Watchtower PR is now merged into lnd: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/3133 Future iterations on the concept will introduce more public modes of operation, which could have incentive models like ecash tokens to compensate for operational costs. For now we have simple breach monitor redundancy.

Anyone have any formal comments for the UK gov? What kind of Orwellian dystopia thinks this is OK?
Thanks @stephanlivera for your interview with @samourai_official, a very informative discussion on the Samourai team's Dojo, Whirlpool and other cool projects.

@christinabahk Hi! coding on the android app is still moving along, hoping to have a testnet beta out this summer 🤞

Just a day after Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed turning the Post Officie into a bank for poorer Americans, the U.S. Postal Service reported losing $2.1 billion in just three months. Yikes.

@christinabahk for small-ish amounts (it's still in beta) I use @samourai_official, mainly because I like the direction the team is going and want to keep an eye on it
An interesting look into CryptoCapital, shows the lengths (often shady) custodial exchanges have to go to to manage their fiat:

#Whirlpool mixes have 100% entropy, 0 deterministic links, never use a prev tx >1x in the inputs, and no "unmixed change". Free ride as long as you want to reach desired anonymity set.🏃🏻♂️🌀🌪️😎 Unfairly fast & unfairly inexpensive. Implementations: GUI, CLI, & #SamouraiWallet

Excited to see the first Whirlpool transaction hitting mainnet. Every Whirlpool transaction is 100% max possible entropy, 100% max wallet efficiency, with 0 deterministic links. Every. single. time. https://oxt.me/transaction/a554db794560458c102bab0af99773883df13bc66ad287c29610ad9bac138926
Some interesting stuff on formal code verification, I wonder if it can be applied some day to improve #Bitcoin crypto libraries:
