Bitcoins don’t move, it is you that moves
Bitcoins don’t exist only UTXO
Bitcoin Addresses don’t exist, only hashed spending scripts
Bitcoins don’t travel on the lightning network, only secrets

My point is that rent is not fiat. It s a service. Converting to fiat is merely a payment rail in that case
I’m talking about people doing fiat to BTC to fiat as a store of value

When you sell Bitcoin for Fiat you sell freedom money for slavery money.
If you sell high it just means that freedom has a high price for you , but that it can still be bought
If you don’t sell at all, it means not one can buy your fredom

Like an ID system? I mean you could prove the ownership by sending the tx to the pool but you could never move it because it would never be mined

2024-03-14 13:10:47

What if ETFs were good for Lightning ?
It freezes BTC supply and moves fiat trading use cases off chain
It leaves on chain for P2P transactions and therefore lowers fees for opening channels ?

2024-03-14 07:22:56

- reply

No but
Phœnix is made by French people so there’s that 😇
Also it has splicing so the channel management is better
It has better network privacy (is it « blinded path »support?)
It has extremely high success ratio but it comes at a price : their fees are higher than I d like (but too low to make them profitable) and the node in your phone HAS to go through their node (and their fees) => would be nice if you could compare that very point across wallets

2024-03-13 08:37:26

- reply

But you are using Blocksteeam green light right ? So it means the node is in the cloud correct ? And the keys to the node is on the device ? Is that a different key than the on chain wallet on the app ? Does it means the wallet doesn’t need to be online to receive ?
Thanks

Opinion about Bitcoin and fiat exchange price: ETF price will always be lower than real Bitcoin’s. Because once the exchanges are drained, boomers holding ETF will never be able to get the real thing as there won’t be any to get or at least not at the price they imagine

the use of “is” instead of “are”: The subject “pineapple and jalapeño” is plural because it refers to two items. The correct verb agreement would be “are” (plural) instead of “is” (singular). A native speaker is more likely to use “are” in this context, although mistakes can occur.

Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 by Alberto Brandolini, an Italian programmer, that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. The law states:
The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
The rise of easy popularization of ideas through the internet has greatly increased the relevant examples, but the asymmetry principle itself has long been recognized.

@npub1a2c…w83a @npub1au2…t53j
So I have to confess that I did not anticipate the “fight you” phase playing out as it is. Let me unfold my thoughts on this:
I had expected coercive measures from the get go. Such as “must declare on taxes”, “illegal”, “KYC only exchanges” and so on
But what I think is unfolding is much smarter and darker. It’s a “buy out” strategy. Not even using government fiat money but using everyday regular Joe’s money. The ETF being the proxy tool. It’s based on the “everybody has a number” theory. Here’s how it goes:
Step0 - Very Weak Hands: let me give you 50K to 70K per Bitcoin. They sell. BTC goes into Coinbase and other such custodian
Step1 - Weak Hands: let me give you 100K per Bitcoin. They sell. BTC goes into Coinbase and other such custodian
Step2 - Medium Hands: let me give you 150K to 250K per Bitcoin. They sell. BTC goes into Coinbase and other such custodian
== at this stage I expect that 45 to 60% of all BTCs are either in custodian or in US corporate companies such as MSTR
Step3 – Strong Hands: let me give you 500K to 1000K per Bitcoin. They sell. BTC goes into Coinbase and other such custodian
Step4 – Very Strong Hands: let me give you “your number” per Bitcoin, even 10M if that’s what it take. They sell. BTC goes into Coinbase and other such custodian
== at this stage I expect that 75 to 85% of all BTCs are either in custodian or in US corporate companies such as MSTR
And along the way there will be:
- orchestrated rug pulls to create FOMO on the fiat splurge. It will be hard to resist for a long time… if you see BTC at 1M and then down at 200K and then back at 1M when do you not sell ? only the strongest Lions
- mandatory KYC/OFAC transactions. Meaning once enough coins are in US custodians they are either frozen to death or not moving unless its KYC
- at some point they might try to ban transactions outright
- they might decide to kill BTC via rug pull of the price or to keep it as a geostrategic advantage
So what could be left?
- Maybe some coins moving around between citadels and federations, but we’ll need to add zeroes to break down satoshis further in order to have enough flowing
- Maybe a fork with an OFAC one and a Rebel one
- You can’t kill an idea so maybe there’ll be a Bitcoin2 initiative
Truly I hope I’m wrong but this “buy out” possibility is terrifying

Hi @npub1zgc…exk2 I love what you are trying to do.
But your FAQ can be misconstrued as disingenuous at best if your approach is B2C.
"This is highly variable and depends on your hash rate and the network's total hash rate. It could take days, months, or even longer, and there's a chance you might never successfully mine a block." => a pleb with an S9 or S19 would take hundreds of years
"Is Solo Mining Profitable?
We make it profitable by giving our miners an option to sell their hashrate on various hashrate marketplaces." => that's not solo mining
My point: you do not need to write almost-deceptive marketing stuff like they would in the 1990s. You are doing something great, just own it and be upfront.
You provide a SOLUTION for a solo miner: because he can simultaneously earn for some his hashpower while doing gambling SOLO
Good luck

Unpopular question:
What portion of the Lightning roadmap (well BOLTs to be precise) is geared towards :
- A/features for professional lightning services providers
- B/features for plebs to connect to each other using LN but without using those professional service providers… aka building a really distributed peer to peer network ? Aka making lightning easier for the pleb
For some reason I have the feeling that it’s mostly moving towards A .

Correct we need to go back to the essence of commerce: « taste my cheese before you buy » used to be advertising way back when. Users were in control of their discovery : choosing which stall to stop at, what to taste (explore).
Brands will have to do the same in a peer to peer economy. Their ad dollars should be 10x more efficient instead of fighting a keyword race condition controlled by a third party like Google. Direct relationships will change everything

Very simple:
-Valuable data must be trustworthy
- we can do this by leveraging bitcoin immutable timechain
- we simple get a fingerprint of the data via hashing and we can collate millions of hashes into a few bytes using Merkel tree
- we inscribe this in the BTC timechain
And voila we have immutable proof that such data existed at that blockheight
If you have hashes of data files then the timechain would the secure database where to look it up
