Zeus is cool. But it's a way to control a lightning node remotely. It doesn't itself open channels.

It does. But it doesn't seem to want to actually use manually opened lightning channels for payments. At least I didn't when I last tried that, about a year ago.

I remember that breez has low level command shell where you can do it

There’s blixt on ios but on beta and on TestFlight

Blue wallet I believe

Have you ever considered just legally changing your name every few years?

No, there's 4 quadrillion units. The 21M is a psyop that doesn't apply, because the units are divisible without losing utility.

If you cut a banana in half, it doesn't full two people the same as a whole banana each. If you cut a tractor in 10 pieces, you don't have the same utility as 10 tractors.

Not so with Bitcoin. A division of a Bitcoin fulfills the same purpose as a whole Bitcoin. It loses no utility on account of it's division.

If you could slice a banana into 100 pieces and each piece still satisfied the same wants as a full banana, you have effectively expanded the supply of whole bananas.

The supply of units on the Bitcoin blockchain will be 4 quadrillion, if we imagine it will never ever change (tho that requires less sign-off than a Fed interest rate hike).

Not sure if this is 🤡🌍 or not 🤔

Instead of querying events for a single pubkey you now need to match against a table of keys. I have seen both #[6]​ and #[7]​ express frustration with nip26 in terms of complexity. To the point where they have or are considering disabling it.

I think the main concern is the complexity it adds to relays?

well the regulators have men with guns, so I’d prefer if we believed on balance that this was unlikely to lead to a shootout 😂

have any MURICAN🇺🇸🏈🦅 bitcoin bros thought about the following:

is it conceivable that an extremely bitcoin-friendly state legislature (Wyoming? Texas? Florida?) could create a regulatory environment to allow for USD-based fully reserved banking that simply has no connection to the federal reserve system or any federal regulatory agencies?

so Custodia or The Narrow Bank, but presumably needing to keep business in-state?

if so, could it work mechanically? you’d obviously be cut off from FedWire but what about ACH? it could conceivably issue and acquire for card networks too via whatever clearinghouse options work mechanically, unless political pressure cuts this off? but then, if the starting point is friendly regulation, surely part of that could be: “listen up, VISA, either you let AllenBancorpOfWyoming in or you GTFO our state”?

this can go in a bajillion directions, so any and every thought entirely welcome. please also tag whoever you think would have interesting thoughts. I’ll start with #[0], #[1]​, and #[2]​ … what do you all think?

In this place the blocked can still see and comment. You're blocks serve to conceal the scrutiny of folks that would otherwise engage with you.
