[Swift Language @SwiftLang]

A unified networking stack for Swift, layered from low-level I/O primitives, through common protocols, to a modern HTTP client and server API. ⚙️ That's what the new Networking workgroup is building. Interested in contributing? Join us: https://t.co/IFgoC3oxzB

Lot of confusion about how Ark and Lightning should interact to scale #bitcoin

Luckily, @niftynei invited me to @btcplusplus Economics edition where I proposed Lightning powered by Ark (https://t.co/mdRQHGY5Gi) instead of connecting Arks via Lightning. Feedback wellcome & enjoy!

[Swift Bitcoin @SwiftBitcoinOrg]

New quarterly progress report published (OpenSats commitment)

Swift Bitcoin is officially at par with Core in terms of mempool policy, consensus and general peer-to-peer behavior including most DDoS mitigations.

Training an LLM with Swift, with optimization techniques to match or exceed C performance. 🏎️ Plus Wasm updates, recently active Swift Evolution proposals, and a talk about the Temporal Swift SDK, in the latest edition of What’s New in Swift https://t.co/1l51xIb5EW

@notgrubles Great analogy because it's not like Linux on the Desktop is so popular BUT at least it works for those who want/need it. Running a Lightning node can be a hassle so Ark may just be the thing that unlocks the entire payments experience.

@tgod34748 @SwiftLang is an extraordinary language that keeps evolving – what other language works seamlessly on iOS, Linux, Windows, Android, embedded RISC-V microcontrollers, Web Assemble and AWS Lambdas?

12 years ago today, Apple introduced Swift.

@ECBSJ @in3rsha PHP 🤝 Respect

[Vinteum @Vinteum_org]

We’re surprised @in3rsha couldn’t think of educators and advocates who have publicly praised his work, but maybe that’s exactly the problem: many of us took it for granted.

We’ve run multiple educational programs, host 900+ bitcoin tech learners in our Discord, and Learn Me A Bitcoin has always been an obvious go-to resource.

And we’re not alone. We’ve collaborated with, or had visibility into, programs and communities run by @ChaincodeLabs, @btrust_builders, @libdesatoshi, @bitshala_org, @Bitcoin_Devs, and @summerofbitcoin, and Learn Me A Bitcoin is so complete, unique, and thoughtful that people naturally find it, share it, and bring it into their own study paths, often before we even need to recommend it ourselves.

So here’s the urge: if Greg’s awesome explainers and diagrams helped you or your community, say it publicly. Work like this deserves more appreciation.

@murchandamus @in3rsha Invaluable resource indeed, thank you sir @in3rsha 🙏

Despite having a completely different architectures, I managed to port all consensus, policy and DDoS mitigation logic from @bitcoincoreorg to @SwiftBitcoinOrg

acceptTransaction, acceptBlock and connectBlock now behave the same as their Core analog

Early version of a @secondhq Ark VTXO inspector built into @mempool, complete with tooltips for each item so you can learn more about your offchain coins.

Here is a real life VTXO example decoded in-browser:

@murchandamus Yay @SwiftBitcoinOrg is already half way there, will be implementing along with Core

All bitcoin policy conveniently rolled into a single PR 😅 https://t.co/jOqOx7wSXj

Basically all Bitcoin FOSS projects need testers. Even if you don't have technical skills, you can still provide value by testing.

> The carveouts were uncomfortable Lightning-specific hacks in Bitcoin Core’s mempool policy. But they worked well enough, .... cluster mempool finally delivered the data structure breakthrough that lets policy be grounded in actual incentive compatibility rather than heuristics.
