#[0] I for one am not fond of the idea of allowing a company to repackage my code but with some added spyware that you can't remove (as an example)


;_;

"Join us now and share the software. You'll be free hackers you'll be free hackers"

You don't want some company forking your code just to repackage it and inject spyware into it do you?


I hear CBDCs are pretty hot. Could look into that. At least then it wouldn't be unregulated counterparty risk with no FDIC insurance.


Unregulated not FDIC insured counterparty risk. Stablesats and stable coins and stable whatever other mechanism is an implement for dishing out pain.


#[0] Because it fucks with people's perception of self (which we have a natural defense mechanism called denial to counteract) when confronted with indisputable proof that they are subject to nature and only mildly in control of it.

If the number of sats in the first column plus the number of sats you're sending is greater than the number of sats in the second column, it will take an on-chain fee in order to increase the second columns number to fit it.

Lightning channel inbound and outbound liquidity ought to be more front and center in the UI IMO, but everyone wants to obscure how it works and frustrate the user when it doesn't rather than show clearly how it works and allow the user to be in control.


Timeout trees!


#[0] Hmm yeah I told the Phoenix people it only makes financial sense to charge for inbound liquidity on a fixed time frame like LNBig does.

Unfortunately, this is one of those things that are going to make custodial wallets more attractive.

I mean, I use it just fine and I understand the system just fine (which is the reason I use it just fine).

You know just because you don't understand my reply it doesn't mean I don't understand the issue.

Bitcoin is a living breathing social construct. Its upgrades are decided by users in consensus. You rip that away, kill it off, when you replace it with a system, which you expressly advertise as being a solution to upgrade debates, that asks miners for permission to upgrade at every step (its gets worse when miners ignore a side chain because they decide its no longer worth their time)

So this is the zombie part. Its still working, but in a mindless way. Its gotten rid of social consensus.


Either way. What scam?


Yes, it would "fix" Bitcoin upgrade debates by killing the system and reviving it as a mindless zombie

Dude this is worse. There isn't even a consensus mechanism. They must think TCP has been coopted too and that websites are centralized. I mean, a lot of people use the same central data centers, but that's completely optional. You can host a website from your house if you're brave enough lol

#[8] My analysis of what would be needed for a datsr (disaster and defo no date + nostr) client to work


How bad? Well you see, DMs on Nostr got cancelled for leaking too much meta data (people got creeper out by a screenshot of who and when [but not what] they were talking privately).

Dating apps typically need location data so that participants who don't desire long distance relationships (aka most of them) can chat people who are close by. That would require a new kind (NIP proposal).

Doing this will 100% increase bots. So a hash cash (proof of work) to post or pay SATs to post relay for this would be best to reduce all that noise.

It could also do to have some special indicator on your profile that you're even interested in dating as well. People getting hit up who were never going to be interested will get annoyed and the dating participants will have a harder time finding each other.

This has been my unnecessary analysis of dating over Nostr XD


That sounds like an absolute mistake waiting to happen

So China is being aggressive with its neighbors:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49zSy7-Qepc

The US has this article about how in the case of conflict with China, they may issue letters of marque:
https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2020/april/us-privateering-legal

"Issuing letters of marque presents international legal risks—some real, others imagined—but these are manageable. Further, since a conflict with China might, to paraphrase Dean Acheson, threaten the power, position, and even the existence of the United States, the demands of the conflict would limit the salience of law"

Would you be a privateer (legal pirate) for fun and profit?

"I was told we'd cruise the seas for (Chinese) gold, we'd fire no guns, shed no tears! Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax peir, the last of Barrets privateers"

Break it down. What makes something a good or a bad thing?

First, things just are

Then people decide they want to change those things. Things people want changed get called bad. So if something works against an objective, its bad for that objective. If something works for an objective its good for that objective.

So to start, what is your objective?

Take a person you follow, and look through the people they follow


You should at least point out that the exchange is going to charge 1% (or whatever they charge, maybe ask what exchange they use and look up how much they charge him)


Bearish :(


Oof I'm not original


That would ban transaction batching too with that language which doesn't even have a privacy benefit, but just saves on fees


You should try cherry tree!

