Who is he interviewing in this episode??

Meh. This is a middle bell curve take IMO 😂

Good to hear. So maybe by end of year?

I love the LND team but it’s frustrating to seem them focus on TapAss etc over basic protocol stuff

When it comes to Lightning I am a total normy user. Managing channels is not for me 😂 at least not for my personal usage.

And as a normy self-custodial user, I would say that the UX which the Phoenix team has built around splicing is EXCELLENT. Plus it equates to less on-chain fees.

IMO all the Lightning implementations should be focused on splicing instead of “Tether on Lightning (TM)” or other 🤡 stuff. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, any idea where Splicing falls on LND priority list?

Thanks. I was thinking to move to either Mutiny, Zeus, or Blixt. Not sure if any of these support splicing yet.

I like that Mutiny has a web app too, which makes it less ruggable

lol yeah I have noticed… but don’t want to keep funds in there if it could be rugged at any moment

Which non-custodial lightning wallets support splicing, other than Phoenix?

#AskNostr

Narrator - it is the ETH maxis

In a system where private usage cannot be distinguished from the norm, even 5-10% adoption is enough to break heuristics.

The best privacy tools are those that are undetectable by an outside observer. This increases everyone’s privacy, even those who don’t use such tools.

When it comes to privacy tools, only distributed systems without a central point of failure have a chance.

Centralized servers & services can be shut down.

Yep totally agree. But when you ask about a “cheat code” or “magic wand” to make nostr succeed, I can’t think of anything faster or easier 😂

I missed btc++ this year, how was it? From one anecdotal account, I heard it was heavy shitcoin vibes compared to previous years 😭

Major apps plugging into the Nostr and Bitcoin freedomverse

I don’t think the model cares either way… its more about injecting into the tooling built around the models

LOL are you sure this is not a parody or a deep fake???

to facilitate* anonymity for a fee (in the case of CoinJoin coordinators)

Thanks for reminding me of this site, and yeah I can definitely see why merchants would be hesitant given recent events.

But if it’s just part of a normal payment flow, potentially saving on tx fees or helping with utxo management… that’s a very different profile than a central entity who’s main service is to provide anonymity for a fee. Still, a lack of incentive for merchants, as you say 🤔
