Electrum server is the silent workhorse powering many bitcoin apps, linking the app with the bitcoin network. Electrum has two interfaces: the more powerful TCP-based RPC, and a web-frendly REST (esplora). The RPC is more powerful, e.g. it has notifications support. Interestingly, some operations are easier with the REST, e.g. getting the confirmation height of a transaction is not supported in the RPC API (at least in electrs). Small differences like this make the life of a programmer fun (miserable?)

This will enable a lot of cool projects in the coming years! 🚀🙏 View quoted note →

great job, Blink team! @openoms View quoted note →

Hey, nostr-master @Henkypenky, do you have nostr notifications on your mobile, and through which app?

Code reviews should be objective. But I found that I produce more useful comments if I start with the attitude "this guy is a moron and his contribution is bollocks". So I try to force that attitude on me even if the PR is by a friend or highly respected individual 😎 👮

You can solomine with your #bitaxe, hoping for a block reward Or you can point it to zappool.org , for daily sats for zapping Either way, you rock!!! 💪 🪓 🎃 https://zappool.org

Self-custodying your coins gives you power, but also makes bitcoin more powerful 💪
