You cannot protocol-design yourself into compliance with arbitrary regulation-by-enforcement, because there are no consistent rules to start with. You will just dig a bigger and bigger hole, and no matter what you build it will never be enough.
I'm very happy you found LDK @alecchendev You make great points about the value of contributing to open source! alecchen.dev/blog/summer-of…
Much progress has been made over the last five years, but we're still in the early days of the lightning network. @TheBlueMatt joins the show to highlight what works and what we need to improve to ensure bitcoin and lightning scale. tftc.io/tftc-podcast/4…
Between Bun (using JavaScriptCore from Webkit) and Firefox beating Chrome, it seems like the Blink/V8 performance gap has now been not only closed but beaten. Curious if this has implications for the next group of new browsers - do they still base on Chromium?
Still true, you still shouldn't bother with GMail, cause it still doesn't bother to push for email encryption or protect your emails from hijacks.
When your email provider doesn't bother to protect you against basic DNS hijacking, its time to go elsewhere. I get that gmail thinks they're too good to bother with such things, but you'd think at least an email startup like Hey would care. At least Protonmail does.
Building with @lightningdevkit!
Our website is up and our main repository has been open-sourced! Lexe is still in development, but you can now: - learn more about our product - read the code (we ❤️ Rust!) - sign up for email updates - join our Discord Take a look! lexe.app 👀
In spite of all America’s problems, this is why I choose to live here. Diversity of backgrounds and ideas and a culture that (at least more than elsewhere) gives those many ideas a shot in the market. I can’t stand to live without that, at least not for long, it’s invigorating.
Incredibly sad day for bitcoin. There’s a huge diff between inscriptions (adding data you can trade) and “rare sats” (assigning excess value to arbitrary coins). Fungibility is a core part of the bitcoin value proposition, and this undermines it. bluematt.bitcoin.ninja/2016/01/14/dec…
A few hours earlier, Binance just moved all its 2009 Uncommon Sats from its hot wallet to a cold wallet for storage. #btc #ORDINALS #RareSat @RareSatSociety @dannydiekroeger @sat_stats @const_quary @UncommonSats
In case you missed it, LDK 0.0.117 shipped last week This release includes: ◆ Batch channel opens ◆ Basic watchtower client support ◆Important fixes for anchor channel users ◆ Custom HTLC TLVs ◆ A new KVStore interface ◆ Better payment success rates github.com/lightningdevki…
Any "analysis" of FTX is worthless if it doesn't start from "SBF was a fraud from the beginning, with a billionaire origin story about Korean crypto arbitrage which never added up". (Kudos to Greg Maxwell who pointed this out before FTX collapsed)
No, Lightning’s not broken, yes we have work to do, no, you don’t need to worry. I’ve always been very consistent - Lightning is (currently) for channel counterparties you trust to not to do a ton of work to build novel software to attack you. This hasn’t changed.
Don’t use this. Holding HTLCs for 24 hours is incredibly toxic to the network and relying on that hurts routing nodes.
Our embedded node, LSP, and self-custodial lightning addresses are now available for everyone to test. blog.zeusln.com/zeus-v0-8-0-op…
What an incredibly immature response. Open source happens when you make it happen and contribute. “Let the overworked devs fix what I’m breaking” isn’t helpful.
Without mixing, spending bitcoin is similar to writing your bank balance on a dollar bill when you hand it to a clerk to buy a candy bar. Mixing is a normal privacy behavior. This unelected body is legislating 4th amendment violations through its rule making actions.
We created Who is Bitcoin? and herecomesbitcoin.org to promote bitcoin education among precoiners and existing bitcoiners. But in the spirit of open-source, we consider this a community project. Are you a social media guru, designer, or marketer? Here’s how you can contribute:
Maybe also worth pointing out: Netenyahu is *not* losing. Wartime unity is maybe the only thing left that could possibly save his political career. Maximizing the deployment and force deployed contributes to that.
I wasn’t gonna post about the war, but it’s worth saying: Israel is decisively losing. Hamas’ goals are * reduce global (esp US/EU) support for Israel, * ensure 🇵🇸ians feel powerless and targeted. Bonus points for more orphans, their recruiting base. csis.org/analysis/israe…
lol don’t use AWS Route53 Registrar. They’re incompetent (or lazy).
Coin Center has published a new report that ought to turn some heads. (Links in second tweet)
I've spent some time thinking about how we could improve the lightning address protocol and fix its privacy drawbacks, while preserving the nice UX improvements that it brings. I'd really appreciate feedback on the proposal: lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/ligh… 🙏
