Hi all,
We released the v0.02 of the CivKit node last week (https://github.com/civkit/civkit-node/releases/tag/v0.0.2), while this is still more a proof-of-concept, we start to have good technical fundamentals, like further nostr specs support, credential framework to pay for scarce resources, Bitcoin Core integration and some of the Mainstay protocol working.
To celebrate and take time to share with the community all our learnings on building a peer-to-peer market, we’ll hold a twitter space this Wednesday 20 December, 6 PM UTC, with all the CivKit paper authors present (Ray Youssef, Nicholas Gregory and Antoine Riard). As a reminder, we released the paper back in https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-April/021556.html and the v0.0.1 release in June (https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-June/thread.html)
Opportunity to us to browse among a bunch of interesting subjects (non-exhaustive):
-The CivKit architecture: BIP / NIP / BOLTs integration
- Building a “Wallet of Satoshi”-like experience for a peer-to-peer market
- “Lightning Dead ?”: the huge security and scalability challenges coming
- L3 Payment solutions
- Ledger Connect-Kit and LN Banks security hacks
- Nostr future challenges: scalability and global shared state consistency
- Building Communities in the Developing World across Meatspace and the Cloud
The Twitter space should be hosted by @nicosey / https://twitter.com/gregory_nico.
In case we can make it happen we’ll warn folks and post-pone to January after the end of year celebrations. Feel free to pin other subjects on this thread, you wanna us to discuss.
We’ll have new devs working on CivKit soon in 2024, starting to build GUI and making all the CivKit ecosystem more like a finished product for non-command line users.
Looking forward to people attending, we’ll take questions from the audience for sure !
Best,
Antoine
