At long last, BIP341/342 ("taproot") are active on Bitcoin mainnet. Thanks to everyone involved for getting us this far!
The real work will be in building wallets/protocols that build on top of it to make use of its advantages. I'm very excited to see where that takes us.
We are thrilled to launch a new script upgrading mechanism to get your wallet prepared for Taproot's activation on Sunday.
⭐️ Foolproof script upgrading with output descriptors
⭐️ Multisig security with Taproot and Musig
⭐️ Fee savings of 22% on average

Flawless experience using @MuunWallet here in El Zonte to buy all sorts of things with Bitcoin 👌
If you visit, make sure to stop by for a coffee with Karla, an excellent barista.

Siempre digo que cuando le hacés probar lightning a alguien ahí es donde la expresión del otro lado es "Wow". Ayer cerré mi día justo con alguien desde Chile que se acababa de bajar Muun, y por la cámara me mostró el QR así que le mandé 1 USD también y naturalmente dijo "wow"
El Salvador's 🇸🇻 #Bitcoin legislation has been sent to Congress.
It's more #Bitcoin forward than many expected, and would truly cement the nation as the first to adopt the currency.
Still wondering about how soft-forks should be activated in the future? Want to hear from several smart, reasonable people who disagree on the subject?
Join @rusty_twit, @ajtowns, and myself tomorrow at 4PM eastern on Twitter Spaces to find out!
El Salvador is making history today by becoming the first country to consider bitcoin legal tender and committing to hold bitcoins in their reserves.
The first domino has fallen. What follows will be incredible.
Outstanding work @JackMallers@nayibbukele 👏👏👏
Miniscript is a work of art 🙌
I can't even begin to imagine the tremendous effort that went into modeling the problem.
Thanks for all the magic @pwuille ✨
We just released a new version of our recovery tool with a ton of UX improvements!
After rewriting its entire architecture, we got the average time to sweep funds from 4 hours down to 4 minutes 🙀

The bullish case for bitcoin privacy:
In 5 years when you go the corner store to buy a sandwich - you pay through lightning using their btcpay instance - the shop owner isn't going to be able to tell which UTXOs funded that payment.
We just released a redesign of the receive screen! You can now add custom amounts to your bitcoin addresses and lightning invoices.
Enjoy Muun with @ln_strike, @bitfinex, @OKCoin, @BudaPuntoCom, and many others!
