In theory you can split a key but it kinda defeats the purpose because someone will know the original private key.
You can't use an existing nsec as a sub key, everyone needs to generate keys together
Shitcoining on bitcoin has existed for over a decade and isn't going away. OP_CAT doesn't uniquely enable anything more, its just a scripting proposal that enables covenants and lots of other stuff.
Current bitcoin is moving towards custodians as scaling solutions which is the opposite of what we should be doing. Covenants are a good option for trying to scale this and OP_CAT is probably the most general covenant we could get.
OP_CAT was removed from bitcoin because there was no limits on it, that could have caused DoS vulnerabilites. Bringing it back with a limit (or with GSR) would be great imo. I don't think bitcoin would be dead if satoshi instead added a limit to OP_CAT instead of disabling it.
Lightning is basically the only layer we can do with current bitcoin. Soft forks are needed to do more scaling. Not scaling on chain but with new layer 2 designs
Liquid and Fedimint are not layers, they are custodial solutions. Ark has lots of problems without covenants
I've never seen someone say concatenate is a powerful technology
New mutiny update going out today that fixes some bugs and will enable us to start testing a new LSP.
Need some beta testers for the new LSP! If you're interested please dm me and I can get you set up.
