Bitcoin v28 looks like it’s gonna be a banger

What are peoples favorite cashu mints these days?

Finally watched Oppenheimer. Good flick

I really like how simple boardwalk cash is.

4 years on, the m1 macbook air is still the best laptop ive ever bought.

@Kody Low gave me a walkthrough of the fedimint module interface at bitcoin++. really neat. The tldr is that you can have the federation run a module that vends ${whatever} in exchange for ecash. Having a mint be a small closed market for different services that you pay for with that market's ecash is a really interesting model. For example, you could make a cloud services market where you have a module for object storage, a module for serverless compute, a module for some SaaS service, etc. The modules/backing services could be made by different companies or teams, and then they delegate account management and last-mile billing to the mint (because its just bitcoin in, bitcoin out). I'm pretty skeptical ecash for mass-adoption end user payments, but I think ecash for a pluggable platforms of related services makes a ton of sense.

Anyone have desktop speakers that they REALLY love?

Got some juniper seasoned smoked sausage. Legit tastes like a pork g&t

Even in an LLM world, programming is still the longest lever

gm everyone trying to get transactions done before the mempool shitshow begins

Going to be talking about the onchain vault that I made with OP_CAT on the optech spaces this week. Swing by if you want to hear about using fun schnorr tricks in script to do transaction introspection (Id argue its closer to transaction assertion but w/e)

made a prototype vault using OP_CAT:

cool features include partial enforcement of inputs/outputs, and inspecting state in a previous parent transaction. also loads of spaghetti

fullrbf is awesome
