Read about the future beyond Lightning with Enigma. I've updated the article with feedback from the community. The Enigma Network and how this impacts Lightning and makes us less reliant on it. A blurb about Sapio, a frontend for Core to make things fun
Don’t know if I’ve encountered in my 10 years in Bitcoin an idea that has me as restless as
@Polyd_
’s Enigma Network.
No concept has ever challenged my mental model the way this one does.
Dumbfounded by its implications and humbled in my cognitive abilities.
A true Black Swan.

Next update
The Enigma Network. This new Network is deterministic, on-chain, has automatic pooling with asynchronous payments, and as collaboration increases both scaling and privacy increases. You can create as many channels at once or close as many at once, privately.

Equality means everyone is ignored equally. Shoving your drama into everyone else's face isnt how you win people and make friends. Dont care about your past, don't care about how you feel. Do you have good character? Good. Do you have a hard work ethic? Even better. Rest is noise

Good news! The WHO was forced into a backdown over IHR amendments in Geneva yesterday, with Botswana, on behalf of its 47 African region members, saying they would withhold support for the reforms. Brazil also said it would exit the WHO altogether rather than submit to them. 🙏

I was mad about this until I saw Owen's comment
"Sad state of affairs that there aren’t enough monetary transactions willing to pay more than *checks notes* $3.50 to outbid these guys."
💀 That cuts deep. We barely have any real blockspace demand.

just wrote two lengthy essays on
the tradeoffs of Timeout-Trees
and tradeoffs of CTV
They have chatgpt written all over them. Arguments i've only heard chatgpt say. All wordsmithing with no substance.
people asking ChatGPT about CTV is going to be an unending source of grief and hilarity. 😒

People should make dryers that use miners in lieu of resistive heaters.
There's also the natural gas capturing units that both reduce methane pollution and don't consume any energy from the grid.
People don't even know yet. Bitcoin consumes like 0.01%? I want 20%.

For UTXO consolidation, people recommend .01 BTC. or a million sats. This is for both on-chain UTXO size and also minimum lightning channel size. This is also the typical payout size for pools.
Cool thumb rule, but all I see is this meme

We know so little about what they knew.
But this is what we do know.
They can machine vases to a precision that we would have trouble matching today.
They can build pyramids that rival the accuracy of our GPS satellites.

This is why I find the filtooors dangerous. They only want to add filters to Core to have an objective reason that "filters are being bypassed" and attempt firing miners. This is a suicide cult and I will not participate. The mempool does not control consensus. Consensus does.
@s8gmz6b5d7
Update filters -> Bitmain respects? Great
Update filters -> Bitmain disrespects?

James O'Beirne made vaults with CTV but wished for further functionality and made OP_VAULT, however it still uses CTV itself for the withdrawal process.
Salvatore Ingala, the creator of MATT (Merkelize All The Things), intends to include OP_CTV in his spec for OP_CCV.

Probably shouldn't have this in your bip abstract if you don't want the comparison
> In Bip300, txns are not signed via cryptographic key. Instead, they are "signed" by hashpower, over time. Like a big multisig, 13150-of-26300, where each block is a new "signature"

i can do 1tb for 40 bucks but your statement lacks nuance since you very well know that economic scales are at play with pricing. I can do a 8tb for 130 which is cheaper than 2c for 1gb

The time for "campaigning" for changes to

is over. With Bitcoin becoming the new reserve asset for the world, there must be a higher standard for any proposed changes. Value to the protocol must be first demonstrated with functioning prototypes bearing commercial use.

What if we can envision on a version of Hal Finney's Banks that we can all come to love? Instead of the banks being money transmitters, they're data transmitters that have no possibility of stealing the money.
