"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken, 1921

Cory, please loudly reject the malthusian CO2-compliance charade. We don't need bitcoin to be CO2 neutral because the whole "CO2 = bad weather" is BS. This will come back to bite us! Perhaps you are better at politics than I am and advertising these wins in the short run is the smart move. But in the long run we need to pivot to inform the world that the same fiat liars are also the same "climate change" fear mongers. @DanteCook

I love Elon. Greatest fucking inventor/engineer/businessman in a long time. The world would be super depressing without him, and Tesla / SpaceX / Boring Company.

Buy fruitjuice at grocery store, pour out top 1/3 to make room. Pour in some bread yeast, put in dark place for 2 weeks. Enjoy!

i usually think it means Liquidity Service Provider. lightning is based on channels opened between nodes. nodes can only move bitcoin through the LN network based upon the amount of inbound liquidity and outbound liquidity they have.

PSA: The earth is not dying. We are not running short of any raw materials. It is all fear mongering.

Get rid of the desktop recycle bin psyop... it doesn't make any fucking sense anyway!

Trash maxi here, haha.

The most compelling argument I've heard against the Pro-Choice crowd was a series of Youtube shorts where a guy argued that, similar to the slavery prohibition movement, you don't have to have a uterus to object to the killing of babies. (You don't have to be a slave owner to object to slavery.) But, "girls just want to have fun" or so the radio loves to remind men and women, and so people do what they like. .... Also, while i'm ranting, the song "everybody wants to rule the world" is a pysop to normalize psychopathic behavior. GN.

Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.

#ECASH ! nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv

My biggest annoyances with LN:

1. Invoice model. Can't just blind send.

2. "Could not find path" failures.

3. Can't empty balances.

4. Liquidity/channel management

5. Online only

Cashu and Fedimint ecash solve these five main pain points. Supposedly ecash also has better #privacy, and this improved privacy is what is most often touted, but this is ABSOLUTELY SECONDARY in my opinion to the fact that ecash removes the above five hangups and actually makes bitcoin easy to spend.

Only thing lacking at this time is better tools for users to assess mints.
