Are you familiar with boltz?
People use liquid to re-balance their lightning channels
Who invented proof of work?
Have you read the white paper from October 31, 2008?
Look at the footnotes and bibliography for the white paper
Yes, I'm familiar with Boltz, I love their product and the guys behind it are pretty awesome.
But that's not the scope of this post, I'm not talking about usability but trustlessness.
reply
Boltz uses liquid for swaps

That's not enough to call it scaling solution.
I wouldn't have my money in it for more than 24 hours, and pf course it's not "The backbone of the global financial system of the future."
About the proof of work thing, you can look at all the other references made in the whitepaper and suspect that any of those people are Satoshi as well.
Satoshi made an incredible trustless thing on his own with all the available tools he had at the moment, Adam couldn't make something that scaled Bitcoin trustlessly with millions of dollars and a team of engineers.
reply
I’m not saying Adam invented bitcoin.
I’m saying he invented proof of work which Satoshi incorporated.
Have you seen the email correspondence between Adam and Satoshi?
reply
Yes, I have, I've been obsessed with Bitcoin as much as any other bitcoiner for years, but I'm failing to understand what does it have to do with anything.
reply
You’re the one who wrote Adam is not Satoshi.
You brought it up.
I never said Adam invented bitcoin
reply
Because it is one thing that people use to justify Liquid as an "L2" as if being "ethical" was some kind of silver bullet that will justify all technical shortcomings and bogus claims.
reply
Ethical in what context?
I don’t understand what context you are referring to
Are you implying that Adam is not technical and lacks credibility?
