Last week, my sister nostr:npub10tct4d5td04frptyls4mk0nf7v28tzs6qza7ur4dfhlkw88y0v5sfzy70g and I participated in the HRF Financial Freedom retreat and met incredible people working to empower the most vulnerable. We come from Rwanda, a dictatorship where financial freedom is limited by the state. It monitors & controls transactions to prevent the funding of human rights activists, dissidents, opposition movements and journalists. There is a solution to this and we need to educate our people about the power of Bitcoin to circumvent the financial and economic challenges imposed by the dictatorship. AND bring everyone here on #Nostr nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu

Once virtual channels are ready I want to add support for "receiving" lightning payments into a hedgehog channel. I wrote up a specification for it here (https://github.com/supertestnet/hedgehog-advanced) but I haven't implemented it yet. Once that is done I think hedgehog will be ready to implement in a "real" wallet. It will have so many cool features:

- keep your keys airgapped and still (a) send hedgehog payments (b) receive hedgehog payments (c) send lightning payments (d) regularly withdraw lightning payments from a "hot" wallet into .your airgapped hedgehog wallet without needing to do any base layer transactions

- if exchanges like kraken or swan add support for hedgehog, any user who has monthly or weekly autobuy enabled could receive these regular purchases of bitcoin directly into a hedgehog wallet -- hot or cold -- and be able to spend the money on lightning or hedgehog as soon as it confirms, without needing to come online til they want to actually spend the money

- if you are sending someone money and your recipient is *on*line, you can use a hedgehog wallet as a regular lightning wallet

- if your recipient is *not* online, you can pay them by making a unilateral channel for them on the base layer, and to do that you just need to be willing to pay a base layer tx fee and know one of their pubkeys (technically that part is optional, as you can just make up a keypair for them -- though I personally wouldn't trust a keypair that some rando made up for me and I would sweep all funds from such a channel whenever I next got online)

- if your recipient is not online and you don't want to incur a base layer fee, you can make a "virtual" (i.e. custodial) unilateral channel for them and deposit whatever amount you want to pay them into that. You can then send them its details and go offline, and they can sweep it whenever they next get online, without any further help from you (i.e. you don't need to be online when they sweep the funds! They just need the bridge server to be online)

- this emulates asynchronous lightning payments pretty effectively, without the need for the sender to run a server or rely on a third party custodian. But there is a "first party" custodian -- the sender retains custody of the funds in a virtual channel until the recipient sweeps them. And there is a third party bridge server, who can censor payments, though if that happens, the sender can just retry with a different bridge server and stop using the old one

- it also emulates "pull" payments, which are useful for subscriptions. If you want to subscribe to twelve months of bitflix, you can send bitflix twelve virtual channels where each one has a timelock on the virtual channel opening transaction. This effectively means that the first virtual channel cannot be used til 1 month goes by, the second one cannot be used til 2 months go by, etc. As each timelock expires once per month, a single virtual channel becomes usable each month. This allows bitflix to sweep funds from one channel per month, thus "pulling" pre-authorized funds from your wallet according to a predetermined schedule

- if you ever want to cancel such a subscription, just make a new transaction with the bridge server overwriting all the remaining virtual channels you gave to bitflix. The bridge server will then stop treating the virtual channels as valid, because they can no longer redeem the money in them even if it comes to their side of the virtual channel, so bitflix can't use them anymore either, and thus your subscription is effectively canceled

- all of this can work just fine today without waiting for bitcoin *or* lightning to upgrade -- which I think is just amazing!

Sneak peeking at new bolt12.org re-wrought by nostr:npub1spralxq6jlw5rdy0249vqr5sh43rfrlx2wzv3rhjjqedw559w9psrs8s72 (especially Stephen DeLorme, Brandon Lucas and the Bitcoin Design Community incl nostr:npub14vnjvqrdxa3q2353gm0lla3hsxl354nmxhzkmkj8tarns0m8psxq0ss0ny). So.... pretty....

I built https://stratum.work to get this block template stuff in front of more eyes. It shows real time template data sent to miners to work on and you can watch for similarities between pools yourself.

This thread does a great job explaining the data:
