I could be wrong, and it'll take some time either way, but I think chaumian ecash is going to be bigger than people expect.


👋 Whatcha working on right now? I'm working on a game too!


Chat + Boston Dynamics absolutely can replace them. Probably within the decade.

I absolutely love your posts. Thank you for all of your contributions.


Very nice 👌🏻


Bitcoin is inevitable imo, protect yourself (self custody) and you'll be alright.


10/10 album really 👌🏻

They can't break or manipulate it. So if that's their intent, they can get rekt. Bitcoin doesn't GAF.


Yes, the state can spend their Bitcoin on whatever they see for. Why would they allow people to use their Bitcoin? It's their Bitcoin. Also, that's not the case for El Salvador at all. They actually did distribute BTC to Chivo wallet users. Regardless, that doesn't stop the people from using custodial Bitcoin. It just means they state also has their own. And when the state spends it, it goes to someone else pockets rather than the state printing up money to spend.


Bitcoin is for everyone 🤷🏻

El Salvador is a state. I'm bullish on state adoption if hard money. The people of the state will follow.


Water is good too 😁

Ln sucks for micropayments with self custody. Works great when you have massive liquidity and plenty of routes.


Im gunna need you to drop everything and work on Arc. Too many lightning devs have been working on it so long to not understand the shortfalls or ignore them to pursue bandaid solutions that will never work at scale. sunk cost fallacy.


One things I’ve been telling my friends is that you need to make sure you’re having fun with it, one way or another, no matter what you’re working on in life. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Hope you all are having fun with it and hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

It's actually kind of shocking how polarized my Twitter/X feed has become.

So many people who were technical developers, capital allocators, thoughtful geopolitical commentators, etc are now just outright tribalists.

-Some of them are direct anti-Palestinian. Not just anti-Hamas, but outright against Muslims existing in Israel.

-Some of them are direct anti-Jew. Not just anti-Zionist in the sense of being critical of the modern state of Israel and its border rights. But instead just like, actually anti-Jew.

I hate to see this. The truth is not necessarily in the middle (ie "moderation" may itself be wrong by assuming the middle is correct), but perhaps more concerningly, many people can't even steelman their opponent's view. In the best of worlds, you should be able to explain the most intelligent version of your opponent's view, and then deconstruct it by explaining how it's wrong.

I see little of that. Hardly anyone can do it. My feed is now mostly like 90 IQ tribalist stuff, even from 120 IQ people. It's sad to see. I rarely see anyone who can steelman the Palestinian case and then explain why Israel is right, or steelman the Israeli case and explain why the Palestinians are right.

I have my own personal views, first and foremost toward the civilian children, and secondarily toward land rights, but perhaps my biggest view thirdly is to criticize the sheer polarization that has occurred. Everyone is sure, but few can particularly explain the dilemma in detail in such way that acknowledges their smartest opponents views and then builds their own case against that. Almost everyone is instead polarized and tribal now.


After analyzing it for a thousand hours over more than a decade, I still can’t find a better nutrient-to-cost ratio than grass-fed ground beef.

I also think non-grass beef is fine vs normal beef, but then I have certain environmental permaculture soil maxi ethical views. So I mean, ultimately my opinion is to eat beef, and preferably from cows that are as close to nature as possible (ie they eat tall deep-rooted grass and have space and thus don’t usually need antibacterial medicine because they are healthy).

I don’t like to conflict with real scientists, but more than a decade ago I began researching nutrition and experimenting on myself. Many bitcoiners find nutrition, but I found nutrition and then found bitcoin, which is the less profitable direction.

I am not a doctor or a nutritionist. Most doctors and nutritionists are shitty at nutrition, but nonetheless I am not one of them.

I am, however, an athlete and engineer. I began to notice my performance issues with industrial carbs and seed oils, and began removing them. Huge health boost, and I felt so much better. This was after reading many studies.

I then did personal blood tests. I logged my food, pricked my finger and tested my glucose each day, pricked my finger and tested my ketones each day, for science, etc. I felt good and performed well under ketosis, subject to certain athletic details depending on the sport.

Ultimately I practiced seasonal ketosis. Seasons of normal health-conscious food. Seasons where I go more hardcore on ketosis for health.

My main view is that low carb eating is good, grass-fed ground beef is particularly good and cheap, etc. Eat while foods and minimize toxins. I am happy to debate nutritionists or whoever on this, it isn’t my expertise, but imo a pre-qualifier to such a debate is that they need to have visible abs. I have no tolerance toward the opinion of a flabby university nutritionist.

Anyway, good evening.


Most posts I make on Nostr feel to some extent like a challenge. And I post them anyway. I enjoy that challenge. I write them in part *because* they are challenging.

I'm putting uncomfortable thoughts into the decentralized Nostr void to anyone who wants to host what I say on their relay.

That's why I'm here. I'm adding my thoughts to this medium to help advance it. I write here the things I wouldn't post to the normies on Twitter/X. Only on Nostr do I embrace my weirdness and inappropriateness. I analyzed this ecosystem, and decided that you, and only you, yes you reading this who took the time to be here, deserved to see my real or "based" thoughts to the extent that you care about them. And that includes my weaknesses. I've shown those in some of my recent posts, and I'll continue to show you my weaknesses here. I wrote about the times I got rekt in a fight and cried. I'll type that kind of thing out here, and only here, on Nostr, again and again.

If I post something intellectually polarizing I start to think, "what would my followers think?" But then I'm immediately like, "I don't know. Who cares. If they hate my truths here then were they even real my followers to begin with? Maybe they need to be challenged."

Meanwhile, I *do* care what you all think in aggregate, am willing to disagree with you individually on certain topics, but want to hear your thoughts. And I'm willing to change my views based on you. In fact, many of my Twitter/X posts are there over the past years because I want to see what people comment with before I write my full-on reports. The same is likely true for Nostr. This is raw ground. I want your thoughts. I won't bend my truths toward you, and I'll challenge you, as I expect you to challenge me.

So, if someone takes the effort to be on Nostr and some how reads this, I want them in my ecosystem. I want their criticisms as much as their praise. Criticize me here. I'll enjoy it. Let's go. You're awesome.

And then I'm like "What about my business contacts?"  I have like these various billionaire institutional close contacts that are richer than me but have to wear ties to work. But I mean, if they are reading this right now, they are fucking awesome. I think, any of my serious existing business contacts who are cool enough to be here, are likely people I want to continue to work with. If they don't like what I say, they can bring it up with me. Otherwise they can appreciate my rawness here, and recognize that Nostr is where I post my random thoughts or my deep thoughts, and either of which are my raw thoughts.

My goal is to be real, and to advanced this protocol.

The day that far more people are on Nostr, is the day I will practice more public moderation. Until then, and that's probably far away, it's the medium where I will drop f-bombs and describe weird situations and thoughts. Let's go.

Blockstream... Lol also doesn't really matter. Peg out for main net or atomic swap with boltz again to go back to lighting.


Faster, cheaper, confidential Bitcoin transactions with the ability to also issue and trade other tokens.


They're not on main net, they're faster transactions on Liquids blockchain. Liquid Bitcoin is pegged to main net Bitcoin.


Bitcoin side chain. Developed by Blockstream. Liquid is pegged to BTC with a peg in/out process, verified on liquid blockchain. Chain is validated by a federation of 70+ institutions (check out Blockstreams stuff for more info, it's all open source) liquid has confidetial transactions and 1 minute block times. Jade HW wallet and Blockstream green are both compatible with liquid network as well. You can also issue assets on liquid and I believe is the prime candidate for el Salvadors volcano bonds. Also, tether is on liquid and I think this is a huge missed opportunity for LATAM as they continue to use shitcoin chains like tron and to send tether. Liquid is more confidential and secure. Not that I would advocate anyone use tether... I definitely don't. Just trying to hit all the main points.


I am destroying my privacy to help plebs in this high fee environment but I hope this can help some of you. From Cash App to Liquid 2FA Multisig in less than 4 minutes, settled for under 1k sats in fees. Use the tools available to you.

What nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 is doing is innovation. Innovation breaks things. Natural incentives will fix it. Stopping payments from your wallet to a competitor is not a solution, it's a bandaid from developers who think they can make a better decision than it's users. nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkjis completely right here.

God, I love how this community is not scared to be vocal. It's exactly how innovation and better solutions are achieved.

No, they're not. They're just innovating.


ZEUS will never block payment to our competitors’ wallets, disparage or belittle anyone trying push Bitcoin adoption forward, or give up on trying to ship self custodial solutions.

We will, however, continue to push the limits of what is possible on Lightning in order to provide an amazing payments experience, in a self custodial manner, for as many people as possible.

The app store release of ZEUS v0.8.0, featuring our embedded node(“the node is in the phone”), OLYMPUS LSP, self custodial Lightning addresses, and rebrand, drops in December. Much more will follow in 2024.

We’re grateful to everyone who’s come along for the ride with us and we’re excited to help onboard the next wave of Bitcoiners.

Lol Yea... Same here.

#Bitcoin community, help a fellow Bitcoiner to recover funds! Reposts & @'s highly appreciated🙏

Anyone with contacts to a tech-savvy person at Kraken please relay this! The issue is not easy to get across, user tried with Kraken customer service for two weeks to no avail.

What happened:
- user accidentally pasted Kraken's ln node pubkey as "destination" in a Boltz swap
- turns out node pubkeys are valid P2PKs (the thing before there were Bitcoin addresses), so the swap went through
- now the funds are sitting in a P2PK which Kraken should have keys for

Here the P2PK: https://mempool.space/address/02f1a8c87607f415c8f22c00593002775941dea48869ce23096af27b0cfdcc0b69
Which matches:
https://amboss.space/node/02f1a8c87607f415c8f22c00593002775941dea48869ce23096af27b0cfdcc0b69

Kraken should be able to return the funds using their lightning node's key to sign the transaction.

We know this is a big ask and some might not even consider the amount worth the effort but for us this is about principles: Returning funds to a fellow Bitcoiner, user of Kraken & Boltz 🙏

Of course I would never advocate for such laws in practice on account of me being a libertarian.

It would probably be a good thing to outlaw birth control. Condoms too.

Can I use lntips with nwc ? Originally used it but switched to alby for cross platform and 1 tap zaps.


If I had a seed in multiple places it would be multiple points of single points of failure. Redundancy is not the key to security. Multisig is not a good solution for individual cold storage either. There are a lot more single points of failure with that.

You know the butcher your meat came from? You get cheese from your dairy farmer? You know a baker that makes read for you? Or do you just trust the items at the grocery store...

Agreed on the rest of your statements. But fast food is a bad scapegoat for processed foods. Beef is beef. There is nothing inherently unhealthy about a big Mac. Fast food is certainly overpriced but with proper excersize, there a little difference imo in a big Mac and the burger you made at home other than it's cost.


Disagree that big Mac's are that unhealthy.

Look, I get your point and I'm pro gun and don't disagree, but power is kinda a relative term here... 5.56 has a shit load of velocity. It's a lot more power than any pistol cartridge.


regardless, Bitcoin is P2P. As long as you can exchange fiat for G&S you can exchange Fiat for Bitcoin with other Bitcoiners that need the fiat for certain G&SI was just using strike and cash app as an example because they make it really easy. And Strikes plan is certainly to be global.


Everyone anywhere can receive their paycheck in Bitcoin if they just get strike or cash app... people still accept fiat for payment. As long as that is true, there will be somewhere to exchange that fiat for Bitcoin. Your point is moot. Anyone that doesn't think you can live on a Bitcoin standard clearly hasn't ever tied to. Of course you ca. Not only can you, you absolutely should if you can take a 50% down turn and still have enough Bitcoin to pay for your non discretionary spending.

Yes but the only thing keeping people in legacy platforms is engagement with people. Engagement with people is much higher on the platforms because of the network effect. Their following and engagement on these platforms were jump started by fiat pumping big techs bags to create digital priisons. The only thing keeping people in these prisons is their own ego that they stand to lose more than they gain by starting over and building somewhere else. They will understand once they are made to start over by their tech overlords when they post wrongthink and realize it was all a game and that they should begin building on an open protocol.

“Responsibly all-in.”

“I like the orange coin. A lot.”

My research and audience straddles the macro finance world and the bitcoin world. And so humorously, I get heat from both sides.

“Lyn, I love your macro work but you’re too obsessed with bitcoin; I wish you would focus less on that stuff.” -hedge fund reader.

Vs

“Lyn, since you’re a fellow bitcoiner, why do you only have a 5-10% allocation to bitcoin in your public model portfolios!? Shouldn’t you sell all your stocks and buy more?” -fellow pleb.

I talk to many institutions, as well as high net worth individuals, and medium net worth individuals like engineers and doctors. This is where individual situations come into play. I had been watching bitcoin for a while, publicly wrote about it near the top of the cycle in 2017 and (correctly) passed on it from that point, but then kept watching it during the bear market and then hardcore jumped into it during the March/April 2020 crash starting at $6,900/coin as a long-term bull, and haven’t wavered since.

For example, 2.5 years later as Bitcoin crashed amid the FTX fallout in November 2022 from 69k to sub-16k, I was at Pacific Bitcoin laughing about it. I was not uncertain.

In those initial months of 2020, I put every dollar of my liquid capital into bitcoin. I didn’t sell my existing stocks and trigger capital gains tax, didn’t withdraw from my IRA or 401(k), but otherwise most of my existing liquid cash and all of my incoming earned cash went into bitcoin. I threw like a quarter of my net worth into it. And it paid off. For me as a conservative investor, that was my version of “all-in”. I wasn’t fucking around. I never go all-in like that, but I did it for bitcoin.

I grew up poor, and then worked for 12 years in engineering and engineering management. There is no world where I would invest in such a way that there was even a 1% chance that I could be wrong and lose my entire net worth and the past 12 years of my work at that point. I would never be 100% invested unless I consider it to be risk-free, and I consider nothing to be risk-free, and so I diversify by default. I am conservative as a baseline, but opportunistic when appropriate. I put at most 5% into any one stock, but I threw 25% into bitcoin as an anomaly due to how bullish I was. My husband was like, “what are we doing?” and I was like, “trust me, here’s why”.

And then, there are eight family members and associates who, if I were to go broke, would have to radically diminish and change their lifestyles. Their housing support and their everyday income comes significantly from my earnings. It’s like running a small business. So, when I see people on social media be like, “wHy DoN’t YoU gO aLl iN?” I’m thinking like, “Bitch, I’ve gone about as all-in on this new distributed ledger as I can while still sustaining a reasonable level of lower volatility equity and other assets for tangible income and fallback support for eight people”. And then I realize the anon who wrote that is probably a single dude in his parents’ basement, and my response is unwarranted. Don’t let anons on social media affect you.

For example, our extended family ran into a liquidity issue and had to change households this year, and we got a good real estate deal but it was based on me having six figures in liquidity to just throw around at short notice, which meant having maintained adequate diversification for that possibility, which I was anticipating.

In my model portfolios, I began to recommend a 5% bitcoin allocation in early 2020, and then I took some chips off the table in 2021 near the highs after a 3x and 5x gain as Musk was pumping Dogecoin, to rebalance back down to that 5% target. Why? Because not everybody has put a thousand hours of research into it and can realistically put a quarter of their liquid net worth into it. My point was, “your portfolio has zero bitcoin, you should probably have at least 5% bitcoin, and better yet, you should buy bitcoin non-custodially at whatever size is appropriate for you. As it soars, rebalance. As it falls, buy back in.” That rebalancing worked well for my public portfolio. I warned of exuberance, leaned into fear, despite not trying to predict any short-term price action.

