They are not linkable for the public observer as amounts are blinded on Liquid and additionally Taproot Swaps generally made swap transactions indistinguishable from any other regular transaction.

BUT we do have the link! Therefore, privacy on Lightning is a bit better as one can't tell with certainty where a Lightning transaction was sent from.

That being said, Boltz respects privacy but is NOT a privacy solution or a substitute for e.g. coinjoins.

Tether.io helping?

The 5 year treasury auction got more subscribers than usual. I think $70 Billion was sold.

Saylor finally comments about development on the new WBD podcast and it isn't great. Props to Peter for the constant pushback because Saylor fumbled hard.

I really got sick of him conflating open source development with government, and I really really got sick of the hyperbole of adding numbers to our numerical system and finally I really really really got sick of him constantly insinuating bitcoin developers don't know what they're doing.

This guy is bad news for bitcoin development.

yeah i do wonder why stablecoin issuers like tether haven’t used sidechains like liquid. do you have a view?

Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but the court ruling that forced the SEC to accept bitcoin ETFs is going to apply equally to ETH. Expect an ETH ETF soon.

crazy week

Perhaps the most valuable thing the "Great American Experiment" accomplished was to demonstrate that "limited government" is impossible. There cannot be a master who answers to his slaves.

At least listen to the podcast. This is more like adding back old OP codes that used to be in the protocol, but in a safe way.

An ETH ETF is an attack on bitcoin, likely from Elizabeth Warren. Its aim is to distract from BTC, rug pull, and thereby scare people from BTC.

but thats the way you backup everything pre-nostr.

All internet services are designed to store data in the server as a reliable source.

With nostr I see a natural shift to client first-class database storage.

Then, a second backup could be selfhosted with relays to have data redoundancy and for all threat model/preferencies.

A self hosting relay is useful for being indipendent at sharing your content with others, it is superflous, in my opinion, at storing/backupping them as all notes originates, transitates and are stored in the clients.

Keep it simple :)

splitting responsibility is also adding attack surface to my storage; relays are intended to be changed, to fail, be censored and censor. In this cases you can switch relays. They need to be treath in an adversarial way in a lot of ways.

So I think at the total opposito of your statement 😅💜

1000% 😆 nostr:note1dwa4u9xdv396ujrgmnhla5muv6rpx5dkm0nnyv2w3p893gdrh2hsgs5ytr

Literally cow farts are free energy and this man wants to stop it

Hey, remember that time when the Nordstream pipeline was sabotaged, and then after a while most investigations quietly concluded without reporting on who did it?

Weird.

Anyway, anything good on tv lately? I hear Shogun is good.
