I released an update to vue-money-button today: https://github.com/libitx/vue-money-button Highlights include: * Compatible with Vue 2 & 3 * Exposes the Invisible Money Button API for use in your components * Supports the preserveOrder option Note that this is a major version upgrade - meaning breaking changes! The default export of the package has changed from a Vue component to a Vue plugin, which affects how you use it in your app. All is explained in the README.

Introducing "Linked Identities" Bitpost now lets you cryptographically link your identity with other 3rd party apps, wallets and services. This works similar to Keybase's sigchain feature, just we Bitcoin keys and the Bitcoin blockchain. If you link your Money Button or Relay identity you'll be able to benefit from 1-click sign in from those services. But this also opens the door to much smarter interoperability between Bitcoin apps.

Paypresto gets an update today with he following improvements: * Support for the Open Payment Protocol which opens up support for Volt wallet and Maxthon browser's VBox * Better handling of some of the Bip270 quirks so Handcash, Simply Cash and Electrum SV can be served by the same QR code Totally planning to change Paypresto's strapline to "We endure the ball-ache of supporting umpteen different P2P protocols so you don't have to" šŸ˜… Check it out: https://www.paypresto.co/

Whilst watching Coingeek Live last week, I ported my Shapeshifter Elixir library over to JavaScript. Introducing Shapeshifter.js Code: https://github.com/libitx/shapeshifter.js Demo: https://libitx.github.io/shapeshifter.js/ Shapeshifter allows you to effortlessly convert Bitcoin transactions between common serialisation formats. It supports, raw hex and Buffer, bsv Tx instance, and TXO and BOB objects. Enjoy šŸ»

How should a Bitcoin app authenticate its users? @joshua has recently been advocating Bitcoin-native user authentication - essentially some kind of challenge/response mechanism where a user signs the response with their wallet. Powping itself I think uses this kind of model. https://coingeek.com/logging-in-with-bitcoin/ I like this idea, but truth is there is nothing like a standard for this, so apps implementing this approach need to do it wallet by wallet - effectively creating a hard depend

Does a Bitcoin app need to use the blockchain? I’ve been *very* impressed with Powping. Paradoxically though, it’s probably true that its main innovation is that it doesn’t use the blockchain. I’m curious whether you feel this is a needed rethink of what a Bitcoin app looks like, or does it stretch the limits of what we can truly call a Bitcoin app? Has the Powping model caused you to rethink the apps you’re working on or inspired you to try different experiments in terms of what does and doe

I published a new Elixir package today to help with the simple task of converting Bitcoin transactions to and from various common formats. Released today: Shapeshifter https://github.com/libitx/shapeshifter Shapeshifter allows you to: - Convert TXO and BOB formatted transactions back to structured Bitcoin transactions. - Convert a Bitcoin transaction straight to TXO or BOB without having to go on-chain and through Bitbus. - Flip between TXO and BOB and back - Convert to and from raw binary tx

I've created my own Powping channel "Krafty Bits" for anyone building on Bitcoin. I'll use this channel to announce new updates to my apps and open source tools, you can ask me anything about any of my Elixir or JavaScript libraries, and any other discussion related to the fine art of building on Bitcoin is welcome. Join now: https://powping.com/c/53cbaa528912d075122f1852de5e9a7a3f7904152dc4ecf24e5dd08da5c5ae5a Just remember the rules...

I've released version 0.2.0 of Txbox, which packs a significant new feature. Txbox is now a fully automated Miner API state machine. When adding transactions to Txbox, you can now set the state to one of: * `pending` - for incomplete, draft or off-chain only transactions * `queued` - will be queued up to be pushed directly to your configured miner * `pushed` - miners will be polled until the transaction is confirmed Depending on the given state, Txbox will automatically queue and process the

I've given the Paypresto widget a design overhaul. I've stripped the design back quite a bit as I feel a widget like this needs to be sufficiently minimal so that it can fit in to different contexts and always feel integrated with the host app and website.

I created a quick demo page to demonstrate how Paypresto can be used to not only create non-standard outputs, but also spend them... all from your favourite consumer wallet. In this demo you can create an R-Puzzle in one transaction, then spend it in a second. Read through the instructions, it all should be pretty clear.

I've released a new version of the paypresto.js client today. The main change is that the client now uses TxForge for building transaction instead of the bsv2 TxBuilder. This gives you more accurate fee estimation, plus the ability to use Casts as either inputs and outputs. See https://www.paypresto.co

Noticed the powping tx don't use any Bitcom prefixes - just an app specific op return schema. I get you don't need to with the p2p approach... but not necessarily helpful for others who may want to scan the chain. Is Bitcom dead?
