I wouldn’t say you can have too many but you don’t want to aim for the lowest common denominator either. That said, I think there are things we can do to attract quality devs/engineers too.
Jeremy Rubin had a good post on this a couple years ago: https://rubin.io/bitcoin/2021/12/14/advent-17/
Maybe a good parallel is that a JavaScript conference is probably going to be more full than a Linux one. It probably shouldn’t even be a goal for bitcoin to aim to be like the former. Events like btc++ and TABConf imo are generally the right size to also maintain quality for this reason. Scaling Bitcoin had this vibe too. Much smaller but every talk just had my head hurting from the density of info.
I’m a huge fan of vercel. Great for quick deployments of apps. Easy learning curve for serverless, and great for quick projects that you want/need to deploy quickly (I haven’t used it at scale but my understanding is it does that well too).
A couple apps I’ve built on vercel:
Trumps biggest problem (and strength in many ways) has always been that he doesn’t really stand for anything. The move just never captured his imagination/attention enough.
Damn.
“It would be nice to call what has taken place a tragedy, but an audience is meant to learn something from a tragedy. As a nation, America not only has learned nothing, it has been deliberately prevented from learning anything while being made to chase after shadows. This is not because Americans are stupid; it’s because what has taken place is not a tragedy but something closer to a crime. Disinformation is both the name of the crime and the means of covering it up; a weapon that doubles as a disguise.”
Yeah I agree. Clients should be able to fix this but the protocol seems to make it easy for this to happen. And this happened on damus which seems to be the practically the reference.
Regardless, question still stands. Curious to know what it was in reference to.
Nostr is still so buggy I can’t see what this is originally responding to. But yeah I agree. Thinking I might take a stab at something for a hackathon.
I write a Substack, figured I would post it here because Twitter won’t let us anymore: https://www.primalcutsheet.com/
Wait… you’re not allowed to post substack links?
If you're in Austin at the end of the month, definitely try and make it to the highest signal-to-noise ratio conference of the [Northern Hemisphere] Spring time!
I'll be leading a discussion about all things fee management: current landscape, challenges (esp related to L2s) and next gen proposals on how to fix them

In case the links didn't render fully, this for @btcpp
Tickets still available at https://btcplusplus.dev/

The cool thing about nostr is that clients can choose to be exclusive but the protocol itself doesn’t care. It might be uncomfortable to much of the bitcoin community on here but a sign of nostr winning will probably be a competing client that adds support for tipping in other alts

So what’s the AI bot du jour for helping put together a slideshow presentation?
I love me a good shakshuka
And for those of you still allowed on the bird app, here's the announcement post over there: https://twitter.com/unchainedcap/status/1636395076866781184
Oh, and if you're in Austin this week, we'll be talking about this (and much more!) at the Austin bitdevs socratic seminar: https://austinbitdevs.com/2023-03-16-socratic-seminar-38
We've been working on a lot of important things at Unchained but it's been a while since we've been able to give open source as much resources as we would have liked. Really excited and proud of the set of features we're announcing this week supporting Ledger 2.0 wallet policy registration.
This is not just about new features for Unchained clients, but also for the ecosystem. Caravan now has the ability to persist Ledger policy registrations, which is an improvement for security and usability. Ledger users can now verify addresses on their device. Any other coordinators that support the config file serialization can also use the registrations.
We also released the first (to our knowledge) PSBTv2 tooling in JavaScript as part of this as Ledger 2.0 only accepts the newer encoding.
And our HWI-like library for interfacing with signing devices has drop-in backwards and forwards compatible support for all new Ledger interactions: registrations, address verification, and signing with registrations.
Checkout the blog post for all the details on the update! https://unchained.com/blog/multisig-security-ledger/

I don’t know the owners, but I do love buccees!
Ha! I just love being a hermit too much I think. Get work done, spend time with my wife and kid and enjoy this beautiful weather in my garden!
