What wallet?


I wouldn't write Bitcoin off so fast. Whenever a new technology comes along the vested interests try and make it conform to the existing systems. Like England requiring motor cars to have a driver, an engineer and a flag man to walk in front and warn people of the coming danger.

If we fragment off into smaller crypto currencies, the small ones will become subject to currency manipulation and lose value over time as the number of crypto currencies continues to grow.

The battle needs to be for Bitcoin.

If 90% of miners and nodes signalled an upgrade the banks would have to follow or hold a dead chain.

Miners want more transactions on chain. Users want permissionless payments without a bank. When the pain comes, nodes will flag to upgrade, unless they have been persuaded to give up.

Banks would need to subsidise miners and fund expensive misinformation campaigns to stop Bitcoin developing in a way that maintains a peer to peer permissionless protocol. This would be expensive and increase costs which won't be sustainable long term.

Look at the scale, 1.9 to 1.7 is not the end of the supply. It's only a 10% decrease.

It's basic incentives. If Bitcoin is expensive on the base layer, users need banks to hold it for them. This allows all the shady practices of traditional banking to continue. Bank runs are difficult because the network becomes congested and fees climb prohibitively high. Anyone who holds a lot of Bitcoin can become a bank and profit off others. Whether it's Saylor or Swan, BlackRock or Coinbase, this is their incentive.

But Bitcoin is controlled by proof of work, not proof of stake.

Miners are incentivised to maximise on chain transactions, fees x volume. If the fees prevent transactions they would rather scale the base layer.

Users are incentivised to control their own keys to prevent losing funds and having the value of their Bitcoin diluted by fractional reserve banking. They also want the lowest cost nodes, so would rather scale through permissionless scaling solutions.

The block size wars were users vs miners, users prevailed with the UASF for taproot which enabled lightning for scaling, rather than large blocks. There are limits to lightning which is becoming clear.

The next will probably be users vs bankers.

In Bitcoin, be ready to burn your heroes.

It's an obvious play, but people who are payed to speak tend to be more vocal. Take note of influencers who are defending and calling out behaviour that undermines Bitcoin.

I wish there was a way to flag accounts on nostr so you could privately (or publically) make notes about accounts for future reference.


What Devs are building to enable zaps from wallets that are too small to be economical on the base layer, is applicable to the future of Bitcoin. These micro transactions are the marginal case for Bitcoin that will continue to grow as Bitcoin adoption continues. Minimising trust and maximising access and privacy is essential. Proof of reserves, open source code, no KYC etc.

These are all compromises from securing your own keys. We need to make sure that as the base layer becomes congested that  controlling your own Bitcoin in a permissionless way continues to be the highest priority.


An expensive base layer forces everyone into banks and make bankruns prohibitively expensive. Saylor can collect management fees and leverage the equity.

The maximum number of transactions in a block is 4000. That's 210,240,000 transactions per year, but in reality it's about half as the fees climb as you fill the block. That's not enough for everyone in the world to even have a single lightning channel. It's not a bottleneck yet, but it will need to be tackled once it is.

Not your keys, not your coins.


Poor take. Bitcoin has been improved many times since inception.


It will be interesting. Big holders are incentivise to stop development and force transactions into traditional banking, which they can profit from holding on behalf of others. Also the harder to move on-chain, the less likely bank runs are.

Miners on the other hand are incentivised to prefer scaling and increase the number of on chain transactions.

Users are also incentivised to control their own keys to prevent fractionally reserved lending which debases the value of their coins.

Fortunately Bitcoin is proof of work, not proof of stake, so it doesn't really matter how much Michael Saylor or Coinbase hold.

If the ability to create a bank run doesn't exist, then Bitcoin will suffer the same fate as gold. Individuals at least need a lightning channel to a bank node to have permissionless access to control majority of their wealth. This will protect against large scale fractional reserve banking.


You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.


Think of it as network effects of a common language of value rather than fanaticism. Technology is not scarce and can be changed when needed, even though it's hard to convince a large group to change the group can if it's needed.

The UX of the English language is pretty crap. We could probably design a number of better languages that sound like it's written and it's rules are more consistent, and overall sounds nicer to speak, but that doesn't mean anyone will adopt it.

Hi, #welcome My wife is a midwife.


It's still a theoretical problem at the moment. If it is not solved when it becomes a problem, it will mean shitcoins continue to grow. Slowly at first as custodial Bitcoin solutions to scaling will keep Bitcoin dominant, but there is bound to be another Celcius or FTX that will fractionally reserve the Bitcoin in custody and go bust. This will dent Bitcoins reputation and put an upper limit on its growth.

Nothing, except that they are one hack, a government order or an internal bad actor away from everyone losing all their Bitcoin on it.

For small amounts they are great.

