Custodial "Layer 2" federatoooors are the new shitcoiners
Just as shitcoiners rode Bitcoin's coat-tails for personal gain, Federatoooors are running the same playbook with Lightning
Lightning is the intransigent minority, scales sufficiently, and is not going anywhere
Would you use "wrapped" Bitcoin on some shit chain?
If no then stfu about ECash
nostr:npub1xvtwx6tduaxnn9v3y7uasskl277achgu0tu2qncmc7hdsz6y2zyqce64sa Is there a way to sync YouTube channels to lightning.video similar to how odysee.com does?
No, but something I've thought about... Will give it another look
OP_GFY
Oops..
There's an encrypted event that contains node connection details for the wallet, but the wallet can only decrypt it by authenticating to the bunker
We made an email enabled implementation of bunker nip46, so the whole thing is glued to something normie friendly
This may be the first ever nsecBunker authentication of a Lightning wallet, to pull node connection details.

We're taking the politics out of money and there's nothing the ECash Federatooors can do about it

ShockWallet and Lightning Pub have come a long way across these hackathons, #nostr as a #lightning overlay network solves so many problems
Protest implementations and hash are good things, and the general buttrage against Ocean/Knots is anti-Bitcoin itself...
but yea, the genie is out of the bottle ... and yet still few seem to have learned about a bird in the hand, and that softforks have an extremely low reward to risk ratio
Maybe in a greenfield scenario where chain space was only used for Ark instances, but that's not the case.
It's a substanceless part of the Lightning fud campaign, sponsored by the same people wanting now to recreate large political structures over Bitcoin, like federations.
The thought of Family-scale Lightning nodes running private SQL tables terrifies them.
This is a retarded take with 0 understanding of any of the underlying.
Lightning is just recycling on-chain transactions, if you can make a chain tx you're able to be onboarded.
No solution solves for 8bn UTXOs, fortunately that's not a realistic requirement. Community nodes are the reality.
Mobile node devs are just taking the lazy route to not look like custodians, even though most can still rug users with an update. Phones are thin clients, period.
Lightning Pub fixes sharing of remote nodes.
God, I need help. The new nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 it's failing me to generate invoices and payments in LND LNbits home node over Tor
In the previous version it worked fine ... 🧅❌
Stop using Tor, it's a honeypot anyway
Ark doesn't scale and the internet is undefeated at requiring things be online.
Just because people are dumb enough to build mobile nodes wallets doesn't require a risky fork.
Nostr for Normies:
The status quo of most of the internet is that of full-custody, with no way to exit, or a way to participate in the system if you don’t accept its irrevocably custodial nature.
On the other hand we have nostr, which is the upmost self-sovereign system.
But lit comes with the tradeoff of extreme personal responsibility of holding one’s key in an even more challenging way than Bitcoin (you can’t spend your nostr into a new key if your old key becomes compromised)
Binary.
This work introduces a new scheme, with its own tradeoffs, but one that can fill the gap to help onboard the next cohort of nostr users without asking them to jump through too many hoops.
Learning the ropes of a new system is already challenging enough, asking new users to also learn about key management at the point of onboarding them is a very big ask with no clear benefit.
But I don’t want to become a custodian of a bunch of keys! What if we allow ANY provider to become an interoperable custodian and allow people to choose
This is akin to going from a single Wallet of Satoshi to thousands of nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2
In light of this aim, I’m changing the license of nsecBunker to full MIT (from MIT+CC); I want it to be easy for anyone to offer this service. nostr:note1crl44xk24yc2ym5xlyyfjdeumxueyguzxetseg8r0prqzmqts47sghnmgp
Been kicking this around a bit and will be looking to implement asap.
Upgraded lightning video addresses to support zaps
Mind testing?
Doing an AMA on Stacker News taking Qs about ShockWallet and the nostrfied future of Lightning Video
In light of the WoS takedown scrambled today to release the new shockwallet and lightning pub
This is a very early release and the first ever nostr "friends and family node" solution.. if you take it for a spin please report bugs and what docs would be of help most
