@L 0 K 1 just read your profile, amazing project you seem to be building. It may also interest you: nostr:nevent1qqs2k4j6w8pe5slmxfnh4xcy3fsryxcgy7m3jvpvl9rw6t3yx6urxcsprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yct5dyhxxmmdqgs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcrqsqqqqqpfjtj3d

I've not actually done any work yet with the Lightning protocol API, although I did try to do a refactor on the protocol buffer specs on LND, those guys are pretty incompetent, quite frankly, you should see how epic the bugs in the configuration system are of btcd and lnd. Beyond ridiculous, and they won't probably ever get fixed (as such I'm planning to use CLN and Bitcoin Core with Indra, even though btcd/lnd are in Go, and I wish they weren't garbage). I'm not a "protocol user" I'm a protocol designer. I'm easily bored with following other people's patterns if, and usually they are, the APIs constrain what I can do with it. Though if someone is looking for someone to do protocol design and prototyping, I'm quite adequate at it. Also cryptosystems, cryptography, binary encoding, error correction, event handlers, network handlers, and concurrent programs in general. Obviously, I'm pretty fast at typing too.

Ah I didn't know that Signal used XMPP. It was also called "jabber" before. Anyhow, it's just an event bus system, like Nostr, with a narrow band not broadcast. There's two ways to do multi party, one is with a relay, the other is using multicast. Really they are just specific cases of network protocol. One could easily extend Nostr to do both types of messaging.

I only just now looked closer at it to see who it is. No thanks. This man seems under a cloud that I want no part of tyvm. Nor am I interested in travelling on planes to places that will probably once again try to sell medicines to me that I don't want, and assault me with constant mind control hooks to try and turn me into a cultist. Also, I might just say that I think that LN stuff is a bit rocky, a big ball of mud, most of the codebases, and the protocol has calcified, and we are not likely to see a resolution of the liveness problem with the protocol from any of the established devs who as I see it are mostly just doing fireman work these days.

Yeah it's been a big thing. How I figured it out was last week I ate like 8 eggs in a sitting, and the next day in the evening I had an episode of biliary colic, which I looked up and figured out it was the cholesterol from the eggs. So I was going to phase them out of my diet, and then nostr:nprofile1qqsr26r4lltjnvrwadxp67ns58m4qpzaqemhf5sup7hlujhjh7t296qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs7amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv53exel3 pointed out that most eggs are made by chickens fed on grain, and the garbage in the seeds gets into the eggs. And the last part was, because I got the colic, I also had an episode of nasty skin rash, some sort of irritation of the pores, I think, because it is red spots, really itchy. The reaction also required sun exposure, as I had been sunning beside a pool at the Airbnb I was staying at. I thought at first when it broke out it was the chlorine, and maybe chlorine was part of it, but it seems to be the eggs, and from the eggs via the seeds fed to the birds. Chickens don't naturally eat seeds. Neither do cattle, goats, or any other animal that they feed seeds to. And the carnivores that get fed seeds get diabetes! Seeds = allergies, diabetes, heart disease, cancer. Avoid. Also, just so we are clear, every single plant protein has glue-like proteins in them, which irritate the intestinal membranes and can trigger leaky gut, allowing allergenic peptides to enter the blood and cause a general rise in inflammation levels, as well as anaphylaxis. The anaphylaxis is more commonly manifest as "allergic asthma". This I also suffer from. So, everything that gives allergies, look for the seeds, the seed protein, the seed oils. That's where most of it originates. Most people are not allergic to lactose in the West. A very large proportion of people who have white ancestors even one or two, probably aren't lactose intolerant either. The A1 protein can be allergenic but again, it's probably more to do with the contaminated fats.

Very interesting. I have had skin problems as well, but what changes everything and all my skin problems go away is going to the gym. During the psicopsndemic I could not go to gym and I felt my health very bad, now back to gym and I feel great.

yeah, I've been taking it easy the last few days, as I went substantially too far in the previous week walking up and down very steep hills. Gotta get me a bike, too... this place is hella hilly, but the old roads that were built before cars are windy but gentle, and thus also good for cycling, plus, not so full of insane drivers who are nearly as bad as italians.
