Sorry Litecoiners, LTC stands for Coordinated Lunar Time!

It will make sense for liquidity providers who have other services that naturally drive capital in their direction.

Bitcoin Cash is 8 blocks away from their halving and the network is behaving erratically.

They just went 4 hours without a block mined.

Their version of mempool dot space is down: https://bchmempool.cash

Where's all the halving hashrate death spiral FUD this cycle?

Are the haters sufficiently embarrassed that it didn't pan out the last 3 times?

LOL, negative.

You only really need the rare force close to totally wipe out any fees earned from routing.

The natural result of operating in this system with the value regularly going up over time results in disincentive to spread out your liquidity amongst more counterparties.

4 years ago I set up my primary lightning node hosted server.

I funded it with several coins, figuring better to have too much liquidity than not enough.

I opened dozens of channels under the same assumption.

Over the years I've barely touched it other than to update release versions.

Today it only has half a dozen channels due to peers disappearing or closing channels, but the value of my liquidity is higher than ever, so I don't see a need to open more channels.

Which begs the question: is this centralization? 🧐

Please do not assign yourself a BIP number greater than 42,949,672,95 or it will cause an overflow that breaks the Bitcoin improvement process.

Indeed, I had just listened to it before posting.

Any nostriches out there taking peptides to stimulate production of human growth hormone?

Interested to hear experiences with specific peptides and sources for them.

10 years ago today Pieter Wuille proposed BIP-42, implementing a finite money supply for Bitcoin. We owe him a debt of gratitude!

Never forget that SBF's campaign finance case was quietly dropped.

I'm starting to see a pattern...
