I absolutely *LOVE* watching all these startled brains wrap their heads around an intriguing new idea like BitVM.
You can't ignore it. You must know whether its solid or vapor. You're about to come up with ideas how to improve it!
This is what I'm here for. This is how we win.
In your opinion, is it vapor?
How does a noob join to such awesomeness?
I would learn from cool people (like...you), and contribute where I can. How can someone start on this?
Sorry for the stupid question.
Still trying to wrap my head around it
Need to read the white paper more, but the really big implication for me is the potential for (zk?) rollups and Merkle tree address balance proofs which will allow Bitcoin and Lightning to scale.
I was about to write a book of a reply 😂 I think I'll write my own post about it
Also, Bitcoin and Lightning already scale 🤷🏻
Lightning (L2) scales transactions really well, but not users. Every self-custodial user of lightning needs his own channel(s). The idea behind virtual addresses under L1 addresses is to scale users too. Being able to prove virtual address balances with a BitVM rollup will allow a single transaction on L1 to represent a thousand transactions on L1.5, including channel opens/closes between L1.5 addresses.
Please do and tag me if you remember to!
