Ark server going down also doesn't stop the customer from exiting, right? At least in the bark implementation

It's automatic in the background, there are different variants of the solutions here and it's also quite early, so not 100% safe imo

You hit similar issues with large LSP unwinding, etc. Ark may be more pronounced with this.
That's why it's very useful to have exact technical explainers like this, so you can make your own evaluation of the solution.

Wow, there is some big downzapping going on here. For reference I laughed at the video and I think it was well done and quite real. No issue with that from me.

When Ark goes down and folks try to scramble to exit, this will hit them bad, especially on popular Ark. Project opportunity though to have a service that can smooth the exit out in some way...

tru dat.

2-3 months from now. The half-life of attention is now probably like two weeks. So I'd wait for the concentration to decay to less than 5%.

Agreed, it's just added point/clarification on top of Giacomo's.

It again seems like a change done in Core space that does not seem to be having material immediate effect and it's done in an unfortunate time, which then has predictable outcome of lost of some trust, causing more infighting, causing more drama. In this case the bip110ers are busy mea-culping, so it probably won't have such notability, but folks like @giacomozucco will be referencing it for the years to come.

My general framework here (not talking directly about @Murch) is that when a negative reaction/outcome was generally predictable from your action, then you bare responsibility for the negative outcome. Such situation are then a great source of learning and root causing to improve prediction and actions next time.

It's of note that Giacomo was predicting for many months that Luke will be removed as BIP editor.

Just here to say that bitcoin++ videos of talks/presentations are great. I want to see more of those please please.

I appreciate when a smart person makes their best case with a well prepared slide deck.

One thing that surprised me were the numbers. 12k new users in 3 months, that's ~50k per year. That was higher than I expect.

That's very cool 😎 ! Especially IBD and Silent Payments progress.

Ok, I will. Thank you!

I am using it and there's always something. Last issue was 1-2 weeks ago.

Yeah, to make it transparent you would probably have to vibe/build a custom solution. You would have to run a node (at least something like phoenixd) and for example create profile on nostr and publish events about any donation (plus it would also serve as another entrypoint for the donation) and then some monthly summary note. I haven't heard about anything prepackaged for this except for geyser and so it's sad to hear that didn't work out.

Another option is some form of donations page / solution on SN that takes smaller cut. What would be reasonable for you? 10%? @k00b

in my experience coinos tends to be unreliably, sometimes down, sometimes issue with older nwc, etc.

Note that the article is quite outdated. It only essentially reacts to the first day of the effort and yet we are many days later now. I think this publicity is better than "yet another hack steals bitcoin from people's wallets". My guess would be that the effort will probably fizzle out within couple weeks, but I think there will be very impactful outputs found.

I always forget how it's called when I need it. Why is this always so hard to find? I know that I want "the application to create your own version of Tails OS" and it never shows up in any searches. I somehow usually try BTails, because I think it's related to bitcoin, but that's a different thing.
