You've got to be in, to win

+ work on building exceedingly robust, long term health.

nothing quite like the victory of outliving your enemies...

Just received my first zap, courtesy of nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr.

From sender to receiver... no middle men, no censorship & no fees.

It is hard to deny the power and potential of #Bitcoin & #Nostr, for those who choose to project value into the world.

(Irrespective of geography, credit-worthiness, or otherwise).

These are both interesting & exciting times...

Realistically, how much of a concern is this? given that the project is open-source ?

when using the terminal app, is there a way to password protect / encrypt the local user profile db?

I'm assuming that without this, an attacker would have full access to chat history, if they took possession of the hdd / machine ?

Any good resources to learn more about the Nostr protocol?

I'm particuarly interested in client <-> relay interaction, in terms of message transport, encryption, etc, and also in how messages are propagated to (or retrieved by) other relays.

You don't win friends with salad!

Jeff, if we project forward to a time when base layer transactions fees increase so much, as to be unaffordable by the average user, do you envisage newcomers being able to onboard directly onto Lightning, but still avail of the self custody aspect, that gave Bitcoin so much of it's appeal, in the first place?

Splicing, batching & channel factories are all going to help, but ultimately, if the LSP has to pass the cost of channel management on to the customer, operating on L2 with self custody isn't all that different from operating on the base chain.

You've got to open/splice/close channels, have capacity in the tank to deal with channel counterparties who try to cheat, handle force channel closures, etc.

To the extent that we want to reply with 'Lightning', when the question of 'how will Bitcoin scale' is asked, at some point, are we acknowledging that for many, this solution is going to be a custodial one?
