Buck is also on nostr 😁. Looking forward to the new year chat! View quoted note →

Are there any relay implementations that have NIP-44 support? The NIP04 standard says it's been deprecated in favor of 44 but there don't seem to be any relays that support the favored one.

If you're in Austin TX this week for SXSW or the Bitcoin Takeover, join us at the Bitcoin Commons this Thursday for Austin Bitdevs! We're breaking our long running streak of the third Thursday of the month to take advantage of a busy week of Bitcoin events here in the Bitcoin capital of the world in the Lone Star state!

*(Note: If you can't make it up the building, ping someone on the [Telegram](https://t.me/+ekA74WGJ7ndkN2Yx) group!)* Another Socratic discussion ...

fun fact: looks like npm utilizes 402 status codes in responses if you try and publish to a private package! (no lightning/L402 support though 😔)

Good walk-thru as well of how we as a community that are custodians of an open, decentralized, and immensely valuable protocol need to have reasonable expectations. Lightning didn’t fix all of bitcoin’s problems, but it also was necessary to get the MVP out, in no small part b/c deploying proof of concept is how we learn. We should look towards the future with the same clear-eyed practicality. View quoted note →
