one rumor suggests chinese miners are being welcomed to Iran. which would probably balance out in the end; iranians want to trade with the world, not just chinese companies, and the chinese don't really want their…

Sounds like a credible idea for a side-chain for sure. I particularly like how CT could impose a more appropriate data visibility model for bitcoin overall; public transaction information that is required to assure…

your point is: "what if the attacker somehow DOS'es the victim, and the channel-close reaches timeout" and timeout means game-over anyway. So you've "discovered" an attack that's exactly the same for Eltoo and Poon_Dryja

I am not referring to the real protocol, I was trying to show what would happen if we take the penalty mechanism away from Poon-Dryja. But you're not really listening Your point is still wrong regardless: if a cheating…

they're all state-update transactions, and they're all valid on-chain. That's the whole point, it wouldn't work otherwise. not. If all other updates are invalid once one of them is confirmed on chain, again, the…

I think we might be forgetting why the penalty exists in Poon-Dryja lightning in the first place If penalty did not exist in the current lightning protocol, a simple griefing attack would be: 1. Alice and Mallory have a…

each state/update PTLC has a update sequence number, using any old states to channel-close are rejected by validating nodes if a close tx with a newer state has already been confirmed in a block. Because the sequence…

there is no economics or monetary theory in libertarianism, it's a political ideology. this sounds like the 'bitcoin is encrypted internet tokens' pov this is an oft stated "oversimplification". you will not get the…

yes, the reddit-level of debate seems to constantly regurgitate all the libertarian aspects, but here on bitcointalk, it was noticed a long time ago that p2p systems are inherently collectivist, anathema to…

hmmm, I think you may have been watching too much tv right, you definitely have been watching too much tv. you know when the good guys are tall, witty, handsome and always helping old ladies across the road? and the bad…

well, some people make the bizarre claim that 20thC socialism as we know it and Bitcoin are genuine bedfellows. Perhaps one of these 'alt' flavors of anarchism might work in some fashion. not so interested in them, but…

it's weird, like @brethberie I also don't quite understand the architecture differences. I remember from my Windows days (now so long ago ) that 32-bit binaries worked no problem on 64bit systems or OS'es (but 32bit…

this part may be your issue what you want is bitcoin-0.20.1-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz NOT bitcoin-0.20.1-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz you appear to be using the arm-v7 arch, when in fact you would need the arm-v8 64-bit…

Caseless policy is bad because not everyone who knows how to operate on ATM think about our mothers who are already old how would them operate on this caseless policy, the risk of carrying ATM machines is also a bad one…

I expect they both have the data and are using it. The question is: will they give it up to the IRS etc? Possible plot twist; IRS ask, Google/Apple say no. Stranger things have happened, and it's more or less official…

yeah, forget all that if you're paying with a phone, this may end up being the "big reveal", whereby Apple/Google are asked to inform on everyone using their software. Maybe even ARM can do it too (i.e. rooting and…

Hey all, Just wanted to give a heads up to those who might not know yet, TradeOgre has been taken down by the RCMP, which is the Canadian Federal Police. They’ve seized all the funds and shut the site down completely.…

either these 1% of nodes are doing alot of high value txs over the network, or they're staking channels so they can sit around waiting for users to arrive. Probably mostly the latter. Seems like natural behavior, some…

so, the argument is: "decentralize the money"? how do we do that, by sending any extra money we don't need to pablogallegos1@twitter.com?

a somewhat strange position for LL to take... Osuntokun claimed on the lightning-dev mailing list to have read the spec for RGB, but failed to (fully) understand it. Another dev (not working on Taro, but commenting…
