TIL that Wells Fargo only lets you transfer $500 to a newly added external account if that account is from $cashapp. The default is $5000 for a bank or credit union. Support told me they have a different lower limit due to "fraud" risk but give no message about why higher transfers failed on the web site.
Is this just a blatant attempt to supress a competitor with a new more dynamic business model?

It is not reasonable to expect a small group of individuals developing critical Lightning technology to put themselves at risk of criminal charges from the global hedgemon. Better to avoid conflict for now and continue the mission to develop the technology. Once the LSP model has matured I can imagine an end game where a thousand small LSPs bloom. That's how we fight back. "Let us proceed together apace."

Reposting from bird site post by Laurent MT. "Here we go again"
"...the defendants, developed, marketed, and operated a cryptocurrency mixing
service known as Samourai Wallet (““Samourai”), an unlicensed money transmitting business from
which they earned millions of dollars in fees. Samourai unlawfully combined multiple unique
features to execute anonymous financial transactions valued at over $2 billion in cryptocurrency
for its customers. While offering Samourai as a “privacy” service, the defendants knew that it was
a haven for criminals to engage in large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion. Indeed,
as the defendants intended and well knew, a substantial portion of the funds that Samourai
processed were criminal proceeds passed through Samourai for purposes of concealment. Indeed,
during the relevant period, Samourai laundered over $100 million dollars of crime proceeds
originating from, among other criminal sources: illegal darkweb markets, such as Silk Road and
Hydra Market; various wire fraud and computer fraud schemes, including a web-server intrusion,
a spear phishing scheme, and schemes to defraud multiple decentralized finance protocols; and
other illegal activities."

Exciting to see Bitcore 27.0 includes Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation (TRUC) Transactions policy (aka v3 transaction policy) for test networks!
When TRUC gets adopted on mainnet this will increase the safety of Lightning and other L2s that have to worry about txs getting pinned.

I tapered - half-caf for awhile, then switched to herbal tea. I never did just decaf coffee though - taste was too bad. I've been off caffeine now for about about a year. My biggest problem is that it's awkward at social gatherings, so I usually have herbal tea in those cases. I can't say how long it took to be back to baseline because I tapered, but my sleep has improved over the last 12 months for sure.
I feel less stress after quiting, but hard to know if it's the coffee or other factors. Good luck on your coffee free journey!

What are your thoughts on the SC agreeing to take the social media moderation cases? Will their decision impact nostr relays? users?
https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/02/social-media-content-moderation-laws-come-before-supreme-court/
I find myself in the awkward position of agreeing with the NYT and opposing any laws that categorize social media companies like FB and Twitter as some sort of common carriers.. I want them to burn in a 🔥, not because they are biased and censor alt views, but because they suck. I think they should also not have any more legal protection than publishers do when they publish slander, promote illegal investment schemes or post copyrighted cat videos. You can't have the right to censorship without also taking the responsibility that comes with it. My only concern is how such a ruling would impact Nostr relays. Perhaps we'll need to add some mechanism to make it impossible for relays to censor so that they are not in the same category as publishers.

I am only aware of hardware solutions for true offline transactions - coinkites opendime, etc.
You could do it with payment channels (eg. Lightning ) but you would need to go online at some point to confirm the channel wasn't closed and potentially publish a revocation tx.

2024-01-24 19:19:28

- reply

I would expect multi-party channels that include end user nodes to update less frequently than multi-party channels between routing nodes. But a 2 of 2 channel that settles to a multi-party channel could update whenever both parties are online - even when the other multi-party signers are offline.
If updating the multi-party channel isn't possible, then you have to go onchain.
How do you splice out a particular channel party that isn't responding in a fair/safe/fee efficient way? That's what seems to be where more work is needed.
Is this a solved problem with other covenant schemes? I think they all could use more detailed investigation.

Phoenix exchanges signatures at different fee rates with Eclair so RBF can be used. As the channel initiator, the Acinq LSP pays the onchain fees for an uncooperative close.

Exchanges in the US are already co-opted and their over eager KYC allows the USG to track coins that originate domestically and a weapon against self custodial uses of coins from exchanges.
I think this is also is a way to bully offshore banks to not work with local Bitcoin exchanges. The complexity of if a tx does or does not fall afoul of these proposed rules will not be worth the risk of losing access to the US banking system.
I still don't think most government regulators realize the peril the state (and their job) is in. These regulations are just the start of them waking up.

I also like their ChatBTC bot. I had a question about nonces related to the new simple taproot channels BLIP and how it might intereact with splicing. I think the answer was good and the fact that it also gives you references to verify the summary is fantastic.

Current president elect is the son of the last democraticly elected government before the CIA led coup in 1954. Interesting history and makes you wonder about the naming of the DC airport:

The hope is that real estate will become demonetized in a future where Bitcoin is seen as a better way to protect long term savings.
Removing the monetary premium from real estate should reduce prices down to more reasonable historical multiples.

I think you're right, they thought they could explain the Spotify income as legit earnings from their gangster rap, but not the Bitcoin.
Financial privacy doesn't exist at banks so you need to have a good story about what you earn.

"Describing the process, he said the gangs would convert their dirty cash to bitcoin, then used the cryptocurrency to pay people who sold fake streams on Spotify, which is a Swedish company."

I want to know more about how these gangs converted their dirty cash to bitcoin in Sweden, and why the Spotify step was needed at all. Seems like a cumbersome mechanism.

You were also paying 1% to add inbound liquidity - this is strictly better as inbound only costs fixed on chain fees now.
Their fee structure mirrors the actual cost structure better now.

Doug Casey lives in Argentina and talked briefly about Milei in his recent talk with Saifedean. The tldr is he likes him but isn't involved in his campaign. I highly recommend the episode:

Someone else to watch is Carlos Maslatón who sounds like the guy advising Milei about Bitcoin.

A bit of a catch-22 with using this (beta!) web app is you can't withdraw reward sats (yet). But you also can't set an email/password to access your account to withdraw via the mobile app.
But 🧡 this direction - hope you can add LNURL logins to the mobile app soon. ⚡

When async payments are implemented, it would be theoretically possible for mobile wallets like Phoenix to provide a static invoice (with blinded paths, etc.) to receive zaps on. It would only require an LSP for a non-custodial assist, but otherwise would be self custodial.
The main hurdle is accumulating enough pending zaps to fund a new inbound channel (approx 10,000 sats / $3 today).
Maybe bootstraping precoiner users will always have to be custodial, but with a path to self custody.
