Thanks for the detailed answer.
Honestly what you describe seems (at my noob level) to be a solution to one of the biggest UX problem in LN. It's huge lol
Don't know how hard it would be to convert the whole LN to this new standard but could be pretty fast it it indeed works as you show.
Congratulations anyway 🎉 for this promising idea (among all others)
Is it trusless ? Like do you need an LSP or something or does it work really "like" LN but I can pay anyone without worrying about the payee being online or not ?
It seems just to good to be true, where are the trade offs ? :)
For me it's more a "why" for statism... Why should we have to live our short existence under oppressive regimes / mafia ? This make absolutely non sense...
That's why I came logically to liberalism for the same reason you describe on your post basically... I want peace, and freedom, not pressure and violence from an overlord.
You should know though, by reasoning and/or looking at history.
Their is no such a thing that can be solved better by a forced monopolistic entity than by a free market. Their is no good reason to prevent competition in any field unless you fear not offering a good enough product/service. Or it's a personal/subjective issue that you want to solve by violence, but it's obviously immoral.
Again in a free world, nothing would stop you and your fellow socialists to gather and associate in order to create your own mini state. The only question is: why on earth would you want to force people into your association ? In other words to go one step further in the story, why communists always end building walls to prevent people from leaving their nightmare of a society ?
Cant' you agree to disagree, do your things, and let people chose what they want ?
Kind of atomic swaps between cashu tokens and sats maybe if it means anything ? Or maybe something linked to DLCs like 10101 was trying to do ?
I will answer by a question: how do you think that a monopolistic entity can solve any of the problems you mentioned or think about, better than a free market ?
Libertarianism is just about letting people chose who they want to associate with. Libertarians even welcome communists (which is absolutely not the case the other way around, which say a lot about the morality of each system) as long as they to their shit together. This is the beauty of an anarcap world, you can opt-in and out at will as long as you respect contracts you've willingly signed.
What is very annoying with people disagreeing with libertarian views is their habits of cherry picking problems and yelling "see you can't imagine a way to solve this" while it's precisely because no central authority can find the solution that we have to let the market doing it. On the other hand they of course have a solution for every problem you bring "just let the State solve it" as if THE STATE was not a bunch of dudes just cut off from market signals, with a monopoly on violence (what could go wrong...)
To conclude, libertarianism is just by far the best system we can imagine, or the least bad if you prefer. It's not the panacea, it does not solve everything, it's just the only reasonable way...
I will never understand Bitcoiners who still use custodial LN wallets while Phoenix exists...Ok for non bitcoiners merchants who don't want to spend time to manage their liquidity, and just receive payments without a bank account.
But otherwise, with Phoenix, Zeus, Blixt, Bitkit, Breez, Umbrel already and others already existing and working well or extremely well, it makes not much sense to me, really.
These sociopaths are dangerous as fuck and should be impeach ASAP Macron, Trudeau, sleepy pedo Joe, but also any governments' head who has a power to start a war.
Nation States (basically divine monarchy 2.0) are total collective madness, source of ALL genocide ever perpetrated in human history. This has to stop.
I will have a look into tout project but why didn't you use BISQ at the time ? It was already there.
Honestly tipping through Alby but linked to my own node is very satisfying, on nostr or on lightning enabled websites. 2 click and then money flows at speed of light to enrich total strangers creating good content.
Also paying people abroad for their services, without worrying about any currency exchange rate/fees and bank authorization is amazing. You really realize how our parasitic overlords are keeping the world in misery for much longer than is should have been, without any other reason that keeping their privileges on the money printing, through nonsensical mone monopoly and legal tender...
Done it before even seeing your comment. PAying and tipping via Bitcoin is something common for me now (even if it's still magic every time I do it), but man what a game changer it will make when people all over the world will finally get that no third party is needed to transfer money instantly and to be paid for your work/content....
Honestly I would agree. The trade-offs between sovereignty, usability and functionality/features seems by far the best even if of course everything is subjective
Did you try it recently ? I just zapped you with it and I really think it's getting better and better, the success rate is improving a lot.
Greenlight via Green was a nightmare too at the beginning (90% of tx failing for no reason) but recently it seems to work better for me with almost all payment going through even if it is much slower than the average wallet (I often wait between 15 dec and one minute to make a payment)
But I really noticed improvements in the last few weeks with now 90% succeeding
Is there really guys among you that declare every beer they buy, every Bitrefill cards they buy, every sell on BISQ they do ?
If yes, Bitcoin is NGMI
Ok course it is the fix. Mass adoption will happen precisely when people will understand that Bitcoin can allow them to not paye taxe, or less at least.
Do not care about what sleepy Joe wants, you don't owe him anything, he can't trace millions of micro tx, so enjoy and stop asking for permission particularly when you don't need to
Meanwhile Solanal doesn't produce any block and its price doesn't drop a penny lol This Solanal guys are dumb as fuck
Not really a book, more like a small essay: "What has government done to our money", from Rothbard
The simple word "government"or "governance" gives me goosebumps. The fact their exists people that want to govern me seems unbelievable in the Bitcoin space... Don't statists in Bitcoin start to understand that the problem IS the government ITSELF, and not who compose it ?
There is not enough good faith, not enough good will in this world which will not transform any kind of government into a tyrannical one eventually. It is by design, if you base your regime on theft and violence the outcome will always be the same. Even the founding fathers of USA, have failed....
What we need is SHRINKING the state as much as possible, until it is so small that anyone can decide to opt out at will. This means that the State has to be dismantled to make place to free market based organizations including for education, security and justice. This is the goal that we must all envision, and aim to achieve, slowly, one step after the other. Any political engagement should be directed only to the realization of reducing as much as possible the State's scope.
This fight will never end of course as statist will always be there among us with their totalitarian impulses, and will try to nibble as much freedom as they can everywhere they go, whatever they do. But if we can make clear in people mind once and for all that the State is dangerous totalitarian organization of the past (like kingdom, empires, slavery and all this shit), we could gave us a big reprieve.
SHRINK THE STATE
