It's so ridiculous that we're even in a place where Congress has to allow something like this.

shiiiiiit

AI post analysis says I'm Chaotic Neutral but I'm actually Lawful Neutral because I follow my own constitution which I don't advertise.

we were all witness to it, sn has a long memory.

A great idea and great opportunity. Bravo.

Oh no. Darth called me a shitcoiner again because I'm polite to new people. Whatever will I do?

Sorry Darth, I'm not going to be a prick to people I disagree with just because you think I should.

I'd much rather somone learn why shitcoins are bad rather than chase them off immediately.

You've made your position clear on how you feel about me, and honestly I don't give a fuck. I've gone out of my way to be polite to you, but as far as I'm concerned from this point on I'm just ignoring you.

Later gator.

Operations at scale.

Things change drastically with scale, but the underlying problems are kinda the same.

It's still the hardest thing we do every day: making sure our service is stable, managing our liquidity, debugging Lightning issues, handling support. It's tough but we love it at the same time 🧡

It is certainly great for bootstrapping a new node, but in our case we never used liquidity ads as, probably due to the service we are offering via our Lightning nodes, we got enough channels being opened to us.

I imagine they were just guessing at the "correct" answer, rather than thinking about it. They would be correct, as far as most of our macro models are concerned.

Doge is dead. Fire up the printers. I appreciate the effort and cutting any waste and fraud is good but they were never going to make a real dent in the deficit without cutting entitlements.

Well you came to the right place. We are working on doing exactly that - combining Ark with LN 🔥

People tend to not open their wallet when receiving a payment lol

When I expect to receive money in a particular moment, why wouldn't you look at the receiving wallet? But this was an issue haunting us, we actually had a canned response "Please open Phoenix" at some point. Now this is luckily largely fixed with mobile notifications.

We don't offer swaps involving Tether and with regards to Liquid's L-BTC, well it simply enables use cases that are not possible with onchain Bitcoin. But we see your point that Liquid doesn't have the same properties as Lightning as it's not featuring unilateral exit.

We can certainly explore ways to help users understand trade-offs better, similar to how https://www.bitcoinlayers.org does.

Also, the new layers we are working on do feature unilateral exit and we are very excited about the use cases one can build with it. Namely with Ark.

Hopefully they'll remember all my based logic when they take their macro classes

Yes it is! But you need to create a new keyset to do this

You can create a keyset from an existing nsec or a new one. A keyset is a set of FROSTR "shares" (basically like keys in a multisig) and you need a threshold of these shares to sign a valid note (you choose the threshold)

These shares in the set are inherently interconnected so if you have a 2/3 and you want to make it a 3/5 you need to DESTROY the old 2/3 keyset (or at least the threshold of shares in that keysey) and then CREATE a new 3/5 keyset (with the same nsec)

TLDR;

Trying to finish 2 back-to-back manuscripts with collaborators in Texas. www.overleaf.com has really come a long way for collaborative tex file editing... Gone are the days of duplicate files in Dropbox due to syncing issues.

For sure Chaotic Good.

Do you have an opinion on liquidity ads?

Crypto is so dead. All those failed narratives and the use case they have landed on is USD and a savings account.
