Here's why there are deep incentives for a Bitcoin fork with the Ordinals people.

Ordinals/BRC-20/Inscriptions are now VC funded. And they're going to be pressured to keep growing, no matter what. Yet the hype around their stuff will inevitably fade. And whatever profits they had will dry up. So what will they do?

There are two paths. One is to increase revenue, the other is to reduce costs. The first will be very difficult to do without some new narrative. And they might try that, but it's going to be very difficult on Bitcoin... At least as it currently stands. They could move to another chain, but then, their whole reason for existence, being built on Bitcoin will be no more. Hence the incentive to create new narratives around their stuff and to add "features" to generate interest means some sort of fork.

The other path is to reduce costs. The most obvious cost is the fees being sent to miners. And to reduce that, you need to increase block size or make the blocks more frequent. Either way, this is incentivizing a fork.

The point is that once VC funding entered the picture, the path was set. There will be a conflict of visions and a "peaceful coexistence" was never going to be the outcome.

Less than 20% or more than 80%

I was running a LN node on a raspi too. One day I went to bed & had a few channels get forced closed. So I decided to shut it down as we're early and that this "set it & forget it" way could cost you.

I'm waiting for a few things to start running one again. Being more secure is a priority for me

Trivial as in your node can always find the right channel to rebalance?

Advice on stable routing partners? Can't stomach too many failed channels.

Out of interest how balanced are your channels?

The best part?

All fully runnable from Umbrel. You can become your auncle Jim for your friends and family and smoothly onboard them to nostr+bitcoin in one go.

Your Umbrel becomes their nostr key custodian and bitcoin wallet until they are ready to take custody.

Yes, also all deployable within a Fedimint and transparently interoperable with any nostr client. nostr:note1y02g8c9q5x9mh4c3wkcz8epyrczh76jtjetk9lcjqzd0tgj42qasamlsx6

Will the fees to transfer #bitcoin on-chain go down?

Orange pillers be like, gig work is work just like a 9-5. In fact, you can get so rich doing it. Degrees are for fools