Awesome. Dumb question, how do I swap better ln and federation? I can send to my federation from an external wallet but want to use my Mutiny balance.


Release time!

In our biggest update yet, we've completely redesigned the home screen, added a nostr-based profile setup walkthrough, and have finished our initial fedimint integrations by adding a federation discovery & recommendations!

https://m.primal.net/HqfS.jpg

Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!

https://m.primal.net/HqfT.jpg

The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!

https://m.primal.net/HqfV.jpg

To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.

Next up, better fedimint support!

Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.

This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.

https://m.primal.net/HqfW.png

You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.

Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!

Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.

I don't have a problem with developing alternatives, a free market is a good thing.

I see a lot of people give up on Bitcoin and relinquish their influence on it.


I agree Bitcoin doesn't scale in a non-custodial way at the moment. There is a risk that it never will. Giving up and starting alternate projects will mean that it never will.


Can it do it without requiring a custodian?

How does monero scale to billions?

Genuine question, because money tends to one medium of exchange.

It’s hard to tell if Roger Ver is a scammer, or a victim of many scams. Perhaps he is the most malicious liar in Bitcoin history.

I don’t really care. He says everyone should hold their own keys, privacy is important, and Bitcoin can destroy the central banks.

This is the message of Bitcoin. If Roger is using this message to scam shitcoiners, I don’t care. The message is far more important than the messenger.

Michael Saylor does not like this message. His message is that Bitcoin needs to separate itself from the cypherpunks.

The big blockers were right about one thing. Big blocks are far less centralizing than KYC custodial lightning.

Listen to nostr:npub12qz56plzehejkyp4waaannmnny4y4c30j8q55a3wlk49haslga2snypdx8 interview Roger and decide for yourself. Maybe you hate cypherpunks too. Whatever, Bitcoin is for enemies. When we have drivechains, everyone will come back to the real Bitcoin anyway.

If there is no possibility of a bankrun, banks will fractionally reserve


To use it in a permissionless way you need your own channel, which requires some UTXOs, if not everyone can have a UTXO then most people need to use a custodian.

Ideally every person could do an on chain transaction at least once a year. This would ensure that minimum amounts were held in custodial accounts.

He has a different perspective but I think he is genuine in his opinion. That doesn't make him a scammer, it just makes him wrong.

The fork made me not put money into Bitcoin for years, because how can you know which one will go to 0 and which one will survive? I have a lot of regret obviously 🤣 and hate a scammer as much as the next person, but this is an interview worth listening to. I don't trust Saylor and think that Wall Street is going to want a chain that only works for banks. I hope we can do better.


Interesting


I think this is going to be an increasing problem in Bitcoin development. Once someone becomes influencial in the Bitcoin world they will be handled by the state.

This is a risk for code development and lack of development.

The solution is understanding first principles concepts by all people holding Bitcoin. Writings of early cypherpunks and Bitcoin developers needs to be taught.

The development of the New Testament canon is a parallel, where letters of apostles and the gospels that had been shared were agreed upon.

Stolen 🤙


If Bitcoin continues to grow it will limit the ability of the state to exert control through the use of the money printer.

With the power of the state diminished, social organisations such as religious institutions will gain relevance in day to day life. The state will seek to subvert these structures to serve its ends.

Structures to resist this control will gain importance.

Just as the printing press allowed the reformation, nostr will be important to ensure that ideas will propogate because of their truthfulness, not the political power of their proponant.

No need to become criminals. You have a lot of instruments in democracies to change the narrative and regulations, especially in the year of elections. Use your power, don’t allow to degrade you to criminals.


Yeah, ultimately it will mean less centralisation in Bitcoin and a more anonymous UTXO set.


That's nostr right? 😁


how is the mint backed?

I was talking with a shitcoiner yesterday about nostr and how it avoids the need for blockchain and a token. I felt a little bit hypocritical when I said it only uses Bitcoin. It would be good to have the ability to use usd, even if just to help nostr avoid perception as just another crypto scam.

Sounds like you have some PTSD from the trauma. Think of it like pulling a muscle, but your brain. It's normal to be affected after things like this, allow yourself some rest to heal. 🫂

If you need there are treatments like EMDR that can help.


Yeah, I'd zap you but my Mutiny wallet channel closed when I changed the privacy to anonymous and tried to zap 3 SATs 😢

I think a game that required sign in with a nsec, and kept a global ranking and ranking within friends would be cool. Something like minesweeper for the nostalgia.

A 2 player gamp would be good to attract people to nostr because you could share an invite and for your friend to play you they would set up a nsec in a nsec bunker and nostr wallet. You could then play for zaps, though that might be technically illegal in some places.

