If your client don't render the emojis in reactions you're basically missing half the communication on nostr

I know I said gn then I spent many hours coding.

I made a lightning prism library that I'll release tomorrow 🫡⚡👨‍💻

1. One block per 10 minutes means 6 blocks per hour, 24*6 blocks per day (on average). So 5000*6*24 = 720000 .

2. but to use directly lightning, you need to open a channel to your node, so you need to do one onchain transaction for every real, direct user of lightning. Otherwise you are not using lightning, you are using someone's service (for example walletofsatoshi's) and this someone maybe uses lightning. Custodial and easy to confiscate if the state feels threatened enough. Fedimint could be an interesting middle ground between custody and self-custody.

3. I rarely get replies, got kind of bored with nostr and did not check my account.

People seem to think that hyperbitcoinization is near, but is bitcoin prepared for that? With 200 vB per channel opening, we get 1 vMB/200 = 5000 new channels / block, 720 000 new channels per day. More than a year to onboard just USA, and we already sacrifice on-chain JPEGs in this scenario. That would force people into custodial solutions, because transfer to self-custody would be too expensive or slow. This could even be exploited by governments: "look how expensive it is to open a channel, use a bitcoin bank" - which can do fractional reserve just like in the good old days.

Batch opening? If we go crazy with 100 channels per tx and just 1 input, we can get 28835 channels per block. More than 5x better, onboarding USA takes just 72 days - so some people have to wait 72 days for their paycheck. Still not good enough.

Channel factories to the rescue? Sure, once they are implemented...

TLDR: careful what you wish
