I enjoyed Your Lie in April. They turned it into a great West End musical that unfortunately only had a fairly short run last summer.

Very hood story

I love this idea, and have always thought that it would be easiest solved at the citadel/community level.

My solution was to use public private key pairs as identification. So the shipper ships the goods to a plain text community hub but the recipient's name is a pub key.

The community hub receives packages for several/many people and simply sorts them into amazon drop box style lockers which are opened via the true recipient's private key via QR.

The level of privacy grows with the size of the community using the service.

This seems more feasible to implement than a what you are describing, albeit not as epic lol.

Of all the threads, I think this reply is the one that explained it clear enough for me to grasp. Bookmarked.

Thank you Murch

My guess is it is related to that other interesting post about the Catholic church's financial troubles. They need American money to get them out of debt.

What's the rule of thumb regarding consolidating Utxo s after coinjoin? Seeing limited and guesswork-sounding info out there.

If someone coinjoins a single utxo of 1 BTC they may end up with big chunks but also smaller bits of 10k, 20k sats. Does reconsolidation of a few, or all, the private utxo completely defeat the privacy gains of coinjoining?

Secondly, the option to coinjoin disappears after 100% private is reached on Wasabi. Does that mean rejoining from that point is useless?

I did not expect to see this posted on stacker.news. I am glad you shared this. I also saw it and thought it was an interesting take.

AI cannot feel.

I'll share one of the system prompts I'll sometime use. Maybe it's of value to other folks reading this.

I see. That https://github.com/lightning/blips/pull/18 is not merged since 2022. Looks like there is a simpler and less disruptive way to implement that and it is to ask the peer on the other end of the channel to lower their fee and you will pay the diff to them. For example, assuming a channel between A and B:

would be the same as:

In the second case a greedy and mean A can increase the fee from 900 to 1000 shortly after and get 1000 from the sender and 100 from B. But that is equivalent to the first case where A can increase its fee to 1100 after noticing B set -100 inbound.

Inbound fees have to be supported by all softwares that support sending payments over LN. I wonder how many support that currently.

RTL only provides an interface to "Update Free Policy" where one can set base fee (msat) and fee rate (ppm). I guess that is outbound fees, right?

Then how do I set inbound fees in RTL (I run Core Lightning node with RTL)? My guess is that this is not supported in RTL because inbound fees are something that only LND supports and Core Lightning does not, right?

Are inbound fees in the LN protocol? That is, are they part of the channel fees gossip? I guess the answer is "no". If that is the case, then how do senders know about inbound fees when creating the payment routes?

This will scare the state even more imho, not good /s

Amazing write up.

Sadly it's hard for people to be real about law these days because it can offend the masses who want to interpret law based on politics.

Won’t removing the op_return cap definitely remove upward fee market pressure by allowing transferors (who would have otherwise needed to use multiple or more complex transactions) to send all their arbitrary data a single transaction with a single output?

Assuming people who have been using witness data discount will continue to do so.

Murch for president.

Isn't this why they need it to be standard though? Because those transactions need to be reliable and can't afford to wait for friendly miner which may take longer than the thief.

Gathering of spirits — good one.
