Neanderthal hacking on Bitcoin stuff. LNHANCE please!

They tell you a lot imho. They tell you whether someone is a spammer, or annoying, or just plain new, but they're imperfect signals of course.

Yeah, he's also just wrong about the privacy point.

He's right about custody though imho. OP's attempt to show ECash isn't custodial feels tortured.

I'm sure there's like 4 different colors from which the rest are derived if I looked at the less/sass/whatever source, but I don't have a way to build it right now.

Bluacle? I kinda like it tbh

(I didn't change all of the colors so some of the contrasts are weird)

Application specific. If it needs to be self describing, CBOR.

I think the self-describing, binary format use cases are pretty few and far between, personally. gzipped or bzipped json is generally preferable in most cases.

Some people get really mad when other people knowingly make tradeoffs they don't like.

OTOH newbies *do* need to understand the risks and a small minority seem to think ecash is a panacea when the tradeoffs *are* genuinely unacceptable to many people for good reason.

Seems like Lightning AMP combined with a loop-out service would be potentially pretty powerful privacy tech. Of course you need PTLCs to defeat attackers along the route.

With Phoenix gone from the US market, is there any comparable service I can recommend to normies?

I actually wonder if an uncle jim LSP would be an MSB... part of that distinction was always iirc frequency, and whether it was run "like a business". Plus you automagically meet KYC with uncle jim setups.

Of course, feds seem to be tearing up the rulebook and doing whatever they feel like, but how are they gonna know anyway?...

The javascript ecosystem makes me extremely grumpy and afraid

Yeah but right now nostr.build and a couple others have wayyyyyyyyy too much market share. With blossom and NIP-92 there's at least potential redundancy, which is awesome.

Now you can finally play Q3ADC the way it was meant to be played!

... you DO have a BBA right?...

Is there any nip that provides alternative download methods for links?

If you imagine a kind 1 with an image linked in the content, you could include a tag that provides the sha256 for that URL, and maybe a list of blossom server hints, magnet link, etc.

There's obviously A LOT of overlap with NIP-94 but it's still fairly distinct.