But zaps are an example of Bitcoin being used as a medium of exchange tho


Defenses against scams come from wisdom gained in experience.

Companies send "phishing emails" to help their employees recognize what scams look like for this reason. The negative feelings of being made out for a fool make for a learning lesson that isn't easily forgotten.


#[15] Thank you for helping to share this important information about DHMO!


Its a colorless odorless substance used in industrial solvents and coolants and in nuclear power plants!

Surely you aren't one of those "Friends of Hydrogen Hydroxide" activists are you?


You guys should learn about the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Some highlights:
Main component found in acid rain
Found in vaccines
Found in cancer cells
Long term exposure to DHMO in solid form can cause tissue damage
DHMO in gaseous form can cause severe burns
Has caused eath due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.

For YouTube ad blocking, I've found umatrix (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/umatrix/ogfcmafjalglgifnmanfmnieipoejdcf) to be helpful.

You have to enable some Google stuff under the XHR section a lot, the larger the number in the box the more likely that's an ad. So I start by enabling lower numbers first until the video plays and if an ad starts playing I'll disable that box and reload.

Yeah its like I said, it doesn't work if you can't save what you need to basically


Hmm yeah probably because of a retirement fund, but also people who have spent years in the same industry know when the good times part of the year and bad times part of the year is and will save during good times part of the year to spend during the bad times part of the year.

Strategy doesn't work if you have to spend everything during the good time part of the year

It was actually just a discovery that increased farming production.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARU1WbtO7qQ


Also, sorry I realize I answered "why is muun included" and not "What problems does muun have"

My first gripe with muun is that it calls itself a lightning wallet. Muun is not compatible with the features you expect out of lightning network wallets such as lnurl-auth so when someone complains about the lightning network and you find out its because they're using muun, that's very annoying.

The submarine swaps only work in a low fee environment. In a high fee environment, you had people complaining about the lightning network. When the complaints were about tx fees to open a channel we could recommend tx batching to save on fees, when the problem was that they're a muun user, our only advice was "stop"

Muun's recovery mechanism is not part of any known spec and of course that makes me suspicious about the claim that is even self-custodial. However, as I don't have evidence that muun is custodial, my grievance will instead lay on the fact that its backups are out of spec.


Okay. How is CZ/Binance different from SBF/FTX?


Don't forget payouts from Twitter or YouTube come from ads and subscriptions. Are you looking to build an influencer and advertiser market matching system?

I personally don't care. I personally would rather no influencers at all. Just normal people talking to other normal people.

You do what you want though. Just pointing out what would need to be done if you really wanted that.


You trying to jinx something right now XD


They're the "easy way out" that creates problems instead of solving them. That's why they get grouped together.

I use nostros personally. Except for when I want to view a thread that was reposted, then I'll go to amethyst.

https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros

So nostros shows you which relays a note came from and so just remove relays that showed you what you don't like.

It also has control over which relays deliver global notes specifically since you may still want certain relays to see what your contacts are posting


OOF


Congratulations!

It does actually work fine if you understand relay selection, but if you're in a client that isn't showing you which relay each note came from (so you can axe relays showing unfavorable notes) then I can understand why it would be difficult.


First thing to understand is that you're not on a platform. If you prefer, you're on many platforms all at once.

Check your relays list. You're basically posting to a bunch of websites all at once. If you don't like the moderation policy of a relay, you can remove it, or hide it in your global view but keep it for people you follows.

Discovery is best done as a network effect (and honestly "friends of friends" should be its own view)

Follow some people and check who they follow and repeat


Make relays with moderation the default relays that ship with the app. Global is not actually global. Its global for your relays only.

But shitposting is my favorite form of political discussion


I enjoyed the interview. I like that it did manage to only talk about Bitcoin the entire time. These crypto channels normally like to segue into coin this token that after mentioning Bitcoin only briefly.

However, I would stress the importance of avoiding anyone with a bored ape PFP or who uses blockchain, or crypto as mainline buzz words. This is because crypto and Bitcoin have an inappropriate colloquial association with each other. Its the reason some El Salvadorans protest the Bitcoin law, because they think crypto when they hear Bitcoin.

