Bad 😂
It’s inconsistent - the sat/USD toggle doesn’t look the same as the eCash/Lightning toggle, button style is all over the place, border raises are inconsistent, the table doesn’t have one at all, I can’t guess what the three dots do, and I’m not sure why there’s a horizontal rule/card split in the middle
That has the issue that the merkle root hash is not the same as the file hash, so how do you then do discovery? (I want this file hash has to be resolved to a merkle root then I also have to download the whole thing before I can verify that that is indeed the file I wanted)
*technically* there’s no reason you couldn’t build BitTorrent on top of blossom, after all .torrent files are files and parts of files are also files 😉
Yes, but if and only if you already know the merkle tree structure, no? If I’m looking at an old Nostr note and want to find the image it had in it now the original URL is dead, and only have the whole file hash, I wouldn’t know what the merkle root hash is. Pretty easy to solve by having both hashes available, but it is a slightly different problem
Unlikely/not much point yet as Nostr is all secp256k1 already -- though yeah private stuff not being pwned when public is is perhaps a nice "it could be worse" disaster situation
“You think I own one set of clothes walking around my home butt naked working on Bitcoin and the Lightning network?”
I mean…. 😅 Nothing surprises me anymore
There’s definitely *someone* that does do that
Gah, the difficulties of hopping between various Nostr clients and their different ways of doing tags and linking URLs 😭

Proper Nostr Zap support ⚡️ for phoenixd-LNURL coming in two weeks™️ (probably sooner)
Also optional NIP-5 server because it was easy
Easily self host your Lightning address and Nostr NIP-5 ID 🤙

Yeah, for now you can still receive ‘zap’ payments but as phoenixd-lnurl doesn’t know how to handle them, the zapper doesn’t get a receipt and it doesn’t show in any Nostr clients
Phoenixd is a Lightning node (https://phoenix.acinq.co/server/) that works a lot like thir app, uses ACINQ as the LSP so you never have to worry about liquidity or finding people to open channels with, they handle all of that for you, for a fee.
So, you just need to run phoenixd to have self-hosted lightning, and phoenixd-lnurl alongside it to have self-hosted LNURL and Zaps.
Currently does kinda require that you've already got a server running somewhere, more work needed to get this to work on node-in-a-box solutions like Umbrel, Start9 etc.
Struggling to test this right now because of the testnet shenanigans, my @ZEUS testnet LND is *not* happy haha. Thanks @Jameson Lopp 😆

Yeah, the fundamental difficulty is LNURL needs you to control a clearnet domain somewhere so it's easy for people to fnd you and resolve a human redable ID like `satoshi@lightning.gmx.com` -> long LNURL pay thingy `LNURLPBLAHBLAHBLAH.....` -> An actual Invoice from the Lightning Network.
That need to start with a clearnet domain makes it difficult to get working at all from an Umbrel-at-home, and difficult to make it work reliably. I assume it would work over Tor, but 99% of people then probably can't pay you as running Tor on a phone is not normal 😅 and also a tad difficult
Though it is very attackable, because it is so similar to Bitcoin but ofc massively outclassed in therms of hashrate. Also has the consensus difficulty reset bug that also would make it suck for actual value. Also also lots of bitcoin devs have massive bags of testnet sats they could dump and crash the price. Though I think we're all in agreement this is dumb anyways so 🤷♂️
/ how much my COLDCARD Q reservation cost at today's price 🤣😭

Phoenixd handles liquidity for you automatically; so basically payments will never fail for a lack of inbound. But, there’s a fee you pay ACINQ for that service
Details here: https://phoenix.acinq.co/server/auto-liquidity
Reminder 20sat/vByte transaction feerates at $70k #Bitcoin is as expensive as 60sat/vB was when the price was $23k
As adoption increases transactions may get more expensive because blockspace is limited, but that doesn’t mean the fee rate will be ever growing higher and higher
Quantum threat to cryptography does actually worry me a lot for Bitcoin, we can’t simply react to it quickly. Changing Bitcoin is super hard normally, then even once post-q cryptography is available the entire UTXO set needs to transact to be safe. Don’t know if it’s possible to add new cryptography as a soft fork (maybe as a future taproot version?) so a hard fork will be more contentious still. It will take years.
Wen Bitcoin goes 1M I might buy a Lambo just for the memes
then donate it to a kids hospital or something
idk have you seen how expensive parking is these days mom said I can’t keep one in the garage
For the #Bitcoin class of 2022 and onwards, now comes the hard part of buying the most expensive sats you've ever bought
stay humble and keep stacking anon 😉
Dr. Wright if your Citrix setup and Adobe Acrobat software are incapable of even glancing at a file without viciously mangling it, why do you even use them!?
Somewhat for the same reason NOSTR is JSON not a smaller binary packing, because JSON is near universally usable, even if pretty crap
Low dev effort to get started using a thing is important, perfect enemy of good
When do we get to the point when Central Banks get #Bitcoin FOMO?
Like, the Bank of England 🏴 should have around ~1% of the BTC supply held as reserves (maybe up to 3%?), which would currently cost £5.8B
Which is a lot, but not actually for Govt. They can afford to lose £6B but can they afford to have no Bitcoin? It’s an asymmetric bet.
It’d have cost £600M less if they’d pulled the trigger a few weeks ago, and £2.9B less if they’d done it in November last year.
One day it will cost too much to be doable - that day might be coming real soon
If you can import the multsig wallet into another client like Sparrow you can sign in the Coldcard using a SD card instead of NFC, so funds shouldn’t be stuck. Sparrow won’t need to have any of the keys imported or whatever IIRC
