Dutch bank ABN-AMRO tried to de-risk (one of?) the last surviving Bitcoin ATM provider in the country. A judge put a stop to that.
The basic rule is that terms in a contract can't be enforced if they lead to unacceptable outcomes, which the judge believes to be the case here. Note that banks are required to serve the interests of their clients (and the public IIUC), not just their own. Losing this bank account would have made it impossible for the company to safely/legally get rid of its cash within the country. This puts a high burden on the bank to be able to terminate the agreement.
The bank had two arguments for termination, both were dismissed, but the second one is the most interesting. The ATM company does not, and refuses to, monitor transactions for non-custodial wallets. The current EU AML law doesn't require that, neither does the (far more strict) Dutch implementation of it. The comparison was made to the fact that this bank does not follow cash that comes out of its own ATM either.
The judge also pointed out that AML law does not have the (stated??) goal of removing risky business from the financial rails.
(the bank could still appeal this, but so far so good)

This judge seems based (on this issue). Need more like him.

Great summary of a proposed BIP to reduce the infrastructure/overhead required to coordinate payments, particularly over lightning. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/using-dns-to-coordinate-bitcoin-payments?utm_source=carrot&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=carrot_share
The bank runs will continue until adoption improves.
Phoenix wallet is self custodial lightning and on chain. You open a lightning channel with either a lightning or on chain deposit and can splice in/out funds on chain.
Fee table:
CashApp has similar functionality but with fees.
It's working with reduced functionality. It will add apostrophes and fix some mistakes, but doesn't seem as robust as with predictive/suggestions enabled.
I disabled suggestions and it seems to have fixed it. I left auto-correct on and haven't had any issues so far.
That makes sense. Did you turn off autocorrect as well?
Amethyst crashes when I try to mention.
I have the backspace issue on both Amethyst and Primal using Openboard, but not with Samsung keyboard 🤮 or Unexpected Keyboard.
Same here. Both on Amethyst and Primal. Going to test some other keyboards.
I've had this problem as well.
Using Openboard.
As a left-of-curve pleb who isn't familiar with the parties in the discussion, I find the non-specific nature of theariard's accusation against the mentioned PRs unconvincing. However, the issue of backchannel merges is still concerning. Its the same as transactions bypassing the mempool.
Just a couple days ago I was thinking about how great it would be to be able to do this.
Right?! Primal needs this. nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr
This is so cool!
