> this changes the cost of a block withholding attack from 50/50 pool/attacker to >50% cost to the attacker
This is incorrect, but concise. The cost to block withhold attack a PPLNS pool is exactly in line with the hashrate used to make the attack. In other words if an attacker uses 100 TH/s in a block withholding attack, they cause themselves and the pool an equal amount of damage. All miners lose out on the potential rewards of those 100TH, but so does the attacker. Meanwhile, the pool continues to pay out rewards to the attacker as if that 100TH/s was mining honestly.
If the pool pays an extra 5% to the share that wins a block, now the block withholding attack costs the attacker 5% more and the victims 5% less.

Ecash lets the mint custody some value and issue a bearer asset IOU in exchange for the custodied value. It's digital free banking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_banking
The hard money value is custodied by the mint. The bearer asset ecash token is custodied by the user. I hope that is clear.
In my model the pool runs a mint. They are one and the same.

> The eHash tokens (1token = 1share) need to be redeemed first by the miners, before they can be traded.
No, that is the entire value proposition of eHash. Trade it before it matures.
> The tokens are probably locked to the miner's npub until he withdraws
Again, no. The miner submits a blinded message (random number) with each share. The mint returns a blind signature over the blinded message. The miner unblinds it to get a valid signature from the mint's private key that commits to a secret value that the mint has never seen before. In order to redeem the token, the miner or whoever they have traded with presents the unblinded secret + unblinded signature. The mint has never seen this value before but it knows with cryptographic assurances that it is a valid ecash token.

Ecash enables accountless mining pools. I think your mind is stuck in the account based model and this thinking leads you to false conclusions.
As @nprofile…6tzn said, pool redemptions decouple submitted work from redeemed value. The pool won't be able to link these two because eHash tokens can be freely traded before redemption. The value represented by a proof of work share can go through any number of splits, joins, and trades before it is redeemed. How do you disentangle that using IP tracking? You could try, but if there is any significant volume...good luck with that.
BOLT12 and on-chain addresses just add the account aspect back in. This is a strict reduction in privacy for the user. They can certainly choose this option if the pool offers it but in terms of privacy it is better to receive ecash mining rewards and spend it directly. This way all your activities occur within the anonymity set of the ecash mint.
The ecash model simplifies accounting because the pool no longer needs to track the work of every user that connects to it. Instead, the pool accounts for all shares within a time window and that's it. Instead of maintaining hundreds or thousands of accounts in perpetuity the pool manages one 'account' per hour with a prearranged start and end date. I prefer to think of them as contracts. When the contract end date approaches all the assets (mining shares) and liabilities (eHash tokens) of the contract can be zeroed out and removed from the books. The pool never needs to carry a balance for users that have not met their withdrawal threshold.
This is a dramatic simplification in accounting because it removes an entire class of liabilities that need to be tracked. The business owner no longer needs to be concerned with unredeemed shares.

> Does Mullvad have that tech to obscure traffic to bypass firewalls and censorship?
I'm not an expert but my understanding of the article is that Mullvad does not have this tech and Obscura does. Obscura is using Mullvad for exit nodes. To leverage the tech you need a subscription to both services.

Wow. Nice. Obscura is the private VPN service started by former bitcoin core developer Carl Dong. 🤙

What we should NOT do:

Maybe we should write software enabling anyone, anywhere to run a self-sovereign mining pool for their friends and family. At a minimum, this software should produce its own block templates.
Stretch goals:
- user provided block templates
- privacy for hashers
- private bitcoin payouts
- privacy for the pool operator
- block reward futures instrument
- provide an economic incentive to run a pool

PSA: If your derive macro uses secret keywords without documentation that cause unrelated cryptic compile errors elsewhere in the codebase...that's bad software engineering. Don't do that.

