Why is lnd slow to adopt BOLT12? Is it because they are focused on their “shitcoins on Lightning” protocol?

An idea: a new Bitcoin implementation using an a completely new wire protocol and serialization format. It could use well defined industry standards such as protocol buffers for serialization and WebSockets for transport. This would allow for new implementations to be created with ease, increasing network decentralization. Bridges could be implemented to keep both parts of the network in sync until it wasn’t needed anymore.

It’s incredible the amount of stuff happening around Ordinals. I don’t have to love JPEGs but there sure is a lot of development happening

Working on a public-facing site that needs json RPC access. I don’t have a fiat tree growing in my yard, so I need options for node access. Running a full node on a VPS is very hefty when it comes to storage. It would probably cost 80-100 cuckbucks per month, unless there is an ultra low cost storage VPS provider out there somewhere. Is the best option connecting to my home node? Or is there a low cost option out there for RPC access?

Has anyone seen the .sats addresses that inscribers are making? Are those useful for anything? It doesn’t seem to carry any data or have a transport mechanism for records or anything

What does this asshole think he’s doing?

I am putting up 21 million dollars against 21 billion bitcoin that bitcoin will be 1 million dollars in 90 days. Any takers?

Branch frequently. Branch all the things #git

Great episode of the Human Action Podcast

RED ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨 #[0]​ didn’t mention this in the release notes but text is finally selectable Biggest news of the update 😂

I am not even halfway through #[0]’s episode with Lionel Shriver and I can’t wait to post this: I could listen to this women talk for eternity

I really want to reiterate that the United States ALLEGEDLY committed a direct act of war against one our allies, ALLEGEDLY lied to the entire world and said it was Russia, and now we are ALLEGEDLY under some kind of attack or alien invasion. This is truly some kind of insane clown world simulation.

Can you guys feel it? There’s something in the air. Just as the SEC comes crashing in to destroy crypto on one side, Ordinals release, causing the degens to flock to Bitcoin and teach them how to run Bitcoin full nodes and do coin control, offering a release valve. Just as social media starts collapsing under the weight of censorship and twitter begins to fall apart, nostr arises to provide a new protocol for social media, with Lightning at the forefront. Things are turning. The capital is loosening. Do you feel it yet?
