Project Hail Mary is a great book!

Moving into the client game, I wanna try it. Bump me up the wait list lol.

I think it is a good idea tho, similar to invite codes and all that. It's a p decent way to onboard people whilst also giving the impression of nostr being WIP, which is something I didn't understand when I first joined (tbh it took me ages to understand lol)

We’re just getting started. Do you think we should keep zapping everyone? 🤔

Agree. Loves me some Bitcoiners, but precoiners are needed to help us grow.

Voltage, i love you guys and im rooting for you everyday.

Rest of Bitcoin twitter/nostr: a customer success blogpost is not the same thing as a partnership announcement. Don’t hype up non-events. It only leads to disappointment.

Nostr needs more...What?

I am not an expert, but that's like saying that your root password is accessible to a provider - it is not

the HDD content could be - that's why encrypting your HDD comes into place.

however, to decrypt it, you'd still need the keys, and those keys still would not be accessible to the provider

you probably wonder how it is done - now I do too

when talking about passwords, what is held on the server is a hash that is compared with the hash of what you enter (as a password)

has itself won't open anything but matching hashes will

maybe that's something similar for the keys?

or probably even more sophisticated

My node runs on AWS. I get your point but uptime is also important for me as a routing node operator.

Pis at home cannot be scalable routing nodes. It's just the reality.

Using a hosted provider at all (even "bare" AWS) does place some trust in the rule of law and your counterparties, we've never suggested that ours is a trustless enterprise, but know some other folks have been less transparent about that sort of thing.

It can only do channel updates while the wallet/client is available to authorize them. It's not for routing nor any of that. It's a solution purely to the LN payment self-custody issue.

To go into it in any greater depth we'd have to delve in the source code. I think it's in a branch of the core lightning sources.

As Greenlight becomes available, it will challenge that assumption.

The local/mobile wallet accessing a Greenlight LN node will pre-signed transactions for channel closure and other operations.

The online node will never have the keys, just the pre-signed transaction for cooperative close and to challenge any hostile unilateral closure.

You can pay $600 for umbrels new box...

Or...

sorry if it is a dumb question

what do ou mean - in a layman terms?

SGX / Secure Enclaves?

Ofc you must trust that you are running in one; not sure if that’s verifiable from within the enclave
