Vik Sharɱa - Cake Wallet & Radar Chat 🇺🇸 📡

Today we are launching @RadarChat, a messaging app that combines Signal's encryption with built-in Bitcoin Lightning payments, and because it's a Signal fork, you can keep messaging your existing Signal contacts from day one. No convincing friends to switch apps. The idea: you can already message someone privately, so why bounce out to Venmo or Cash App and hand your financial info to a third party every time you want to send money? Radar keeps both in one place. Send a message, send sats, all in the same conversation. What it does: ✅Works with your Signal contacts - it's a Signal fork, so the messaging side inherits Signal's encryption model and interoperates with the Signal network. ✅Private by default - Signal’s end-to-end encrypted messaging. ✅Bitcoin Lightning under the hood - fast, cheap settlement, non-custodial. Send within chats or externally.  You can just use it as your Bitcoin wallet! ✅Your seed phrase is encrypted and saved on Signal servers.  Lose your phone or app? Just restore Radar with our phone number as you normally do, and get your wallet back! (Although we still recommend that you write down your seed phrase) The privacy of Signal. The convenience of instant private Bitcoin Lightning payments. Backed by @egodeathcapital and built by the team that brought you @cakewallet It's live now. I'd love feedback from this community, so give it a try and tell me what works and what doesn't. You can download it now on the Apple App Store now and Google Play soon. Learn more at radar.chat!

I'm going to give myself a shoutout here :)

Shoutout to all of you who are leading with kindness at all times .. I'm proud of you 💜

@stutxo @secondhq nice

successfully completed two ark unilateral exits from noah wallet, powered by @secondhq it took a while, and would have been quicker than a lightning unilateral exit (2 weeks) if i didn't forget about it half way the complete on-chain exit used 25 transactions: • 12 exit transactions (fees: 0 sats) ty @glozow • 12 CPFP transactions (fees: 5,527 sats) • 1 final claim (fees: 221 sats) mempool.space/tx/4ff264fa294… THE EXIT TREES (transactions below) R1: 78,534 sats │ A ├── 2,539 leaf └── B │ C ├── 10,050 leaf └── D │ E ├── 1,020 leaf └── F │ G ├── 330 leaf └── H │ I ├── 21,105 leaf └── J └── ★ 43,490 leaf (my leaf) R2: 1,330 sats │ K ├── 330 leaf └── L └── ★ 1,000 leaf (my leaf) ★ Both leaves → claim 4ff264… CHAIN ANCHORS R1 mempool.space/tx/9f385a915c9… R2 mempool.space/tx/5b95eca9df6… EXIT TRANSACTIONS + CPFP FEES A - exit mempool.space/tx/fcf466c5f96… CPFP - 382 sats mempool.space/tx/32ccb289e50… B - exit mempool.space/tx/0bd8e8c8720… CPFP - 432 sats mempool.space/tx/65f703094bb… C - exit mempool.space/tx/225bc272861… CPFP - 675 sats mempool.space/tx/c937b604da1… D - exit mempool.space/tx/54d806fe830… CPFP - 298 sats mempool.space/tx/3985881d92b… E - exit mempool.space/tx/69f3adb9d50… CPFP - 356 sats mempool.space/tx/97430a502fa… F - exit mempool.space/tx/39ff562d5e8… CPFP - 555 sats mempool.space/tx/156d5dbeb84… G - exit mempool.space/tx/110cc7ea355… CPFP - 712 sats mempool.space/tx/40f5cd429e7… H - exit mempool.space/tx/27097fdb497… CPFP - 585 sats mempool.space/tx/c409a877a07… I - exit mempool.space/tx/46bee223ee4… CPFP - 555 sats mempool.space/tx/7768c518c98… J - exit mempool.space/tx/7c2d03f8977… CPFP - 297 sats mempool.space/tx/7a510e912d5… K - exit mempool.space/tx/936ad40a17c… CPFP - 341 sats mempool.space/tx/a8a9f19e579… L - exit mempool.space/tx/5a3feacb30f… CPFP - 339 sats mempool.space/tx/91bc71c5e08… FINAL CLAIM - 221 sats mempool.space/tx/4ff264fa294…

Look how beautiful this is. Monero wins again! 🤩

Maelstrom just added Tadge Dryja as the 6th recipient of their Bitcoin Grant Program. @tdryja co-invented the Lightning Network, created Discreet Log Contracts, and authored Utreexo. He will be focused on research to harden bitcoin for a post-quantum era. Dryja is one of the most accomplished open-source bitcoin developers working today. Maelstrom's grants range from $50K to $150K per year, paid monthly in BTC or stablecoins. He joins five other developers on the roster.

@Kruwed @krakenfx @cakewallet That's Changenow.. not Cake Wallet. You are really moronic. Our partners do THOUSANDS of trades worth tens of millions PER DAY in Cake Wallet with no issues. Keep trying to push your FUD for whoever you are working for. It's not working though.

@vikrantnyc @krakenfx @cakewallet Go ahead and explain yourself:

With @krakenfx policy change on Monero, it further strengthens @cakewallet’s position as the best place to get Monero.

We've been heads down building and so have our partners. In the last two of weeks: 🔥 Send USDT/USDC was released 🌍 @blinkbtc added non-custodial accounts 💬 @RadarChat launched with instant bitcoin built-in 🆕 12 more apps were announced in our Class of Q2 Bitcoin in every app 🔜💪

Full interview with Vik on why he started @cakewallet We cover: 💥The Coinbase ban that led to Cake Wallet 🔓Why BTC isn't as private as people think 🔒Silent payments, MWeb, and Zcash 🔐Why some never admit they own XMR Full convo on Techlore Talks: youtu.be/nimtOXBMom8

Thanks @TechloreInc ! Its always a pleasure talking with you.

@mike_4131 @krakenfx @cakewallet limit on XMR deposits and withdrawals starting Aug 15

@vikrantnyc @krakenfx @cakewallet what was their policy change?

@Kruwed @krakenfx @cakewallet Cake Wallet doesn't freeze anything. you're an idiot. Try to understand things before posting.

@vikrantnyc @krakenfx @cakewallet Cake Wallet freezes user funds, you might not get that Monero you paid for.

Building Radar on Signal’s network opens the door for the people already using private messaging every day to explore Bitcoin without changing the way they communicate.⚡️ Appreciate @davidgokhshtein and @cryptolandy for the thoughtful conversation with @vikrantnyc!

Day 5/30 of my Web3 Brand Outreach Challenge. Today I explored @RadarChat A project that brings private messaging and Bitcoin payments into one app. It's a simple idea that could make sending Bitcoin feel as natural as sending a message.

@ctcheeto @cakewallet @krakenfx @THORChain Already there, we just have to turn it back on

@vikrantnyc @cakewallet @krakenfx Plz integrate @thorchain when possible

@vikrantnyc @krakenfx @cakewallet Facts 🍰🧡🍰

@bitlarrain Cake will support Ironwood!

Ironwood loading… zcash:native 🛡️🪾

@OrangeFren @stevenroose3 I think we really made some people panic with adding it to Radar.

@vikrantnyc @stevenroose3 There's real tradeoffs to Spark but that attack made no sense

Another great classy tweet. Thanks @stevenroose3
