think of which of your friends/family needs to consolidate utxos before it's too late. some DCA services probably left a lot of mess

is there a way to explore operating fedimints?

p2p?

there’s still a lot of offchain bandwidth to improve

are you that worried about the "thundering herd"? let me tell you about trade-offs that aren't even relying on that as a deterrent against corruption at all

if an federation/exchange/liquid/bank or whatever decides you're not exiting. YOU'RE NOT EXITING

if a coin pool operator decides to fuck you, you MIGHT have a chance of exit, and maybe you'll also be able to pay to have a better margin of error (timeout length)

ordinals practically expedited the hardcore painful discussions of bitcoin limits in at least a few years, and you're still angry?

LN is conceptually exactly that

why not let a bit more activity pay fees?

it if makes long-term economic sense it will be the canon chain

this makes no sense. every consensus change has the potential of changing miners income. why do miners mine the bitcoin that enables LN?

unpopular opinion?

if and when bitcoin gets extremely dense and efficient, and a robust fee market materialize for multi-years duration, a modest block-size increase is legit

i cant believe some people still don't understand this: the fact that we can ASSUME that a bitcoin miner is completely income motivated makes analyzing mempool dynamics relatively straight-forward

CPFP, LN-anchors, RBF-pinnings, timelocks, reorgs, it ALL depends on the sat/vbyte and nothing else

if we could not rely on the assumption that a miner is ONLY optimizing for sat/vbyte any protocol that isn't a simple payment is fundamentally broken

if you killed the mempool you killed bitcoin for anything that isn't a simple non-time sensitive payment

i have no more patience for new SaaS procucts. if you cannot do it through a conversational UI i'm out

livera is one of the best bitcoin podcasters, actually doing his homework instead of larping over austrian economics all day

that's a very good mostly non-technical introduction to the current improvement proposals to bitcoin consensus and their potential

watch this core dev bitchslapping an entire ecosystem into reason with this one PR comment

for realz? let me see if I can get one

alby

reminder: liquid is not an "L2". it's a custodian you really really trust because it was quoted in the white paper

that's the hardest media to exit

I fucking consolidated for 32 sat/vbyte and it happened way sooner than I expected. believe in your dreams
