Just published my explainer + tutorial on Silent Payments (BIP-352): https://bennet.org/learn/silent-payments-bitcoin-privacy/

Publish one reusable `sp1` address and share it anywhere, yet every payment lands on a different on-chain address, with no public link between them. No XPUB, no sender interaction.

Sparrow + a Frigate server makes it practical to set up and test today, even without running your own node. #bitcoin #privacy

Been working on this a long time: https://bennet.org/learn/what-is-bitcoin/

It’s a first-principles explainer of Bitcoin, with interactive demos throughout. Incorporates much of what I’ve built this past year. Feedback / suggestions appreciated 🙏

I’ve built an interactive explainer for Bitcoin mining - it walks through hashing, proof-of-work, and the difficulty adjustment from first principles. Enjoy!
