🗞️ IJMA WALLET NEWS: Latest code is available (v0.3.0) on github: https://github.com/amisatoshi/ijmawallet Still very early days. Project website will be updated soon, hopefully this week, insha'Allah.

BIP39 Autocomplete working! Alhamdulillah! AUTOCOMPLETE: BIP39Input component — a reusable word input that sits at the bottom of the file. It holds its own suggestions state. When the user types 2+ letters it filters the 2048-word BIP39 English wordlist using startsWith() and shows up to 6 matches in a dropdown below the field. Tapping or clicking a suggestion fills the word and dismisses the dropdown. The onBlur has a 160ms delay so a tap on a suggestion registers before the blur closes it — important on mobile. The suggestion display renders the typed prefix in orange and the remainder of the word in normal text, so "aban" → abandon looks like the user is completing their own typing rather than replacing it.

Some eye candy we've been playing around with. The core features for the demo are being worked on, but we're also looking at UI/UX for the target audience. #BitcoinForEveryone #IjmaWallet

IJMA WALLET - update notes A great security UX idea is address highlighting or "canary coloring". I've designed the highlighting scheme for Ijma wallet as follows. Bitcoin on-chain (bc1q... / bc1p...): - bc1q or bc1p prefix → muted/grey (boilerplate) - First 4 chars after prefix → orange (checksum start) - Middle bulk → normal text - Last 4 chars → orange (checksum end, most important to verify) Lightning BOLT11 (...): - prefix → muted/grey - Amount digits embedded in prefix (e.g. 210n) → highlighted - First 6 chars of the hash section → orange - Last 6 chars → orange Lightning address (user@domain.com): - user part → orange - @ → muted - domain.com → normal Nostr npub: - npub1 prefix → muted - First 6 chars → orange - Last 6 chars → orange How the highlighting works: Two functions: AddressDisplay renders the coloured spans, parseAddressSegments detects the address type and returns the segment list. The full colour scheme is as follows: Bitcoin on-chain (bc1q / bc1p) bc1q · wxyz5 · [bulk middle] · 4abc9 grey orange dark text orange The bc1q / bc1p prefix is grey — it's the same on every address so no reason to emphasise it. The first 5 chars after the prefix and the last 5 chars are orange — these are the characters a user should scan when confirming a receive address they've sent someone. BOLT11 Lightning invoice (...) · 210n · 1pvj · [bulk] · 8kl2w4 grey purple orange dark orange The network prefix is grey. The amount (e.g. 210n = 21,000 sats) is purple so it stands out clearly — this is the most critical thing to check on an invoice. First 8 and last 8 chars of the data section are orange. Lightning address (user@domain) amisatoshi · @ · primal.net orange grey warm dark The username is orange because it's the unique identifier. The domain is readable but not highlighted. Nostr npub npub1 · abcdef · [bulk] · xyz123 grey orange dark orange Where it appears: - Receive screen — the address text below the QR code - Send confirm screen — the "To" row is now a full-width AddressDisplay rather than a truncated string, so the user can actually see and verify the full address before confirming. The other rows (Amount, Fee, etc.) remain right-aligned as before.

IJMA WALLET UPDATE: Latest published version of the architecture and design document is available here: https://www.ijmawallet.com/assets/documents/design-doc.pdf

We're going to keep building, fail fast and iterate until we get it right. God-willing 🤲

Something's cooking... 👀

🚨 National Day of action 🚨 🛑 Stop Bombing Iran - Hands off Lebanon – Free Palestine We're calling on local groups and activists who aren't able to join the march in London on Saturday to organise or join local actions 🗓️ 21 March 📍 Cities, towns, communities #StopBombingIran #StopArmingIsrael #StopTrumpsWars

Episode 8, The Great Financial Hijrah, serves as a fitting and inspiring finale to the Riba Resistance Podcast’s first season. It reframes the conversation around Bitcoin from mere economics into a deeply spiritual and communal journey. The hosts articulate a compelling vision: Muslims stepping away from fiat systems built on riba and moving toward a sound, ethical, and transparent monetary standard rooted in Islamic values. 🌙 A Moral and Spiritual Migration The episode positions Bitcoin as more than a tool—it becomes a means of reclaiming dignity, sovereignty, and amanah. By linking monetary integrity to iman, family stability, and community resilience, the hosts elevate the discussion beyond finance. This framing resonates strongly with listeners who see riba not just as a technical issue but as a spiritual hazard. 🧭 Practical, Actionable Guidance One of the episode’s strengths is its grounded practicality. The hosts outline clear steps Muslims can begin immediately: - Stacking sats consistently, even in small amounts - Eliminating interest-based debt as a form of purification - Supporting small businesses and local economic ecosystems - Building alternative communities that embody Islamic ethics These steps make the “financial hijrah” feel achievable rather than abstract. 🤝 Community as the Engine of Change A standout theme is the call to create Majlis-style learning circles—small, supportive groups where Muslims teach one another, share experiences, and grow in financial literacy. This decentralised, grassroots model mirrors both Islamic tradition and Bitcoin’s ethos. It’s a refreshing contrast to top-down financial institutions. 🔚 A Season Finale with Purpose The episode closes with a reminder that knowledge without action is incomplete. This final message ties the entire season together: understanding riba, learning about Bitcoin, and exploring alternatives only matter if they lead to real transformation in our lives and communities. 🎧 Overall Impression Episode 8 is a thoughtful, motivating, and spiritually grounded conclusion. It leaves listeners with clarity, conviction, and a sense of responsibility—not just to adopt Bitcoin, but to become educators and catalysts for ethical financial change within the Muslim ummah.

Hansen Malau has created a brilliant, age‑appropriate introduction to money and Bitcoin for young children. My First Money & Bitcoin Coloring Book turns big concepts—barter, shells, gold, paper money, blockchain, and Bitcoin—into simple, joyful illustrations that kids can colour, draw, and make their own. With 42+ pages covering 21 money topics and 21 Bitcoin topics, it gently builds financial literacy in a way that feels like play. I especially love how the book includes creative prompts, a parent guide, and conversation starters for different age groups. It’s thoughtful, accessible, and genuinely useful for families who want to raise financially aware kids without overwhelming them. If your children are younger than the audience for Bitcoin Is Halal, this is a perfect starting point. Hansen—who translated Bitcoin Is Halal into Bahasa Indonesia—has crafted something lighter, friendlier, and beautifully suited for ages 4–8. A wonderful gift for curious kids and a great tool for parents beginning the money conversation at home.
