I had some sats stuck in Lightning channels. Had to contact my peers and get them to remote close them.

Tbh, silent payments are overrated. In the best case scenario, you match the current privacy of a newly generated BIP32 address. In the worst case scenario, your incoming payments are linked together even before your UTXOs are spent: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/state-of-the-transaction-privacy-work-in-bitcoin/2622/7

So, if you are already generating new BIP32 addresses for every payment, keep doing that. But if you are already using BIP47 Paynyms for donations, then you should upgrade to BIP352 Silent Payments.

Personally, I don't think about the quantum threat at all. P2WPKH doesn't protect your coins, it just delays when the attacker learns the public key.

He posts the same picture of Netanyahu inside Trump's skull over and over and over and over and over and over again. It wasn't even funny the first time.

Insufficient balance.

How about I offer you a bounty to permanently remove SN's integration with the scam? Name your price.

Exactly.

What's unclear about that statement?

Is CoinOS also a custodial wallet that is scamming their users by claiming to be noncustodial?

It seems to me that @DarthCoin and @Kruw would have been happier if SN just introduced a custodial wallet where SN holds all your sats -- and I do find that nonsensical.

You already admitted this used to exist, but was removed in favor of CCs.

Exactly. By allowing Spark to lie about the properties of their platform, it makes it difficult for ACTUAL noncustodial wallets that use ACTUAL Lightning to compete against them. Users won't know to switch from Spark to Lightning because they were told by Spark that they are already using Lightning.

Both, but the CCs problem doesn't affect me directly since I'm a net spender instead of a net receiver. This topic is about the scam called Spark.

Nah but @ek seems unhappy that I haven't forked SN, so maybe I'll post a bounty for the Stacker who does it?

When it started you could use the custodial wallet to spend sats.

Yeah. That was fine. But then @k00b 's balls dropped off and now we have CCs.

No, it's not enough for me. Thanks for asking.

These services are fine, but they are certainly custodial.

Spark is a scam is because they claim to be NOT custodial, which is not fine.

Today, I'm holding @k00b accountable for integrating a scam (Spark) into Stacker News.
