very cool! I think I'll need to dust off my old stats text book lol
There're a few, but none of them have the level of funding that Bitcoin Core does, so they are not credible competition (yet). To seat the king, you best come correct, and Bitcoin Core has over a decade head start and deep seated tribal knowledge, plus is extremely reliable.
More melodrama?
, and I seriously wonder if a subset of contributors are not engaged in deliberately inserting backdoors to defraud or hypothetically get technical leverage on user funds in the future, for any kind of political move.
This is a very serious allegation. Without any concrete evidence, this is yet another rage quit (I think you've had a few at this point) by a Bitcoin dev, which happens from time to time.
agreed, each fee spike weaknesses in implementations is made bare
eg: none of them really do fee bumping
linked this in another thread, but looks like the lnd devs have some stuff they're working on in this area: https://groups.google.com/u/1/a/lightning.engineering/g/lnd/c/gz25tikv_3g
IMO we don't need any of this super fancy protocol stuff added to LN until the experience of operating a node is made much smoother, and handling fees better is a big part of that
1000% agreed, I linked elsewhere in the thread, but looks like they're working on it: https://groups.google.com/u/1/a/lightning.engineering/g/lnd/c/gz25tikv_3g
I noticed that the golang secp256k1 package does not make sure if the raw bytes for the keys you provided are indeed on the curve, invalid or weak in any other sense.
have only dabbled in this stuff (took some crypto courses in college), but from my understanding: Bitcoin uses compressed keys everywhere, and decompression has a built in check to make sure things are on the curve: https://github.com/decred/dcrd/blob/dcrec/secp256k1/v4.2.0/dcrec/secp256k1/pubkey.go#L175
have an example of those 10 things?
right now my biggest pain as a node operator is the fee situation, roasbeef posted this outlining some stuff they're doing to make the fees less painful: https://groups.google.com/u/1/a/lightning.engineering/g/lnd/c/gz25tikv_3g
that seems promising to me, but I'm not really capable of keeping up with what's happening w/ the spec, so maybe I'm totally unaware lol
sure it exists, but it's all very high level, look at this: https://www.rgbfaq.com/rgb-smart-contracts/how-does-one-program-rgb-smart-contracts or this https://blackpaper.rgb.tech/consensus-layer/5.-contracts-state-and-operations/5.4.-contract-validation
compared to this: https://github.com/Roasbeef/bips/blob/bip-tap/bip-tap.mediawiki
one looks like design sketches, the other looks like a specification
ok.....then what's the alternative? sending encrypted shares of my private key to all the Block subsidiaries?
idk how they're gonna recover from this tbh
fwiw, Jade by Blockstream also needs to contact a server (for the PIN) to work properly as well -- realized this when they did that mining thing: you gotta send and recv work with a live server
my pleb PoV: I understand what RGB wants to do at a high level, but they have zero docs, and it looks like the protocol isn't even really finished and has ambitious that are waaaay too grand (they want to be the World Computer)
the protocol-formerly-known-as-taro seems a lot simpler, has a team with a good track record of shipping, and already has the makings of a proper API (just glancing): https://lightning.engineering/api-docs/api/taproot-assets/
The auto liquidity management feature seems pretty cool! Can't wait to see where else they'll apply it. I should definitely look more into LNC and the whole macaroon thing, sounds like it could be game-changing.
No one knows what CISA would even concretely look like. Not really clear that a sane design that doesn't dramatically increase wallet complexity is possible.
Yuga Labs is the ultimate VC enabled grift company.
They have no product, they don't solve any real world problems, they just sell FOMO in the form of digital items they release and maintain complete supply over.
They've raised $450 MILLION, and to what aim? They make faux scarce digital images, not like they have some crazy hardware costs or anything like that. It's totally detached from reality, and impacts the lives of literally zero normal people.

I mean Bitcoin itself is unaware of it. There'd be no way peg mechanism, so it's like a sibling chain. That's great, as people can just do it in a permissionless manner.
I think the specifics of double spend protection or not would depend on the consensus system of the sibling chain. Sounds like a cool design space to explore.
