Last Notes npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Drivechains can capture the value of use cases where Bitcoin currently gets outcompeted (privacy, low fee transactions, smart contracts, DAOs, prediction markets, etc) while keeping L1 the same. All that value already left Bitcoin in the form of altcoins, developers HAD to make a separate coin because Bitcoin couldn't do what they wanted. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Bitcoin's final holy war wasn't block size, it wasn't segwit, and it wasn't BIP110, but it will be the eCash fork. The weapon of choice? Hashpower. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I would be willing to go back to paying ten cents per SMS if it meant Nancy Pelosi stopped texting me. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Psyched to listen to this new track been needing new stuff from the worlds greatest journalist npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 If liberals want to win the political long game in the west, they really need to start worrying about declining birth rate the same way conservatives do. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 It's wild that in the year of our Lord, 2026, the most reliable way to convert something to a PDF is to trick your computer into thinking you are about to print it npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 #Bitcoin is supposed to be freedom money. And it is. But the tool most enhancing peoples freedom to associate, make decisions, and govern to come out of "crypto" isn't the money, it's the DAO. Other networks have had this for 10 years and Bitcoin still doesn't. DAOs are a deeply simple concept and many BIPs have been proposed which could enable them. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Fiatjaf is the only nostr dev who seems to know anything about this. You'd think a fork like this would be big news. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Nostr's founder supports a controversial Bitcoin fork and it's not BIP110. You owe it to yourself to understand why if you care about #bitcoin Ecash.com, drivechain.info npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 There isn't enough UTXO space on Bitcoin to give everyone on earth a lightning channel even if we used all the block space for the next 50 years, everyone got one channel, and channels never needed to close. Similar layering platforms have "unliateral exit" but that's meaningless if there's no space to exit TO. For more technical info see https://drivechain.info/ npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 What are your thoughts on the Bitcoin fork this week (ecash.com) #asknostr npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 In less than three days what may be the most consequential #Bitcoin fork ever is happening, and every Bitcoin influencer you know is too afraid to talk about it because it points out real scalability issues with BTC. Lightning won't scale to six billion people, eCash can. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 There are some very stubborn and relatively easy to fix UX issues, a lot of progress has been made but nostr is far from user friendly npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Creator of nostr thinks drivechains are a good idea. So why is nobody in the bitcoin space talking about this upcoming fork? eCash.com npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 A lot of them left BTC during major splits because it's impossible to upgrade the base protocol. eCash/drivechains will solve this without changing the base protocol. No more holy wars, no more forks, no more getting outcompeted by other chains. Bitcoin will again be a place optimistic enthusiastic developers can contribute to. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Thank you! npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Has anyone tested specifically whether or not cash app can scan a QR code for a lightning invoice generated by Zeus? npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Make useful apps that are intuitive and work on the first try and do something useful and don't say the word nostr, decentralized, or Bitcoin anywhere in the intro. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 FUCKING LEGEND JACK npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 You should ask your favorite #bitcoin podcasters why they are too chickenshit to cover the eCash fork coming up this month eCash.com npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Btcpay server, bitcart npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Never forget the impact a small wrench in the machine can cause npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 To never include it, they'd have to be economically irrational since they're also deciding not to collect the fees, not just from your transaction, but from ALL the transactions since their version of the transfer block won't be voted on favorably by other miners. They will also lose all the miners who are mining to their pools since that means less revenue for those miners. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying can you explain with an example? npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 With drivechains, miners vote to allow coins to move to and from a sidechain, same people you trust to produce blocks and run the network. There's no small federation like liquid, it's all the miners just like regular mining. If you can't trust miners to be honest/economically rational, the whole Bitcoin model falls apart anyways. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 BOINC.berkeley.edu donate the compute power to scientific research npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Drivechains (eCash/BIP300) will unlock a major surface for development of Bitcoin as a technology both in terms of scaling and capability while retaining the 21M coin cap and keeping the existing chain exactly as it is. Why should you be excited about it? npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Simplex is great but doesn't use nostr npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 It would be helpful to know what kind of hardware you have or spend you'd be willing to do, because that changes the answer a lot. Hopefully someone else has some good suggestions, I'm not personally that up on the options. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 #nevent1q…6lwy npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 It will work fine, the initial sync will just take a looooong time npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Haven't used it with robosats specifically but Zeus is a great lightning wallet that doesn't use spark npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 October. I'm quite excited about it, drivechains offer the ability to test new consensus rules without requiring a holy war to get 70% of the network to agree at once. Each user decides which sidechain, if any, they want their coins on. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Closest I've found is yED. It's... fine. Not a nostr app but is open source/free. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Wait y'all use nostr outside of the bathroom??? npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Every day I become more convinced that we are winning. Inflation continues to run rampant, the bond rate just hit 5% and they are once again engaged in "quantitative easing". They tell us it isn't a recession and inflation is only 3%. But everyone knows they are lying. The emperor is naked. The #CLARITY Act didn't pass because these MFs are terrified. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Thank you for your service! npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Checking in 🫡 npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 #nevent1q…5px4 npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Must kick to show dominance npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Routstr and petals are both worth looking into npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 This is the way npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Yes but if you consider that old content is generally still hosted by people who wrote it or recently consumed it, it's fine.

