Over my head, but thought I'd throw in my two sats anyway :) I'd go with the former since it seems more "mutual"

Deliberate obfuscation? Seems like a share price that is factor of ten representation of the bitcoin price shouldn't be that hard. 100,000 sats/share?

Checked on github. It doesn't look like Accrescent or AppVerifier can be verified with gpg. I don't have apksigner. How does one obtain that? gpg is fairly available. I use it while booted in Tails. I wish developers would continue to use it as a verification option. I was able to verify Obtainium with gpg. Sorry for so many questions.

Who is Accrescent? Is Logan Magee the main person? Are they public? What does the name mean? Are they trying to be a better F-Droid? I wonder if they've considered working with Obtainium. New to Graphene. Currently I'm verifying with gpg on my computer when possible. This is all a bit complicated/tedious. The price one needs to pay? God help the normies.

Thank you for sharing. I respect his opinion. But right now, while not as extreme as @npub15dq…lm5m , I lean more to his side of the spectrum. Expressed well on @npub1r8l…x5dk recently.

I agree that it is important to understand where yields comes from. But if one holds a stable USD balance, I believe it possible for it to accrue interest/yield from the counter party on the other side with a bitcoin balance. I'd prefer an eventual mechanism like discreet log contracts (#DLC) or some derivative contract that is not dependent on a company like Tether. I'm hopeful for work that organizations like #10101 (10101.finance) are doing.

Do you think the behavior of mempool.space's mempool is aligned with the programmed incentives of the bitcoin network, or is it still evolving as new participants learn?

2023-12-31 14:19:07

- reply

Using #SideSwap (sideswap.io) as an example, they charge a 0.1% fee to peg in from & peg out to the main chain. They provide a swap market for things like liquid tether, and along with this an instant swap service where they take the other side for ~0.75% spread. These fees likely provide proper incentive. Transaction fees currently seem insignificant in comparison.
I'm looking forward to learning about & appreciate #Mutiny Wallet's hard work to integrate #fedimints. But also appreciate #Blockstream's great work with liquid and the use cases it fills now. I really hope Fedi & Mutiny teams take advantage when appropriate of the knowledge, technology, & research Blockstream has provided with liquid.

Assuming scenario B occurs to the same extent as scenario A (I don't believe it has... yet.), there is no difference. This type of attack seems plausible, but are there reasons it would not be feasible/likely? However, should it occur, is there a defense against this attack that does not rely on miners making a financial sacrifice? I'm afraid that defense will not be sufficient.

2023-12-27 23:59:09

One could also say it excluded 1400 transactions that were willing to pay a higher fee than the 1400 that were included.

Good words. Thank you for all you do! Strike is a bridge between fiat scam world & bitcoin freedom world. We need bridges such as strike that do the best they can. If one gets to the point where they are willing & able to utilize bitcoin without that bridge, then move on. Strike is a great tool that I rarely need anymore, but I'm grateful to have it available.

Thank you. If I may, one more question. So, would this mean a 1 in 135.92T (2x67.96) chance of earning a block reward per hash? I've wondered this before when trying to compare running some small solo miner to playing some lottery.

2023-11-26 01:50:51

- reply

Does a difficulty of 67.96T mean that each hash has a 1 in 67.96T chances of being a solution, or that it takes on average, 67.96T hashes to find a solution?

I'm hoping to see #SideSwap (sideswap.io) build it into their app. Maybe with #boltz apis.

Thank you for the question. It helps me to understand the potential issue. Let's start at a $100 fee level. Say bitcoin gets to $100,000. Moving 0.2 bitcoin would incur a 0.5% fee. What do you think of these numbers? I am okay with federated solutions for smaller amounts.

What are the opinions of tether on the liquid network? I find it very easy to use on #SideSwap.io (scroll down on liquid.net to find it listed as a featured project). 0.1% for peg-ins & peg-outs from/to the main chain, and ~0.8% to swap in & out of liquid tether. Also can use #boltz.exchange to move between liquid and lightning (hoping this gets built into SideSwap eventually).

I think I agree. But maybe still have the individual apps enforce the Tor requirement when set, i.e., connection lost if orbot has a problem. Best way to prevent accidentally connecting over clear net?

I appreciate what you're doing here. I hope you don't get too discouraged if you find it more difficult to sell to bitcoiners who recognize the opportunity cost of parting with their bitcoin. Probably much easier to get nocoiners to part with fiat.😉

I hope for a future of commoditized upgradable asic hardware that makes it possible for many more to be mining participants of the bitcoin network with minimal expense. Especially when the heat generated can be put to use. Beautifully decentralized abundant hash power! Please do not pollute the aligned and straightforward incentives. One should not be disadvantaged as a bitcoin miner for not paying attention to external "drivechains"

I appreciate your perspective. I haven't upgraded to Phoenix v2 yet, but it's my understanding there's a 0.4% fixed outbound lightning fee. I have v1's prefs set for 0.1% max. I agree it's a free market, and look forward to that playing out 👍

Over a long time period it's a free market of energy, which is ultimately the way of nature. Bitcoin is a foundation for value exchange that follows natural laws and incentives. Assuming the universe knows what it's doing, I believe it's the optimal solution

Wow! Assuming this was not intentional for some reason, sincere sympathies for whoever made this mistake. If I were an F2Pool member, I would be willing to give up my piece of that fee if requested. I doubt there's an easy way to do that though. Any idea how it may have happened?

I agree with the bearer instrument value of cash, but I hope for a bitcoin technology that can eventually replace it in all but the rarest cases. I would accept the need to have some electrical power for something like NFC. But not be dependent on either party having a connection to the internet or bitcoin peer to peer network, i.e., no cellular or wifi. Maybe fedimint or cashu tech could be an answer? Tap two offline phones together to exchange value? I still value cash, but tap to pay is so sweet!

Have you looked at SideSwap? They do not currently have lightning integration, but, if that's possible, they may be well positioned to achieve it.

2023-05-07 03:12:25

- reply

Yes, totally agree with the peer to peer use case also. Amounts not so large that need full security of on chain (avoiding potentially high fees and confirmation times), but larger than small lightning amounts (amounts that may require more lightning channel liquidity management).

2023-05-07 02:17:54

- reply

I have very much enjoyed using the SideSwap app. Problem is, I have yet to see a merchant that accepts liquid bitcoin. Peg ins & peg outs are 0.1%, which imo is not too much for occasional on chain transactions. Minimum on chain payment (peg out) amount is currently 100,000 sats, but with current on chain fees, probably best to use lightning if possible for those smaller amounts anyway. Blinded transaction amounts on the liquid blockchain are nice too!
