i work on stacker news

every lightning node is a bitcoin sidechain

I created a GitHub issue for improving our NIP-46 support. It should work with nsec.app. You can also link other auth methods to an account at the bottom of your settings (which will work on mobile).

What do you mean by convert? If you want to make a GitHub issue, it’d be easier for us to track/discuss.

Most of all, I want to hear why whatever you choose to write about is hard. Why don’t we have p2p mining pools that work well? Why is self custodial lightning hard? Why is lightning liquidity hard? Why are covenants without more op codes hard? Why is privacy hard?

We have a lot of content that’s like “it’ll be amazing when this-cool-thing-thats-theoretical-and-a-decade-away exists” and “this is exactly how this thing works.” I want to know what’s in the way between where we are now and where we want to go.

Write about what Bitcoiners need to attack - not how, but what and why. Layout the unsolved problems without ramming a pet solution down my throat.

Someone is replying to me with pictures of men holding featherless flesh colored ostrich necks.

bitcoiners believe core controls bitcoin because they want to believe bitcoin can be controlled

If you were making commits they can usually be restored even if you lose references to branch tips.

Custodial services are unambiguously treated as money transmitters and money service businesses by current law, and this law does not change any laws wrt custodians. Ecash mints are custodians. Federated mints might be an exception given that control isn’t unilateral but no one knows.

Unfortunately, any ecash mints, or bitcoin custodians, serving US customers without money transmitter licenses and registering as a money service business are operating illegally.

This why wallet of satoshi left - there was fear these laws would start being enforced.

This is why services like Primal KYC - to comply with these laws.

This is also why you hear the term “custodial anarchy” when people talk about ecash. The premise of the ecash regime is a mass protest of these laws (awesome).

Where lies are easy and truth is hard, lies win.

We proxy all invoices (like lnproxy) to take this 30% fee noncustodialy and atomically.

I like to call it proof-of-sacrifice.

technology doesnt make us smarter

it makes our stupidity more powerful

Bike shedding OP_RETURN limits isn't a sign of ossification. It's the cure.
