Mutiny is coming out really swinging against end user LN recently to explain their pivot to federation backed ledgers for their wallet (their reasoning makes sense to me, fwiw)

how long til breez + phoenix pivot to federation backed ledgers?

change my mind: covenants are just one more form of client side validation primitives

its like what taproot assets is doing for shitcoins, except you dont need a whole new data format because the client-side data *is* bitcoin txs

thinking about talent/eocsystem mismatches 🤔

ah, also: note that in order to setup the covenant, you’re going to need to make a tx. you can’t just start sending hashes around without at least one party committing something to chain ⛓️

over my posting quota for today but recently was reminded that my existence in bitcoin as such is more or less one more contribution of Blockstream to the ecosystem 😆

there are many paths to greatness, fighting to change what came before you is an evergreen one for sure

definitely makes me reconsider revolutionaries and their movements. GK Chesterton was really onto something with his fence parable i think (if you see a fence, do you knock it down and find out why the fence was there, or do you try to find out “why fence” before taking action)

bitcoin forks will continue forever, the struggles of the mighty are unending

I fully expect a highly regarded fork to exist by 2050

ossification is a terrifying thing if you’re young and view it as the old guard shutting out a path for you to take to make a mark on the world
