Interesting, thanks for pointing it out! It's a clever way to take the fee, although it has the drawback of not being atomic. But then if a merchant blocks the payment of the fee to Flash, they can terminate this merchant's account, and they can no longer use the service.
IIRC LNBits circumvented this by intercepting invoices before handing them to LND, and processing "to-self" invoices separately as database-only transfers. But it would indeed be nice if LND had it baked in, instead of everybody that has a use case for it reimplementing the feature.
Okay, 3 things:
- that's probably one of the best written FAQ I've ever read. Answers every question in an absolutely unequivocal fashion, and directly addresses questions that users are the most likely to ask first
- congrats for taking this path. It'll have its challenges, but Cowboy Credits might be the glue that make it work for everyone in the end, and I'm really interested in watching how it unfurls
- Nov. 5th is a very, very good choice of date for such a release.
Cowboy hats off!
I guess it depends on how much actual mint-to-mint transactions there are. If there are a lot, then audits are hidden in the crowd. Else, what you describe is indeed possible.
And yes, Bolt12's receiver privacy probably fixes this 🫡
By "blind", I mean that a mint doesn't know which user an ecash token "belongs" to. If they weren't blind, mints could always honor withdrawal requests from identified auditors, thus appearing trustworthy while rugging other users.
In other words, it works because a mint can either rug everyone, or rug no one. They can not rug one user in particular.
Also, some of the documentary's points on scalability were quite weird. Like when it stated something along the lines of "now, you can make everyday payments on Bitcoin, but only through companies that take a cut on each payment" ; and then hinting that it may have been Blockstream's secret master plan all along.
That's not how Lightning works ; and I didn't expect such Bilderberg-ish conspiracy theories to be dropped like that in an HBO documentary.
TL;DR:
- Kia didn't properly protect its endpoint for registering new dealers, allowing anyone to register as a car dealer
- with dealer privilege, you can access a car's owner personal details from Kia's API, using only their vehicle's VIN, which can be derived from their license plate
- you can even revoke their ownership of the vehicle, and put yourself as owner instead. Being owner means you can unlock, lock, or even start the car from the Kia app. You basically just stole the car, and there was no notification alerting the actual owner.
No go read the full thing, it's pretty well-written.
No worries, you always discover a myriad of bugs when you first open the thing to more people 😅Good that issues stem from too many users, that's a cool problem to have!
Looks good, congrats on the launch!
FYI, I'm having issues signing up with LNURL, using Phoenix on a phone and PREDYX on a computer. I'm getting a 401 on the
auth/me endpoint.Here's a website called "world debt in bitcoin"
the website:
(yes, I know it's probably a work in progress, but it falls so much into the cliché that US Americans conflate their country with the whole world that I couldn't help but find it amusing)
Nope: the French parliament has two chambers (Assemblée Nationale and Sénat). The President can only dissolve the Assemblée Nationale, and hence French people are only going to reelect this "half" of the Parliament (the Assemblée has 577 members, the Sénat 348).
It happened from time to time under the 5th Republic in France. Last occurence was Chirac in 1997. So yeah, kinda of a big deal.
Note that France is a bicameral system where the Parliament has two chambers: the Assemblée Nationale ("national assembly", which Macron just dissolved) and the Sénat (senate). The Assemblée Nationale can dismiss the government, and reciprocally the President can dissolve the Assemblée Nationale. But the Sénat remains unchanged.
This post made me hungry so I sliced myself a few of this bad boys. This is around 110 grams of cheese (about 1.5x the daily average consumption according to the above study).

(mandarine for scale, but might eat is as well)
PS: if you have questions about French cheeses feel free to ask them below, I'll try to answer throughout the day 🧀
