Does anyone watch #pantheon? #sci-fi #tv-shows Really good sci-fi animation. Even plugged in some #bitcoin candy about using an opendime. Already loved the show but now I extremely love it more

I'm tending towards agreeing with him because last week when I looked at the mempool, the fee size for less than 10 sat/vbyte was way greater than all the remaining blocks. Which got me thinking and wondering if miners can choose the blocks they confirm or if it must always be largest fees first?

This enforces the need to use paid relays. It encourages the relay operators to keep the service running and improves the app experience.

Just upgraded my relay subscription. Best experience ever.

1. Got a DM of the update.

2. Click link in DM to page

3. Input npubs to login

4. Get invoice to make payment and pay

5. Subscription updated.

I'm sure it could be shorter but this is better than any other model in my experience.

After listening to nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev talk about #drivechains recently, I think I agree with his perspective.

The concept of miners voting for other coins is antithetical to the basis of Bitcoin's consensus mechanism. Human action means backing up your beliefs by taking making a clear decision. Voting is fine for unimportant things because it's a flawed a manipulatable system.

Committing to one path or another is how real value is determined. Anything less is sitting the fence. I don't have the technical background on this topic, but these decisions should be based on first principles.

What do y'all think? Is there something that I'm missing or am I completely off base in my logic?

The arguments I see on Twitter against drive chains are terrible.

It appears to me most folks on Twitter seem to favor any custodian as long as they aren't miners because it might break the incentive structure of bitcoin. The current state of Lightning is tending towards centralization because it isn't easy maintaining/running a node .

The semi/self custodial solutions would have to compete with the custodial ones and beat them in services offered to gain any considerable traction. It is way easier to self custody Bitcoin onchain than on lightning today.

Other scaling approaches needs to be on the table at this point. There would obviously be tradeoffs but that is the nature of L2s. If there were no tradeoffs, it would already be in L1. Alternatively the improvements lightning needs should be on the table. But there seems to be a lot of disdain for soft forks which I think mostly is as a result of ordinals.

The worst arguments I've heard is that it enables shitcoin on L1.

For the transfer to muun typical lightning fees . For muun to a Bitcoin address, you can set the lowest sat/vbyte available. Since network fees are currently low, should arrive within an hour or so if you aren't in a hurry

I used music to substitute the effects of coffee for me.

Did an international transfer of a small payment ~$100 last weekend. I was asked to input the address of the recipient and the payment doesn't arrive until later today. I cant imagine using fiat payments if #Bitcoin is an option.

Alby. Can add it to #zeus and works most of the time from my usage compared to the rest
