It would probably be straightforward to allow Lightning nodes to compensate for this a bit

If you need a lightning open or close to confirm in the very next block, you're doing it wrong ;)

I hang out in circles of actual Lightning node runners and all of the new ones are using CLN, and I know several people who have switched from LND to CLN. I don't know anyone who has switched from CLN to LND.

What? You just pulled that out of your ass 😆

2025-01-23 14:39:13

From my experience CLN is much more popular than a year or two ago.
But sure, I'm open to being proven wrong on that, though I'm very skeptical given my first-hand knowledge.

So someone needs to argue convincingly that it won't, otherwise enabling CAT is epically dumb.

Wherever you want? It doesn't need to go into production, it just needs to be a credible proof-of-concept

By designing the most efficient AMM possible, and then proving that it isn't profitable.

2025-01-22 19:20:05

- reply

Most likely a majority still. But their share is rapidly diminishing as they fail to implement basic improvements like bolt12, splicing, etc. The smart users have discovered that CLN is better.

Hey @npub18am…p424 how do I get a cool purple check mark next to my name like you? I added my nip05 but I just have a boring gray check mark

So stop using mints that do this

2025-01-19 18:27:18

Why would a mint operating purely over Tor be required to do anything?

This begins the battle between the bitcoiners and the fiat bitcoiners.

2025-01-19 18:09:14

- reply

Yep 🎯

2025-01-19 18:06:26

- reply

Yeah but it makes no sense for a mint to censor transactions, as it cannot tell which token is which, as long as you don't use the same address as when you minted the token, or use Tor.

2025-01-19 18:02:41

Ahh I see what you mean. If I add the + emoji and delete all the others, then that allows a 1-tap like.

hmm zaps are broken on primal now too.. I wonder if the nwc relay isn't relaying my messages anymore? :/

I don't like custodial wallets :p

Oh awesome, thanks Derek!!
Hmm, for some reason the requests don't seem to be making it to my node..

2025-01-19 17:19:46

- reply

1) how?
2) I wouldn't hold more money in Monero than I'm willing to lose, either.

2025-01-19 17:18:39

- reply

it's about 3-4 clicks for me... tap to zap, then tap 2 times to confirm which wallet to open, then wait a few seconds to sync phoenix, then tap to actually send the payment. then hit back a bunch of times to get back into amethyst. it's like a 10x worse UX than primal. I like amethyst's push notifications though, and it seems to have better in-app notifications as well.

2025-01-19 17:16:21

- reply

I don't see a reason to keep more than you're willing to lose on any mint, anonymous or not.

2025-01-19 17:15:28

- reply

pretty sure there's a way to do the swap atomically, but maybe I'm misunderstanding

2025-01-19 17:14:02

- reply

Yep, doing Lightning plugin stuff, helping people run nodes, running meetups, the usual!
ftr I usually check in on Nostr every few months because every previous time it's sucked. this time was noticeably different.
how about you, what do you work on?

I'm down to join

2025-01-19 17:07:00

does amethyst have a way to link a wallet using nwc? I love primal's UX of one-tap zapping 🧡

OpenSats does great work, so I don't think it's appropriate to recommend a boycott.

you can exchange them atomically for bitcoin, which makes them cool

They're not if you operate them purely over Tor

why'd you think that? this time around Nostr sucks less than before.

2025-01-19 13:54:49

Of course. If you're not paying for the product, you *are* the product. As they say.

CLN on start9 with CLBOSS and Zeus works great and requires permission from precisely no one.

2025-01-18 23:19:15

Yes, the Cashu guys are doing great work! But ecash is no replacement for running your own node.

Now who's complaining about doing a little extra work? ;)

2025-01-18 23:17:19

Anyway you shouldn't be waiting for people to give you permission to use self-custodial wallets, that's precisely why they exist!

2025-01-18 23:14:24

Just sideload Phoenix, you don't need to use the pay store.

Ah darn. Ok no worries, Primal is actually working great just with CLN and the cln_nwc plugin 🔥

Right, but they can all just filter you out if they are colluding, right? Or at least, the paid ones that are popular because they filter spam? Presumably there are fewer of those, so it's more centralized? Maybe they even pool their blacklists?

2025-01-18 22:10:06

People don't ghost nearly as often on Twitter.
And the conversations aren't as interesting here.
For instance, I love talking about Lightning tech, covenants, running full nodes etc, but not much of that seems to go on here.
The conversations here seem more "cultural" and less nerdy.
Just my 2 sats.

Yes, fair enough, that is one advantage that Signal has.

2025-01-18 22:04:15

Okay, this doesn't really sound different from Twitter? The relay operator is arbitrarily deciding which accounts to whitelist, no?

2025-01-18 22:02:44

Yeah I used to have a nip5 when I worked at start9, should set one of those up again...

It will once there's enough traffic.
Bcashers say the same thing about bcash.

You're trusting Signal too, unless you compile their app from source.

2025-01-18 21:59:06

I don't know. I find moderation to be very useful, which is why I don't frequent, eg, 4chan.
With no restrictions often the bots, trolls, and scammers drown everything else out.

They're literally the same protocol.

Okay, how do you deal with impersonators here?

2025-01-18 21:53:14

I find interesting conversations to be of much higher value than the zaps I've received so far.

2025-01-18 21:51:46

- reply

Right, but Twitter is different because they can be sued. So it makes sense for them to disallow criminal or antisocial behavior. Anyway I certainly haven't noticed anyone I know being suspended or censored. But sure, something to be wary of.

Xpay is the new hotness on CLN. Fixes payments. But you have to configure it to intercept requests to the old payment plugin as it's not yet the default.
