the article says they were held in self custodial wallets!
the reason the freezer works, I believe, is because its not permissionless, aka Tether the institution can stop any outgoing transactions, deeming the coins worthless. but they are in self custodial wallets nonetheless

similar for me. I don't know for sure either, maybe a back and forth i had about bitcoin privacy and Monero, but i have a feeling it was mostly bot accounts that followed

2023-10-27 14:31:29

- reply

Ok thanks. My framework is the following. I want to destroy the Fiat cabal. Although I like the privacy of Monero, i have come to the realisation that only Bitcoin stands a chance of achieving this, so my efforts are best suited to making bitcoin as ready to fight the cabal as possible. For that, I believe bitcoin will need more privacy, and more scalability. The original comment I made was a proposal to make privacy by default (by making PSBT-enabled collaborative transactions as the default).
So now you see why i don't think the solution is to just use Monero instead. My goal is to build on bitcoin so that it's ready for the fight when it comes.
Lightning: yeah I know about the security concerns, and also that they are being worked on for continual improvement. The way forward is to sharpen this tool, in my opinion. And I never said it was already perfectly scalable, but it can operate at a scale much higher than current capacity

2023-10-25 18:27:17

- reply

dude you are all over the place... what is your goal in engaging in this conversation?
I was discussing some positive moves that bitcoin could do to improve privacy by default, that people would need to opt-out of. Then another Nostrich said why not use Monero instead. I said why i believe only Bitcoin can stand a chance at fighting the Central Bank cabals. that was a conversation of good faith. not sure what your goal is here?
You talk about conflation that didn't happen in the first place...
now you move the goalposts by saying Lightning cannot scale because it is not adopted??
By your own yardstick:
Monero: according to market data, I see for the last few years there are consistently around 20k transactions a day.
Lightning: impossible to measure since 2 nodes can transact via a channel and it's not easy to transcribe how many transactions have occurred. River did a research with a few major routing nodes and came out at 6 million transactions in 1 month. That's roughly 200k a day.
So what is the F is the point of saying Lightning won't scale, use Monero instead, when the known numbers for lightning alone (plus the millions other txs that cannot be accounted for) indicate a much higher level of adoption than Monero...

I'm glad you use lightning. I agree securety needs working on. there are solutions now where the signing device/keys are separate from the node. I agree it's not perfect yet, but it's being worked on.
yes Monero exists, but you still do need layers like lightning and liquid. I'm not convinced Monero alone could deliver the scale that Bitcoin plus lightning/liquid do deliver.
I think it's been very long since Haveno started. 2020 I think, and still it's not up and running (as far as i know). My point is that it's simplistic to say "all these things being built by and for Bitcoin can simply be adopted by other protocol coins." . It matters that they are being built with bitcoin only in mind. no need to have security trade-offs to support multiple coins. On the other hand, enhancements tested in Litecoin (taproot/segwit or whichever it was) can then be implemented in bitcoin with enough testing. bitcoin is in no rush to innovate at the base layer, and that's a feature not a bug.
anyways, I have much love for Monero and privacy! you'll see my original post was promoting privacy by default!

"liquid = redundant and LN = attackable"
can I ask you, is your problem with current iterations of those, what they will realistically be, or is your problem with non-layer-one solutions in general?
2nd point: "coin agnostic" yes those could be built on another coin, but is that fact that everyone is choosing to build on bitcoin, irrelevant, or at least dismissed by "it's coin agnostic"?
Don't you think it's worth analysing why it's all being built on bitcoin? how long ago has Haveno been designed for? has it gone off the ground? or is everyone on Bisq? see it's not that simple as saying something is coin agnostic

