#BTCPay 2.0 has landed

quoting nevent1q…prcn

BTCPAY 2.0 IS OUT!!! 🚀

https://blog.btcpayserver.org/btcpay-server-2-0/



BTCPay Server 2.0 realigns the internal architecture with the lessons we’ve learned since 2017, positioning us to better support both plugin developers and ourselves as we implement new features.

🌎New interface localization
🧭New sidebar-only navigation
📲New onboarding flow for new users and Point Of Sale
🏬Three new e-commerce integrations @Wix, @Odoo & @BigCommerce
🙌Checkout v2 default
🎨Branding enhancements



While it may not seem immediately obvious, we expect users to see the full potential of 2.0 in the upcoming months, as the ecosystem continues to thrive and build on top of it. With BTCPay Server 2.0, we’re introducing breaking changes in our API that allow us to eliminate the technical debt that has accumulated over the years.

Updating to BTCPay Server 2.0 is a one-way process with no option for rolling back. Because of that, we're making it opt-in, requiring that you SSH into your server and run:

git fetch
git checkout 2.0
btcpay-update.sh

Seamless integration into existing systems remains one of our top priorities, and we’re excited to introduce three new e-commerce integrations that expand the possibilities for merchants:

- Wix
- Odoo
- BigCommerce

If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you might notice that some are disabled after updates - we do that to prevent server crashes.

If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you may notice that some are disabled following updates - we do this to prevent server crashes. If you rely heavily on plugins for your BTCPay operations, we recommend that you double-check compatibility and look for announcements from plugin developers regarding their support for version 2.0 before proceeding with the upgrade.

Boltz (npub1psm…8970) has updated their plugin, so take a look at it how they did it as an example.



In the end 💚 Thanks to all that contributed

With 2.0 we wanted to do all the hard work, most of which may be invisible, but it sets a great base on what we’re aiming to do in 2025. Keep an eye on the upcoming minor releases that we’ll ship if we notice any bugs. In the next few big releases we’re hoping to ship some of the most requested features that further enhance our mission.

Super-special shout out goes to our community testers, who went beyond and above testing the 2.0: @cypherpunkstore Decentralized (npub1qqq…hrhr) djuri (npub1k5f…vqg2) @JoinStrainly.

We hope you enjoy what this update has to offer. As always, thank you to our invaluable contributors, who directly participated in making 2.0 possible: d11n (npub14j7…gtpf) @dstrukt @jackstar0512 kukks (npub1y24…z2ad) ndeet (npub1qm7…74md) NicolasDorier (npub1zfy…m60l) @nisaba Pavlenex (npub1za0…dur3) @TChileta webworthy (npub1rj7…jpw2) ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg)

Final thanks - of course - goes to https://foundation.btcpayserver.org supporters who are ensuring our FOSS work is sustainable and are helping us make this tech available to everyone!

Alex (npub1q3s…d26p) is working on a new r3emote signer and nsec bunker

quoting nevent1q…y655

GM! I have been building a new remote signer and bunker. So I decided to make some diagrams about NIP-46.

I think it's important to think about the RPC layer as separate from the Nostr Connect layer. This makes everything make so much more sense, and if you separate the two parts in your code the code is going to be more maintainable.

Multi-million dollar NGO planning to use GrapheneOS

quoting nevent1q…v25d

#GrapheneOS device deployment and management was mentioned in the requirements for a director-level job vacancy in a large (multi-million) NGO about wildlife and environment preservation. Their overall security commitments outside of their mobile security demands is also very impressive.



It is great to see big organisations with big requirements choose GrapheneOS because they know we provide security and privacy other platforms do not have. For too long users with tougher security requirements were left in the dark because every commercial OEM is often thinking about seamlessness or user experience. Users should have the choice to go above.

Let it be a message to every exploit broker and mercenary who tries to use our name / the platforms we support for marketing an urgency to attack our work: You cannot claim your actions to be for the greater good. You want to target a project that protects people in organisations campaigning for a cause far more important than yours. GrapheneOS works for good while you arm oppressors who work agsinst causes like the ones above.

The security community's greatest principle is transparency and you can't claim yourself to be trailblazers when you keep research a secret and we will continue our work in spite.

#Coracle security issue, reported fixed by hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn)

quoting nevent1q…e3vt

**Security Update**

I've got some bad news for you guys. This morning, as I was adding error handling to flotilla, I discovered that Coracle has been sending user session objects to bugsnag when reporting errors.

Who is affected: Users who triggered an error in Coracle while signed in with their private key, since December 5th 2023.

What I've done:

- I immediately released a new version of Coracle, both to web and to zap.store
- I have deleted the affected apks from my releases
- I have deleted all my error data from bugsnag
- I have deleted my bugsnag project and rotated my api key, so lingering error reports will be dropped
- I have audited my code for use of the session object to ensure nothing else like this is happening

What you should do:

- If you're logged in with your private key, log out
- Hard refresh the page to ensure you have the latest version of Coracle

The bottom line is that if you signed in to Coracle with your private key, it has been shared with me and with bugsnag. In practical terms, your keys should still be secure, since they were sent over TLS, and have been deleted. But there is no guarantee I can offer that they are in fact gone.

I take my users' privacy seriously. My error reporting implementation doesn't record user IPs, it redacts identifying data, and it allows users to opt-out. I also warn the user when they attempt to enter an nsec into a text field. In this case, I simply screwed up, and I sincerely apologize. Reply to this note if you have any questions.