The gains might be high now as it's being adopted, but one day the number of people and the amount of wealth they are saving in it will reach equilibrium. However, Bitcoin is valuable even if it only preserves your purchasing power. It doesn't rely on losses from other investors, but in the ability to escape inflation, depreciation and some taxes like property tax.

Funny that someone on TikTok is worried about surveillance.


Bitcoins sucess is predicated on the fact that the central bank is a means to harvest the wealth of a nations citizens and funnel it to the ruling class.

If this is true, Bitcoin will always have an advantage over fiat and will continue to attract wealth.

If it's not true, then Bitcoin is likely a passing fad.

This is why its hard to understand Bitcoin, not because of the technical complexity, but our reluctance to believe this disturbing fact.


Yeah.

Bitcoin is is the best alternative to everyone else using your fiat currency.

Yeah, that's why I was asking. Delete has greater potential to be used to hide the truth than edit.


How do you feel about deletes?

I had a friend who ran a blog, whenever I made a good argument against him he would delete it. It really pissed me off.

You can reject the suggestion.


Straight out of 1984


The difference between the faithful and the Godless is the former believe what’s true and just ultimately benefits them, the latter what benefits them is true and just.

The former are therefore free to see the world as it is, the latter forever required to maintain their version of it.


Maybe it's ADHD, but I see the use for edit. The number of times I post something then realise I forgot to articulate a key point.

As long as it's obvious an edit has been made and the history readable, it's not really white washing.

Delete is a bigger problem, but it wouldn't be hard to run relays that don't honour delete to archive notes, particularly of important accounts.

I don't think we will see lots of grammar Nazis trying to polish everyone's notes. Edit allows collaboration, which has its place.


Preferable to a comment highlighting your error


If you accept an edit from someone else, how does it look?


I guess it'll have a new eventID. That seems important for people trying to find it and send a link to it.

Update: it's not a new event ID


Bullish


Yeah, that's how I thought it worked, but it still shares the original which I thought would have been replaced.


I'm loving the edit feature in Amethyst, however when I shares note njump still shares the unedited version. How are edits viewed across other clients?

I grew up on a farm too. We sold when I was 12 because it was getting harder to make a living. Dad said you had to get big or get out. I now know that was a quote by the secretary of agriculture under President Richard Nixon, the inevitable result of fiat money.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

To say that the evil in the world is proof there is no Good is to presume to know the mind of God. If God so loved the world that he is willing to redeem it, perhaps it's suffering has a purpose.

Haha, my mum broke mine from pulling it too hard, in a carpark.


"Historically, people have taken up scarce commodities as money, if
necessary taking up whatever is at hand, such as shells or stones.  Each
has a kernel of usefulness that helped bootstrap the process, but the
monetary value ends up being much more than the functional value alone.
  Most of the value comes from the value that others place in it.  Gold,
for instance, is pretty, non-corrosive and easily malleable, but most of
its value is clearly not from that.  Brass is shiny and similar in
colour.  The vast majority of gold sits unused in vaults, owned by
governments that could care less about its prettiness.

Until now, no scarce commodity that can be traded over a communications
channel without a trusted third party has been available.  If there is a
desire to take up a form of money that can be traded over the Internet
without a TTP, then now that is possible."

It was an amazing experience being suddenly confronted with such a colorful variety of people. I was trying to fit in, in franny style, finding a way to feel comfortable around you all. Now I feel like, I can be me, share myself, and there are no doubts anymore. It’s different to suddenly communicating with complete strangers, next to, gained trust with some of them.
It’s not just a new social media, it was the entrance to get in touch with changemakers and visionaries that see Bitcoin as a very important tool! Together with freedom of speech! - for me.
I am a young adult mindfully fucking around. And you want me to be my BEST version. You want me to NOT trust anything. To verify on my OWN. They encourage you. Without focusing on money, ironically.
It feels extremely meaningful. Sending love to everyone, even those I don’t vibe with, you still make me better. I’m a whole different person today but my values stay the same. 🤙🏼💜

A more practical modern meaning of usury is "enslaving people with financial trickery."

There is no bigger financial trickery than printing fake money out of thin air, loaning it to governments, charging interest on it, and then getting the governments to pay the interest by coercive taxes forced upon regular citizens.

This is the "business" of central banks.

It's essentially tax farming and harvesting the efforts of human cattle.

One of the biggest obstacles to growth I've seen in people is that make everything about themselves. Not everything happens to you or for you. The higher you climb the more it is about others.

When struggles starts - no matter what happens - on your end it's all about staying productive, being a good person, and doing the best you can. That's all.

Yes, you are there because of the experiences and skills that you have. But maybe you're also there to be an example. Martyr. You could be part of someone's test. You never know how Universe wants to use you.

After going through all the life experiences and startups in the last two decades - the only moments I regret are those when I lost control and lashed out, blaming and hurting others.

