Knots is not 444. Bitcoin is not Core. Open source. Another client coming soon. Bitcoin chews up our drama and paves the way forward with some approximation of our efforts, regardless of how retarded we may become as humans: +NAK on 444 +Run your node with Knots or Core v28. +Get your fee estimation with wide open client. +Stick to Core for LN, unless small channels. +Mine with JD+SV2 (both!) or Ocean Datum + Datum Prime (unfortunately still closed source) or P2Pool +Always tell the truth, even if you are trying to make a point and win an argument. + Bitcoin forever!

Maybe I'll watch someday how he "refuted LN". So far I'm too skeptical of the claim to even prioritize any verification. LN is basically just the acknowledgment of the following facts: 1) global consensus "blockchains" can't scale (and on top of that they are terrible for privacy, instant UX, MEVil/censorship/spam resistance, etc.), 2) relegating a global consensus "blokchain" to a very slow/expensive last-resort settlement layer, moving most of the economy to local consensus pools, is the only acceptable trade-off considering 1, 3) local consensus pools to realize 2 which require less trust (ie: Poon-Dryja channels) are safer but more expensive (in terms of money, time and UX) than local consensus pools to realize 2 with require more trust (ie: Finney-style credit), 4) we don't really have to chose a single answer to 3, since different local consensus pools can use different security/cost trade-offs, including a rich scale of greys between the two extremes (eg: credit->cashu->fedi->liquid->spark->ark->dryja-poon), 5) the rich patchwork of local consensus pools emerging from 4 would be messy and unusable without a single, global, unified language for invoicing and for swapping/hopping across pools: the Lightning Network. Fin. Not much to refute here.

Progress is steady towards P2TR channels on LN which will help with the goals of privacy and lower cost channels, as well as opening doors to future features, and we are ~6 years post P2TR's BIP. LN itself was proposed 7 years post BTC genesis. Hopefully next year it's all P2TR.

Bitcoin L1 limitations are known since James A. Donald's email in 2008. Not much new or intersting since. Scaling in trusted banks for smaller amounts, with trustless settlements, was the obvious Finney-style answer to that: with all its flaws it's clearly better than the alternative of delegating *all* validity to trusted miners with gargantuan blocks users can't stay in sync with (magic "SPV" was Satoshi's initial alternative to this trust assumption, but it proved unfeasible, it may become feasible in the future with ZK magic). Scaling with local offchain UTxO sharing with unilateral exit, plus a global network of atomic swaps to bridge these shards, was the great idea that improved things: way better than Finney option. The first production-ready iteration of trustless UTxO-sharing scheme, the bilateral Dryja-poon channel, is kinda OK for symmetric offchain settlement among business, but still suffers from onchain limitations (clearly stated in the LN white paper since the very beginning) and has pretry bad UX for last-mile users and onboarding (only very good LN companies like Acinq manage to give good UX there). New trustless UTxO-sharing schems are better for those use cases: instant state-chain-style onboarding, mass finality with just one small onchain tx, blockspace-fee-sharing among many more than just 2 users, etc. More trustless pool models may emerge. Still useless for payments so small they are unenforceable onchain: in those cases banks, or hybrids between banks and trustless pools (like statechains or HSM-based federations) are still the only alternative. Onchain, dryjapoons, arks, statechains, HSM-chains, and chaumian mints are all used together, in the same global in voicing - swapping network: LN. Sztork failed to present other options, except for a miner-custody scheme with all the weaknesses of Finney banks and of Satoshi pseudo-SPV trust model combined. His proposal faded into irrelevance and has zero chances to be even tried in the foreseeable future. Nothing new, or relevant.

