Aren't they funding open source initiatives with the profits from their completely captured product?

“MANDIBLES 🤡🌎”

(This is essentially possession of an illegal firearm in the UK.)

so much hype around the product, so little dev-work across client and implementations.

So much happy people in the commercial, so little actual things working. Can smell from here every ingredient of this nothingburger.

Their last note is from 3 days ago. Not everyone uses Nostr every day. Actually, I think very few people use Nostr every day.

It’s the weekend 😂

In low fee times at least it’s a great tool.

If you have your sats in Phoenix wallet (among others) you can pay directly to an on-chain address. I believe it’s a channel splice, at least when you receive to Phoenix on-chain, so it you’ll retain one unified Lightning channel but it would decrease your total capacity some.

What I’m not certain of, and where I’ve been unpleasantly surprised in the past, is how much your Lightning capacity is reduced when you send to an on-chain address.

It may be that it only reduces your capacity by approximately the amount you send out, plus some wiggle room, or it may be that it diminishes to just accommodate your current balance plus some extra space.

So if you have a 1M sat channel with a lot of inbound capacity, and you send on-chain with a small Lightning balance (say 100K sats) remaining, it’s possible that your total channel capacity drops to ~120K sats. Or it could be that it just goes to 980K, and I’m frankly not certain.

On the plus side, with fees as low as they are, it’s not that big a deal — you can just send another 900K sats to your Phoenix address and it will splice in to reopen the full capacity.

But I did this when fees were high, and ended up paying a lot. (On-chain fee to send the sats, on-chain fee to shrink the channel, on-chain fee to send more sats to Phoenix and another on-chain fee to splice in and increase my channel capacity again). Today that probably costs a couple thousand sats at most. At the time I think it was upwards of 40K in fees.

Anyway, it works 🫡

Aqua wallet maybe? I dont know if they have a minimum

Send to Muun via lightning. Send from Muun to the onchain address you need to pay. I would only recommend trying this while fees are as low as they are right now.

Unfortunately boltz isn’t great for this

Zeus or WoS are good for crossover transactions but best is manage your own keys and liquidity and move between on and off chain as needed, instead of paying a fee to an LSP

How much is your payment on chain with fees? Maybe ask a friend?

like, it's my opinion the easiest way to fix most of these problems is simply to create new network encodings, then you can put the fixes in them, and then it's just a matter of getting a few clients to adopt the new transport, and adding some small new parts that create requests that line up with the new changes

honestly, the biggest flaw in nostr is the REQ envelope, but maybe almost as big is the entire "envelope" nonsense, which should be changed to use an actual normal API

i think it would be easy to add a QUIC/HTTP/3 with JSONRPC2 and this would make it mesh better with apps that already work with bitcoin nodes as well

Not as bullish on nostr anymore
