GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡

After almost 4+ years, 487 comments from 19 reviewers...

the spec proposal for adding v2 opens (aka dual-funding) to lightning is officially merged as spec in LN!!

huge thanks to Bastien Teinturier, Rusty Russell, Dustin Dettmer,

Matt Morehouse and countless others for their review and input on the spec.

doing spec work is a really long process, that requires so much work and input from lots of different stakeholders. it's probably the hardest type of work a programmer can do, and i'm so so thrilled that we got this over the finish line!

what's next? splicing and liquidity ads!

I posed the following question on X:

“If you are a Bitcoiner and you’re still not on #Nostr, what are you waiting for??

It’s a free & open protocol for speech, like #Bitcoin  is a free & open protocol for money.

You need *both* to free yourself.”

The responses I got are indicative of how early we are, and also how the *first* experience someone has with #Nostr is so important. You can see that a lot of folks tried it and got frustrated (likely a year or so ago) and haven’t come back since. Their initial impression is still cemented in their mind, and they have no idea how much the ecosystem has improved in the last year.

The first touchpoint someone has is incredibly important, because like it or not, people DO just books by their covers.

Just some food for thought.
