Has anyone given a detail look at spark? Statechain for bitcoin?

what the heck is Zora? I can see in the ethereum space now people shilling Zora as they used to do with Lens protocol in the past but what the heck is that one?

I have a question: Is hashrate a relevant metric to measure Network's Strengh? I think is not but interested in hearing counter arguments here Why Not? - Because the only real thing that matters is how much money an adversary would need to attack the network and that is measured in terms of money needed on electricty and hardware plus infra - Hashrate will continue to grow even if the network total strengh goes down. One of the latest AntMiners is capable of producing 10X or even more than previous versions of antminers so if I see hashrate going up 10x may simply mean that I have replaced equipement without having spent more money to support the network

I think I’m getting it @calle I’ll eventually get my hands on cashu and see what I can do

Why don’t we enable extra block space only to be used for the necessary scripting needed to support L2? That way we could: - continue having space for L1 transactions unaffected - continue having nodes that only check l1 if they want to - extra space would provide dedicated block market to increase security budget Currently we are making below 2k usd on frees… it’ll need to go up to 15million per bitcoin to support current revenue per block Pretty sure we will hit that value one day but even if we do, it may still fall short on revenue per block so finding newer revenue sources cannot be underestimated and what I’m suggesting would give bitcoin added features through other layers

kinda like cashu, I installed it on two different apps and started moving money around. I do see the potential there where we own the money, private etc... yet I'm struggling to understand what would make it a real alternative for regular users @calle can the protocol be extended to support for instance USDT on Cashu? if that's the case then.. having the possibility to exchange P2P BTC with USDT on Cashu privately could make it powerful for pure btc only, given that you would only have a fraction of pocket money on cashu as mints are centralized, I see complex having money from so many mints even if there is cross mint swaps. but if you add stuff like bringing USDT on cashu then I think it becomes more interesting

Interesting

Why David says “insecure” if those addresses where already p2pkh? He seems not understanding bitcoin addresses at all

Provocative: In the US many people argue that is needed to have guns to be protected from potential evel governments etc but yet, they allow the government to take full control of their money Bitcoin is your weapon. Without money, even if you have guns, you won’t be able to buy bullets