On the other hand, if I managed to keep control and stay the course, it has paid huge dividends. I've had engineers come back in decade and admit they've been assholes causing problems, only to end up being critical for the projects I'm currently on. Young startup founders who followed my struggles and wanted to know details behind them so they can do better. Or my favorite - VCs that have been following me on Twitter for years... and complain they can't shitpost (I explain that they can, but not high success rate there).

The most important part: don't allow pain to provide opening for corruption to seep in, allowing others to vilify you. Stay the course and do the best you can. Protect others that are overexposed. The more you can honestly channel the truth you feel, the better in tune you'll be to manifest whatever outcome Universe wants you to manifest.

You can have all the money in the world but if the society you live in is crumbling around you, you’re gonna have a bad time.

At some point money isn’t going to make you more secure and will in fact make you a target.

You can reason that a $5 wrench attack won’t happen to you because thieves can’t access your multisigged cold storage so why would they hurt you? Because “fuck you”, that’s why. Desperate people do desperate things, they will act irrationally, and if you’re surrounded by such desperation the odds of it affecting you go up exponentially.

Poverty and wealth is its own network effect; when everyone around you is poor you will get dragged down, when everyone around you is progressing in life your lot will rise also.

I'm saying there is a genetic predisposition. You can see this in families that are a bit strange having children with severe autism. The parents had the gene but much less severe presentation.


I think the autism was always there, it just didn't present as severe.

It's probably presenting more severe due to poorer diet, more seed oils, more toxins, less microbial diversity.

If you are long Bitcoin, mining is a way to buy Bitcoin without moving the price higher. It is also like equity in a company, as it gives you some control over the network. I think that's where the institutional investment is. They can dump Bitcoin to keep the price low and drive out mining competition.

So let me get this straight. In a democracy, un-elected government officials print money for free, to spend on pet projects and give to their friends and special interest groups. By printing more dollars, they devalue the existing dollars, making my savings worth less, meaning that the money they printed wasn’t actually free and was in fact extracted from the value of my savings account. Then I’m expected to put my savings into a risky portfolio run by obviously untrustworthy executives, just so that the value of my savings might keep up with the constant and nonconsensual reduction of its worth in dollar terms by politicians that I didn’t vote for. And then, if that risky portfolio grows successfully and I want to trade those assets for dollars so that I can spend my savings when I need them later in life, I pay a tax to those politicians on the assets’ increase in dollar value, despite the fact that they only appear to have increased in price because of all the extra money that was printed between when I started saving and now, making every dollar worth less and thus requiring more dollars to buy the same asset in the future!?

First of all, what a fucking scam.

Second, where do I buy Bitcoin?


What about nostr?


I'm the original Azz, I'm up to day8


Burn it. Burn it all. 🤣


He is a scammer. His million dollar bet was a local top. The confidence convinced people to buy while insiders sold into their liquidity. Never trust a famous bitcoiner.


He was very smart. Conned lots of people into being liquidity at the local high.


Worth it


Because it's not the government. It's special interest groups

# Nostr: a quick introduction, attempt #1

![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/0*TyaSRBLhkTNgEoIJ)

Nostr doesn't have a material existence, it is not a website or an app. Nostr is just a description what kind of messages each computer can send to the others and vice-versa. It's a very simple thing, but the fact that such description exists allows different apps to connect to different servers automatically, without people having to talk behind the scenes or sign contracts or anything like that.

When you use a Nostr _client_ that is what happens, your _client_ will connect to a bunch of servers, called _relays_, and all these _relays_ will speak the same "language" so your _client_ will be able to publish notes to them all and also download notes from other people.

That's basically what Nostr is: this communication layer between the _client_ you run on your phone or desktop computer and the _relay_ that someone else is running on some server somewhere. There is no central authority dictating who can connect to whom or even anyone who knows for sure where each note is stored.

If you think about it, Nostr is very much like the internet itself: there are millions of websites out there, and basically anyone can run a new one, and there are websites that allow you to store and publish your stuff on them.

The added benefit of Nostr is that this unified "language" that all Nostr _clients_ speak allow them to switch very easily and cleanly between _relays_. So if one _relay_ decides to ban someone that person can switch to publishing to others _relays_ and their audience will quickly follow them there. Likewise, it becomes much easier for _relays_ to impose any restrictions they want on their users: no _relay_ has to uphold a moral ground of "absolute free speech": each _relay_ can decide to delete notes or ban users for no reason, or even only store notes from a preselected set of people and no one will be entitled to complain about that.

There are some bad things about this design: on Nostr there are no guarantees that _relays_ will have the notes you want to read or that they will store the notes you're sending to them. We can't just assume all _relays_ will have everything — much to the contrary, as Nostr grows more _relays_ will exist and people will tend to publishing to a small set of all the _relays_, so depending on the decisions each _client_ takes when publishing and when fetching notes, users may see a different set of replies to a note, for example, and be confused.

