That being said having a castrated Bitcoin Script is not helping in making these layers ergonomic for light clients, hence they promote centralization into custodians
Been thinking about scaling in #Bitcoin vs #Ethereum lately. Gotta say, I'm not sold on the whole #rollup thing.
Rollups basically create a separate blockchain. Even with trustless bridges, you're splitting your ecosystem. It's like having two competing universes instead of one cohesive system.
Bitcoin's approach with Lightning and Ark? Way more fluid. These are just unconfirmed txs we choose not to broadcast, protected by some clever counterfactual schemes.
Take Ark: mempool empty? Just send on-chain. Congested? Join an Ark round. Same wallet, smooth transition. It's all one system, not two competing layers.
This is why I think Bitcoin's scaling smarter. It's not about adding more blockchains, it's about making the base layer more efficient and powerful.
Curious what you all think. Are rollups really the future, or is #Bitcoin onto something better here? 🤔

Hey nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg would very cool to implement language models (can be small and kinda easy to run on-device) to implement a more personalized content discovery
I don’t think scaling is the issue of Nostr (can be fixed) but rather being useful without the need of a centralized honeypot server creating timelines.
Also this seems nice
oh you got an official one! Noice

Interesting! Where I am from, even mobile homes permits in agricultural land is very strict, like max 6 months and it MUST have functional wheels to demonstrate is not permanent establishment.
I always been envious of boomers, they basically bought cheap land, built villas and then paid a simple fine: boom premium real estate!
The tiny house custom RV is complete and earning revenue for the homestead!
After seven and a half years, I've finally completed and put the tiny house RV I've been building into operation at the homestead.
I started building it in November 2016 thinking I could complete the project in a year but I fell victim to the common homesteading practice of building many systems at once. Since my time and energy was split between so many projects at once, the time I had for working on the tiny house was quickly narrowed down to a few months in the winter.

The days were short and the weather was challenging, plus I was learning many of the techniques from scratch, teaching myself as I went. This made for very slow progress.
However, there were some benefits of moving small and slow on the project. I was able to avoid making any critical/costly mistakes. I also had lots of time to souce cheap and unique reclaimed/recycled materials. Plus, I was able to totally customize and build each component to be unique, leading to it feeling like a work of art rather than a construction project.
For now, I don't think I'll be taking on another project of this scale again anytime soon. But in the end, I taught myself all the skills to build a house from framing and roofing to plumbing and electrical, on down to the finishing techniques for trim.
The intellectual and experiencial capital was definitely worth having so much financial capital tied up in the project for so long. Before I know it, I will have earned it all back anyway leaving me with much more capital than I started with. Low time preference paying off.

Interesting! You had to follow local zoning laws or you just..built it? (I know depends a lot on jurisdiction)
*outside of our small bubble
Press Releases are for the masses and a broader public. Nobody ever heard of Lightning or VTXO in our small bubble of stingy maxis

Yep this sounds good with cheap blockchains. Thanks for pointing out!
I really wish nostr:npub1m7r9aayrqjtt2q0whkyrwlys75s5d828c5uewvqwyfd2kxefkfjqgeny2w does it :)
I wrote something about this issue.

Get credit with the company/service or get the change in lightning. Keep them UTXO's whole!
Yes the idea is to have non-custodial credit so to speak. LN is good if the merchant integrates it, but thinking about mainstream crypto commerce is unlikely
Coin control is fundamental for #bitcoin transactions privacy, but it’s annoying to have to handle the change output and keep track/label on every spend.
What if merchants accepting bitcoin could let me create a simple payment channel address that can be funded spending an arbitrary amount of coin(s) without generating a remainder, hence no change output in the transaction?
User wallet would send funds and right away sign the initial state deducted of the first spend in favor of merchant
ie.
Funding amount 0.1525 BTC
First payment 0.01 BTC