And during 2022, amid the bear market, I joined the formation of Ego Death Capital, a bitcoin-only VC firm, as a founding advisor. And more recently, I’m leaning more into that role, and some announcements regarding that are incoming in terms of my deeper involvement. In other words, while bitcoin price action was in a period of weakness, I was happily ready to lean in to it with my capital, my time, and my reputation, to fund bitcoin companies that were developing cool stuff. https://egodeath.capital/portfolio

And then there was my husband’s wisdom. He edits all of my research reports, among other work that he does. And he has better wisdom than me overall. One day in early 2023 amid the bear market out of the blue after hardly ever talking about bitcoin he was like, “How many bitcoins do we have?” I said the number X but also explained that I am buying more lately. He said, “Alright, good, let’s get to Y soon. I know you are super cautious, and I love that, but don’t mess around on this. Buy more. Push harder. I know you have extra pockets of liquidity above the baseline. Use them.” By Y, I mean he gave me an aggressive number that was a bit above what I would have otherwise done in that timeframe.

I was like, “Okay I’ll try. But I mean, we need certain liquidity.” And he said, “I’ve edited your research reports for years. I’ve never seen you more convicted on something. Don’t fuck around on this. Lean into it. We will figure out liquidity if need be. You said to trust you in early 2020 when you initially bought it. Trust me here in 2023 when I say to buy extra vs whatever you’re buying. I can read you better than you can read yourself, and the answer is to buy. You’re being too conservative.” I followed his advice, at like sub-$20k and sub-$25k.

And then later this year, within the past few months, we indeed balanced it very tightly; I had bought as many bitcoin for us as we could early in the year and I barely hit the target he set since I was being cautious, and then we ran into a surprise liquidity requirement (changing households in Egypt) and needed to throw capital at a new place as a down payment for our family for seven people, and I was like, “This is why I maintained so much liquidity, btw. We have it because I saw this type of thing coming!” And he was like, “But we have it, right?” I and I was like, “Yes, barely at such short notice!” And he was like, “So we have the exact amount then, fucking nailed it!” The yin-and-yang worked well.

The point is, I’m as all-in on bitcoin as I get with any asset. Which means to say, I am ready to survive its failure or repression in long bear markets without selling any, but I am also highly engaged and invested in its success.  I never go all-in on anything, but I’ve never leaned into any asset as thoroughly as I have done on bitcoin since April 2020. It’s the maximum I lean into any asset while still maintaining financial prudence. When it falls 80%, it doesn’t affect my lifestyle or force me to sell. When it soars, I am cautious, and focus on how to best improve the success of the network.

Good evening. Let's accelerate.


No one should make a living posting to one single platform. It's all pumped up by fiat.


Yes but I guess I was saying no one is making them use the shitty platforms. It's just that nostr offers a huge incentive to build on the protocol because one clients or relays opinion can only affect your reach on their own systems, not your notes themselves on any other systems that may exist. This is a lesson people will only learn after getting burned a few times before figuring it out.


Everyone can leave the current platforms... Nothing is keeping them there. I don't understand the note.


"Stay humble, stack sats" is not a meme for buying #bitcoin. It's a phrase for saving money lowering your time preference.

Payment failure is a major flaw in all account-based networks, such as Tron, Ethereum, and other alts. The sad irony is that this impacts the demographic most likely to use crypto rails to begin with—those in emerging markets suffering from currency debasement and hyperinflation. Fortunately, there is a better alternative on #Bitcoin. 🧵

Estimates of Ethereum's payment failure rate range, but there was a consistent rate of over 1 million transactions per month during peak periods. A quick search on reddit will garner hundreds of threads like the one below of users losing money due to failures.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/qq5iin/failed_transactions_costing_250_is_not_fine/

Even Vitalik himself cites a ~2.3% failure rate. Note, we shouldn't fault those flocking to Tron or Ethereum with strong stablecoin network effects (there is clear use case) but, instead, encourage awareness of the downsides and the better alternatives that exist on #Bitcoin.

With what looks like the early beginnings of a bull market, users in places like LATAM, particularly in Argentina, where stablecoin usage is surging, should expect a similar spike in transaction failures and consider more architecturally sound chains like the Liquid Network.

In contrast to #Ethereum or Tron's account model, the Liquid Network, a Bitcoin layer-2, opts for Bitcoin's UTXO model. This enables an "all-or-nothing" transaction, avoiding the possibility of losing funds when sending a payment.

Liquid's fees are competitive with the aforementioned account-based models and stay reliably low. There is also the added feature of confidentiality (no one can see asset type or amount).

https://blog.liquid.net/guide-to-confidential-transactions/

Our CPO Jeff Booetz, recently detailed the tradeoffs between the UTXO and account models in an op-ed. The latter's lack of transaction reliability is only one example of the many downsides: it's also much harder to scale, less secure, and less private. Highly recommended:

I've now added a simple setup that creates the rpc_config.json and installs dependancies. I also made the scripts more robust (they ask for specific input and output more information for you now. There is more error handling.) 🚀 nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n

1. The dollar/treasury reserve system has allowed the US/fed to treat the entire world as a monolithic tax colony.

2. The military industrial complex, at the direction/signoff of the US/fed, has conducted perpetual war for 100+ years to maintain this privilege. All US-involved wars since WWII have been an expression of this.

