Have you ever tried using lightning over Tor? 🍿
Discussion
and? its an alternative.
why is bolt 12 an attack on lightning?
They're using it to push fedimints compatibility, effectively forking the network.
It has no grassroots dev, just salaried and smug a-holes cashing checks from the spooks at Spiral and Blockstream. (and CIA money via the HRF)
Well-funded groups on the digital dollar RFP, per the ECash Act floated around Congress 🫰
It will also make UX slow and unreliable because of it's Tor-like dependency, hurting adoption.
The only mitigation for the performance tradeoffs is to turn lightning into a cloud-first centralized network, like greenlight.
It doesn't add any capabilities that aren't done better with other proposals, which they gaslight ad infinitum.
It's like they want to do things the worst way possible.
Bad actors, bad tech, bad outcomes.

Dude. WTF are you talking about? Bolt 12 has little to do with Fedimint. I’m actively involved on the project.
Not too closely it would seem? its right in the GitHub issue.
Which GitHub issue for what project?

Here is the public discord. Feel free to join. I’d be happy to walk through the code with you.

You’re chasing shadows. But don’t trust me, come verify.

Link to ecash Act?
ECashAct.us
The bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to develop and pilot digital dollar technologies that replicate the "privacy-respecting" features of physical cash
Fedimint interoperates with bitcoin base chain and via the LN. 
1. Fedimint is not USD denominated. It’s on a sat standard.
2. It is not issued by the govt, although the govt is welcome to run FOSS code if they choose.
3. Anyone can run FOSS so it is available to public use
4. It’s based on bitcoin with 1:1 reserves. And requires LN nodes to interop with other projects on bitcoin.
5. Yes. It does this. 
The stack can use any backing currency, you can spin up ECash from literally nothing.
Banks are a proxy for government.
Reserves as still trusted and political, there's no cryptographic certainty.
Offers are not reverse compatible, there's also no meaningful privacy enhancement with banking scale mints.
1. Sure. This what crypto has been doing. Is crypto a CIA op too?
2. Agreed!
3. Correct again! https://gist.github.com/callebtc/ed5228d1d8cbaade0104db5d1cf63939
I assume nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg is an asset of the banks too for creating Cashu?
4. I know nothing of Bolt12 or Offers so can’t comment.
Fwiw. Crypto totally could be a CIA/bank op to suppress bitcoin (as seen by FTX)
Crypto? Probably, sprinkle in Mossad, UFW, GCHQ, etc. (Fwiw tho I also think Bitcoin is an NSA white hat op)
Calle took HRF spook money so might just be a useful idiot.
The ECash libs already existed, not sure to what extent they've been improved. Cashu though does plenty of affinity scamming as a Bitcoin project, tsk tsk.
