0 sats \ 0 replies \ @ca 13 Nov \ on: ₿ *and* sats? Best of both worlds or not so much? bitcoin
we are headed to a world where we say bitcoin and we write ₿.
'sats' is never going to go mainstream. When bitcoin will be mainstream it will be ₿.

Sure, but be humble with builders. You don't know what you don't know.

Bro develop a bitcoin wallet that a 60-year can use daily without requiring a teenager's help. Just try. Only then, you'll realize how little sense you're making.
Talk is cheap.
You're in this delusion where you think Lightning is simple and usable by the masses.
Build.

As developers, could we have a comparison table with all the tradeoffs of the two implementations?

I consider SegWit a mistake. Eternal tech debt and distorted incentives.
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @ca 28 Oct \ parent \ on: No clear way to run an SSP without a business relationship with LightSpark? bitcoin
If there is no mass adoption anywhere in the next 50 years, bitcoin can be considered dead. It will be condemned to irrelevance, like eMule today.
To reach mass adoption friction and barriers need to improve a lot. Or you'll be the only one still hanging out on stacker news at some point

If smart people are only 10% of the population, Lightning is dead 💀
Great tech is for everyone. Or dies.
Let's see if anything changes with Ark...

Fix the unusable lightning network then :) assuming it is fixable for mass use

Better privacy seems to be on the roadmap

Great recommendations for a kid. You might as well burn the coins yourself. It's much more efficient and it achieves the same result!

Lightning has massive onboarding barriers. Let's not kid ourselves.

I've been waiting for a Bitcoin wallet for 10 years! Finally the very first one has came out!
42 sats \ 0 replies \ @ca 14 Oct \ parent \ on: DISCUSS: saying "hold your own keys" is similar to "run your own email server" bitcoin
I would argue it's more like running an email server.
No other password requires maintenance because he can be forgotten and reset.
Even running an email server is easier than self-custody. Because you can reboot it.

No. You don't need to preserve a password with the same level of thought.
You can:
  1. Lose it and still have access to the website
  2. Reset a regular password
  3. Lose an account that can be recreated with no loss
  4. Call customer support
  5. Only lose data, not money
Wildly different barriers to adoption.

Very different. There is zero downside in losing a password for other stuff. "Reset password".
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @ca 17 Sep \ parent \ on: Nodeless on Spark | Waitlist is now open ⚡️ bitcoin
It's just saying "making it even easier for developers". Generic.
Is the added benefit the fact that you provide bindings for all major languages?
Or does it go beyond that?
Can I already receive an API key and play with Breez+Spark today?
