116k to bury the 58k gang forever

“But the founders of Tether are Bitcoiners” still doesn’t quite fit for me.

Yeah the payout model is VERY appealing for me as a tiny miner, needing an Xverse account is not.

Seems more defensible than boats.

Let’s have some way of having vaults before states stack too much and get short term regulation ideas.

Never trust a call from a helpful Coinbase employee…

I pulled the latest and I can see cashu tokens in the logs 🥜

I tried connecting macadamia and cashu.me but there was an issue. Macadamia reported that the keysets for the mint were not available.

I can program but not much of a developer! I’ll keep playing with Windsurf and see where I get to. Windsurf thinks it’s an issue with the HASH unit keysets being unretrivable given the Custom unit.

Love it, I’ll check in later! No pressure just playing at the moment but was really easy to get setup and this hash pool concept is amazing 🙌

34254…

Looks like I’m creating ecash shares 🙌 but how do I get access to them or see them outside the log statements?

The shares are coming from my local pool in the container right?

Actually 34255 looks like the correct port.

I have the containers up and running. Once the bitcoind syncs do you attach miners on localhost:34254?

Yes such a strange comment / almost defensive yet the game plan was clear.

All logical - 3 is a strong point to my cocktail based rambling. My bias is to think of Bitcoin in biology terms because that’s when I first encountered game theory. Through that lens I had my first “oh sh**” moment when reading about Bitcoin.

I think that software needs to improve and change to stay relevant but I need to distinguish protocol from regular software.

Thanks for the reply.

* many risks to that strategy but if life forms don’t evolve they become extinct

BITCOIN SEASON 2 is one of the most thought provoking podcasts i listen to.

My gut is that Bitcoin needs to evolve to stay alive as that’s how it came to life.

Many risks in that strategy but rolling if life forms don’t evolve they become extinctZ

I don’t really mind the concept of Citrea building on top of Bitcoin. I guess it’s the free market in action. Success or failure will happen.

That said more focus on self custodial features would be my preference. Self custodial features preserve and strengthen the baseline value proposition of the network. But increasing those features has a less obvious payoff for market participants.

I would hope that such features benefit miner pools to retain the incentives. I would pay 10x fees to lock my coins up in a way that prevents spends for a period of time but allows transactions in the future - obviously there are probably better setups and that requires more thought.

The incentives of promoting self custodial confidence seems like a long tail opportunity.

Beautiful pool

Thanks for the new piece of knowledge- I didn’t know that. I could find the original piece but there is a Bitcoin audible episode read 🙏

Very interesting. Totally unrelated but I think the early code used a lot of conventions promoted by Microsoft which makes me smile thinking about an open protocol written in a style promoted by one of the most closed source companies of the time.

I often hear people say that Satoshi wasn’t the best coder or early versions of Bitcoin were a mess.

I think that yes the whole codebase probably had many flaws.

BUT the ability to synthesize so many influences into a working solution in maybe 2 years is still an engineering achievement of a genius.
