My guess: relays are purging older events because the data growth is untenable. Concerned about this as centralization force. @sethforprivacy what do you think?

If you open a channel direct, yes. If not, there's some value in that abstraction. However, the timing analysis would still apply as someone somewhere opened and closed a channel and the closing balance might match the amount looped out. It's a nonzero improvement in privacy but far from perfect.

#[3] is far more knowledgeable but the short answer is that the privacy afforded by this approach is incomplete at best. And depends on how thorough a user is. If you do this and then close the channel the amount could likely be matched across balances and timing to assume common ownership. All of chainalysis is just assessing the probability that funds have changed hands. There is also the fact that your counterparty in the example given would have really good clarity on where funds were and where they went.

Connected alby and trying it out again. Don't love just how custodial it is but will figure out the self hosted approach later. For now, how do I change the default zap amount on alby or amethyst?

Not the least bit shocking that companies use all the data you give them freely to better price their products. Here's an idea, stop sharing your fucking phone battery data with third party apps.

Happy belated 10th anniversary of being just embarrassingly wrong, Vanity Fair.

Really hard to do it in a self sovereign manner and haven't taken the time to learn it yet! Trying to avoid custodial solutions on principle.

Caught this one while on the phone with my old man. Call your parents, folks. Thanks, #[1] for the reminder. Praying for you and your family.

I mean during printing. Is your printer setup in an enclosure? I have had trouble with warping at the base on the corners for larger prints. Working on enclosure setup to see if that helps.

Bitcoin Charlotte is growing. Feeling bullish.

Can anyone actually define "first principles"? Seems like a meaningless phrase podcasters have all begun saying