As a South African Bitcoin community leader puts it (Bitcoin Ekasi):

"Today I attended the opening of a new Bitcoin education center in Kumasi, Ghana, in rural Africa.

The village chief spoke during the formalities and he expressed some unexpected skepticism towards the opening of the new center.

He said, and I'm paraphrasing:

'Bitcoin can be good, but it can be dangerous. Bitcoin can be a scam. A business collapsed and people lost millions of dollars. I am not sure you should teach our children about Bitcoin here.'

Of course, the basics of Bitcoin to be taught at this center has nothing to do with the FTX casino and its crypto delinquency.

But this is the reality of its after effects.

This is the unseen and largely unrecognized effect of endless tokens riding on Bitcoin's coattails.

I challenge anyone who argues against Bitcoin Maximalism to step outside their techno bubble.

Step outside that place where a small minority of earth's people live, with a skill that takes years to acquire under the best of circumstances, which enables nuanced differentiation.

Take a trip down to ground level, come see what's being built, and spend time to understand it.

And then tell me Bitcoin Maximalism doesn't make sense.

I am waiting."

So please avoid them. They are a brand risk.

I doubt you need an article on brand risk, but if you want to know how I think of it specifically, I wrote an article on how crypto is a brand risk to companies and people that promote it: https://stacker.news/items/267272/r/nerd2ninja


It is very unfortunate you can't delete nostr posts because you should definitely delete this. Goodness gracious


What? Lol. I'm not criticizing China for being uncreative about their human rights abuses lol I'm just criticizing that they're committing human rights abuses at all


I mean tbf, China is just copying what the US and Europe did in the past, but its just that I see a consensus that the US and Europe weren't the good guys when they did it, and there's no way we can say China is in any way a good guy when they do it.

(Obviously not exactly the same because modern day has technology)


They've already been penetrated and that's why they need a bailout.

At least that's what I heard.


Oftentimes, "internet outages" are just attacks on DNS. Learning how DNS works fixes this.

Also, if you get them on nostr (even with a self hosted strfry server) you could keep talking. Just have them add relays by IP address.

For example, relayble.org is actually 172.96.167.212

Again this assumes its just DNS and not internet routing that's the problem.

"Francine Joy "Fran" Sheffield (née Fine) is the series' nasal-voiced, big haired protagonist, portrayed by actress Fran Drescher. Her character is bubbly, outgoing, and humorous but also caring and responsible of the kids and her job, and plays the mother figure for them. Fran frequently gets into trouble, but usually solves the problems herself through seemingly ridiculous antics or by relying on her street smarts. In the last season Fran and Maxwell have twins; a boy and a girl named Jonah and Eve. Also in the last episode Fran, Maxwell, Grace, along with Niles, C.C., Sylvia, Morty, Yetta, Val, and Fred move to California."

When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.

My family and I could have made an impact on our town.

Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."

How CTV (BIP 119) Could Create Channel Factories for Casual Users (John Law)

"The key challenge in scaling Lightning in a trust-free manner is the creation of Lightning channels for casual users. Signature-based factories (AKA other ideas for channel factories before this paper) appear to be inherently limited to creating at most tens or hundreds of Lightning channels per unspent transaction output (UTXO). In contrast, simple covenants (including those enabled by CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) or AnyPrevOut (APO)) would allow a single UTXO to create Lightning channels for millions of casual users.

The resulting covenant-based protocols also:

1. support resizing channels off-chain,

2. use the same capital to simultaneously provide in-bound liquidity to casual users and route unrelated payments for other users

3. charge casual users tunable penalties for attempting to put an old state on-chain, and

4. allow casual users to monitor the blockchain for just a few minutes every few months without employing a watchtower service.

As a result, adding CTV and/or APO to Bitcoin's consensus rules would go a long way toward making Lightning a widely-used means of payment

...

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows.

Section 2 demonstrates that the key challenge in scaling Lightning is providing Lightning channels to casual users while meeting their usability requirements.

Section 3 then shows why no protocol that uses Bitcoin's current consensus rules is likely to meet this challenge.

