1) Update on what we're doing with lightning: In the next few weeks, we will be releasing an alpha version of our wallet with lightning integrated. We have been using LDK and the wallet itself will run a hosted lightning node based on LDK. #Lightning #Bitcoin

The way a statechain takes raw UTXOs and mint them into standardized units (fixed-denomination UTXOs) is similar to turning raw gold into gold coins. The digital equivalence of coinage. Absolute genius. Maybe, just maybe, the Lydian moment for Bitcoin. 1/

@BobMcElrath @lopp @ViktorBunin @starkness @RyanTheGentry @davidmarcus @stonecoldpat0 @therealkingonly @udiWertheimer @mercury_wallet read the blinded schnorr protocol from @mercury_wallet , i like it! the preimages to nonce commitments are only revealed to the receiver. that is a very neat trick! while the sender could technically learn the server key s1 in blind sig, but then the receiver will reject it.

Regarding @mercurylayer 's integration of an HSM with Intel SGX, it's key to note that while our protocol design allows every virtual UTXO owner to cryptographically confirm their ownership, the use of an HSM is not essential but an added security measure. In the realm of

New wallet release: . This version is now required to participate in swaps - previous version will no longer be able to register coins for swaps (this is due to a bug in some older version that were causing groups to fail).
