Bummer. No acct 😞

Is a twitter acct required? I get no audio

I am not that excited about citrea. if I want to play with rollups I already have that on ethereum and most of them are better than citrea. I am more excited about the prospect of drivechains being added to litecoin. I would be way more excited if rootstock converts to a drivechain on bitcoin.

I still don't have great numbers on how much L1 footprint citrea needs overall or per transaction, and what that would mean.

each time citrea commits a batch to L1 it will post two different components in the form of an inscription:

- zero knowledge proofs for the entire batch, maybe less than 50 KB every time

- state diffs for each L2 transaction, compressed to maybe 35 bytes per transaction

this means there is a break-even point where L2 transactions become cheaper than L1 transactions if there are enough of them in the same batch. L2 transaction cost decreases more and more based on how many people are using the L2.

but! this hits a ceiling. citrea will never be able to occupy all of the space in a L1 block. you would probably never see over 150 transactions per second without a L1 blocksize increase. this has some disadvantages over ethereum's scaling strategy:

- a single ethereum rollup can give way more TPS than what citrea gives, and ethereum has several

- ethereum has a dedicated part of L1 blocks called blobspace. it's designed specifically for handling ZK proofs and L2 transaction data, whereas bitcoin has the witness entirely by accident and it's not optimized for this use case

- the ethereum community has consensus to gradually expand the number of blobs per block over time. the bitcoin community does not have consensus to increase the effective blocksize at all

in either case, each transaction on a rollup maps onto its own L1 footprint. you get a lot of compression, but you still would need to expand the available space on L1 if you want it to grow. rollups do not get around this problem, they just shrink the severity while adding more features.

some more thoughts:

- the escape hatch will not be available at launch. citrea is technically custodial until this gets added. I will not endorse anything that lacks unilateral exit

- nobody has invented a rollup with decentralized sequencing yet, but at least it has forced inclusion to help prevent censorship

- probably most of the fees paid by citrea users would go to bitcoin miners

- the UX would be better than self-custody lightning and it is more useful

- the people who made the OP_RETURN drama wrt citrea are probably freaking out about nothing and have no idea what they are talking about. citrea will most likely use inscriptions for everything because it's cheaper

There is an eerie silence about the end result of the #samaurai devs' trials. Why the fuck is noone who is all in for btc ignoring this? And worse, the bitch boys who wanna talk shit over guilty pleas. This is exactly why I have decided I want nothing to do with btc ever again. Moon clowns and ngu faggots are running the show. The state fucking loves btc. You are financing state terrorism with your bitcoin.🖕

X is now gaslighting everyone, people checked the account and saw with their own eyes.

X even created a new warning called manipulative media for it. 🤣

It’s definitely doable but can take quite some time and resources, so it might be a fit only for archiving old data. Eg for 422k likes it would be several hours and up to 1TB of ram which would cost $6-8 per hour. The cost can be justified if the events are quite sensitive but def not for ordinary posts:) We do expect 10-100x perf improvements in the nearest future though so it might become viable at some point

I was chatting with the Alby wallet team about their Lightning MCP server using Nostr Wallet Connect. Forked it to integrate Lightning <> Starknet atomic swaps via Atomiq Labs SDK.

In the demo, I fired up Claude Code (also did it with Goose) and asked it to handle an end-to-end swap: "swap 311 sats to STRK". It executed perfectly, pulling from my Primal wallet via NWC connection string and performing the swap.

Fully trustless (HTLC reverse submarine swap).

Exciting times for building Bitcoin apps with AI. 🧡

Looks like nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpqwnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqcjfkft blocked me on twitter because I created a narrative violation about the contentious fork he is pushing.

Good news is: You can't block NOSTR, and you can't block the market.

Have fun and fork off 👍
