Cove defaults to going to the last used wallet, this might be user preference but I think for most people going to the last used wallet makes sense. But if more people give me this feedback I can make it an option to always go to a home page.
Thanks, will fix the loading animation glitch.

I need to get my hands on a Bitkey to test with them. I’m not sure how they work with wallets.
I thought they were tightly coupled with their own app.

Yup i’m using sparrow on desktop, you can even import the labels from sparrow by scanning a QR code.
No lighting, trying to keep things very simple with this wallet. Main chain only.

Why is bitcoin core taking so long to sync on RPI4 when the CPU usage is only 40%, and RAM is fine, and disk is not bottlenecked?

We should have a good nostr tracker and indexer.

While funding for open source in the bitcoin ecosystem is important, too much funding from the wrong sources can actually bad.
1. It can disrupt market dynamics and incentives
When projects receive large amounts of outside funding, it can mess with the natural market signals that guide development.
Instead of being driven to work on features and improvements that users and the market demand, developers may be swayed by the priorities and judgment of the funding sources.
2. It can lead to centralized control
Significant funding often flows through centralized organizations that then choose how to allocate the money.
This gives those organizations outsized influence over the direction of the project.
In Bitcoin, this enables organizations like OpenSats, HRF and others to act as “kingmakers” in the development space.
3. No one spends other people’s money as carefully
When spending money that was simply donated rather than earned from real customers, there is less accountability and efficiency.
Like government spending, the incentives for careful capital allocation are lacking. If developers couldn’t monetize their own work directly, maybe that work isn’t as valuable as they believe.
4. It can foster an entitled “welfare” mentality
Relying on charity from others instead of finding ways to independently earn a living can create an unhealthy dynamic.
To be clear, open source funding isn’t bad per se.
Funding that comes from those who directly benefit from the work, or from developers investing in themselves, aligns incentives well.
But when it morphs into an expectation of charity from third parties to subsidize developers as a public good, it veers into “socialist” territory.
Open source is a sacred cow in Bitcoin that deserves more scrutiny. Funding can be good, but we should be wary of over-funding or funding from sources with misaligned incentives.
In the long run, the open source projects that deliver the most value will find ways to sustain themselves through the voluntary choices of their users, not through guilt-driven handouts.

Reminder that LND (and therefore your umbrel node) uses Aezeed not BIP39.

I’ve started a rust implementation of the cache. Looking forward to the NIP.

2023-11-08 05:59:10

Is there any alternative implementations of the primal caching service yet? @npub12vk…pugg

2023-11-07 15:08:00

Thinking this through a bit more I'm seeing two possibilities.
1. Full torrent client + discovery. Will index and use nostr events to discover torrents. Will use nostr evens as a tracker to find and connect to new peers. Will handle downloading/uploading etc.
2. Nostr bridge, will act as a tracker following the existing protocol. But will get the information from nostr events. Existing clients will be able to connect to it as a normal tracker. Would still need a UI for discovery. (simpler) #note1fy3…dlc5

2023-11-07 04:32:59

Is anyone working on a torrent client where nostr relays are the trackers?

Someone should fork https://github.com/radicle-dev
And replace the web3 shit with nostr.
Use nostr for all collaboration elements (issues, discussions,docs, PRs). Be super flexible with storage and use nostr to communicate where storage currently is.