I like Monero
-decent privacy by default
-(i believe) favours hashing from home miners (Vs huge data centers)
but its not gonna make it
-tail emissions
-only bitcoin can really stand to fight against the fiat standard and all of its defenders.
-bitcoin has a crazy starting advantage over anything (security/decentralisation/adoption)
-look at what's being built on bitcoin Vs crypto
--liquid
--lightning
--nostr
--btcpayserver/nodeless/zaprite/Oshi/IbexPay
--coinjoyn/payJoin
--i am sure I missed a few
I think it's easier and better to just make collaborative transactions (joining via PSBTs) instead of giving up all the bitcoin advantage to go to Monero

surely the path forward is making coinjoin/payJoin so good that everyone is forced to use them!
just like Uber was too quick with their customer adoption for the taxi cabals to kill it off, we need payJoin to be the default option for all transactions.
If its memory (and therefore fee) efficient to have 1 transaction with 50 inputs and 100 outputs (compared to 50 transactions of 1in-2out each), then let's enable PSBT and collaborative transactions as the default on every wallet.
users will need to opt out, and pay more for doing so

I think it should be up to the client. For example you have the option to switch between Hot and Top, right? You should also be able to switch the ranking between votes and zaps.
Essentially the client could support:
-hot with votes
-hot with zaps
-top (day/week/etc) with votes
-top (day/week/wtc) with zaps
Then it's up to the client/market to know which ranking is more used/popular, whilst supporting both, and it's up to the user to use whichever they think is best for them..

Good morning Mr Odell!!
I have a topic request if possible, not sure I can do it in the live chat!
Utxo/fee management.
We need the ability to have multiple people opening multiple LN channels from external wallets. So far I have only seen Satbase/BalanceOfSatoshi.
There you can batch but it's only your channel openings. If you only want to open 1/2 channels, this batching has only saved 1-3 on-chain transactions. If multiple people (say 50) wanted to all open 1 channel each, then a service with multiple people partially signing would save close to 100 on-chain transactions.
Much love!!

Hi all! I'm hopefully buying an old HP 800g3 sff this weekend.
I'm not the best with CLI/SSH so I'm skeptical on only installing Debian SSH server. I'm looking at CasaOS to supplement that. My question is can (and more importantly, should) I install Bitcoin Core and CLN on the base Debian server install (try out SSH) , or should I custom install them as a docker in CasaOS?
PS: other things I'll have on my homelab will be Nextcloud, homeassistant, maybe file sharing (docs and photos, but not Plex/jellyfin)
Thank you

I'm thinking that Tor is:

- offline too often for my Lightning node
With that in mind, I'm looking for a cheap mini PC to load Linux server , or #NixOS. I want:
-NextCloud/Owncloud (Caldav cardav)
-Bitcoin Core node (no pruning)
-CLN
-BTCPay server
My question: what's the best value for money / minimum requirements that I'm looking at? I'm hoping to get a recycled mini PC that a corporation has no longer use for...

I cannot wait until Bisq v2 is up and running.
I'm surprised at the amount of people who don't spend and replace to nurture the bitcoin circular economy. With bisq2 (or robosats) it will be seemless to spend and replace. Spent this many sats? Buy them back instantly via lightning. No more huge trade sizes to account for on-chain fees.
Oh the sats you spent were at a discount because the merchant prefers bitcoin? Even better!

Only issue I have with lightning as a preparation tool is peers force closing channels.
Case in point in my lightning node, I have a few small channels and one main channel to Bitrefill.
Sometime in the low fee, cleared mempool state, unbeknownst to me, my main channel was closed. Now I have a few million in sats freed up to open a channel (impossible in this environment), and no liquidity in my remaining channels...

I have 2 (very) young kids and have the following requirement:
For each kid:
-I want to send them $1 in bitcoin a day. This will have the tag "allowance"
-for the allowance incoming transaction, I want half to be spendable (no restrictions on my side), and half to be forced savings (either time locked 1yr, or maybe 2of2 multisig for 1yr)
-any other "utxo" to their address is also unrestricted
- assuming that this all happens in lightning, then once they have around $200 balance, half gets transferred to cold storage, they still see the amount, but it clearly shows its read only until it is transferred back into this hot wallet.
I think maybe LN Bits could do something like this, but it would need to be developed. Maybe fedimint?
