Is their app just a window to their web app? I was wondering about that.
One that I found so far is that Tutanota is completely open source. And I can download the app via obtainium on Android.
One of the reasons I want to stop using proton is that their development team keeps making breaking changes to the app, and tuta being open source means that if things randomly break, I can at least just use an older version.
Going off chain is dangerous. Bitcoin's security and decentralization guarantees do not scale beyond the base layer, so you're always giving up one or the other, or both, when you want to extend bitcoin's functionality. Even though the lightning white paper came out in 2016, it took years of development and experimentation to get it to work, and work securely.
In fact, lightning channels were purposely kept small because no one knew when something would break and funds would be lost.
The white paper also goes through in detail many of the risks and drawbacks that people are bringing up as FUD today, and have for years, including technical and social risks.
Good morning ✌️🧡
Software is a garden. It's a desperate battle to create order in a world of entropy. And to stop maintenance would be to let chaos take over.
If your allies don't maintain the garden, your enemies will.
Government propaganda. So they can hallucinate about what's real and what's not.
This was a great podcast episode where I first understood how lightning worked.
A lightning channel is an on-chain utxo that you and I both control.
Off chain, we keep track of how much Bitcoin each of us owns in that channel, and if either of us want to take our side back on chain, we can close the channel into two separate utxos that have the final balance each of us had.
The lightning network forms by many people having channels in a chain, where I have a channel with you, and you have a channel with someone else. I can send Bitcoin to that someone else with you as an intermediary, and you can collect a fee for doing so.
That looks really interesting, thanks.
I also have been slacking on reading much lately. I need to ditch the queue of books I have and just go for something light to get back into it.
In a world where Bitcoin exists, everyone suddenly becomes irresponsibly long fiat.