3. The BRICS nations have finally established the critical mass needed to defect away from the dollar/treasury system. That will be a treaturous journey, but they seem committed to begin it and indeed much of the work to set sail has occurred.

4. The Ukraine conflict is actually the West asserting it's dominion over Russia to remain within the Western tax colony.

5. The Israel conflict is actually the West asserting it's dominion over the Middle East (Iran, Saudis, etc) to remain within the Western tax colony.

6. Indeed Israel looks alot like it was setup to host the international banker's headquarters within their envisioned #GreatReset globalist state where multiculturalism erases all cultures except their own hypernatiolist elitism. Endless postmodern progressivism for thee, robust ethnic nationalism for me.

All wars are banker's wars.

Ps3 online is free. Should've just kept your old console 😭


No I haven't but ps3 servers are still up bud 😉


Nothing compares to H3 multiplayer. Especially at launch. I forged in high ground for like a whole day after launch. It was incredible.


Building more stuff. Just a repo of simple python scripts to interact with an elements node with RPC Credentials
Very basic, but maybe it'll help someone else.

I would love to play some games. You have to make sure you download all the maps and content for multiplayer though. It will take some time.

Oh I thought you said finding. Yes filming. Thanks for the compliments. I was rather proud of that one. It's the only video I've ever really scripted like that.


That's my video 🤣 but no not really. I don't see a need. MCC offers all the Halo I could ever want. I have no interest in playing a microtransactiom ridden game with so many inherent design flaws and a botched launch. 343 don't deserve any of my time or money for what they released. I vote with my wallet and no I don't do games pass. I own all the games I can and don't do subscription services. I'm sure some bugs have gotten better and I'm sure it more polished. But it's the principal of the matter at this point.

Restart and it's all good for a week or so. Then after about a week of uptime, I've got nearly all RAM taken by System and stuff stops working reliably.


21k sats for each function you can get working:

SimpleX is based around queues. Instead of pushing everything to a relay and have it stay there forever, you push messages into a queue that eventually gets consumed by the person you’re sending the messages to. They exist on the relay temporarily and they are encrypted. Cool part is that there are no long-term “addresses” or “pubkeys” to send the message to, so spam is much harder.

I think nostr could learn a lot from this protocol, I believe we can use something like this to strengthen use cases on the nostr side. I am building a SimpleX rust library to learn the protocol further, and will be looking into how we can leverage it in our apps.

A guy sends me a polite email, and says in a couple paragraphs that 1) he doesn't really see any role for bitcoin in a portfolio, it has no intrinsic value, and it just trades on sentiment and also that 2) it threatens USD hegemony and so politicians are likely going to add friction to it.

So I'm like, well, if there's nothing particularly valuable about it to give it any value or consideration for a portfolio, why does it threaten USD hegemony? Like, it threatens the largest and most globally salable monetary network in the world while having no intrinsic value, no portfolio role, while just being a thing that trades on sentiment?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you don't want one single point of failure, you need multiple wallets, not multiple signatures. One multisig wallet is still a one point of failure.

You're much better off with a decoy wallet than a multisig solution. But you admire complexity. There's a famous quote about that in computer science.


You can't lose any of the keys. If you have a 2 of 3 multisig, you need 2 private keys and 3 public keys to sign the transaction. If you don't have backups of the seed phrase for all 3 keys, your funds are gone forever. You're literally arguing about shit you don't even know how it works. I'm so done with the convos man. Anyone else reading, dyor. Don't believe Dre, because if you just think you know what you're talking about and are so arrogant you can't be bothered to humble yourself and listen to what someone else has to say, you can lose access to all your wealth as a result of your own hubris.


Secondly I won't waste my time with how ridiculous your scenario is. Multi sig won't help.

It's not that I think multisig isn't a great technology or something that fortifies Bitcoin. But the truth is the vast majority of coins are lost to self rugging. That is a fact. I just want people to understand when it's necessary. Antonopolis explains it very well in the video I linked as well. Most people simply do not need it and have a misconception that it's inherently more secure when it's really not.


Core or lighting? Core is fine imo. The more core nodes the better. They don't really have to be performant . They just need to tick tock

My single key that doesn't even exist on an electronic device and has never been on one that's touched the internet. The single key that can only be constructed with the seed words etched in titanium and kept in my personal safe. That would be one hell of a security breach.


If you have a two of three multisig wallet you need two of three private keys and three of three public keys to move the fund If you do not have backups of your public keys then your funds are gone. Multi-Sig is not inherently more secure. You are just leaving more room for error yourself. There is no reason to use multi-sig if it is just funds for your individual use.


If you are making backups of multiple keys, why have multiple? The only reason to have multiple is if you need more than one party to have access to funds. If you are an individual. 1 person. It is much more secure to have one key. It's the whole entire ethos behind the master password (bip-44). If you are an individual, multisig is introducing complexity to access funds for no reason. It is inherently easier to secure one key than it is to secure multiple. That's not really debatable.


Gimmie gimmie


Stop thinking multisig is inherently more secure. It's not. This is very important to understand so people don't rug themselves. Self rugging is how the vast majority of coins are lost. #bitcoin
https://youtu.be/sjS5qF65Yos?si=Ln2p7IcvTpPjTCLO


Except for losing one of the keys... Seems like a single point to me.


