Digging through slack and found a crazy-bad-idea from 2022. After spending 6 days on Nostr, I called the new integration nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 just launched a few weeks ago 😎

gm nostr. this post is me posting on nostr more


i need to post on nostr more.


what are the best bitcoin memes I should share with my students this week?


Sometimes I run into a tech guy on Twitter, who talks about how cypherpunk he is.

I’m just a financial analyst and investor, so that’s cool to hear. The more cypherpunks, the better. I like to fund cypherpunks.

But then I look around, and he’s not active on Nostr for over a year. He’s only active on centralized social media.

So then I am confused at how supposedly cypherpunk he is. Is he really that reliant on centralized media? Often, it turns out yes. If not, what other cryptographic proof does he have for his work?

As Nostr increasingly gains network adoption, it becomes weirder when I analyze why someone who is techie is highly active on Twitter but not at all on Nostr.


Odell is hardly ever wrong

Except 100k by conference day


Here is another demo of my NIP implementation.
Now using ephemeral events, NIP-44 encryption and NIP-59 gift wraps:
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1276

I suggest we’ll call it NIP-80 after the default http port.

Imagine future browsers ( #browstr ) allowing you to enter http://<some-nprofile>.nostr/… and it would simply send the http request and receive the response via nostr events! Just like .onion sites but without the slowness of TOR.

It can also be useful for #iot devices that can serve a simple configuration-website and allow “browsing” them from anywhere in the world. I think TOR is too complicated to run on such devices.

As the USG grows more hostile to Bitcoin, we are passing legislation in Oklahoma to protect the ability to use Bitcoin in a self-sovereign manner.

The bill passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate and is awaiting the Governor's signature to make it law.

This bill takes Oklahoma from 0 to 1 and lays the bedrock for all our future Bitcoin advocacy.

The Oklahoma Bitcoin Association is making moves in our first year as an organization.

Zap Relay Contracts

Data Vending Machines (DVM)  has me thinking about decentralized betting markets.

Why couldn't a DVM job be a bet based on an arbitrary piece of data between two or more npubs?

E.g. user broadcasts job to relays based on outcome of XYZ sportballs event. User gives 2:1 odds based on XYZ outcome of XYZ event. User pays zap + overcollateralization. Funds held in a DLC-like "escrow" until outcome is achieved.

Relay processes xyz data, processes zap payment from both parties, collects fee after winner is paid-out.

Boobie vending machines?


DVM is a NIP for users to broadcast "job requests" to relays. Service providers compete to process jobs for users and get zapped upon completion. Lays the backbone for decentralized AI marketplaces.

Nostr is the coolest thing since Bitcoin.


I'm starting to see more and more diverse content on Nostr. It's no longer just a Bitcoin echo chamber.


“We should change Bitcoin now in a contentious way to fix the security budget” is basically the same tinkering mentality that central bankers have.

It begins with an overconfident assumption that they know fees won’t be sufficient in the future and that a certain “fix” is going to generate more fees. But some “fixes” could even backfire and create less fees, or introduce bugs, or damage the incentive structure.

The Bitcoin fee market a couple decades out will primarily be a function of adoption or lack thereof. In a world of eight billion people, only a couple hundred million can do an on chain transaction per year, or a bit more with maximal batching. The number of people who could do a monthly transaction is 1/12th of that number. In order to be concerned that bitcoin fees will be too low to prevent censorship in the future, we have to start with the assumption that not many people use bitcoin decades out.

Fedwire has about 100x the gross volume that Bitcoin currently does, with a similar number of transactions. What will Bitcoin’s fee market be if volumes go up 5x or 10x, let alone 50x or 100x? Who wants to raise their hand with a confident model of what bitcoin volumes will be in 2040?

What will someone pay to send a ten million dollar equivalent on chain settlement internationally? $100 in fees per million dollar settlement transaction would be .01%. $300 to get it in a quicker block would be 0.03%. That type of environment can generate tens of billions of dollars of fees annually. The fees that people pay to ship millions of dollars of gold long distances, or to perform a real estate transaction worth millions of dollars, are extremely high. Even if bitcoin is a fraction of that, it would be high by today’s standards. And in a world of billions of people, if nobody wants to pay $100 to send a million dollar settlement bearer asset transaction, then that’s a world where not many people use bitcoin period.

In some months the “security budget” concern trends. In other months, the “fees will be so high that only rich people can transact on chain” concern trends. These are so wildly contradictory and the fact that both are common concerns shows how little we know about the long term future.

I don’t think the fee market can be fixed by gimmicks. Either the network is desirable to use in a couple decades or it’s not. If 3 or 4 decades into bitcoin’s life it can’t generate significant settlement volumes, and gets easily censored due to low fees, then it’s just not a very desirable network at that point for one reason or another.

Some soft forks like covenants can be thoughtfully considered for scaling and fee density, and it’s good for smart developers to always be thinking about low risk improvements to the network that the node network and miners might have a high consensus positive view toward over time. But trying to rush VC-backed softforks, and using security budget FUD to push them, is pretty disingenuous imo.

Anyway, good morning.

'The Lightning Network' Does Not Exist
--------------------

- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise. There is no singular 'Lightning Network' but rather many payment channels between distinct peers, some connected with each other and some not.
- Lightning as an interoperable payment protocol between professional custodians seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
- Lightning as a robust sovereign payment protocol has yet to be battle tested. Heavy reliance on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, the friction of active liquidity management, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.
