Joinstr App v0.1.1: UI Improvements, Testnet & Mainnet Support

Joinstr is a free and open-source coinjoin implementation using Nostr relays for coordinating coinjoin transactions.

Joinstr App v0.1.1: UI Improvements, Testnet & Mainnet Support
  • v0.1.1 of Joinstr App for Android has been released.
  • It comes with UI improvements, ability to select wallet in settings, Riseup VPN implementation, testnet and mainnet support, and more.
"Review the code, verify APK, test it and share your feedback. Join Simplex Chat group if you need signet coins and other peers for testing," said the developer.

What's new

  • Improve UI.
  • Remove BIP 32 derivation paths from signed PSBT.
  • Wallet selection in settings.
  • Riseup VPN implementation.
  • Support Testnet and Mainnet.
  • Fix fee rate estimation.

How it works

  • A new public/private key pair is used to create pools and send join requests. All other communications occur over an encrypted channel where peers share a key. For a coinjoin round, all pool members use the same IP address provided by Riseup VPN.
Note on Sybil Resistance: "It is still being researched and will be implemented in future version using autct which allows users to prove ownership of UTXO with certain amounts without revealing UTXO itself."
  • DoS vectors are reduced by using encrypted Nostr channels for each round and encouraging the use of paid, private, custom Nostr relays.
