I can't find a single place that accepts Bitcoin anywhere 100mi around where I am, so yes, we need more merchants.
This is very very interesting.
Don't you think it should be more structured? To enable easy parsing and aggregation later?
Also the name "pricestr" is great for a brand name, but if you want this to become a community effort I think the actual tag should be something more neutral, like just "price" maybe.
Hey, sorry for the late reply, but it didn't work: https://github.com/fiatjaf/bisu/issues/1#issuecomment-1445187731
This seems to fix the main issue: https://github.com/fiatjaf/bisu/pull/2
But it introduces one new issue.
I'll recover that, and export it so people can keep using their keys on @dolu's app.

Coinpools are those things you need two complicated new opcodes to implement and even then they still basically do not work as you need every member of the thing to be online for anyone else to transact?

Maybe no one uses Liquid because
- it's trust model is worse
- there is basically no tooling or software support because it is seem as a Blockstream thing, not a community thing
- it doesn't actually provide privacy out-of-the-box, you need someone to host a coinjoin pool inside and there are none -- whereas the zSide sidechain would automatically be that perfect ongoing coinjoin with no overhead, cheap fees and great UX
- because you have to do KYC on an exchange to withdraw

You're telling me that there will be a 51% mining cartel attack that will last for multiple months without individual miners moving to other pools and that it will be aggressively reorging out any block that doesn't vote along with them -- but without Drivechain everything would be ok in Bitcoin land?