Another problem with the idea of publishing to multiple servers is that they may be run by all sorts of malicious people that may edit your notes. Since no one wants to see garbage published under their name, Nostr fixes that by requiring notes to have a cryptographic signature. This signature is attached to the note and verified by everybody at all times, which ensures the notes weren't tampered (if any part of the note is changed even by a single character that would cause the signature to become invalid and then the note would be dropped). The fix is perfect, except for the fact that it introduces the requirement that each user must now hold this 63-character code that starts with "nsec1", which they must not reveal to anyone. Although annoying, this requirement brings another benefit: that users can automatically have the same identity in many different contexts and even use their Nostr identity to login to non-Nostr websites easily without having to rely on any third-party.

To conclude: Nostr is like the internet (or the internet of some decades ago): a little chaotic, but very open. It is better than the internet because it is structured and actions can be automated, but, like in the internet itself, nothing is guaranteed to work at all times and users many have to do some manual work from time to time to fix things. Plus, there is the cryptographic key stuff, which is painful, but cool.

Do you understand the difference between wanted and unwanted sexual attention? Tagging slutstr is bad.

Proverbs 11:22 talks about discretion, not dressing modesty. Why do you equate it?

1 Corinthians 11 is about praying and prophesying, probably in church gatherings. It has nothing to do with this. Thefact you reference it is laughable.

1 Timothy says the same as 1 Peter that i quoted. Why do you think thats not decent and appreciate clothing?

The bible doesn't say much about dressing modesty, but what it does say, I think Roya does.

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 Peter 3:3-4

The bible also rejoices in bueaty and sexuality.

"Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its fruit. Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best wine."
Song of Songs 7:6-12

Over the last few months it feels the bitcoin community has gotten more and more jaded on lightning. To be honest, this is for good reason, back in 2017 we were promised a decentralized payment network that would always have cheap payments and everyone would be able to run their own node. Nowadays, the average lightning user actually isn't using lightning, they are just using a custodial wallet and the few of that do run lightning nodes often find it a burdensome task. For us at Mutiny Wallet, we are trying to make this better by creating a lightweight self-custodial wallet and in my opinion we have been executing on that dream fairly well. In this post, I'll analyze these issues and present a new way to view lightning and what that means for bitcoin going forward.

First and foremost one of the hardest UX challenges of lightning is channel liquidity. No other payment system has these problems today besides lightning so this often confuses lots of users. To make matters worse, there aren't any practical hacks that we can do to get around this. Muun Wallet used an on-chain wallet + submarine swaps to get around the channel liquidity problem, this worked very well until fees went up and everyone realized it wasn't actually a lightning wallet. The better solution is JIT liquidity like we do in Mutiny or splicing like that is done in Phoenix. These solutions abstract some of it away but not enough, we often get support questions confused on why some payments have fees and others do not. The fact is channel liquidity is not a usable UX for most end users.

The other major pain point of lightning is the offline receive problem. Inherently, you must be online with your private keys to sign and claim a payment. There is technically an ongoing spec proposal to be able to work around this (essentially creating a notification system of when people are online to receive payments), but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem and still has limitations. There has been a few attempts to get around this, most notably was Zeus Pay lightning addresses. These essentially worked by just creating stuck payments and waited for the user to come online to claim, this caused a ton of problems for people and even forced us at Mutiny to block users from paying them because it caused so many force closures. This is a hard problem because the entire rest of the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem works by just copy-paste an address and you can send to it whenever, there isn't caveats around asking your friend to open their wallet. This is further exacerbated by things like lightning address that requires a webserver to even get an invoice in the first place.

Channel liquidity and offline receives in my opinion are the two most obvious reasons why self-custodial lightning is not popular. When most users hear about any of these, they just think screw that and move to a custodial wallet because it is so much easier. If these were our only two problems, I think self-custodial lightning would be fine, it may never be the predominant way people use lightning, but we could get the UX good enough that we have a significant portion of people using lightning in a sovereign way. However, there are more problems under the surface.

Channel liquidity is a problem, but it is also deceptive. When you have 100k sats of inbound liquidity you would think you could receive up to 100k sats, but this isn't the case, often you can't actually receive any. This is because of on-chain fees, when a payment is being made in lightning you are creating pre-signed transactions that have outputs for every in-flight payment, these outputs cost potential on-chain fees and the high on-chain fees go the more it eats into your liquidity. After we've solved most of our force close issues Mutiny this has been number one support request. Even if you do everything right, understand liquidity and have enough for your payment, sometimes it still won't work because on-chain fees are too high. This is always really discouraging because isn't the whole point of lightning to not have to
pay on-chain fees? Fundamentally, all current lightning channels could become entirely useless if on-chain fees went high enough because a single payment would require too many reserves. Obviously this is hyperbolic, but I hope I am getting the point across that on-chain fees don't just effect the opening and closing costs of channels, even if you are a diligent node runner that only opens channels when fees are low, that is not enough, your channels need to be large enough to pay for the on-chain fees of each HTLC at any future on-chain fee rate. As on-chain fees go up and up this problem will only get worse.