Bitcoin doesn’t have a privacy issue by design. We do. As long as KYC ties identities to full transaction histories, the soul of Bitcoin is at risk. The antidote? Use privacy tools like Aqua swaps, Coinjoin, or RoboSats. Run your own node. Pay with LN. One of my fav 🧡 https://t.co/4np0AbNx5u

I agree. I was there, in Greenville, when DATUM+LN-share-market development efforts, to help all miners propose their own block templates and to reduce custodianship surface in pools, were announced, and so many indeed screeched "censorship", mostly due to nonsense from Scamourai and Retardinals. Now we are back to that, with "distributed authoritarianism" accusations against developers proposing to let users and miners keep the mempool policies of Core V29 for their templates, instead of auto-switching to those of Core V30. Pretty surreal.

The very same board member of OCEAN officially confirmed to you he's not speaking on behalf of OCEAN. His business idea/plan is about Barefoot mining. OCEAN'S idea and business plan is all about DATUM and the LN share market, it has nothing to do with mempool policies, which are selected freely by the DATUM users. As an insider, I know very well Bob was pretty critical/skeptical since the beginning about the perceived overlap between OCEAN's battle against mining centralization, which is part of Barefoot mission as well, and Luke's/Knot's battle against spam attacks, or the larger movement of reaction to Core's crisis of methodology and trust. Of course the two interact (the main direct interaction was limited to the very first days of OCEAN operativity, when Luke's node was the only one available to pick templates from, immediately joined by other options, including standard Core, and now completely superseded with DATUM), but your equivocation betrais a deep misunderstanding of what OCEAN is even about.

Quick recap of all my RGB involvment: 1) Todd's idea of "client-side-validation" for Bitcoin, which I listened to for the first time in 2016 while I was MCing Scaling Bitcoin, is very cool (more privacy&scalability), but unlikely to be useful for real sats anytime soon (no viable trustless peg-out mechanism yet), and it comes with heavy UX trade-offs (online to receive, backup needed after receiving): https://t.co/BnLkbsDbpB 2) Since LN already has *strictly worse* UX trade-offs (online periodically to avoid fraud, dangerous backup restore), we can leverage our LN tools to make that idea work: RGB is the two things combined; and we can have shitcoiners testing it with shitcoins until we have a solution for real sats ("RGBTC"): https://t.co/SjSzxCSKLt 3) Not all the shitcoins are useless: while most of them are scams (exceptions which started honestly, mostly before 2013, can be counted on one hand), some of them, namely some "stablecoins", are aimed at scamming regulators to give users more freedom, instead of scamming greedy dumb retail investors out of their money, arguably net positive: https://t.co/Ax2Q8lyJrJ 4) While shitcoins (including net-useful ones, namely USDt) use RGB, they don't hurt Bitcoin's fungibility, scalability and incentives (unlike retardinals do), but can even *improve* them, messing with chainanal heuristics with a very private layer, removing some economic load with virtually zero onchain footprint, hiding information necessary for MEVil interference: https://t.co/Lpdi1PYjjB 5) Until a trustless RGBTC exists, *all* tokens on RGB (and RGB reimplementation, like Taproot Assets) will technically be *shitcoins*, and they will mostly be aimed at literally scamming somebody with decentralization circus and Bitcoin-cargo-cult-thinking (the regulator to concede more freedom for secondary markets for the good ones, the retail investors out of their money for the bad ones). I explicitly advise against purchasing any of those with sats and in favor of selling them for sats. The RGB protocol itself doesn't have or need any token. I don't benefit financially from anything RGB-related (only psychologically).

It's true that very few brick&mortar merchants worldwide accept Bitcoin due to very low demand: Bitcoin has been mostly optimized since inception for privacy-sensitive e-commerce (and emerged as very fit for permissionless savings). In El Salvador, brick&mortar adoption rate is significantly higher than average (just consider McDonald's), but still limited. UX comparison with cash, cards and Apple/Goole is multivariate and nuanced, but the bottomline is that custodial LN UX is unequivocally way better than either onchain UX or self-custodial LN UX. With Ark, self-custodial LN UX became almost as good as custodial LN UX. Good.
