Renewed screeching about people using Casey’s envelopes to put data on chain is nauseatingly boring. Stop being Bitcoin redcoats and get over it

Ubuntu is a shitcoin, dunno why everyone uses it as 'default Linux', change my mind; Fedora, Debain or Alpine are the three to go for from shiny-newness to most boring and stable. Honourable mention for FreeBSD as the so-stable-you-turn-it-on-and-it's-still-running-four-years-later option. View quoted note →

The moral of @Jameson Lopp ‘s testnet drama is that it’s probably sensible to support all the test networks as you never know which is going to rug when 😂 (Though wen TBTC flipping BSV? Currently BSV at $64, TBTC at $0.63)

Been thinking about this a bit -- *perhaps*, one of the reasons Lightning has taken so long is that we're only just realising how important the LSP component is. Wallets/nodes that work with a LSP are so much easier to run and use for non-dev and non-in-it-as-a-business people. Even as a dev, I'm fairly hesitant to sign myself up for the maintenance effort of running a normal Lightning node. Things like Phoenix, @ZEUS, Phoenixd and @OpenSecret (mutiny server soon! 👀) are just so much easier to work with than "just" run LND/Eclair/C-Lightning/LDK-Node etc. Is the logical conclusion that for Lightning node-running to become prolific, LSPs (or more accurately, a way for nodes to 'buy' inbound from and get channels with others) have to become an inherent part of the Lightning protocol? Feels like it to me. View quoted note →
