Hello Stacker News! I make zines (short for magazine) about bitcoin tech. Today I'm excited to be share a new one on silent payments.

➡️ https://satsie.dev/zines/silentpayments

Pages 1 - 4: What are silent payments? How do they work? What's the trade off?

Pages 5 - 8: A deeper dive into how the on-chain receiving address is generated, why it's more work on the receiver to recognize silent payments, and a word on the current state of application development.

As always, the zine fits on a single 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper (A4 format not available... yet!).

Print it at home, cut on the dotted line and fold. You can also read it online.

For both options, visit https://satsie.dev/zines/silentpayments

This zine would not have happened without @yashraj's patience and persistence. He's been asking for this for a loooong time and even made a UX edition of the zine for designers. Check it out here!

Here are pages 1 - 4 of his UX zine

And pages 5-8!

Lastly, a HUGE thank you to my reviewers: Keith Mukai, Conor Okus, @yashraj, Seth for Privacy & Josie Baker

Thank you for verifying the technical accuracy & for helping me make this as concise as possible, even when that meant rewriting sections! This peer review is invaluable 🙏

p.s. if this is your first time seeing these, I have more. Go to https://satsie.dev/zines!

Please open your zaplocker to accept the zaps you've received. Those zaps can't influence ranking until the payment settles.

Oh thank you! I’m having issues with my Lightning Address in Zeus. Will try to fix this ASAP