Covenant-based protocols for creating Lightning channels are presented in Section 4,

and they are analyzed in Section 5. The remaining sections look at related work and give conclusions."

This has been my reformatted for readability but otherwise mostly copy and paste of the introduction of "Scaling Lightning With Simple Covenants" paper written by John Law. I hope this introduction gets you as interested in reading the paper as it has gotten me.

Nostros in your relays list has a button to individually toggle each relay for global or people you follow only.

So thanks for the reminder about what today's date is XD


Wallet of Satoshi is just a bank or a Bitcoin vaulting custodian and payment service if you prefer.

Real solutions are like Phoenix, Breez, Blixt, running your own stack etc


At a certain point we figured out Muun isn't a lightning wallet and its actually an on-chain wallet that does on-chain to ln swaps

Then they just take 0 confirmations as a spend to make it look fast.

I heard that because of increasing on-chain fees and full rbf being a thing, they were going to become a real lightning wallet, but no idea what the progress is on that.


Hell yeah

https://void.cat/d/HLxmvYuCzL7oTMhMX9Z9GZ.png


Like wallet of satoshi. Mutiny has an LSP which serves as a channel partner not a custodian


Protocol development takes time using existing technology takes compromises. Zaps rely on DNS to then forward to an always online server to grab a bolt 11 address and return it to the person requesting it. Governments "turn off the internet" by turning off DNS. (Hint hint, use IPs were you can and self host your own DNS server).

If Phoenix and Breez had like a desktop client so you could easily be always online, they would still control the DNS server.

As you know, Bolt 12 (reusable invoices) is being developed.

#[0] Pitchforks and torches at this point


No its not. Look at what lightning implementations wallets with LSPs use. Look at what lightning implementations are used between those LSP routes. Its not LND or nothing. The more LND neglects what users who make payments actually want, the more irrelevant it will become over time.


That bad eh?


How do you know its a 7400 series?


There's no markings on the chip, but we do know its a 14 pin chip. If you send a current on one pin at a time and read the other pins with an ohms reader, you can at least map out the internal connections. I'll have to think of how to look up chips by internal connections from there.

What might be easier, if you could tell us where you got this board from, we could probably look up the board on the internet and figure it out that way

You're telling me, you log into VRChat or some other VR social game and you hit up your buddies on discord like "Bro waiting on you in the metaverse right now you coming?" Like that? XD because all I'm saying is that sounds silly when used unironically


Yes. No one uses that term outside of a marketing context. Facebook "meta" shoot I think Microsoft is trying to advertise video game avatars for business meetings as "metaverse avatars".


If you understand "fuck" you understand social communication XD


Crypto? I was talking about VRChat (a real game that fits the description of a metaverse even though no one calls it that). I didn't say anything about no crypto.


Cringe. Back in my day, VRChat was just another mmorpg style game where people talked to each other in lobbies. Almost akin to a convention of sorts, but we never called it "metaverse".

Damn I hate marketing terminology

Yup. Nostr isn't money, so its okay to be more carefree with it. If a nostr app loses all your relays and you lose your priv key its not a big deal.

If a Bitcoin app corrupts its save file and you lose your private key, it is money so it is a big deal.

If we compare Bitcoin script to nostr json calls, if a note messes with how a client displays things or crashes the app no big deal just update the app. If the json messes with a relay once again software update.

Bitcoin script on the other hand, you can set a time lock for 1,000 years, you can send to undependable addresses, and if it were not as constrained as it is now, you need only look at Ethereum for how that can go wrong

Bitcoin has been banned already in several countries and continues to reign as king.

I'd prefer the game of chicken over dealing with all these scams


Yeah I turned it into a lecture because crypto is just a scam. Companies ran by either a working group of other companies with a CEO who can make arbitrary changes or just a head CEO and no other working group. Its like bringing robux and runescape gold under the same "digital asset" umbrella as Bitcoin.

You're in it for the tech but that's where you already messed up. Bitcoin is a social construct first and software second. Suing volunteer developers is not a problem with Bitcoin, its a problem with society, but all it means is volunteer devs will stay anonymous.

