So I paid for a data plan for my mobile using lightning. I use Orbot. If I only sync my node and broadcast txns via hotspot connection to my laptop does that offer any privacy benefits?
Not tweet, NOTE π€¬π€¬
Boosted my own tweet to see if it would show chronologically in the feed. Not that thirsty.
Oh no, scratch that. Bekkas meme is everywhere now π
Yea, just looked through. It was the boosts that gave me the impression something was different. No way to tell if those are in chronological order though. Seems like they might have changed something because I'm not seeing multiple of the same note boasted in my feed.
"GN" - 1000 sat zap
"Does the image show?" - 500 sat zap
"Can sm1 zap me to see if it's working?" - 5000 sat zap.

Refused to like this in solidarity with the message.
Are you guys noticing that they might be trying out an algorithm on the feed? I'm using amethyst. Lots of high engagement tweets there now. Hmm.
I think we've had an influx of new users. Will be interesting to see the new stats.
Canex too π€£
Need these included because they'd never collude:
- Deater
- Stoney
- Luke jr

I'd confidently keep a month worth of sats on a fedimint where a bunch of you guys were the key holders. Just saying.
There are ideas for automated bank runs to keep them honest. It really hinges on the key holders being chosen well, though - people of standing in their local communities so they can be held accountable if there is a problem.
When you compare it to a regular custodial arrangement the fedimints seem clearly superior. Say you'd need 7 of 10 corrupt key holders who are ready to collude don't care about the consequences.
Also, any failures (fraud) would be highly localised with this model and obviously the actual supply of bitcoin would remain unaffected.
As far as the user is concerned it's like wallet of satoshi but where the keys to the actual bitcoin are held in a multisig so most of the key holders would need to collude to steal the coins.
The fedimints would have lightning channels between one another and custodial services so they were all interoperable. Users themselves would technically have e- cash rather than actual bitcoin, but that's irrelevant as far as user experience is concerned.
Better privacy and less chance of rug pulls are the benefits over custodial. It'll also be cheaper and easier than the self custody options, allowing bitcoin to scale.
