I made a chart that compares my new Papa Swap protocol with traditional Submarine Swaps. I also implemented the code in the form of a wallet that works like Muun Wallet, but using Papa Swaps. I plan to present my research and demo my code at Bitcoin++ Istanbul. See you there!

Today I wrote a small essay on use cases for coinpools. It is attached. Note that if you want to *try* a coinpool, I wrote a publicly-available implementation for testnet. I recommend watching my video demo before trying it. Essay: View quoted note → Video explainer and demo: Implementation:

GitHub - supertestnet/hedgehog_factory: It's like tornado factory but for hedgehog channels, and I added a coordinator

I am working at a library in Iowa where they appear to block traffic to mempool.space. Very annoying. My current project is a web wallet gets utxo data from mempool.space, so I have to run it in a tor browser to make it work.

Causation implies correlation

Any others?

I have identified 3 c++ devs who intentionally work on Knots: 1. Luke Dashjr (x.com/LukeDashjr, github.com/luke-jr) 2. Retropex (x.com/leo_haf, github.com/retropex) 3. Bigshiny90 (x.com/bigshiny90, github.com/bigshiny90) Anyone else? I hope at least 15 people do so.

There is a meme going around that Luke Dashjr is the only maintainer of Bitcoin Knots. This seems implausible to me with all the attention Knots has gotten lately. Can anyone point to anyone else who works on it? Or step up and say "Luke is not alone, I work on Knots too"?

To my non-American friends: The sport "football" (your version) is misnamed. Unless you play barefoot, your foot never touches the ball. Your *shoes* and *socks* touch it though. Consider renaming it "shoe-and-sock-ball" -- or just "soccer" for short. Context: this meme