Be Dre
Get $5 wrench attack on your multisig.
Lose access to one of your keys
Attacker cannot get your coins
But now neither can Dre
Don't be like Dre


It's harder to secure multiple keys than it is to secure one key. That is a fact. Stop misleading people with your lack of understanding.


Have fun rugging yourself by introducing unnecessary complexity to your cold storage solution.


If you lose just one key, you will lose access to your coins. This is not for individuals cold storage. I don't assume incompetency, I assume people make mistakes or forget things. Recommending multisig for individuals cold storage solutions shows your lack of understanding what multisig use case is actually for. If you would just listen to Anton in the video I linked maybe you will find some clarity.


I see you can no longer debate on the facts. I will let your reply speak for itself. They are serious points and your suggestions will lead people to lose coins.


Sorry bud but you are objectively wrong. I hope those reading can understand and learn from your misconception


Just because you have one key doesn't mean you have 1 point of failure You can keep a single key and multiple spots. multi-Sig arguably is the single point of failure are missing one of any of the keys You have failed


Multisig is for multiple people (institutions) or more complex, trust less 2nd layer protocols (lightning) it's inherently worse than a single key for the individual.


Why is multisig even a necessary solution?
It's not for 99% of people. What needs to stop is this convoluted  idea that more keys is more secure for individuals cold storage. It's not.

I’m not good at asking for help, but I am presently faced with a medical expense that I do not know how to pay at this point. I have been in constant pain for almost 20 years with bad teeth, and they have begun causing secondary health problems. Because of the structure of my teeth and bones, it will be a surgery to have them removed, and I’m liable to end up with holes where they were leading into my sinuses, etc. It’s doable, but it’s work for the surgeon, and they charge for that sort of thing.

The surgery looks like it will cost about $13,000, not counting the cost of dentures. Someone suggested I create a donation page on Nodeless, so here it is. There are countless people in worse situations, so I don’t really want to ask for anything. But if you feel like chipping a few sats to help out with this, every little bit helps.

#Bitcoin #RealWorldDecentralization

"When people normally refer to an “object” instantiated by ordinary software, they are applying abstract and symbolic meaning to transistor state changes inside a computer using machine code to convert them to machine readable bits of information. These “objects” do not physically exist; people have arbitrarily choosen to describe the complex emergent behavior of their computer programs using metaphors like “objects” (e.g. folder, trash can, cloud, string) to make it easier for other people to understand the intended functionality and design of their computer programs. In other words, there is no spoon. All that physically exists is the physically unrestricted and infinitely expanding state space of countless state machines plugged together. Countless transistors are added together on circuit boards, and the combined state of those transistors is what we abstract as so-called “objects.” But underneath the metaphor is nothing but people converting transistor state changes to bits of information using a new type of symbolically and syntactically complex language.

Physical cost function protocols (a.k.a. proof-of-work protocols) like Bitcoin work differently. When people describe the real-world physical cost of solving a physical cost function protocol as if it were a quantifiable object (e.g. a proof, receipt, stamp, coin, or token), they’re using abstraction to describe a real, meaningful, physically scarce, physically constrained, thermodynamically restricted, path-dependent, and irrevocable quantity of physical power drawn out of shared objective physical reality. Therefore, whereas ordinary computer programs can only present the illusion of physical cost, physical cost function protocols like Bitcoin produce real-world physical cost. Whereas ordinary computer programs can only present the illusion of scarcity and decentralization, Bitcoin produces real-world scarcity and decentralization. This is possible because the underlying physical state-changing mechanism (i.e. massive quantities of watts) being converted into bits is, itself, physically real, physically scarce, and physically decentralized. You know that bits of information created by large quantities of physical power are real, scarce, and decentralized because power itself is real, scarce, and decentralized."

-  Jason Lowery

This is one of my favorite quotes from the chapter where he completely dismantles proof-of-stake systems.


Training > Gear.

There are loads of dudes who buy and build tons of tactical shit and seriously do not know what to do with it.

A trained man can use very basic tools; he's more or less indifferent. He respects and appreciate good kit, but he doesn't geek out on it like a soy boy.

Stuff is tools.

For contingency stuff, I train on a single rifle (knights armament sr15) and a single pistol (glock 17). For concealed carry, I train on a single setup (sig p365xl).

Don't get caught "collecting gear" and virtue signalling online to the bros. The function is all that matters, and the tools just enable the function.

Spend as much money and time as you do on training as you do on acquiring kit. We are leaving the "oh no civil unrest I might get a home invasion" phase and entering the "local governance is undone we are a sitting duck" phase.

I haven't "given up" lol
I just know people don't want to manage channels and liquidity to spend money and I know it's not free or cheap when you obfuscate it to the end user to make it easier to onboard.  We will find a way but if you want to be serious about self custody cheap Bitcoin txs for normies Lightning won't achieve that without the requirement to run a node yourself. I'm critical because I care, not because I've "given up". I make the comment specifically because I won't ever give up on bringing Bitcoin to the masses.


What a terrible ux. Self custody lightning will never work for the masses. You can try to do all the stuff on the backend but the architecture of the protocol itself just fundamentally will never be usable as a self custody solution by the common man. People are not going to do this.

Be careful fantasizing about or wishing for utopias. Every perfect vision of the world has trade offs.

Example: caloric abundance was seen throughout most of human history as a type of heaven (milk and honey).

Yet modern humans live in caloric abundance and suffer just as much as those living in a caloric deficit.

