Remember, when you move utxos on a forked chain you link common coin ownership on the parent chain. Don't fuck up your privacy for picking up pennies in front of the train.

Two projects aim at the same goal of unstoppable networks for human beings, and they arrive at radically different solutions. Reticulum strips addressing and ports from the protocol entirely and optimizes for radio links so slow that five bits per second counts as usable bandwidth, then builds its own parallel universe of applications on top. @FIPS takes the opposite bet, keeping IPv6 semantics alive through a TUN adapter so that unmodified SSH and curl can cross a mesh of Nostr identities. This post walks both stacks from the wire up, then shows where their design choices force different tradeoffs. View article →

The usual covenant debate on Bitcoin starts with Script and soft forks. PIPEs v2 starts somewhere stranger: it asks whether a spend condition can be enforced by making the signing key itself unavailable until a proof exists. That move shifts the burden away from on-chain verification and into witness encryption, committee setup, a huge off-chain artifact, and the engineering needed to bind them together. The result is one of the most interesting proposals in current Bitcoin research because it enlarges the design space without asking Bitcoin consensus to change. View article →