Third even if you accept the idea of an innovative robux token or twitch bits or twitter coin (is in store credit innovative again? Talk about a throw back) there are many issues with these systems design choices. Any data not inherent to computing (information that exists outside the chain) has to go through an Oracle. Well why didn't you just start with a multi sig of oracles? Its cheaper and makes way more sense!

Nostr is filled with maxis because nostr was created to demonstrate that everything being built on "web3" could be done better without a timechain.


Basically an attack against 0conf or trampoline channels or what have you. Basically people who think the transactions in peoples RAM, not written to the HDD as part of the merkle tree we call the timechain, might be a bit surprised to read about this.

Everyone responsible for the confusion between Bitcoin and crypto should read this
Bitcoin Ekasi is a bitcoin circular economy in South Africa. It is one of dozens of bitcoin circular economies around the world inspiring grassroots activities driving the adoption of bitcoin in Asia, Africa, Latin America.

The success of Bitcoin Ekasi is directly responsible for South Africa's largest supermarket chain Pick n Pay integrating bitcoin payments throughout the country.

This is a tweet from Bitcoin Ekasi today,

Here's the reality:

Today I attended the opening of a new Bitcoin education center in Kumasi, Ghana, in rural Africa.

The village chief spoke during the formalities and he expressed some unexpected skepticism towards the opening of the new center.

He said, and I'm paraphrasing:

"Bitcoin can be good, but it can be dangerous. Bitcoin can be a scam. A business collapsed and people lost millions of dollars. I am not sure you should teach our children about Bitcoin here."

Of course, the basics of Bitcoin to be taught at this center has nothing to do with the FTX casino and its crypto delinquency.

But this is the reality of its after effects.

This is the unseen and largely unrecognized effect of endless tokens riding on Bitcoin's coattails.

I challenge anyone who argues against Bitcoin Maximalism to step outside their techno bubble.

Step outside that place where a small minority of earth's people live, with a skill that takes years to acquire under the best of circumstances, which enables nuanced differentiation.

Take a trip down to ground level, come see what's being built, and spend time to understand it.

And then tell me Bitcoin Maximalism doesn't make sense.

I am waiting.

The proliferation of endless centralized premine, ICO shitcoins printed out of thin air by silicon valley start ups hiding behind bitcoin to escape from silicon valley regulations and those who support and enable shitcoin casinos are contributing to the confusion. The normalizing of affinity scam marketing and exploitation by companies and VC behind shitcoins is a scourge on bitcoin.

There's no company behind bitcoin. No foundation, premine, ICO, VC, license, trademarks, not even an "official" website, code repo or even a formal specification. There are only bitcoiners. If you think bitcoiners who call out and fight back against marketing of scams in the name of bitcoin are toxic, ask yourself what does that say about you?

When you think about bitcoin, think about this message from Hal Finney,

“The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them. Unlike the world of today, where people are more or less at the mercy of credit agencies, large corporations, and governments.

Naturally, in today's society, with power allocated so disproportionately, such ideas are a threat to large organizations. Balancing power would mean a net loss of power for them. So no institution is going to pick up and champion these ideas.

It's going to have to be a grass-roots activity, one in which individuals first learn of how much power they can have, and then demand it.”

― Hal Finney, The Cypherpunks Mailing List (1992)

Bitcoin is a human project built and shaped by people like you and me. Bitcoin's success originates from grassroots activities like Bitcoin Ekasi empowering people and communities who never had access to the global economy until now. Even if you are not someone who is positively making a difference to bitcoin, at least you can try not to be disruptive to people who are the real heroes of this movement.


His defense attorney said his client didn't intend to kill the victim....what? I'd get a new defense lawyer. If I fire a gun at someone, its because I know its kill or be killed so yes I would intend to kill someone that I think is intending on killing me.


"Huh, that actually makes a lot less sense now that I'm rewatching it. I swear it was profound at the time"


Which is like whatever you can do that, bloating the timechain by abusing the segwit rules though and a torrent file would have and has been working just fine.


Pretty sure that's gonna be a poisonous mushroom my dude.


Yes I suppose its immature to allow your blood pressure to rise and for your time and health to be wasted on things outside of yourself.

To act without frustration. They only teach that to people in certain careers and religions though


I'm a full archive. I'm a full archive who is also running segwit.