Humans won’t allow utopia. We’re not built for it. We’re built to suffer.


Fiat money is just an exploit:

It's arbitrage between the security & immutability of physical gold, & the insecurity and reversibility of it's virtual replacements.

#Bitcoin is simply a technological solution to end the massive, destructive, wasteful political industry and rent seeking structure that has been globally constructed around this arbitrage.

Disagree. Pumps get normies to notice. It's their first step down the rabbit hole. Bitcoin is inevitable. I'm not worried about the cronies. Bitcoin already works. The incentives are already fixed.

But that's possible. It's not possible to avoid these fees unless you have massive liquidity and are well connected. Embedded nodes will never achieve that. Lightning is great but we need something else for self custody instant payments with Bitcoin. Ark maybe? Idk. But lightning won't be it. Lightning is a fantastic institutional tool. It will never be the layer normies use to buy coffee unless it's custodied by a well connected node with lots of liquidity.


This is why I keep saying self custody lightning will never be the norm.... IDC how much innovation there is.

Not sure if opinions can be correct but here's a hot take. Lightning is inherently too complicated for the average person to self custody and thus an inherently centralizing force for liquidity on lightning network. It might not be a huge issue but if we want fast and cheap micropayments for the masses that is easy to self custody, lightning isn't it. It requires that you run a node to self custody. Even with lsps and the great work Zeus and Mutiny are doing, it still presents a barrier to entry that is too large a gap for a normal person to deal with when wanting to just make a payment with an app. Idk if ark can offer a better solution, and I'm not worried about the future of fast and cheap payment with Bitcoin. Life uh... Finds a way. I just don't think the whole world or even a significant portion of it will run on lightning.


You want a social hot take or a technical one?

You can call a json a message if you want, but data is a more accurate statement. Also, it doesn't have to be short...


No... Everything goes to zero against BTC. You're not understanding the inverse relationship. If Bitcoin gains value, measured in USD, then you can't get as many sats for 1 dollar as you previously could. If Bitcoin is at 25k you can get 4k sats for a dollar. As Bitcoin increases in value the amount of sats you can get for a dollar decreases. Because the dollar won't buy as many sats.


BTC go up, sats per dollar go down ... if I can get more sats for a dollar, BTC is losing value. I'm saying that's not the case.


I gotta say, I think the days where you can get 4k sats for a dollar are gone for good.

It's okay if people aren't using your app all the time. nostr will still be here when they need it. If user retention on nostr is ever close to where traditional social media is now, I will consider it to have been centralized and failed. The only way you addict people to app like they have is if content curation becomes centralized through very few algorithms.

Likelyhood that governments will try to censor speech to retain their power? High...


If you still find yourself with wondering if #nostr will "make it" I got some news for you. It's not going anywhere. Even if adoption is slow, it can't really be shut down. So when someone checks it out but they don't become a daily active user, it's not as of they'll never come back. Nostr will be here when they need it.


A monopoly in money creation is a more terrifying weapon than Sauron's Master Ring.

You know what really limits a woman's freedom? No responsibilities outside of her career life. A life with no responsibility is void of freedom. Structure is freedom. Going through life without something meaningful to care for it just a road to depression and slavery to the physical world.


It's inflation, not overpopulation, that pushes housing out of reach.

#Malthusianism is scapegoat for money printing. Depopulation is merely the final step of total and absolute debasement.


Maybe the best explanation to onboard new people to #nostr is to just tell them it's a new way to use the Internet and when you use the Internet with it, your interactions can't be censored or stopped by anyone. #grownostr

After several months of gathering feedback and additional testing, Greenlight is now officially available for commercial-grade use worldwide.

Greenlight is a Lightning-as-a-Service (LaaS) solution that offloads the complexities of operating a Lightning node to Blockstream experts while keeping keys in the user's control for greater security.

https://image.nostr.build/e530aac4e34748b7c5c22527b691e8ec289cd572cc8edd985f4d99f2827bd511.png

For Lightning developers, this not only reduces the risk and liability of holding user funds but frees up resources that would otherwise go to node operations—so that you can focus on your business and create the best app possible.

In the spirit of #Bitcoin and to encourage the growth of the non-custodial Lightning options, we are offering a free #Greenlight plan designed to empower small businesses. The plan allows developers to deploy up to 1,000 on-demand nodes.

For enterprises with higher volumes, we offer custom pricing plans that expand the node limits and provide uptime and availability guarantees.

Learn more by accessing the all-new Greenlight Developer Console, which helps run your day-to-day operations 👇

We all fall short


Yes exactly. I also have a limit my liquid wallet to 5 million sats at the moment. There is a degree of trust with a federation. The chances of a rug happening is extraordinarily low. A super majority of the liquid federation would have to conspire and there's no incentive to do so as it would ultimately just break the peg and send liquid to the grave. But the tradeoff I get is having access to 5 million sats that can be moved for a fraction of what main net costs at 10x the speed, that I can self custody without running a node, requires my 2FA and has confidetial txns. Lots of benefits to that trust tradeoff...

When main net fees shot up for ordinals it affected me none at all. I had 5 million sats on hand I could move around for hundreds of sats.


