I’m learning about Nostr,m and how it can help us to shear opinions and the rapid development there

A nice thing about lightning is that its "live" so if you for example used something and saw they accepted Bitcoin donations, who knows when they put that on-chain adress up there? who knows if they still control it. With lightning your payment will most likely fail if the reciever isnt able to actually recieve it. So less chance of wasting money u could argue.

Reached a stacking goal today. If I was a few weeks earlier and more tenacious I could have avoided the recent run up. Oh well, I made it anyway.

Little by little, slow and steady my savings is adding up. Also, thank you anyone who has tipped me on here. You've not only helped but made this whole space feel more alive than ever.

May you all have a beautiful rest of your day and stack them sats!

Just excited to announce I just got done implementing the first message of the hidden service chat protocol, client sends encrypted route request message to the introducer, introducer wraps it in the reply onion. The hidden service can now send a "ready" message back to the client, and the bulk of this procedure repeats for the request/response cycle.

While anonymity is a central goal of Indra, hidden services also function as a way to simplify p2p network programming. They function as a new kind of virtual network listener that doesn't leak its location to the network. Primarily they are for anonymity, but the location concealing 4 hop paths are just one layering construction. The messages could be sent in parallel with redundancy with only one intermediate point on each of the paths, and provide an unprecedented capability to users: fast, low latency connections that can survive everything but the absolute worst case doomsday scenario.

The democratising of running servers has been a bee in my bonnet since I got started using the internet. The big boys erect unduly high barriers against us little people doing business on the internet without their permissions and licences. Indra will once and for all end the two class society of internet users.

Anyone else getting a little spooked now? Before it seemed like meme-ing where nothing ever happens but banks looked really fucked now

It is clear as day that not only is the financial system is in duress, the dollar itself is having problems. But there is still significant apathy and distrust toward Bitcoin. It makes me think that mainstream adoption will never happen.
