Ready to ship! The test suite is particularly great, it can run a simulation of nodes and a realy for end-to-end testing. Build your own fancy protocol today.

gm nostr What are the top priorities for improving Bitcoin today? My naive list is: * Increased adoption of lightning (more wallets). * More compelling lightning-enabled services. * More nodes, lottery miners, and heater miners in homes. * Migration of important financial products onto bitcoin as a standard, for greater bitcoin adoption and increased transaction fee revenue. * Better developer education, on-boarding and tooling (to build more interesting startups). What am I missing?

Can someone sell me on why running an ecash mint is better than a vanilla custodial lightning service? - Each ecash transaction must go through the mint to change hands, so the server can see everything and strongly correlate your payments anyway. - You have to backup and store your coins or they are forever lost. The mint can backup your state, but that further strengthens the above. - You have to use an ecash wallet instead of just a vanilla lightning wallet. A custodial wallet can have zero state, while an ecash wallet has to manage a lot of state. An ecash mint also has to bridge lightning payments if other users want to pay in lightning. The plus side I guess is that the mint doesn't have to worry about strict accounting, while a custodial lightning server does. And there is some privacy benefits, but it's a complex subject and far from anonymous. Please help me understand the use-case for ecash. I don't care about politics or the regulatory bogeyman, I just want to throw up a custodial wallet service that does its job with minimal friction. I want to have great user experience and ease of deployment (for others to fork my service).

The nostr note is a great message format. You can create any kind of protocol that you want with it.

Fuggg this nostr social media thing is popping off. I need to finish frostr so folks don't get one-shotted by a compromised npub. Had a bunch of personal stuff come up, plus my day job takes precedence, so work on open source projects has been slow. And y'all haven't even begun talking about quantum-resistant npubs and npub hashing. Fugggg we are not ready to take on the world's social media refugees. Posting to hold myself accountable. Have to get back to work on this stuff ASAP.

Austin is so beautiful.

gm nostr A friend talked me into re-installing Instagram. Everything about it sucked. The app is a dumpster fire. I'd rather just post stuff here anonymously. Days go by, passion project nostr apps are getting better, their fiat counterpart get worse and worse. Future is bright!
