Drivechain is a proposed soft fork that has faced a lot of criticism in the community, and Shinobi (Technical Editor of Bitcoin Magazine) joins me to discuss his critiques of the idea. We discuss:

What is Drivechain

How it works

Miner centralisation

Re orgs on sidechains

T-shirt sales argument

Stratum v2

“Miners can steal”

Other soft fork ideas (e.g. APO, CTV)

Multi Party Channels

“First Develop with what we’ve got”

GPUtopia: Sell GPU Capacity for Sats

- "We launched the beta version of our GPU seller experience. It enables anyone to sell their GPU compute for bitcoin using nothing but their web browser."

- "Later this month we'll launch the buyer experience, enabling anyone to easily purchase that compute for a variety of AI/ML workloads."

Great book. I listened to it on audible.

It'll give you an appreciation as to why Bitcoin is as resilient as it is.

Hello, fellow orange-purple pillers! I am a beginner in all this bitcoin/lightning/nostr, but I am catching up fast. I am already running my bitcoin and lightning nodes and running a snotr client in #umbrel.

So far, the journey has been incredible, except that I have been stuck in an issue for almost a week: I can't figure out how to create my first #lightning channel.

I have transferred sats on-chain to the node and followed the next steps as per the documentation of a number of apps in order to create a channel: #LightiningTerminal, #LightningNetwork+, #Thunderhub+, Amboss, etc. But so far, no good.

I will provide liquidity to the channel, I just need someone willing to connect with me. Or maybe there is something wrong with my installation? I didn't find the logs particularly helpful.

Could anyone help me open my first lightning channel?