Just because I'm doing that, doesn't mean I can't be upset about what people are doing with it.


He would turn twitter into a paid nostr relay. $5 a month. Wouldn't even accept Bitcoin for it like the other relays.


"post-segwit the witness data doesnt go into the UTXOset and can get pruned. so long-term it’s literally cheaper for node operators. On top of that, we want people to be able to do things like complex scripts for lightning, multisig, other contracting. So if those things are now cheaper for nodes, reflect that in the fees" -someone told me this


Segwit

Tx inputs and outputs are 4x the price of segwit space and are reflected by the vbytes they're set to. Each real segwit byte is 1 sat per byte and an input and output is 4 sats per byte (still 1 sat per vbyte)

This means also that a segwit only block can be 4x the size of a block with no segwit.


Run a bitcoin core client prior to segwit, but then also don't use a segwit bitcoin address. Pre-segwit nodes see all segwit addresses as something anyone can spend from and just sorta trust miners not to screw anyone.

But also ask yourself if this is big enough to call it quits on segwit.


I wouldn't call it a taproot oversight. I think its more a segwit oversight


They need an incentive to do that. Right now they're being paid to include it


Rather be shamed than banished from society (i.e. cancelled)


Don't see anything


Isn't this just stratumv2 with fedimint on top?


When you kinda came full circle at the end there I was like "ah shit I understand where this is all going now its gonna be awesome!"


Then you wouldn't connect to the relay that does it!


I think it makes the most economic sense for there to be specialized relays specifically language specific relays, but there's nothing keeping both from existing (except that maybe nonspecialized relays might go broke or switch to being paid services but I think we're moving towards paid relays or friend hosted relays either way)


Oh so we're still talking about relay filtering then and not actually client side filtering. Yeah alright memorization can help there then.


You're still performing a check.


You still have to do

if lang == english
 return note
else
 #implicitely drop the note

But I guess the argument is supposed to be that this check for every single note relayed to the user isn't significant enough to have noticeable performance issues for the user....


You really don't have to do this at the client level. I mean sure, a client with relay defaults that reject other languages or something, but you don't have to use the users processing power and battery life to do sorting.

In any case at least we all agree on a language parameter for both of our use cases and the protocol level is all we really have to agree on.


Why? Your observation is not something I've seen. I've rather seen a dominant language get angry and yell at other language speakers to learn the dominant language and shoo away translation efforts.


Yes the translation would be a separate field in the event. It would have to be. The translation wouldn't be signed by the user.

But yes, add a language parameter!

I think my main complaint was focusing on using the language parameter for language filtering rather than translation. Seemed like a focus on enforcing a language barrier rather than working to remove it.


I actually suggested a language parameter to be added to notes though.

But how it would work, is that if you transmit a note to a translating relay, it would translate it and relay to clients requesting certain languages on that relay. It would store the translation for the same duration of time that it stores the note. "Memoization"


That clients would translate rather than relays is not a technical limitation and is rather entirely your assertion. I don't recommend it because memorization really does help with performance.

And my point on the third was that your assertion that only English speakers would prefer translated notes rather than language filtered notes was merely that it seemed to me to be a strange assertion to make.


Well like I said, for the kinds of people who would connect to translation relays, the aggregate of click to translate would cause unnecessary traffic to the translation service for duplicate requests.


Well first of all, you only get translated notes if you connect to a translated relay

Second, relays that reject other languages are possible

Third, "Only English speakers would prefer what you are suggesting" is very ironic. I'm much more used to Americans complaining about Spanish.


Search isn't part of the protocol either.

Anyway, I think client side translation makes sense, but it would cause increased network traffic. To obtain the same effect with less work, translation relays make the most sense. The translation itself is unsigned of course, but it can be extra data that comes with a note. Protocol side, marking notes with a language field could make all of this come together pretty nicely.


I think it would be better to focus on translation rather than filtering when it comes to language


Yes Phoenix is very much like breez. You can even force close your channels and back up from the on-chain seed phrase.

However, Phoenix does allow ACINQ to publish an old channel state so that's one of the risks. Still a better model than full custodial in my opinion.
