when self hosting Mutiny, is it necessary to also run an LN node? ie LND or similar? If not, how does Mutiny interact with the network?

auto-rug

what's your solution, given that LN scales throughput, not userbase.. ? (users priced out of the market in high fee environments, unable to open, close, splice channels, force close on time, etc.)

this is the way...

there's a case to be made for custodial wallets, but irrespective of your position on them, it certainly is helpful to be clear what we mean when we talk about 'scaling Bitcoin'. ie custodially vs non-custodially

Nacho cheese

make a public post, to locate the sender. have them sign a message to verify identity. offer return in exchange for a small reward.

do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

they're pushing out entities that have grown and established themselves organically, in favour of more state captured entities like Blackrock, et al.

custodial exchanges mightn't be the ideal means to facilitate trade, but if we're to be philosophically consistent, we should favour decentralisation amongst exchanges, as much as anywhere else..

agreed. like it or not, these exchanges have helped put more BTC in self custody than any other force in the space.

seems many would rather opt to be resentful of them, for not being perfect, rathen than grateful to them, for helping ordinay people access a liquid market of BTC.

One last SAFU !

One of the first unofficial implementations of utreexo i've seen in the wild. Exciting stuff

I wonder if GPT suggested it....

Look forward to the BRC-20 crew complaining about Blackrock pushing up the fees....

'Put some clothes on, and go to the bank' ... 😁

If #bitcoin is 'Be Your Own Bank' technology, then #cashu and #ecash are going to offer anyone the ability to be their own PayPal.

Yes, an ecash mint has a custodial relationship with it's userbase, however the ease with which new mints can be spun up, and the consequential choice in the market that users will have, will force honesty on the part of the mint, and reduce the tendency and incentives toward censorship.

Treat users badly, and they will simply go elsewhere.

#Nostr 's attempts at decentralisation (via an abundance of 'hot swappable', distributed relays) represents a good analogy, in this context.
