If I understand this correctly, a channel close will now be able to deposit coins into a Silent Payments address instead of an easily traceable address that I've already used ?
Fact, it was not for regulatory reasons.

And fake news, the reason is technical in nature.

This is why LLMās shouldnāt run on helpdesks. They hallucinate answers.
I wish this was a combination of https://Lightning.video, https://zap.stream, https://tunestr.io and https://flare.pub.
The problem with forcing a user to host a video on YT is that it keeps āfeeding the beastā. And the problem of forcing users to upload their content to all these separate hosting platforms is that it time consuming.
Most simply choose YT for sheer convenience. I donāt blame them.
So this idea is quite good, but it should add some more steps:
- Every video is downloaded from YT
- And automatically seeded on #nostr or #DHT (Torrent) based platforms for future reference.
This way we break the cycle of needing YT because āthatās where all videos areā and āhosting is easy via YT.ā
I remember some years ago that I got an email in Japanese (I thought it was Chinese, I was wrong) on an old email address that I don't use anymore.
I wanted to discard it as a SPAM mail, but it turned out to come from the Mt Gox lawyers who wanted to know if/how much they owe me.
Some years ago, I saw a wallet called Spark that let you generate a QR-code to view in your Apple Wallet and Apple Watch Wallet. It was for receiving over lightning, not sending.
I guess with unified BIP21 QR-codes, anyone can already add a RECEIVING wallet code to Apple Wallet today.
I don't think Apple want's to be the middle man in receiving Bitcoin payments though because ātaintedā coins exist in the C-suite mind, and they would rather not receive and handle those.
But Jack Mallers recently told me he wants to integrate Apple Pay into Strike, so who knows, something similar will exist soon.
I have no questions I just want to tell you that Iām a happy paying Kagi user and also a user of FastGPT š š
Keep up the good work.
Maybe in a year or two we will look back at this a realize it was the biggest thing that happened in bitcoin in 2024.
Just make all small transactions forcibly to Lightning. Only when the user wants to go on-chain, let him when he sees and agrees to the fee at that time.
I donāt think small blocks won. Blocks are currently almost 4 mb. We used to have 1mb blocks.
I would say big-ish blocks won.
As an example of a big block, see: https://mempool.space/nl/block/00000000000000000000e37d10aa5a5ece8dba4a20f011280ae3d1880414ff7e
Did you know that you could run LND+Neutrino on your phone, simply by using the Breez lightning wallet š ?
There is an app already that allowed this on android. I think itās called ABCore. Iāve run it some years back on my work Android A52 š¤
There are days where Iām working most of those 8 hours.
There are other days where I donāt even get to 4 productive hours.
Some days you just donāt feel like working and other days you do.
Most easy way that requires no programming or IT skills I know of is https://www.blot.im
Itās $4 per month š
