Are you guys just playing it safe with the potential that graphene has unknown bugs in it's app sandboxing and network shutoff security? Maybe I'm being too trusting.... 😕
Man, that thing is the size of a horse
So the narrative for this bull market has pretty clearly materialized:
ETFs unlocking huge swaths of demand
FASB accounting standardization paving way for huge swaths of demand
Recent inflation spikes throughout the world
ATH in distrust in Govts around the world
What does the next epoch/bull market look like? Give me your crystal ball projections.
Took me a minute. hah:)
My first Bitcoin interview was 10 years ago today, right after MTGOX crashed. They wanted to know if Bitcoin was dead. 😏

I'm not sure how easily coopted SIDC in Belgium is but they are showing confirmation of solar flare activity but then say no expected impact on Earth expected...
"Solar flaring activity over the past 24 hours was at high levels, with two X-class flares and one M-class flare. The largest flare was a X1.8-flare, with peak time 23:07 UTC on February 21 and the second largest flare was a X1.7-flare, with peak time 06:32 UTC on February 22. Both flares were associated with NOAA AR 3590 (beta-gamma-delta). A M1.6-flare, with peak time 00:14 UTC on February 22 was produced by a yet unnumbered active region behind the east-limb on the southern hemisphere of the Sun. There are currently 2 numbered active regions on the visible disk. NOAA AR 3590 (beta-gamma-delta) is the largest and most magnetically complex region. NOAA AR 3586 (alfa) has been stable and inactive. The solar flaring activity is likely to be at moderate levels over the coming days with C-class flares expected and M-class flares possible and a low chance for an X-class flare. A south-east partial halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed in LASCO/C2 data around 16:12 UTC on February 21th. The eruption was related to an activity behind the east limb. No impact on Earth is expected. A second westward partial halo CME was detected in the LASCO/C2 data at 18:36 UTC on February 21th. The CME is associated with a filament eruption seen in SDO/AIA 304 & 193 at 17:37 on February 21th in the north-west quadrant of visible solar disk. The CME has an estimated plane-of-sky speed of around 450 km/s although the bulk of the ejection will miss Earth, a glancing blow arrival is possible on February 25th. A third south-east CME was detected in LASCO/C2 data around 00:24 UTC on February 22th, associated with the M1.6-flare peaking at 00:14 UTC on February 22. Two negative polarity coronal holes have started to cross the central meridian. One in the northern half of the Sun at high latitude and the other in the Southern half at low latitude. Over the past 24 hours the greater than 10 MeV GOES proton flux was at nominal levels and is expected to remain so over the next days. Some enhancements are possible in the case of an eruptive activity from NOAA AR 3590. The greater than 2 MeV GOES 16 electron flux was below the 1000 pfu threshold and is expected to remain so in the upcoming days. The 24h electron fluence was at nominal level and is expected to remain so in the next days."
Yup, no connection here.
So dual-funded lightning channels look pretty amazing...?
"v1 lightning channels: one side funds a transaction to make an open, funds are all on their side
v2 lightning channels (dual-funded): both sides collaborate to make a transaction, funds can be in any amount on either side. it’s basically a mini coinjoin/payjoin onchain for every lightning channel that uses it
you can multifundchannels in CLN; if every peer uses v2 opens that will let you build basically your own decentralized coinjoin that results in channel opens 😎
no coordinator, all in one tx
add in liquidity ads and you can get multiple inbound channel capacity, again all in one tx with the payment for that liquidity being just more available inbound.
it’s a huge game changer on lightning’s onchain footprint
splicing builds on this and will let you do even more complicated liquidity movements in one transaction. move liquidity between channels, fund a new channel from an existing one, etc. All in one transaction"
So the Bank Term Funding Program is expiring in March again I hear.
When next regional bank circus?

Just practice gratitude.
Time to punish the plebs for getting us into this mess.
GOOD MORNING NOSTR, FREE ASSANGE 🫡

You sound like you need a good cry my dude. I hope you work your anger out somehow.
Don't trust, verify. This is tough advice because our time and energy are limited. Being able to discern where to put your time an energy is the crux of the matter.
I admit that I don't know much at all about lightning in spite of being a software developer by trade and a bitcoiner for quite some time. Oddly enough as a software dev, I am not a bottom-up thinker, more of a top-down thinker that looks for disconnects in reputable views and opinions and then tries to prioritize my time from there on what I perceive to be the most fruitful, low-hanging fruit.
Recently, I found an account on stacker.news that went hard against everything I have been trained to believe about the lightning ecosystem. This perplexed me deeply as he made a decent amount of sense talking about all of the VC money acting as a corrupting influence on lightning development. This guy was an infrastructure engineer and had very technical grounding in his views. I also sensed, he could possibly be too strong of a personality and maybe got rejected from VC money and is jaded as a result, etc. So now, amidst my massively overflowing plate of things I want to get done, I feel a strong need to deep dive into all of the lightning tech to build out a cohesive mental working view of the various tech. My gut tells me that the lightning network is going to be the next space for "shitcoinery". Big money, big ideas, but poor implementations getting over-marketed, etc.
There is a very visceral "builders culture" on nostr, and I think it's good but needs to be balanced and refined by embracing deep critique of solutions. Not just on a superficial low level code level, but on a high level purpose and architecture level. The projects that do this will attract my attention, usage, and potentially even my development time.
