Idea of coinjoin implementation on Liquid.
Through the pegins and pegouts in the Liquid network we could follow the trace of a user, although it is true and it must be taken into account that the bitcoins that are delivered in the pegout are not linked to the bitcoins sent in the pegin. In principle, if I am not mistaken, a sort of FIFO queue is used and blockstream also performs consolidation processes of the addresses containing the bitcoins in the pegin.
This adds privacy in the Bitcoin chain, but we could still track through liquid even with confidential transactions.
As I mentioned before, with sideswap we avoid this because when you do a pegout you are really doing a swap, for small amounts they use their cache hotwallet and the actual pegout is done a posteriori thus unlinking it from the delivered coins and breaking the traceability, but desirably this would work for all amounts and not depend on a third party.
We could adapt joinstr to work on Liquid and confidential transactions, with this we would achieve that after a pegin + a coinjoin with joinstr it would be impossible to follow the trace and given the above mentioned peculiarities in which there is no relationship between the bitcoin of the pegin and the pegout + coinjoin + confidential transactions, with a single round of coinjoin would be more than enough and much more economical than current solutions.

Yes, that flat line at the bottom is the bcash hashrate 😂 keep an eye out for the bcash hashrate going up 😂.
Demand for Fed’s Bank Term Funding Facility Grows to Record High
Translated: The liquidity continues to increase so the price of Bitcoin continues to increase, the key to all this was given in August 2022 by Arthur Hayes.
They made us believe that they cut liquidity by raising rates but they invented new ways to create liquidity at the expense of the people, and as Arthur rightly said, Bitcoin is a proxy for global liquidity, Bitcoin is not fooling with what they are doing.
Almost 700 exahashes, straight to our first zettahash.
From my point of view, Bard (Gemini pro) is superior to Chatgpt 4 in programming. Data access is also superior in Bard as it is all google as of today's date, while GPT4 is Bing and months behind.
I think Google will pull its dick out again as it did with its search engine against Microsoft.
In both cases, bad times for privacy 😂
Good morning!
"When my husband died, because he was so famous for not being a believer, many people would come up to me - it still happens to me sometimes - and ask me if Carl had changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. I am also frequently asked if I believe I will see him again.
Carl faced his death with indefatigable courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we both knew we would never see each other again. I never expected to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for almost twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how short and how precious life is.
We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final goodbye. Every moment we were alive and together was miraculous, but not in the sense of being inexplicable or supernatural.
We knew that we had been beneficiaries of chance. That pure chance had been so generous and so kind. That we were able to meet, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time. That we were able to be together for twenty years. That's something that sustains me and that's much more meaningful.
The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and took care of our family, as long as he lived. That is far more important than the idea that I will ever see him again.
I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful."

Introducing Ghost Addresses
“Today, we’re thrilled to announce our latest innovation on the Lightning Network: Ghost Addresses. This means that anyone running their own lightning node will be able to have a Lightning Address without needing a custodial third party and without needing a publicly accessible server. The days of using custodial wallets or other centralized intermediaries are over. You can seamlessly receive spontaneous payments directly to self-custody.”
I am referring to much older times…
The truth is that it is a bit sad what the bitcoin community has become. I've been here for a long time and I can say that before we were more or less all rowing in the same direction. Now we have a lot of stupid discussions among ourselves of the most varied and that do not contribute anything.
I don't like it.
