Reminds me of https://grugbrain.dev
“grug wonder why big brain take hardest problem, factoring system correctly, and introduce network call too
seem very confusing to grug”
At least the LLMs will be more based
Anyone playing with Nostr and Bitcoin on #LORa and #meshtastic ? 👀
You can’t route the token itself, but there is a (bit of a convoluted) route using Cashu for USD —Lightning—> USD
Already a thing if you route a Lightning payment between two Cashu mints that support synthetic USD eCash
Renewed screeching about people using Casey’s envelopes to put data on chain is nauseatingly boring. Stop being Bitcoin redcoats and get over it
Ubuntu works when it works, but if you poke it the wrong way wow does it break completely 😂
I'll give them credit only for being fairly good by comparison to other distros for graphics card support (sometimes) and working on AI/ML things; but that's often because those things are so poorly written that they basically assume Ubuntu and don't work properly on other distros
Fedora Silverblue is also a pretty cool project, if you can put up with its compromises https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/silverblue/
Snaps suck, everyone else uses Flatpack. Upstart was a waste of time, everyone else uses SystemD or init.d. Unity was a waste of time, everyone else uses Gnome/KDE. Mir was a waste of time, everyone else was using Wayland; etc. etc. No idea what Juju is but probably also a waste of time.
Ubuntu is a shitcoin, dunno why everyone uses it as 'default Linux', change my mind;
Fedora, Debain or Alpine are the three to go for from shiny-newness to most boring and stable.
Honourable mention for FreeBSD as the so-stable-you-turn-it-on-and-it's-still-running-four-years-later option.
In fairness this is an improvement for Revolut, you used to not be able to withdraw it at all, only sell or send to another Revolut user 🤦♂️
Could that work for complex order types, or is it limited to only simple maker/taker market buys (can’t really think of how you’d add limit orders etc unless the mint can check that when someone tries to redeem)
The moral of nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp ‘s testnet drama is that it’s probably sensible to support all the test networks as you never know which is going to rug when 😂
(Though wen TBTC flipping BSV? Currently BSV at $64, TBTC at $0.63)
Even then, if the source was viewable but nobody looked, what difference would it make if it was closed source?
No-one is reviewing the whole Linux kernel + drivers + firmwares + microcode + etc. etc.

Been thinking about this a bit -- *perhaps*, one of the reasons Lightning has taken so long is that we're only just realising how important the LSP component is. Wallets/nodes that work with a LSP are so much easier to run and use for non-dev and non-in-it-as-a-business people. Even as a dev, I'm fairly hesitant to sign myself up for the maintenance effort of running a normal Lightning node.
Things like Phoenix, nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, Phoenixd and nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg (mutiny server soon! 👀) are just so much easier to work with than "just" run LND/Eclair/C-Lightning/LDK-Node etc. Is the logical conclusion that for Lightning node-running to become prolific, LSPs (or more accurately, a way for nodes to 'buy' inbound from and get channels with others) have to become an inherent part of the Lightning protocol? Feels like it to me.

Fun fact, banks seem much less inclined to close your accounts when you owe them money 😉
There is also signet, which is a different testnet that works more like Liquid where blocks aren’t mined by hashing, instead they’re just signed by a set of known keys. Mutinynet is another signet.
Arguably signet is better for testing Lightning as the blocks are more predictable and shenanigans like Lopp’s attack can’t happen - testnet is useful for testing anything that needs the chain to behave more like actual Bitcoin (mining software, ASICs, reorgs etc)
I believe it’s because people started testing runes on testnet, then started selling testnet runes and testnet-Bitcoin. So attacking the chain was a fairly effective but coarse way to stop that.
A testnet reset is being discussed on the mailing list (testnet4) but a reset has not happened for ages so opinions are mixed so there’s not currently consensus on what exactly to do
