Věřím že by šlo najít designové řešení problému.

Tak aby lidé náchylní k podvodům byli zachráněni a my nepřišli o anonymní možnost nákupu Bitcoinu.

Musíme něco vymyslet my nebo to za nás udělá stát a to co vymyslí se nám nebude líbit.

Scaling Bitcoin LN to support millions casual users per single on-chain transaction.

Bitcoin can serve whole world.

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2023-September/004092.html

TL;DR

=====

* The key challenge in scaling Lightning in a trust-free manner is the creation of Lightning channels for casual users.

- It appears that signature-based factories are inherently limited to creating at most tens or hundreds of Lightning channels per UTXO.

- In contrast, simple covenants (including those enabled by CTV [1] or APO [2]) would allow a single UTXO to create Lightning channels for millions of casual users.

* The resulting covenant-based protocols also:

- support resizing channels off-chain,

- use the same capital to simultaneously provide in-bound liquidity to casual users and route unrelated payments for other users,

- charge casual users tunable penalties for attempting to put an old state on-chain, and

- allow casual users to monitor the blockchain for just a few minutes every few months without employing a watchtower service.

* As a result, adding CTV and/or APO to Bitcoin's consensus rules would go a long way toward making Lightning a widely-used means of payment.

Many small things. I see it every time I onboard some non-IT people.

WAR

As a totally convinced anarcho-capitalist I find it ridiculous to support either side in a war. War is created by governments, if you support one side, you are only supporting a government, supporting one of the parties and ignoring the crimes committed by the party you support.

War is the worst act of the human being, in wars brothers are killed between brothers, children and women are killed, and women are raped by both sides, in war nothing is respected.

It is before a war when you have to think with reason and not with the heart, if you are in a war territory flee you and your family, your mission is to protect them, never fight, never fight for a government, life is the most precious good we have.

Kill if you have to protect your family, but never kill in the name of the government, don't be a puppet, don't be part of their despicable plans.

#Bitcoin helps you to protect yourself also from wars, on the one hand, your government cannot create Bitcoins to finance itself and it is practically impossible for them to seize them, on the other hand if you live in a hot territory, consider having most of your wealth in Bitcoin to be able to flee without problems.

Whether you are Palestinian, whether you are Israeli, whether you are Ukrainian, Russian, or from any nation at war, do not fight for your government, your government does not give a shit about you, you are just gunpowder to fuel the fire, the children of your politicians do not go to war, your politicians do not go to war, while you die, while your children and women die, the politicians are so quiet in their air-conditioned office eating caviar and drinking champagne while fucking whores.

Even in anarchy I would like to have something like Israel army in a land surrounded by the Islamic terrorists, but voluntarily funded.

🚨 Announcement time! 🚨

We're proud to unveil our refreshed Wallet of Satoshi logo! ⚡

Staying true to being 'The World's Simplest Bitcoin Lightning Wallet,' we transition from our classic design to a simpler, friendlier and more modern aesthetic.

https://void.cat/d/TsFTEiBtvNyY89AhhDCde2.webp

We hope it grows on you as it has us, becoming the first sight for the next billion Lightning users exploring #Bitcoin!

Watch out as the new look gradually rolls out!

You might spot it in a double stacked format too.

We want to hear - what are your thoughts on our new look?🤔

https://void.cat/d/GA9xNygqwrgjiAJ4LtqbCZ.webp

Now please hire UX researcher. 😉

You should buy a stuff on some other name and write it on the mailbox label.

Does it have crypto extension or some TPU? (This was features I choose Odroid M1 for home server.)

PayPay is a cashless payment service in Japan that grew seemingly overnight.

I witnessed how even in the countryside where cash was the dominant means of transaction, the app spread really fast. So… I asked ChatGPT and did a bit of research on how it grew so quickly:

TLDR;

- Thousands of sales people going to every store small and large to pitch the benefits of cashless payments (mostly low transaction fees of merchants and ease of use)

- Incentives for consumers - cash back on purchases and “PayPay Jumbo - a chance to win up to 100% of your payment back”

- The 10 Billion yen giveaway campaign - basically sweepstakes.

- Developing and promoting marketing solutions that help merchants grow their sales. This feels vague but I have seen marketing displays (banners, large signs, table cards etc..) in stores where PayPay was promoted more visibly than any other form of payment. Basically, PayPay is invested in the merchant’s success, aligning themselves with their outcomes.

PayPay’s ultimate goal is to become the WeChat of Japan’s commerce - allowing people to pay for anything with the app.

Parker Lewis thinks Merchant adoption is what is ultimately going to drive bitcoin adoption. We certainly have a case study for this theory with PayPay.

What would it take for Bitcoin to follow a similar path? I think growth could be aided with the following:

1. A single re-branded app similar to Cash App, but marketed as a Payment solution. Bpay, beepay - I’m terrible at this buy you get the idea. Focus on “pay”. Ideally it would also tie in the concept of fast, quick.

2. A sales force to go out and educate merchants on the benefits of this app. You’d probably want to start in a country that has low credit card acceptance rate (like Japan). This would obviously require some serious funding and a marketing plan to help merchants not only understand the app, but also provide marketing materials to promote it.

3. A consumer app that focuses on simple UX and quick payments with QR code.

Of course, you could think about other types of campaigns and if your marketing budget is enough, there’s no reason you couldn’t run them if they are profitable.

Cash App / Square is likely the company that could potentially execute this plan. The focus would need to be on positioning of the app and the clarity of it’s benefits.

Curious to hear your thoughts!

We are already building such network, but bottom up:

https://twentyone.world

But it usually does not have O(1), but stored in a stack where you cannot get middle of it without additional operations.

Do you really need cache for reads twice day? And when most items are not accesed whole week? At least prune it every 3 days.

Could you please finish POS mode so it will be comparable like Breez?

1. Locked by password (so employees cannot send)

2. Option to open POS on app start

3. Summaries for daily/weekly accounting

And maybe take advantage of custodial nature:

POS mode as a web interface or API for receiving payments, so we can e.g. create plugins to POS solutions, eshops etc. I can use current LNURL Pay interface but I miss API for payment status.

Buying motorhouse, but literally none of them is supported. Usually it is build on top of some old platforms like Fiat Ducato.

Phoenix. Ten doporučuji i lidem co tam chtějí mít nižší desítky tisíc (než si pořídí Trezor).

WoS doporučuji lidem co chtějí pár stovek a.nebudou to používat moc často, protože custodial wallet mají tendenci přicházet o kanály když se dlouho nepoužívají a stojí vysoké poplatky na jejich otevírání.
