminder, fixes issues with order creation times and background notifications, unifies brand colors, improves UI elements, and updates trade and info event handling. These changes make the app more reliable, secure, and user-friendly, enhancing the trading and messaging experience on mobile.
Contributed by: @npub1qqq…rfkq
Source: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mobile/releases/tag/v1.0.7
8. Angor - 0.2.3
Angor is a decentralized peer-to-peer funding protocol built on Bitcoin and Nostr that enables trust-minimized project funding and investment without intermediaries. This release enhances real-world usability by adding automatic monitoring of Bitcoin addresses to invest incoming funds, clearer handling of unconfirmed and reserved balances, and support for Liquid mainnet, while significantly improving the project creation experience with a revamped Create Project v2 flow, new wizard stages, better visuals, and added business logic. Performance and maintainability are improved through deferred loading of project statistics, cleanup of unused investor and founder classes, minor type fixes, and better subscription handling, resulting in a smoother, more robust, and more scalable funding experience for both founders and investors.