The proposed solution to these reserve issues are things like anchor channels, package relay, ephemeral anchors, etc. These are all well and good but kind of just mask the problem. They do solve it so the fee reserve can be much lower and possibly zero, however with the tradeoff that you need on-chain funds available to fee-bump your force closes so they can actually get into a block. This again breaks the UX for self-custodial users because they _have_ hold on-chain funds alongside their lightning funds so they can do those on-chain fee bumps. The size requirements for their on-chain funds is still dynamically based on how high on-chain fees can spike. Solutions for this can include having someone else bump your transaction fees but this brings basically a trusted 3rd party into the mix and isn't ideal.

When you lay out all the different tradeoffs a lightning node needs to make, especially in a high fee environment, it makes me think, what are we doing here, are we going down the wrong path? Lightning is still fundamentally a fantastic payment protocol but its limitation is that it requires _scale_. Basically every problem I've outlined goes away when you have a large lightning node with lots of liquidity and high uptime so many we should optimize for that. The market has been telling us this for years already, +90% of lightning users are using custodial wallets because it works so much better at scale. So how can we use large scale lightning nodes without custodial wallets?

Combining existing large scale lightning infrastructure with self-custodial solutions sadly, isn't totally possible. The only real way to do that as of now is Muun Wallet which as we talked about earlier, doesn't really solve the problem because everything is just an on-chain transaction. However, Muun was onto something. The architecture of having a simpler protocol interface with lightning is genius and gives us the best of both worlds. We can make fast cheap payments and let the big boys collect fees for running the lightning node. Aqua Wallet just launched which is essentially a Muun Wallet but on top of Liquid, this is a good bandaid fix but doesn't get to the root of the problem.

Before we go further we should take a step back and break down what problems we are trying to solve. Bitcoin has a fundamental scaling limitation through the block size, if we could make infinite, then we wouldn't necessarily need any layer 2s because we could just make on-chain payments. However, we live in the real world and have a 1mb block size limit, and this limits the number of transactions we can make on-chain. Lightning is a huge improvement to bitcoin because we don't need to put _every_ transaction on-chain, we just need to open a channel and can make seemingly countless payments. So why isn't lightning the silver bullet? Lightning lets us move payments off-chain but what it doesn't do is let us move ownership off-chain. Fundamentally lightning still relies on that, at the end of the day, a utxo goes to single user. So even if every on-chain transaction was a lightning channel, we still run into the limit of how many people can actually own those channels. What we need is another layer 2 that can scale utxo ownership and caninterop with lightning, that way we have a way to scale ownership combined with scaling payments.

So how do we scale ownership? Simply put, the answer today is custody, whether that is pure custodial like a Wallet of Satoshi or in the grey area like fedimints and liquid, the only way to do it today is through custody or federated bridges. In bitcoin, the only way to delegate ownership of a utxo to multiple parties is through multisig, however, that requires every user to be online when anyone wants to transact, and when you take go down this path far enough you end up just reinventing lightning.

Are we doomed then? Is there no way to scale bitcoin in a self-sovereign way? Luckily, the answer is no, but we need some soft-forks. Covenants are the way to scale bitcoin ownership. There are a bunch of covenant proposals but at their core what they propose to do is to add a way, so you can have a bitcoin address that limits where and how the coins in it can be spent. This can seem scary, but we already have these in bitcoin today, OP_CTLV (Check LockTime Verify), which was soft forked in 2016, only allows you to spend from a bitcoin address if the transaction has a given locktime, this lets you gate _when_ a utxo can be spent. What the current covenant proposals do is let you gate _where_ a utxo can be spent. With that simple primitive many different protocols can be built that allow for scaling ownership.

There are a lot of current covenant proposals, the main ones being: OP_CTV, OP_VAULT, OP_CSFS, OP_TXHASH, OP_CAT, and APO. They all have different functionality and tradeoffs but in my opinion we should be looking towards activating a form of covenants because otherwise we will likely be moving towards a future of less sovereign bitcoin users.

The future is not bleak however, even without covenants we can still scale bitcoin for the world, just not in the ideal way. At Mutiny, we are full steam ahead on implementing fedimint into the wallet, in my opinion (and the rest of the team's) it looks like the best current scaling solution for bitcoin. Fedimints give us the ability to dynamically share ownership over a group of utxos and is able to interop with lightning through gateways. It is the pinnacle of the scaling dream for bitcoin with current technology and I can't wait to help make it reality while we can.

