How come the two most popular secp256k1 implementations in Golang (decred and go-ethereum) are from shitcoins, and LND uses one of them? 🧐
Mhhh, if I really cared, there would be a way to use libsecp256k1 in Golang ...

Sorry, updated my comment after I did some research myself first before asking you, haha
With FFI, you mean this? Never did anything like that, might be a good time now.
According to my research, FFI can also mean "free from infection", haha
Edit: Oh, that's apparently literally what go-ethereum did:
Package secp256k1 wraps the bitcoin secp256k1 C library.

With FFI, you mean [foreign function interface]?
YES!

It's also what all these Rust->Dart repos do; maybe that's a more useful skill these days than C->golang. Lotsa people poop on C and go these days and while optisaur is a C(++) coder that loves doing things in golang (as a python/java replacement), that's probably not a great skillset if you're not close to retirement, especially since all the rust people make promises that are just an .unwrap() away from disaster. But then imagine having Claude or Gemini building you some code with malloc().

I feel that as long as something is foss and it is maintained, we should not care too much about shitcoiners. If it were to force us into ethereum then it would be a different story of course.

OMG with these people nowadays we want bitcoin adoption...
That will never happen. Guys, I am telling you, this world is so fucked up right now that I am not sure if will ever get back from its stupidity. Fucking hell... "Idiocracy" documentary was nothing compared with this madness.

My grandfather gave his kids and grandkids a shot of whiskey if they had a cold. When the kids would complain that it tastes bad, he would say medicine is supposed to taste bad.

I always write what I have in mind. I don't care if is good or bad (from POV of others). It is what it is in my mind.
But yes, sometimes, I take long hiking walks and just think about a subject I want to write. Walking in silence makes you clear your mind from any distractions and focus on the subject, sometimes you see answers that you never thought about before.

buahahaha good meme but I prefer to die than asking shitGPT of anything. That doesn't mean I will not laugh at a "AI generated" funny video.

So you’re like a vegan who eats animals, as long as they die naturally?

LOL WTF is that bullshit? Veganism is dumb, idiotic anyways. People should eat whatever they can and is comestible and give nutrition. We are politicizing too much in our life...
