Wrote a small thread about Bitcoin's Liquid network, arguing that although it is not perfect and has a few trade-offs regarding centralization and scaling, it is much much better than resorting to shitcoins, which do not benefit from Bitcoins network effect, and have a dilutive effect by reducing demand for Bitcoin. In contrast liquid increases organic demand for Bitcoin. I recommend a great tutorial by nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8

Blixt Wallet is back with the final release in the 0.6.x release line, v0.6.9-420. Nice!

This version has a new feature for Android, Lightning Box.

Lightning Box is a service letting you receive via a Lightning Address non-custodially to your Blixt.

https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.9-420

Lightning Box works in conjunction with Persistent Mode that was released in Blixt Wallet v0.6.9.

For things to work out well, make sure battery optimization is disabled.

Battery drain is expected to be low or not noticeable if things go as expected. Reach out if you have issues.

The Lightning Box service will forward Lightning Address (LNURL-pay) requests directly to the wallet app on the phone, so it can respond back with an invoice created by the wallet itself.

This means that while this service is not a custodian, there is still trust involved.

Lightning Box is free and open-source software and anyone can choose to run their own service provider.

https://github.com/hsjoberg/lightning-box

In Blixt Wallet settings, you can easily change the server to your own.

The Blixt Wallet project will host a Lightning Box instance for @blixtwallet.com addresses.

A draft bLIP specification for the inner workings of this protocol can be found here:

https://github.com/hsjoberg/blips/blob/lnurl-forwarding/blip-lnurlforward.md

It is built using Lightning P2P messages, so any lightning node wallet implementation can choose to implement this protocol.

That's all for now. Cheers and Happy Blixting! 🟑⚑️

This is amazing work, thanks a lot, looking forward to testing it!

Btw I wanted to send you some zaps but it was not available πŸ˜†

Guys, I fixed global

https://v.nostr.build/ZlKP.mov

Of course, I also made it impossible for new people to find followers for people who use this feature. What should the default be for new users? I'm thinking 1 β€” enough to keep people safe, but a low enough bar to allow for discoverability.

This looks nice. I'm missing global these days!

Germany housing prices significantly declining. Healthy pullback or the beginning of something bigger? In any case, good news for the youth looking to buy a home in one of the countries in Europe with the lowest % of home ownership

I'm a simple man, I see Saylors "there is no second best" memes, I zap it

Seeing a lot of these "on a constant dollar basis" mentions on earnings reports recently. This one from Lululemon. Inflation destroys economic calculation

Hey nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd really enjoyed episode 781 of Bitcoin and... With the awesome music from Riot In Progress nostr:npub1ljr66vfadhr5rkldt2yhyzn7yqqqkeedhg9fq8vkyrdycgpzgtws440z3vat Wavlake.com! Great idea with showcasing some music in the podcast! Hats off

Yes that's the answer. Lateral vision across the whole board!

Oh I missed the bishop on b1! Crazy position

Absolutely epic presentation on how Tor was blocked in Russia and subsequently circumvented their censorship. Including how the Tor Engineers were given inside information by the actual programmers working at the Russian censorship agency. They could easily make a Hollywood movie out of it. Unbelievable the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that the people don't even imagine

Normal people are starting to realize the absurdity. I think. I hope...