Thanks for the question Monkey Pox Denier! (😂)
We can have users share a lightning node but this brings in custodial risk. It all works fine as long as the lightning node runner is trustworthy. But when this trust is broken everyone using that node gets rugged.
One solution is to have users run a lightweight node that connects to this big shared node. This is essentially the Phoenix Wallet model. It's a good model but you give up a lot of privacy and still run into usability issues. You can't onboard people easily because they first need to set up a channel with inbound liquidity and that comes with a price. You send someone $10 and they only receive $4 after fees. Congrats, you just lost a potential new bitcoiner.
Furthermore, if the big node rugs, everyone now has to pay on-chain fees to close their channels and take their balance back. What happens if their balance is too small for an on-chain UTXO? They get rekt. They lose their balance either to the big node or to miner fees.
Faced with these limitations, people will just use Venmo because it's easier and cheaper. This is why I say we won't achieve mass adoption with this tech. We can't beat Venmo if the user experience has all these worts.
You can't go under the minimum on-chain UTXO threshold and maintain self-custody. Not even with lightning. Eventually you have to close the channel and that requires on-chain fees. If one on-chain transaction costs as much as a car or a house then it's not accessible for the majority of humanity.
In this scenario the end game is that most everyone will be corralled into custodial solutions. We will have swapped out one set of financial overlords for a different set. This is the scenario people like Jack are talking about when they say bitcoin would be a failure. I happen to agree.

I wouldn't rush to blame the mint without more info. Sounds like a lightning wallet setup issue.

2025-01-25 16:43:19

Yeah this sounds like a lightning node issue. Did you not have an existing lightning wallet?
Just FYI receiving small transactions to a new node with no channels is an expensive proposition. Your service provider probably has a minimum channel size and you are being charged for extra inbound liquidity.
Best practice is to fund a new lightning wallet with a large on-chain transaction. Then spend your balance down naturally or swap it out with a submarine swap. That way you have a large channel balance ready ahead of time with inbound liquidity. This lets you avoid paying high time preference fees.
Worst practice is to start with a small channel and have to increase the size of your channel each time you receive a payment. It sounds like you might be doing the latter. You might as well use Muun b/c you are transacting on chain for each LN payment. 😬

The thing to note in this screenshot is that the amount value of all proofs sums up to the value of the mining share, denoted in the following log message. In other words 16 + 8 + 2 == 26.
The mining share that my CPU miner generated had a work value of 26, which is to say that it had 26 leading 0 bits. This is a measure of how close this share was to a bitcoin block.
Previously, I only had a working proof of concept because I hadn't built the plumbing necessary to carry the full token set through the SRI codebase. Instead, I would throw away all but the smallest token. With today's code commit, Hashpool now generates a collection of ehash tokens exactly matching the value of the mining share submitted.

Nostr is small. Most of the good information exists in the larger networks. I would caution you against conflating the message and the messenger.

Nope, that's a different area of research. I plan to build this as part of my ecash mining pool project after I get the core functionality working. https://gist.github.com/callebtc/ed5228d1d8cbaade0104db5d1cf63939

I think a really good bullshit detector is the skill that will separate the wheat from the chaff in this new era of history. My bullshit detector goes off so hard when I see this nazi salute nonsense.
Every sovereign individual absolutely needs to be vigilant about shifting political winds and be ready to bounce when the winds shift too hard in the wrong direction, exactly as you said (🎯).
But watching the political tribes have conniption fits over soundbites and tiktok video clips is the noise. You must interpret the signal through the noise. This ain't it.

Thanks, Peter! I didn't know you were a rust dev. 🦀
I think you are referring to the SignedAmount type in bitcoin-rust: https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/blob/master/units/src/amount/signed.rs#L84
cdk defines it's own amount type: https://github.com/cashubtc/cdk/blob/main/crates/cashu/src/amount.rs#L32
This `Amount` is independent of the `CurrencyUnit` type so you can use it for bitcoin, stablecoins, beefbux or whatever. I'm using it to track difficulty of mining shares.