I go out of cash app with lightning. I run a lightning node but tbh it's too much work to manage channels and liquidity, it's slow and inconsistent to make successful payments. Do I use alby primarily. But that's custodial. So I only keep 500k there. So what do I do when the balance goes over that when I go out of cash app via lightning? I use atomic swaps to put it in liquid. Where the sats stay in purgetory, self custodied with my same 12 words as my normal hot wallet except my liquid requires 2FA to make a tx. It's a better security model. My cold storage is if course main net. There is no wallet. Those 12/24 words only exist on a steel plate in my safe. When my liquid wallet holds more than a certain amount, I peg put to cold storage where they will sit until I give some of those UTXOs to my children. Liquid offers a reasonable degree of privacy through all this as well.


Check out nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 while You're at it to get the full effect. Green wallet is also great and Jade HW wallet is one of the best and also supports liquid. 🤙


1. Privacy
2. 2FA to move funds
3. Cheap fees to top up my lightning when Mainnet fees get expensive. Really just cheaper and faster overall to move Bitcoin around that I can self custody without a requirement to run a node (lightning)


I use liquid weekly...


Except for their custodian...


Don't really have any major concerns. More so just skeptical of new stuff. I'm not discrediting entirely, I'm just waiting to see more.


I can't believe how good the game theory of Bitcoin is. Amazes me everyday.

The block size
The supply cap
The difficulty adjustment (absolute genius)
The ~10min block intervals
The fee market
The private/public keys
The UTXO set
The p2p network
The adversarial and anti-fragile nature of it all

Just incredible foresight. Never seen anything like it before.


Just building random stuff in my free time. I really want to work on my game more but I really just like learning to code all sorts of stuff. I'd like to do more with satworth in the future. Check my GitHub for a few things.


Fedimint is very promising tech. I personally love ecash and cashu nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg as well

Omg. Brother. Utilize liquid and lightning for privacy. nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970


Hell yea. As a former swan customer, set it and forget it, auto dca and withdraw are great. But instant cash to self custody is huge benefit for me. And with boltz I swap between layers for privacy. It's all so quick.


I was a swan customer. I thought about switching to River while they changed custodians but bought from cash app in the mean time. I think I'm just going to stay with cash app now. They have lightning support and when I buy it's instant settled. Which means instant from purchase to lightning self custody. I can't get to self custody faster anywhere else.


You saying swan is noise?


Are Swan or Cory even on #nostr yet? Does Cory want to win the race to avoid the war or what? Pacific #Bitcoin is happening right now, but I haven't seen nearly any talk of it around nostr. Why is that?


YouTube is older than all of my wife's highschool students.

si vis pacem para bellum


I believe I recall Adam Back discussing some sort of Roll Ups as well but I can't remember the context. I guess that's my point with L1 and 2 scaling. Bitcoin is dynamic. L1 will scale dynamically, L2 as well. L1 scaled with Segwit. Lightning is scaling with embeded mobile nodes. Who knows, maybe lightning can onboard easily and self custodially with enough work (I don't think so because it requires channel management and again, this is my biggest critique of lightning). All this makes me excited for other solutions being proposed. Bitvm being one of the newest but also things like ARK.  But to say Mainnet and Lightning "can't" scale in certain ways lacks an understanding that these protocols are actively changingand being worked on daily to do just that. These things will scale naturally as demand presents itself. Before 2016, exchanges didn't batch utxos. Now they do. Before last year, they didn't use lightning. Now they do. That's L1 and L2 scaling in response to natural free market incentives.


I don't oppose bitvm entirely. I'm very wary of it's actual utility. Same with the other proposed solutions. A free market of ideas will find the best solution either way. For this, I'm eternally grateful and not too worried for the inevitability.


Oh Mark Williams yea. He's been such a blessing to my family. He helped me turn $10 into 5 whole Bitcoins in just a few months. You should try him out too!


No Bitcoiner talks about leveraging and trading with a custodian. lol

And who tf just gets money from people to give them back 30x? Ridiculous.


Complete fake bullshit on the Bitcoin Country Pacific Bitcoin Video. https://m.primal.net/HNJS.png


L2 is just beginning. I agree that Lightning is not easy to onboard the average person.  My biggest criticism of Lightning is a requirement to run a node to self custody. Perhaps ARK can solve this. Liquid is also a scaling and feature solution although with a more specific use case. L2 and L3 are in infancy. eCash arguably scales users. We will get there. And I'm not sure Bitvm actually adds anything meaningful. It's early and I very well may be wrong but off the bat, bitvm seems like vaporware to me. Blockchains are not good databases. This is one of the main criticism of the EVM. That, and we don't need a different currency with a dynamic centralized monetary policy.


Also, Bitcoin and Lightning already scale 🤷🏻


Don't need bitvm to achieve roll ups on L1

idk man, America is pretty unique. I don't really care too much if others shit on USA. We def have problems, the fed, wb, imf... most evil institutions are here, but we also have 1 and 2 A... and no one else does... So I will stay and fight for the rights I do have here, until it is too dangerous for my family at least. I care, until my childrens lives are directly at risk of violence by the state. Any country that does that IS a shithole and I want no part of it.


shill me some good #nostr t-shirts. #grownostr


Did you just flash them? There is an extensive tuning process that has to run first and that could be why.


Oh I have antminers so idk 🫠 I know mine are at 100% for about the first 30 seconds to a minute after boot before they dail down. I think the controller just hasn't been addressed first on boot and so they spin up to 100 to prevent any damage if things might be hot.