Women initiate 70% of divorces and the majority of breakups. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Algorithmic justice legislation is censorship and government control of speech. Disappointed fftf would support this. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Your monitor also has a DisplayPort, that can give you better resolution, refresh rate, etc. really only matters for gaming.

Men are "afraid" of that specific type of commitment but with very good reasons. Afraid isn't even the word I'd use there, it's usually used to describe a fear beyond rationality. Often when they meet the "right woman", there is no "fear of committment" whatsoever. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 It is an incredible marketing failure that Bitcoin does not dominate this use case. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I usually hear the phrase "fear of committment" from women describing men. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 We need drivechains like yesterday. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 For convenience and conversion to fiat?

Drivechains enable every other chain concept (monero, eth, Litecoin, etc) to be built on top of BTC and have the fees from those side chains go to BTC miners.

Unfortunately I know Bitcoin doesn't support the programmability you need for it, which is a shame. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 So we can clear this up, simplex is this you? Is this not developed on some non-BTC platform like ETH? My bad for confusing this with your current fundraising round, but the general point still stands if my understanding is correct. https://simplex.chat/credits/ npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Also I just read your IPFS criticisms after discovering you are one of the few devs on here who sees the potential of drivechains. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Web of trust would work if more clients implemented it, but afaict very few actually do. Same with PoW. Many clients let you add PoW to a note but don't automatically filter out non-PoW notes nor do they compute a "lifetime PoW" score for other users which would be much more useful than just the PoW from a single note. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 The fundraising ability, but being able to fundraise the way they wanted to required a higher level of programmability than Bitcoin offered npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Simplex had to use a shitcoin for their decentralized governance/fundraising because of Bitcoins limited program ability. Drivechains would have prevented them and most of the entire altcoin ecosystem from leaving BTC. BTC could have underpinned it all. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 MoE can't happen with just L1 and lightning. We need drivechains or something else. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I don't think so, but you can also access the electrum swap market on whales.exchange npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 If you are an #amethyst user and not getting notifications in your notification area and wondering why, check what the top of the feed says. If it says follows, it only shows you notifications from people you follow. Set to global to see the rest. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Not sure if Zeus swaps are online right now, but Electrum ones are! npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Aah I see thank you for explaining that. I think we already face this risk with things like liquid, wrapped BTC, etc. but maybe it would feel different w drivechains because those would be part of the core L1, not added on top. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I'm not sure I understand this point can you explain it more? npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Well the current peg-out arbiters are centralized exchanges, DEXes, and other systems. The value flows from BTC to other places where you can use your money in other ways. None of those systems are contributing much if anything to BTCs security budget. In drivechains, they would. All of the market cap and fees from Ethereum, monero, and other BTC competitors could be contained in the BTC ecosystem. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Miners provide security for L1 and that's important. It's important the security budget stays high enough to incentivize them. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Both. Coordination is so difficult, we have no good voting mechanism aside from "core merged the pr" (terrible), hashrate, and UASF (unpredictable, dangerous). And also nobody wants to "try something new" on a monetary network storing the world's savings. But eventually we have to try new things or BTC will be outcompeted by chains that do. We can say "let other chains experiment, BTC will take the best features at the finish line and integrate them into BTC" but that hasn't been true for like a decade. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 The more I think about all the drama around bip110, the more I realize how much drivechains would have prevented it all. And the block size wars. Bitcoin was meant to be forkable so people could experiment with new ideas, but once it grew that became impossible. Convincing half the network and core to try new ideas is nearly impossible, even if those ideas are widely agreeable. It leads to inevitable holy wars. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Brutal but true. Bitcoin really needs to have the drivechain discussion. Or only banks will be able to afford an on-chain utxo, if it becomes the globally dominant currency at all. Because banks don't give AF if it's perfectly trust less, decentralized, and free. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 There isn't enough UTXO space for everyone in America to have a lightning channel, let alone the world. Channel factories help but nowhere near as much as is needed. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Looking forward to this article, been going through a similar transformation myself. Freedom is the goal 🚀
