What the hell did I just watch?
Years ago I said if we hit 50k I'd spend some of my old tipjar (currently powering my Lightning node) on a decent coffee machine for those 5:30am Lightning calls.
So, now I'm testing https://hodlhodl.com/join/2WQA for selling some BTC; face-to-face trades in Adelaide could take a while though!

Bitcoin Optech newsletter #139 is here:
- summarizes continued discussion about proposed methods for activating taproot
- links to an effort to document existing software building on top of taproot
- summarizes the "Erlay: bandwidth-efficient transaction relay protocol" Bitcoin Core PR Review Club meeting

Here's a proof that I own a taproot output on signet height 14344 without revealing which one it is. This makes use of bare pubkeys in taproot and libsecp256k1-zkp ring signatures. Pushed the PoC code here https://github.com/jonasnick/taproot-ringsig

These last 2 weeks answering noob questions abt #bitcoin has re-balanced my empathy levels to stupid questions
PPL ARE LAZY AF, but that’s just how they were brought up.Can’t let that make me annoyed and be ready to just re-explain the same thing in 10x different ways 100x times

Here's where I put it for now.

Bitcoin Consensus and Solidarity:
https://rusty.ozlabs.org/?p=620
I deleted a much more technical post, because it derives from this base idea: that consensus is vital but unverifiable. Our only defense is to have our signalling be open, broadly-based and sustained.
Met someone today who sold all their BTC and Eth last week. Hey, good on them, they profited.
The idea that Bitcoin portends a fundamental shift, vs just an investment which has appreciated in value, is still very niche. (Though this view makes sense if it's all "crypto" to you).
TIL I have just over 1M sats in lntipbot.
I used my previous tips to power my lightning node, but that's all good. What should I spend these on? Just lntip everyone?
