#JoinMarket

2023-01-31

The source code download *.tar.gz in the latest release on github appears to have been modified. If you are currently downloading and re-installing Joinmarket, don't.

Until we figured out what happened.

New release of Joinmarket:

github.com/JoinMarket-Org/join

Good one to upgrade immediately, to remove excessive failed Tor connection attempts to directory nodes, though there are quite a few other minor bugfixes as listed in the notes.

Code rot is a thing, but somehow sending payjoins from Joinmarket to BTCpay still seems to be working (please try it out and tell me if I'm wrong!), despite neither me nor anyone else updating the code for 1-2 yrs.

(If you didn't know, you can send and receive payjoins on joinmarket, the latter using an ephem. onion service)

(My suspicion that there might be problems is mostly about PSBT format updates, which we've ignored, but also the fee handling in BIP78 is tricky).

Some recent stats on Joinmarket from block scanning:

From block 759000 to 759616, representing about 4.28 days, I see 213 JM coinjoin transactions, for a rate of very close to 50 per day.
The false positive rate is non-zero; my guess from sampling is it's actually ~40 per day.

It is also notable that we're starting to see 13-17 party joins, here is one example:

df4fa37a2af2d248750de63279ec124e45e34631e726f66ea5850e696328f59e

- onion messaging is probably helping here.

New minor release of Joinmarket - specifically need to upgrade only for use of the RPC-API, so only really for JAM.

Turns out that *more* than one of the contributors to Joinmarket has had their github account banned/blocked, but it seems not directly related to current news - it seems it happened specifically to people that only logged in via Tor.

I'm not sure of details, obviously, just reporting what I've heard.

Gitlab migration may be incoming.

New release of Joinmarket; pretty important one, communication is now quasi-p2p (though we still have IRC for now, redundantly).

Also we tweaked fidelity bond valuation after some discussion, but everything is user-configurable.

Canvassing opinion on fidelity bond settings in #joinmarket before a new release (not any particular date, just 'soon'):

Merged onion-based message channels for quasi-p2p communication between #joinmarket bots yesterday.

..Well that escalated quickly.jpg

reviving a past project to containerize #bitcoin services at gitlab.com/braneproject/simple
straight forward for now with 'bitcoin-node' multiprocess binary running on #alpinelinux behind a tor proxy.
next up: #joinmarket followed by #i2p

brief tryout of the new JAM interface for #joinmarket. Plenty of things to look at, one thing I like is in advanced mode, it now shows you a 'freeze' button for utxos:

Calling for potential testers of this new onion message channel feature in Joinmarket (it's basically an easier version of what we had before where it was c-lightning+onion):

(some detailed notes on how to test it)

New release of Joinmarket 0.9.5

Includes: send to taproot, fleshed out RPC API (the JM webui guys are going to put out their alpha based on this shortly).

Thanks to everyone who helped out.
