I'm glad you like the client. I don't really have a vision for the client besides more features and faster performance.

noStrudel is setup to auto connect to relays as it discovers them so I'm not sure how well it would work for local community relays, but It dose let you completely customize your relay list

also Id love it get it on Start9 and Umbrel but I haven't had the time to 😞

We’re working hard on the next update for StratumV2 SRI (Stratum Reference Implementation). The software will finally be available for immediate use and in place for pools to adopt it.

The specs are finally in place and the software is finally following it. A lot of refactoring and changes to the stack will allow flexibility.

Stay tuned!

I agree, and bringing Nostr to the people means going where. they. are.

Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s good for the ecosystem.

Can someone please zap me so I can see how they work on amethyst?

How to avoid missing amethyst updates:

It's coming to Zapit, that will be even better one click withdraw in your wallet.

Lightning Voucher!

It's reusable with a 40-time withdrawals, Receive up-to 50 sats per withdrawal, and a 10-second interval between each withdrawal. 🤍🕊️

Deactivated my Twitter account - it will be deleted in 30 days. This is my first post from Primal.

Have a long car ride with my brother and fiancée coming up - goal will be to purple pill the two of them.

wife tells me "I'm taking your car, my car is low on gas" & she leaves.

I just now get in her car to go to a meeting... WTF!

Turning off the internet. I made a lot of mistakes that led to the life changing consequences. Now I need to proof myself that I can put things together and keep moving. Deleting the app. All will be good.

“We should change Bitcoin now in a contentious way to fix the security budget” is basically the same tinkering mentality that central bankers have.

It begins with an overconfident assumption that they know fees won’t be sufficient in the future and that a certain “fix” is going to generate more fees. But some “fixes” could even backfire and create less fees, or introduce bugs, or damage the incentive structure.

The Bitcoin fee market a couple decades out will primarily be a function of adoption or lack thereof. In a world of eight billion people, only a couple hundred million can do an on chain transaction per year, or a bit more with maximal batching. The number of people who could do a monthly transaction is 1/12th of that number. In order to be concerned that bitcoin fees will be too low to prevent censorship in the future, we have to start with the assumption that not many people use bitcoin decades out.

Fedwire has about 100x the gross volume that Bitcoin currently does, with a similar number of transactions. What will Bitcoin’s fee market be if volumes go up 5x or 10x, let alone 50x or 100x? Who wants to raise their hand with a confident model of what bitcoin volumes will be in 2040?

What will someone pay to send a ten million dollar equivalent on chain settlement internationally? $100 in fees per million dollar settlement transaction would be .01%. $300 to get it in a quicker block would be 0.03%. That type of environment can generate tens of billions of dollars of fees annually. The fees that people pay to ship millions of dollars of gold long distances, or to perform a real estate transaction worth millions of dollars, are extremely high. Even if bitcoin is a fraction of that, it would be high by today’s standards. And in a world of billions of people, if nobody wants to pay $100 to send a million dollar settlement bearer asset transaction, then that’s a world where not many people use bitcoin period.

In some months the “security budget” concern trends. In other months, the “fees will be so high that only rich people can transact on chain” concern trends. These are so wildly contradictory and the fact that both are common concerns shows how little we know about the long term future.

I don’t think the fee market can be fixed by gimmicks. Either the network is desirable to use in a couple decades or it’s not. If 3 or 4 decades into bitcoin’s life it can’t generate significant settlement volumes, and gets easily censored due to low fees, then it’s just not a very desirable network at that point for one reason or another.

Some soft forks like covenants can be thoughtfully considered for scaling and fee density, and it’s good for smart developers to always be thinking about low risk improvements to the network that the node network and miners might have a high consensus positive view toward over time. But trying to rush VC-backed softforks, and using security budget FUD to push them, is pretty disingenuous imo.

Anyway, good morning.

Looking into this, thank you.
