This is cool. It's basically an implementation of the Liquity protocol from the EVM world but on bitcoin. Sovryn has something similar (they call it Zero) on the rootstock sidechain.

Isn't that a wallet? I know there are plenty of wallets. I'm looking for apps where you can use lightning.

Right, but that's mobile only afaik.

I've seen it, I'm not convinced that there is any significant activity.

It doesn't even look like bitmask, which IIRC was the most popular/user friendly wallet for RGB, is actively maintained: https://github.com/diba-io/bitmask-core/

Cool, but does anyone actually use RGB?

This is the real answer.

I assume he's talking about the client-side ZKPs that can be used to sync/verify a node very quickly, not something at the protocol level.

I think he's wondering if ZKPs could be used to speed up the scanning process, not for sending/receiving.

Alabama and Mississippi are reversed on the US map there.

Ok, found the answer: https://twitter.com/BitwiseInvest/status/1757813223536103568

tl;dr: they're upgrading to native segwit.

Too bad it barely works :/

Looks like it's got a bridge for BTC, so I assume they will.

I don't think it should, you're just making an update to @k00b's database

If you buy a share of coinbase you're exposed to coinbase's business rather than just bitcoin.

And you verified that?

Also called "zk rollups". @lightcoin_ does a good job of explaining here: https://lightco.in/2023/12/13/lightning-validia-rollups/

Until we have validity rollups I think we'll see an increasing number of new users choosing to keep their coins in custodial services (and not even good ones, probably just Coinbase, etc).

Why not?
