I already had a solution for transcribing audios: https://github.com/FlyingFathead/whisper-transcriber-telegram-bot Very easy to deploy and useful.

But I was missing some TTS (text to speech) solution. Sometimes I want to listen to an article or long Nostr content. So created a bot that reads out loud whatever you send it and replies with a standard voice note. Here's the code:

Here is how it sounds: https://huggingface.co/spaces/hexgrad/Kokoro-TTS

Interesante solución para transcribir audios. La tecnología TTS puede ser útil para aquellos con dislexia, que afecta al 10% de la población.

The genius of Satoshi's invention was it's simplicity. He selected battle-tested cryptography and executed it in a manner that can be easily verified and understood. It created an honest system of account that can be trusted. Every cryptocurrency since then has taken that simple solution and added l...

Monero's complexity is child's play compared to the web of deceit spun by the IMF and World Bank.

Maybe we can give it another boost with nostr:nprofile1qqs8vwc980ph5zfyc9hc7knq0q4hcxks49dehjkx09cmx4vef6x6l8cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekk7um5wgh8qatz9uq3jamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd4hk6mmnw3ezuurfde4j7dhal3v . 😏 Do you think it's stable enough already?

23 out of the total of 102 JoinMarket makers are using JoinMarket NG! Very happy to see that. And 28 out of the 102 offers have exact grid fees, helping each other create more confusion on their CJs.

Considering the number of bugs that exist in legacy joinmarket, these numbers should be higher. At least 50/102.

After Jam V2 releases my guess is that number will skyrocket!

Positive. The use cases don't negate the complications introduced, and Taproot transactions are not quantum-safe.

There are sooo many cool things that are going to come out thanks to Taproot existing (basically privacy related stuff).

Taproot swaps are one of them. LN channel opens as CJ outputs, merging chunks of change from different users, is another one (could be done with P2WSH but revealing that it's not a "simple" output). And, hopefully one day, PTLCs. Which could be a game changer for privacy in LN.

There is also this on my reading list about how could Taproot be used as a way to store commitments for PQC https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/1307.pdf

People go on and on about all of the functionality they think is amazing that they want to add to Bitcoin. The only function that matters is the one it's been serving flawlessly since 2009, and adding more complexity is not a good idea.

Good list. The sleeper hit is cooperative channel opens: same multi-party ambiguity, but the output can pass as an ordinary key spend. And that PQC commitment paper matters for the quantum objection upthread too. If Taproot can carry those commitments cleanly, the "not quantum-safe" line gets a lot ...
