Just finished the last upgrade I plan to do for a while on my desktop today. Documented here:
Glad you're here! Creator adoption is crucial for the growth of Nostr.
I just got NIP-05 working on btcfur.com! If any furries here want to join me and #[0], DM me here and I can get ya added.
The MuSig2 BIP authors have requested a BIP number. We'll probably be discussing this at the next BitDevs:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1372#issuecomment-1450378930
It's the specification for efficient Schnorr multisigs using Taproot.
lol, makes sense. I have 60-something relays. You could say, I get around 😼
High time preference mentality. We care about 2140 but not 2150? 😹
Seriously! It's like watching people on Star Trek doing business in pieces of eight or doubloons. Incredibly anachronistic.
To fully prevent MEV, you need a UTXOs-based system, and also you need transaction privacy. Bitcoin, Lightning, and RGB solve for this. Distributed state using off-chain, layered approaches like LN and RGB lend privacy by default, and also protects against hot contract exploits. And miners cannot extract value if there are no blocks to be mined, or if the token transfer state transitions aren't kept in the blocks.
Forget unobtanium, interstellar travel, and big blue cat-people, the least believable thing to me in Avatar, to the point where it breaks me out of the movie, is that dollars haven't hyperinflated by the year 2150. They're lucky a Big Mac doesn't cost $20 million.
Bitcoin *is* RGBCoin, sats are the fee token. Few understand.
A part of me finds it reassuring there is no possible way I can get reminders or notifications from my watch. It helps deal with that stress a bit.
I think I'm a recovering smart watch user. It's just such a huge relief to not be bothered by notifications and such all the time on my wrist. I'd stopped wearing mine, but I like having the time on my wrist. So I got a reasonably-priced Titanium Citizen watch, and now having something on my wrist is almost giving me... Reminders of how stressful strapping reminders to your wrist all day really was. I'm growing out of it, but jeez, people just don't realize just how much tech has come to impact our lives...
As of 778277, we are 1.1735 years from the next halving.
This already exists, it's called RGB21... See more on rgb.info and rgb.tech. RGB is nice because it's an entire generalized smart contract framework, that keeps the vast majority of its data off-chain. Only on-chain bytes needed are to prove ownership and the capability to spend. Only 111.5 vB in a TapRet commitment, anchoring up to 16MB of contract data. More could be added using something like carbonado.io.
I've been following Dioxus for a year now, and I'd say it's more production-ready than I've ever seen it. I'll have to try it out again in our BitMask wallet at some point, but I would recommend it over Yew and Mogwai. Never used Leptos. Iced is cool, and I would really like to try that first, but my fallback would be Dioxus.
Actually, it's this one:

Clojure isn't worth bothering with. Check out the article where Discord used Rust to speed up a Clojure data structure. Why bother with Clojure when you can use Rust directly and still get the same level of type correctness? I'd recommend Tokio + Axum server for a modern app. Dioxus for frontend.
Bitcoin doesn't have to be perfect to replace all money. Future soft forks may be very challenging, even more so than SegWit and Taproot. I'm in favor of protocol ossification as new functionality and scalability can happen through layers. Both Lightning and RGB both prove that, as a payments L2 and contracts L3, respectively.
