I think the issue was that our load balancer wasn't passing the user's IP to the relay properly so it thought all users had the same IP. Should be resolved now.

Also yes we are open source and our NWC implementation is here: https://github.com/coinos/coinos-server/blob/master/lib/nwc.ts

You may not be tech savvy but you surely developed other very useful skills in your trade: in particular spotting BS.
I remember in my old Samsung phone I had a bunch of apps I couldn't uninstall and there were many processes and data sharing on the background that I never allowed and couldn't even stop, I always felt the machine didn't really belong to me, it was given to me on lease and Google was the real owner. I understand your dislike for Apple.
The switch to graphene was my latest, a few years back I changed to Linux and that was around the same time I got into bitcoin. Now I feel all those things are related, it's about freedom of choice and being able to decide based on one's own best interest.

The Pollard’s Kangaroo interval ECDLP solver algorithm appears to be an attempt to break the SECP256K1 encryption which is used by Bitcoin to implement its public key cryptography. The TeamTNT group is using the computational power of the compromised targets to run the ECDLP solver.

So no, I don't think the headline is misleading. Only that "under attack" doesn't really mean much. They can try their luck if they want. I am confident in the underlying crypto.

In other words: Bitcoin's "encryption" has been under attack for ever

I'm staring to test more and more the app that our team is building and so far the experience has been amazing, I just used it yesterday to gift $10 each to my cousin and her husband who haven't really been exposed much to Bitcoin.

The first I asked was what action do they think they would like to experience in order for them to help them start getting an understanding of Bitcoin, they first wne with that they wanted it "save it" but then quickly changed their mind and asked how they could "spend it" so I onboarded them with the exprience of me sending them $10 via the app https://lgt.st then they claimed their sats and I onboarded them by downloading Wallet of Satoshi, withdrawing their sats and then setting up an account with https://paywithmoon.com so they could load up a virtual visa card with $10 and add it to their Apple Pay. Now they can go get a coffee or something with the sats that I sent them ✌🏼 Perfect way for them to make the connection that I just sent them $10 that never went through a bank or any entity and they immediatly received their funds and were able to turn that into a visa card they can go spend at a physical location.

Now my task as well with our team we have to translate this whole onboarding experience into a self-onboarding guide within the app.

Another thing I'm super excited about is that we're starting to creat a Scoreboard for the app to see other user's Orange Pilling orange 🍊💊 activity! I think this could spark a lot of interest with Bitcoiners, the cool thing about it is that since you can set an expiration date to the gift/tip if the user does not claim and withdraw their funds it's not a succesful conversion. Only if the user claims their funds and downloads a LN wallet on their own that would be considered a successful conversion.

You can check out the scoreboard here https://lgt.st/scoreboard
