Besides @Wizardsardine (Liana) Lightning Labs (TapAss) @TaprootWizards (NFTs)
Who else is doing something with taproot outside of just simple sends? I'm looking for something in production.

Here is a personalized Nostr recap of TABConf 6 here.
I really do believe we made another historical event as a top 20 bitcoin conference of all time. No price discussion. No political discussion besides a bit of freerossing. Big focus on tech and steps towards progress. We experimented with some really cool ideas that worked out this year which we will be expanding on next year. Some examples were an emphasis on hardware, rotating debate panels, and rapid explainer game show.
Really looking forward to having TABConf also have a minor focus on meshtastic and doing long range mesh networking. Perhaps we will even connect @npub1cst…gekj to @npub1the…4dha in the future.
The first ever TAB awards (Tabbies) happened this year. I think for a first pass it went pretty well.
Looking forward to having more Nostr involvement next year, perhaps people reading this may feel inclined to run a Nostr specific room or do an entire Nostr day at the same venue next year. Let me know if you want to plan this!
I believe TABConf is the only truly open source conference that is organized, and I hope we can keep expanding and improving the uX to make people feel comfortable getting involved.
We are selling tickets for next years conference already (Oct 13-16, 2025) mark your calendars. Tickets are all inclusive, there is no class of tickets and you aren't marked like cattle with an unremovable wristband.
Hope you consider coming out and building next year with us.
If you feel like you aren't technical enough, you are missing the point. There is something at @npub17yq…5269 for everyone.
https://m.primal.net/LmVi.mp4
Enjoy this video of me walking around talking to a few awesome people at TABConf 6 this year in the general hacker space.

I arrested @npub1ej4…ndrm on stage today at @npub17yq…5269. We got em' boys!
Got him on 35 counts of unlicensed RBF.

also note, you could flexible choose your security model and do 1/1 threshold with your own back up.. but then you still get the better uX of timeliness in case you need to migrate.

2024-10-22 03:49:12

- reply

the idea I pitched is using a threshold of signatures from whitelist group (including potentially some of your own backup keys), and then the new key is flexible and defined when needed.
this idea from @npub1l2v…ajft and ( you and @npub1az9…m8y8 are authors?)
this idea of y'all's doesn't require a web of trust or multsig threshold idea, you just lock in ahead of time a new key pair using ots timestamps as a source of truth to migrate away from a compromised account and used in case of migration attackers with earliest timestamp winning.
I think instead of relying on timestamps, it would be interesting to use real connections + backups as part of the recovery protocol where you have said "these threshold of keys can vouch for me" and then there is no time delay for the migration itself. it seems nip47 has a migration delay in case an attacker gets access to your account, you'd still need to wait or the time where people think your account is really you.
instead you can have better uX by punting the time delay of the change and using ots on the whitelist of the new threshold script. then if an attacker wants to change your script you can just migrate instantly to your new keypair of your choice and you don't need to lock in ahead of time.
let me know your thoughts. maybe I'll draft a nip or something if you think it's a good idea.

that pablo guy is likable, i’ll include him in my web of trust, which nip is it?

2024-10-21 17:15:34

- reply

web of trust solution would be interesting in combination of a master key rotation. Say, I have fiatjaf as one of my homies.. if I ever did a key rotation, I could presign early the method of which a valid key rotation could happen by requiring some signature threshold of trustees and other keys I may own to make this go from an absolute joke, into a relative joke. Bonus points for using a family relative.
The trustees wouldn't have access to initiate a key rotation, only verify the legitimacy of it. If the account in question and the threshold get compromised then it becomes a run away joke.. if account gets compromised you can still use compromised keys to successfully speak off band with trustees to rotate the key in public.
I'll take NIP 69420 unless this idea already exist.

For those of you running a Bitaxe, what's your best difficulty so far?
After a few hours I got a 6.52M.

2024-10-09 20:50:08

- reply

would you be open to helping organize the locations and venues?

2024-10-09 18:39:21

I understand why one would do solomining with a bitaxe, If a Bitaxe costs about $150, and you can make about 2-3 cents of bitcoin per day. Than it would take about 14 years without difficulty change to make your money back (i.e. will never pay for itself). Vs.. lottery ticket + more decentralization + big pay day + fun.
Am I wrong?

2024-10-09 18:28:36

Crazy to think, if you had 1 bitaxe in it's current form in 2017, you'd of had more hashrate than the entire network at the time.

It is very concerning how hard it is for people to get travel visa's to come to @npub17yq…5269. It's also concerning how many non Americans I met that don't want to travel to the US even if they could get a travel visa because of safety and security. My eyes have been opened this year on just how bad this is. If this doesn't eventually get better I'm going to have rethink a few things about TABConf.

2024-09-19 16:45:38

We have 141 contributors to bitcoin core in roughly the last 12ish months for github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin going back to v24.1
I just realized I'm denoted as one of them on the 26 release. 😅 Many like me may only have trivial commits, but it's still pretty cool to be associated along some very talented people.
26 contributors are active on 3+ releases in the 12 months. I'm planning an award ceremony at @npub17yq…5269 this year to help bring to light some of the hard work done behind the scenes for Bitcoin and related projects. Starting the tradition this year.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 4.
The first block to fill over 99% of the maximum space, 1 MB, was block: 228,538. (2013-March-29).
It wasn't until, block 363,270 (2015-June-30), over 2 years later, that a perfectly full 1,000,000 byte block was mined.

2024-08-18 20:34:44

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 3.
Block 2,513 was the 1st with a timestamp (ts) behind the previous block. Block 2,512’s ts was 10s ahead. This is allowed as ts must be > median of the last 11 blocks and < NetAdjTime + 2 hours.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 2.
Block 2,817 was the first block to contain a fee, 2.01 BTC.

This block contained 0.03 BTC as it's total fee.

John, I developed a game using the Sierra Engine in the early 2000s, a modded version of Empire Earth. It became popular enough for others to host it on their servers. The game featured 3v3 matches, where each player controlled around 150 units. These units would upgrade and respawn as players accumulated more kills. Having someone appreciate your work and your games is one of the best feelings I've ever felt.. still chasing that high now under Satoshi Settlers.

Dalia,
Thank you for creating the Loom video and trying out Satoshi Settlers. Appreciate the suggestions and ideas.
\- I'll experiment with a different color for the top-level UI buttons on the map.
\- An "About" page is long overdue; I'll probably release one soon.
\- I may be able to leverage Nostr for the chatbox, something I'll keep in mind.
\- Regarding the project link, I used the "Link a Project" section. I believe that's why you can see the project icon near my profile picture at the bottom right of the post image, correct?
\- To answer your question about land versus color: Eventually, the land tiles will yield resources based on the hash of the block they represent. The land view should display the type of land and resources you are gathering. Currently, everything is dirt and grass, but this will change in time.

Nostr scaling will eventually end up looking like mastodon…. Similar trade-offs already determined suitable for mastodon will likely be seen as no brainers for future ideas for Nostr. Change my mind.