Very much disagree with this, it’s a pretty naive take.

- Australia’s CBDC was outsourced to the private sector, mostly the banks, and it’s successfully passed the pilot phase - so much for not giving up their debt creation, they’re working hand in glove with central banks
- Privacy doesn’t override shit for normies. I’ll just point to Snowden’s revelations as evidence if any is needed. If CBDCs are tied to UBI they will jump in head first with no consideration for the implications on privacy and only later look for outside routes when they understand reality.
- We always had gold as a sovereign currency, no-one used it because it wasn’t fit for purpose in the digital age. Sovereign alone isn’t enough, it needs to work for what people/institutions want to use it for.
- There are already functional cross-border CBDCs (Singapore-China) and others have been successfully piloted (read BIS)
- Digital Currency already exists in every fiat system. It’s not that different to a CBDC, that’s just amalgamating them into a unified system.

If post WW2 monetary order was a design choice, what makes you think they’ll make a design choice for something they can’t control? Listen to saifedean or Lyn discussing the uptake of fiat / exit from gold standard in WW1 - once one nation went they all did because game theory effectively forced them to as you can’t win a war against a money printer if you don’t have one yourself.

We’ve got what, 1 country which has decided to take the hard route of getting out from under the IMF and they’re not even done yet - everyone else just keeps sucking that teat. Even Milei is going begging to them.

We’re not going to see CBDCs on Bitcoin-backed fedimints - this is delusional.

Bitcoin will be used but not in this way. It will be the hedge system between the USD world and the BRICS world for countries that can’t/wont go all in on either and simply occupying that position will see it eventually eat both (not Gresham’s law - you’ve made the common mistake of inverting it). It will also form the black market currency for individuals for any transaction people want to make outside the government’s purview which initially just replaces cash but will eat all the usecases they try to impose their dystopia on.

To say you’re unafraid is fine. I’m not afraid of money either. But I see what they’re trying to achieve and given there is no greater prize than control of the money (per Rothschild himself) I think it’s pretty shortsighted to just claim this is “doom-circle-jerk analysis”.

They ARE playing for sheepstations, they’re not going to fuck this up coming from incumbency against a rebel network with 1% uptake.

Bitcoin will win eventually but CBDCs are coming and freedom is going when they do. https://i.nostr.build/QO5q.jpg


This world is not less real than the one to come. The framework of the bible is that the world is fallen due to human sin and cursed as a result. The hope of the resurrection is a renewed creation.

There is also a strong theme in the new testament of being set free, breaking the bonds/chains of sin, overcoming the world and being victors over death.

The church is a target of the state to be used as a tool to control the masses. It is often overcome, just as shitcoin communities are VC captured, but when faithful to it's teachings it's quite subversive.


"Sex is a metaphor for everything else and everything is a metaphor for sex as well. Because sex is a coming together of two weather patterns, two separate countries, two entities in a conscious state of potentially blissful crisis. Or chaos, or harmony. You’re not quite sure what’s going to happen, but it is the most catastrophic, exciting, and weakening thing that can happen to us. If we are personally involved in it, every fiber of our being is made self-conscious, or is encourages to unify on some level with others. We are delicate. We bring our damage to sexuality, we bring our hopes, we bring our self-image, we bring our world-image, we bring what we believe we are/what we believe we aren’t, our blind spots, our prejudices, our sadness. Everything comes out. A lot of people are left wanting, and confusing, and having the idea that their body is like an unloved apartment building; it’s up for grabs and it’s of absolutely no worth. If we feel that way about ourselves and if we feel that way about others, then of course, sex is nothing more than a lot of rubbing and some kind of release. But the more we are, the more we can feel, the more we can empathize, the more human we are." https://makeshop-multi-images.akamaized.net/pinkhouse/shopimages/10/43/23_000000004310.jpg?1607062116

If you don't have a religion to shape your world view you are more gullible to be  manipulated to believe whatever those with the power to influence want you to believe. This is much more dangerous than religious beliefs that have stood the test of time and who's founders have passed.


Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

Yeah, worst decision ever. I kept my first unit as a rental because prices fell when we bought our first house. Managing tenants was a pain. It took a lot of work for very little return.


Yeah, it's hard to know.


Not really. Because a higher price means more users and more demand. The block size is limited so more this demand will increase fees.

The ordinals spam might be less because it would cost more, but potentially Bitcoin will be more prominent and people might be willing to pay more to put their crap on it.


Yeah, I think the ultimate solution will be ecash fedmints run by families on a shared lightning node that can splice on chain to keep enough liquidity but not too much. Until that is built out a paper ledger may be a good option


That is actually a great model. If users got even a small cut of what that the ads were paying the client and relays for hosting it would feel better as a user. It would also give a balance to zap with without having to get out a credit card and buy sats with. Most of the payout would get spent in the nostr ecosystem.


