Are there any other Proton Nostr accounts or just Wallet (for now!)

2024-08-14 09:57:29

- reply

Yeah, it's difficult -- 'normal' people don't know how Swift, Fedwire, SEPA, FasterPayments, CHAPS, CHIPS, NSS, BACS, ACH, Visa etc. etc. *work* or how they even relate to each-other and what they actually *do*, they can just use the appropriate one in a pretty seamless way without having to think about it. Ultimately we'll have to match and exceed that usability, but it's a harder (or at-least rather different) problem to solve without relying on the "do it centrally and let your bank handle that for you" option.

Before I get jumped on, I’m not saying Assange donations aren’t warranted, but OpenSats and others are funding critical work that doesn’t always have the immediacy to rake in large sums, and it’s a slow grind where it is hard to see “what you got” for your donation — nonetheless, you can’t donate to Assange, fight the good fight, or use Bitcoin at all and talk about it on Nostr if it they don’t work, and OpenSats and others are funding that good work

Rather randomly, I’ve recently picked up an old #iPod classic 5th gen and am loving it so far.
(despite the upgrade to use SD card storage being way harder than it’s supposed to be on this cursed iPod 🤣)
iPods are low time preference. Streaming is just somebody else’s music. Listening to a podcast on an iPod is strangely a more engaging experience, and interruption free - you can’t just check Twitter/Nostr/get a call.
A related note, I can’t find an existing solution for “buy my whole music library” which is weird because I want to give someone money and they’re making it hard 🤷‍♂️
Also Apple Music is a bit jank with importing MP3s - it works, but 50/50 whether it matches to the streaming version of the album you already had (yay) or creates duplicates (not yay)

This does sound pretty insane, though the counterfactual "what would have been the 'criminal funds generated annually' had €0 been spent on compliance instead of €144Bn" is worth thinking about (that which is unseen) -- but the bar is still very high, if expenditure is €144Bn then the crime it prevented would have to be on the order of €1Tn to be merely ~10% complicance loss... which is a lot of 'crime'.

Increasingly thinking “on top of Nostr” isn’t a good idea, Radicle’s protocol seems very well thought out.
Feels like adding Nostr would be unnecessary mess - storing everything (code, issues, PRs, identity/ownership *in* git itself is kinda genius)

2024-04-29 18:50:53

Been thinking about this a bit -- *perhaps*, one of the reasons Lightning has taken so long is that we're only just realising how important the LSP component is. Wallets/nodes that work with a LSP are so much easier to run and use for non-dev and non-in-it-as-a-business people. Even as a dev, I'm fairly hesitant to sign myself up for the maintenance effort of running a normal Lightning node.
Things like Phoenix, @npub1xnf…lpr5, Phoenixd and @npub1mut…23vg (mutiny server soon! 👀) are just so much easier to work with than "just" run LND/Eclair/C-Lightning/LDK-Node etc. Is the logical conclusion that for Lightning node-running to become prolific, LSPs (or more accurately, a way for nodes to 'buy' inbound from and get channels with others) have to become an inherent part of the Lightning protocol? Feels like it to me.

I believe it’s because people started testing runes on testnet, then started selling testnet runes and testnet-Bitcoin. So attacking the chain was a fairly effective but coarse way to stop that.
A testnet reset is being discussed on the mailing list (testnet4) but a reset has not happened for ages so opinions are mixed so there’s not currently consensus on what exactly to do

Mostly agree; though it's always sad and painful to see people that aren't "in the Bitcoin camp" enough to have got the advice about Lightning and UTXO consolidation hitting pain with on-chain fees and not knowing what to do, feeling lied-to or misled somehow.

That has the issue that the merkle root hash is not the same as the file hash, so how do you then do discovery? (I want this file hash has to be resolved to a merkle root then I also have to download the whole thing before I can verify that that is indeed the file I wanted)

Yeah, the fundamental difficulty is LNURL needs you to control a clearnet domain somewhere so it's easy for people to fnd you and resolve a human redable ID like `satoshi@lightning.gmx.com` -> long LNURL pay thingy `LNURLPBLAHBLAHBLAH.....` -> An actual Invoice from the Lightning Network.
That need to start with a clearnet domain makes it difficult to get working at all from an Umbrel-at-home, and difficult to make it work reliably. I assume it would work over Tor, but 99% of people then probably can't pay you as running Tor on a phone is not normal 😅 and also a tad difficult

Though it is very attackable, because it is so similar to Bitcoin but ofc massively outclassed in therms of hashrate. Also has the consensus difficulty reset bug that also would make it suck for actual value. Also also lots of bitcoin devs have massive bags of testnet sats they could dump and crash the price. Though I think we're all in agreement this is dumb anyways so 🤷‍♂️

Phoenixd is a Lightning node (https://phoenix.acinq.co/server/) that works a lot like thir app, uses ACINQ as the LSP so you never have to worry about liquidity or finding people to open channels with, they handle all of that for you, for a fee.
So, you just need to run phoenixd to have self-hosted lightning, and phoenixd-lnurl alongside it to have self-hosted LNURL and Zaps.
Currently does kinda require that you've already got a server running somewhere, more work needed to get this to work on node-in-a-box solutions like Umbrel, Start9 etc.

Quantum threat to cryptography does actually worry me a lot for Bitcoin, we can’t simply react to it quickly. Changing Bitcoin is super hard normally, then even once post-q cryptography is available the entire UTXO set needs to transact to be safe. Don’t know if it’s possible to add new cryptography as a soft fork (maybe as a future taproot version?) so a hard fork will be more contentious still. It will take years.
