Today I'm happy and excited to announce react-native-turbo-lnd.

TurboLnd is a React Native library for embedding lnd inside an app and calling its gRPC methods and streams through a convenient, auto-completed API.

It currently supports React Native on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. There is also early support for Electrobun on desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux).

To get started, add it to your project:
```
yarn add react-native-turbo-lnd
yarn add @bufbuild/protobuf
```

Then fetch the prebuilt lnd binaries:
```
node node_modules/react-native-turbo-lnd/fetch-lnd.js
```

This lib is already in use in Blixt Wallet. Other wallet developers are welcome to try it out! 🚀

Check out the code here:

To make this lib work, I extended lnd with CGO bindings. You can find that work here:

and

I made a Telegram bot that auto-replies to new or infrequent users.

Scammers impersonating devs and DMing users are very common in wallet chat groups. My hope is that this will prevent people from getting scammed.

The bot written in Deno and you can easily deploy it on Deno Deploy (or self-host on your own server).

Code is released under public domain.
The bot is currently live in our Blixt Wallet chat group.

Example scenario on how the bot works:
```
User: I need help please
Bot: Hi there user. Beware of scammers
<Nasty scammer impersonating a dev DMs the user>
User: Oh nice, thanks for the heads-up, kind bot.
```

We’ve seen that a welcome message isn't sufficient protection as people just don't read these. Even you make it crystal clear about scammers.

My rationale here for the bot is that they will notice if the bot replies directly to the user's message so they get pinged about it.

Cheers guys.

Kotlin error looking good 😎
