β€œThe newsletter recap also covers an update to Greg Sanders' work on LN Symmetry, which was initially reported over 100 newsletters ago. The work has been rebased, and a new client implementation for Cygnet is available. Anchor bumping is improved, and transactions can be expedited using PayToAnchor. LN Symmetry would allow multiple participants in a Lightning channel, which would improve cost efficiency and liquidity. One potential benefit of LN Symmetry is the reduction in required storage for LN nodes. With LN Symmetry, backups become much simpler because you only need to keep the latest state.”

Exciting!!! Waiting for LN symmetry to be released!

I'm rather sure that LN Symmetry/eltoo needs either APO from BIP-118 for the backups to become simpler, or as said in the update on delving, some combination of CSFS with a covenant opcode, like CTV. I think that everything else for eltoo is in, except any of the needed supported protocol extensions? (Don't take my word on this, I may have missed something.)

Maybe it's time to point those datacenters full of miners you bought at the LNHANCE activation client πŸ˜˜πŸ€“

For defeating the final boss, yes. But it comes at the cost of no more penalty, I think?

Belize City seems a lot nicer and safer than it did when I first visited 30 years ago.

We just had a short stay in and around Belize City. We saw some Mayan ruins. I spent time there many years ago on Caye Caulker. I always wanted to retire there, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Saved, and keeping, a female kitten that lost her family and subsequently lost her friend of the same age on an highway.

She is terrified but I gave her a cozy warm room, nice food and toys. My other cat thinks I'm having an affair, but they'll be friends I'm sure.
Don't know what to name her!

Good Weekend to all! remember, we need to fuck the banks first.

reply

unfortunately tooooo maaaany people pretending to be bitcoiners, love fiat.
So we have to fuck these first.

It's unbelievable that we have the tools (BTC+LN) to literally remove fiat, liberate the humanity and waste time in scams.

@DarthCoin claims to be 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' yet here on Stacker News he cannot be bothered to attach LN sending and receiving wallets and use sats instead of CC shitcoins.

@DarthCoin explains his blatant hypocrisy by saying 'CC always work, sometimes LN doesn't'.

Sounds like fiat banker statist apologist, certainly not a serious Bitcoiner.

Because @Darthcoin refuses to attach LN wallets you cannot zap him sats- he can only receive CC shitcoins and he can only send CC shitcoin. He never uses sats and never uses LN here on Stacker News....but still claims to be 'living on The Bitcoin Standard'.

Yeah right!

@DarthCoin is a bad joke and a hypocrit.

Does anyone know who this complete and utter clown really is?

Seems not.

Lol @Darthcoin just spent 102 CC shitcoins to silence my comment.

Do it again @DarthCoin and again and again!

Go boy go!

Keep paying to silence the truth that you cannot refute @DarthCoin.

So good for you to contribute to the SNs economy even if it is just slinging inferior CC shitcoins- it seems that's probably about the best you can do.
