You mean the fee issue you described in your recent article?

I just came across that article today. Very helpful, and I'm kicking myself for not coming up with the chaumian ecash solution which makes it more difficult for the WabiSabi coordinator to link inputs and outputs

Could/Should/Does Joinmarket use the chaumian system too?

On Android, I think it's possible to make PWAs that can respond to these custom URLs and which will work offline

How about having URLs that begin with njump: or nostr:

Then we could have apps and browser plugins that handle it according to the user's preferences

I just used Runstr for the first time

A few sets of "diamond pushups", to make push-ups interesting

Here's a photo from a couple of weeks ago

I go up to my shoulders in the water every time. And sometimes I do a little swim also, but not today

It's much easier than you might think! Especially if you do it with a group. And it's a good workout as your body spends a lot of energy keeping warm

Start as I mean to go on this year. More github commits

We spent a few minutes in icy water in Berlin this morning

Ice Dippers Berlin, one of us took an axe to free up some ice to get in

Does spending eight minutes in icy water in Berlin this morning count as a workout?

While I'm not working full time on bitcoin, I definitely am giving it more thought - and maybe time - than my fiat job 🙂

So I think I know what you mean and I feel the same.

I only started really studying and contributing this summer, and I'm very happy to be in this great community

The first season isn't great, but second is good

What do you think?

Having spent a few weeks in their 'Fork Talk' group chat, it's clear to me that nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp00qjrgs is deliberately lying. His bots in the group chat kept repeating his nonsense

A minority hashrate soft fork will split the chain. This is what we'll see in September. The majority hashrate will "do nothing", i.e. run the "Taproot" rules that are being run by almost everybody today. BIP110 will, assuming it's gets nonzero minority hashrate, split the chain and therefore we'll have a second token

This is obvious, but Luke pretends otherwise.

Anyway, thanks for making this post as it gives me an opportunity to block more of the bots that rise in response 🙂

The CIA invented Bitcoin,

but lost control of it in the Blocksize War

How much inbound liquidity do you need?

I don't expect I have enough on my little node, but that info might help others

Why are there two in Zapstore now?

I think you explained this before, but I forget

bitcoin-calendar.org hasn't been responsive for at least the last few days

I've been using since September for 99% of my code, but I haven't really researched how to use it. For example, I don't really know what you mean by subagents

So I guess I need to pause hacking (briefly!) and learn how others are using AI

Can't make it. Maybe #40c3

You're being too simplistic

Shitting on those kinds of companies sounds similar to the way no-coiners shit on Bitcoin

Saylor can borrow money on much better terms than most people can, so it makes sense for people to invest in MSTR

The extreme case of this could be very interesting for game theory, leading to just one notary getting a very large monopoly

Imagine a single notary does a deal with all the big mining pools which together control 90% of hashrate

That notary could advertise: "give me 10 sats and I'll notarise it as 50 sats".

As they control 90% of hashrate, they will on average get 45 sats back from those 50, and hence the real cost to the notary is just 5 sats (on average) compared to the 10 sats that they earn from the creator of the nostr content

With CSV, the delay is just about 15 months, and that's short enough that the big notary is happy to wait

I think the only solution is to really make sure that today's miners don't see any value from the burning, so either notarizing to an OP_RETURN, or use CLTV to send it very far in the future

Just telling my parents now that I'm into bitcoin. They're more open than I expected

Using cashu.me , I got my mum to pay a few sats to the Lightning Cats, and she loved it

Now trying to get my dad to bet on sports at Predyx. None of our family are into gambling, but it's an easy way to spend a few sats

Happy Cashu-mas everybody

I'm using Blossom to host videos, specifically using HLS so the video is split into many segments - of varying bitrate and quality - and so a 'dumb' HTTP file server like Blossom works perfectly

All the complexity - e.g. adaptive bandwidth use - is client-side, but hls.js is an effective library to make it easy to develop

In my use case, I'm developing a 'Cashu payment channel' which allows tiny Bitcoin payments at very high frequency and therefore a streaming video service where you pay per second is a good demo.

(I feel like I may have misunderstood you a bit. What do you mean by 'formatted'?)

Has VPS hosting too

Not super cheap, but I'm very happy with it

So you're saying that miners would delay the notarization transaction until the height specified in the CLTV, so that they can notarize and redeem in the same block

Yes, they could in theory, and that would allow the cheating that we discussed before. But they're not going to delay the notarization transaction for decades, if we're sending it decades into the future

The end users of the system (I mean the users of nostr clients who are consuming nostr events and want to see which events have burned sats associated with them) are looking for reliable notaries, i.e. notaries that get the notarizing transactions into blocks within hours or days (not years or decades).

The end user's software could easily check that the notarization transaction is mined at least N blocks before whichever height is specified/implied by the CLTV or CSV locks

I'd like a version of this bot that posts less often. Maybe once a day is about right.

It could post the biggest transaction. Or a single post summarizing all the day's transactions

Does your Cashu mint (fully) support P2PK, e.g. with SIGALL? A simple tool to run some checks against mints.

A few links below:

- youtube demo video

- a link to the tool

- github. It's just a static page, hosted on Github Pages, easy for anyone to clone [and edit] and host. It uses some CDK functionality, so you'll see the repo is a CDK repo with this extra stuff in /web/nut-10-checker

The Rapture already happened around the year 2015. We didn't notice, because so few people were worthy of being taken

This DVM stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I pay it a few sats, but I can't see the results. It worked fine for a few weeks, but stopped recently

If I exit and return, it just asks me to pay again