Yeah, but I worry that if in the future onchain fees are very high there, will be lots of unspendable UTXOs


I want to set up a Bitcoin account for my daughter to pay her pocket money and to put money she gets from friends and relatives for birthdays and Christmas. What I the best option for a 10 year time frame. Something that won't get rugged, that will still be around and that won't have unspendable UTXOs? Is a lightning channel a good option for long term planning? I would love a static address to send to, but don't have the knowledge to run a lightning node with ghost address.


I think Apple knew that was the killer formula. That's why they stopped it.


I'm toying with the idea of starting a Kombucha brewery. Since drinking Kombucha I have found I can handle drinking more alcohol without feeling sick, I think it's the B vitamins. I would love every bar and caffe to have a tap of Kombucha

I think after the initial ordinal craze wears off people will use them to commemorate important dates, like a birth, death or marriage. It will be a problem akin to cemeteries taking up valuable real-estate.


But aren't the high fees a way of denying people the option of self custody, so they put their money in the ETF? Isn't that the attack?

Assuming the attack is to force people into an ETF, I think the solution is ecash fedmint banks on lightning. An ETF needs to charge fees or lend out users money to make a profit. An ecash fedmint can get routing fees.


It was great to watch

I'd add that miners owned by the ETF companies will spam the network to keep fees prohibitively high to deter self custody.

Love it


So why not stick around?


I'm in Australia and have noticed that if I don't post very early in the morning to catch the US evening, I don't get much engagement.


Nostr can be hit and miss if your post gets seen because there is no algorithm pushing popular stuff to the top other than other people sharing stuff organically. If your model is to broadcast stuff, it is not going to work the same as other platforms. A few influencers have found the same 'issue', so don't take it personally. I think the organic nature of nostr is a strength because it developed a flatter network with less hierarchy. Nostr is also pretty saturated with Bitcoin stuff, so unless you are offering an exclusive take or something unique you will probably struggle to get the boosts. I usually appreciate your content and am glad you are posting here. Don't be discouraged because you are not getting the same response as on other platforms.


What if custodians use depositors Bitcoin to pay for ordinal transactions, to inflate fees so that more people use custodians?

Neither of these things need to happen inside of the EU for nostr to be used inside the EU. Banning nostr would be over reach, like declaring encryption a munition, it would likely backfire and draw attention to nostr.


But how would they enforce it?


I can see ordinals turning into something that celebrates milestone, like a wedding or the birth of a child. I'd be kind of cool to have something on the Bitcoin blockchain forever, sorta like people do with a gravestone. I don't understand why jpgs are a thing and this isn't. Either way, I don't think this stuff belongs on the chain.


He is right. It's a drastic move. It's like nuclear weapons being a deterrent. If Bitcoin gets captured, this is the nuke to drop.


Purple pill is clearly the better term


Wow, sorry to hear that. Praying for a speedy recovery for you.


If you haven't watched Cypherpunks Write Code. Highly recommend it.

I have uploaded it to nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7, thank me later

Every Sunday we refill our kombucha at the community tap. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/fde638d0b06bc37a45cfab5dbd9208df6471ba2c7de7c08c58ddd30693cb8499.jpg


Where is this? I'm in the process of scaling up to do something like this.


You can do anything with AI


The vibe you are picking up is probably autism.


Loving that you were catching up over Kombucha 🤙

Can't believe how far this has come in 12 months.


I mean the Y axis should be shown as a logarithmically.


Needs to be logarithmic because it looks like it stabilises in recent years as it approaches 0


It's probably the easiest thing to ferment. I brew for 7-9 days. Just keep 25% as a starter for the next batch. And top up with cooled black tea and sugar


I brew my own Kombucha so I know it's strong and low sugar. I only flavour with a few berries and some ginger


She said I was in a cult when I told her about nostr. I'm pretty safe here 😆


I think inertia is leading us toward a quantified state, in which the costs of tracking and categorizing objects — primarily people, phones, cars, and money — as they move from place to place becomes so low that most institutions are doing it by reflex, without either considering or caring for consequences. Eventually, somebody is going to exploit the gap in information (between what is available to ordinary people, and what is available  to organizations) in a way that causes enormous, historic harm, as happened in WWII when a particular state realized that IBM had compiled a database that was perfect for populating a list of names of those who would soon be marched off to camps. And that was just census data. Now they know what you read, where you go, who you're with, and how you'll vote.

The unfortunate reality of contemporary political thought is that consequences do not exist until they are felt. Rare is the chicken that fears the farmer. That means we've got two options: we either wait for the pain, or we stop waiting for political consensus.
