Room temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius?
At first I was just going to say that they’d put us all in jail, but then I remembered that if we all do stop, there won’t be anyone left to enforce it.
Haven’t looked into Mutiny in particular that much myself. What are your thoughts on all the third parties it connects to when you use it?
Statistically speaking, at this point it’s probably some Dan.
But my wallet's only on my laptop...
I like the concept, but when I'm just scrolling through on my phone it's a little annoying to reply to everything. A reaction is a single tap.
By your reasoning, everyone should study medicine enough to understand every medical procedure they undergo.
No problem. Although I still feel like a noob myself.
Not everyone can read code. Even if everyone could read code, not everyone would be able to read code of that complexity. Even among people who could read code of that complexity, do you think that they would all want to read all of that code? No. That's like rewriting code instead of using a library. It's unnecessarily repeated work. If we want Bitcoin to be adopted by the average person, it has to be usable by the average person.
I'm American and I don't like the wearing of shoes in the house.
Yeah. All LN wallets do. That’s why I’m using a Cashu mint right now.
Yup. I’m also slightly concerned that we have tools to make deepfakes that are that good.
Can #plebchain check me on this please? Am I understanding #lightning correctly?

You’re welcome! As I said, that’s just my understanding from having read a few articles here and there.
Yeah, but you don’t need to ship an entire OS with your apps. You only need to ship your app code. The user’s software distribution should handle the rest.
Eh. I don’t particularly like that style of sarcasm. It makes discussion harder.
Yup. From what I understand, Lightning channels are something like a wallet on the blockchain controlled by two Lightning nodes. There’s a total amount in the channel, and there’s also information about how much each party is entitled to. The fast payment aspect comes from the fact that the distribution of the funds in the channel can be changed by mutual agreement without needing to store this as a separate transaction.
Now, let’s say that you have a channel open with me, and I have a channel open with the person you want to send sats to. You give me sats from our channel, and in turn I give sats in my channel with your payee to your payee. I may also collect some small fee.
But to open a channel in the first place, you have to have some initial deposit, partly to pay for mining fees.
This is all just AFAICT, though.
