What would you say are the primary problems with using Liquid Network for scaling?
We have to identify problems before they can be solved.
Yes. The typical 'fix' added in MMO's are money sinks, to cause players to lose money, thereby seemingly counteracting some of the apparent inflation.
Taxes and fees are money sinks that won't fix inflation (expansion of the money supply).
Thanks for the response.
My Blixt wallet is connected to 4 peers. If I press + I have the menu "Connect to lightning peer", asking for node URI. If I type in the node public key of one of the nodes in the list I get an error message saying I am already connected to the peer.
I suspect it's the low fee in sats (less than 1500 sats) that is causing the tx not to be mined. I see RBF is active on the tx so I might have to bump the fee up.
Sounds like a form of determinism. If you do X in situation A, you are bound to do Z in a completely different situation B. Since A and B are the same we can expect a mechanistic relationship.
All fine after a few bottles of wine, heh.

Now it's been 3 weeks and the LN channel hasn't closed yet. Still saying "Waiting for close". Limbo balance.
Yes, it took me several minutes to find out, never heard about him before. Milei had already said that he would speak up against Agenda 2030 in Davos so I was expecting critical voices.

It is satire but neck tattoos are not unwelcome among globalists. I met a manager with a neck tattoo who talked about "building back better".
Hmm, I'm seeing people say that he is a media content creator and that it is a montage.

Blixt Wallet is back with the final release in the 0.6.x release line, v0.6.9-420. Nice!
This version has a new feature for Android, Lightning Box.
Lightning Box is a service letting you receive via a Lightning Address non-custodially to your Blixt.
https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.9-420
Lightning Box works in conjunction with Persistent Mode that was released in Blixt Wallet v0.6.9.
For things to work out well, make sure battery optimization is disabled.
Battery drain is expected to be low or not noticeable if things go as expected. Reach out if you have issues.
The Lightning Box service will forward Lightning Address (LNURL-pay) requests directly to the wallet app on the phone, so it can respond back with an invoice created by the wallet itself.
This means that while this service is not a custodian, there is still trust involved.
Lightning Box is free and open-source software and anyone can choose to run their own service provider.
https://github.com/hsjoberg/lightning-box
In Blixt Wallet settings, you can easily change the server to your own.
The Blixt Wallet project will host a Lightning Box instance for @blixtwallet.com addresses.
A draft bLIP specification for the inner workings of this protocol can be found here:
https://github.com/hsjoberg/blips/blob/lnurl-forwarding/blip-lnurlforward.md
It is built using Lightning P2P messages, so any lightning node wallet implementation can choose to implement this protocol.
That's all for now. Cheers and Happy Blixting! π‘β‘οΈ
A bit unrelated, but I closed a LN channel on my Blixt wallet node some two weeks ago and it's still "waiting to close". After the second day I set it to force close, which will take longer time. I am not aware of any setting to adjust the fee; the fee was rather low and hasn't been picked up by miners yet.
Just had a look at the mempool today and the average tx fee is $1.61.
