How do I use it to follow a specific pubkey? Like jack's account?
What's the best client for windows/android?
I tried astral ninja but it consistently leaks memory and crash.
It depends on where you live. A white American/West European already has the most freedom of financial access compared to the rest of the world. Good banking, least amount of inflation (again, vs the rest of the world).
You don't need fuck you money unless your financial privileges are fucked.
I have no issue explaining the goals of Bitcoin to anyone in my third world country, even my retired, non-tech parents. They do have doubt about the actual ability to pull off such goals but not the design choices like limited supply or dismissal of trusted third party.

I send command to the bot from PC, wipe out my phone and copy paste the invoice, then back to my PC to view the images. Not fast while tripping.
If you somehow make the bot work with voice command it would be even more insane (@‿@)
From my understanding, it's a DDoS attack that must be executed during a high fee event.
Attackers create multiple LN channels before the attack, bait people to route balance in the channel from them, then wait until a congestion happen and double spend their balance.
This will force their honest LN partners to force close the channels, at the cost of 1 onchain tx per partner, during a congestion.
The code can be independently verified. The BTC blockchain can be audited all the way back to the genesis block. That's the whole point of it: any individual can verify, not trust.
There's nothing verifiable in the Bible, or any other religious scripture.
Recently I read about Fedimints which proposes a more realistic scenario imo.
- Instead of 1 household - 1 node, a group of X friends maintain Y nodes (X>Y).
- The nodes are maintained by the tech savvy households (trusted Federation setup). Could be friends, could be employee/employer.
- This strikes a middleground between holding your own key and trusting one bank to manage your money.
Yeah I'm not sold on optimistic rollup after the Arbitrum fee incident. However some people I follow on Twitter seems excited with Starkware (and they are working with HRF) so I want to verify with other Bitcoiners about Starkware's implementation as well.
The problem is much deeper than shitcoin users.
Shitcoin creators, specifically Ethereum, maintain a huge marketing department. Their shills did crazy amout of reputation damage to Bitcoin. BTC development was set back years by the bcash incident (which was endorsed by no other than Buterin).
And I expect even more attack after they switch to PoS.
People thought XRP was the #1 banker coin, but in reality the JP Morgan coin is way more successful. The establishment got in earlier than anyone expected and you would be delusional to think they pose no significant threat.
Mining pool centralized on cheap energy, which by itself is decentralized. Especially when renewable getting more popular, they need to dump that energy somewhere during non-peak hour.
