What if the real Great Filter is failing to evolve past fiat money? #bitcoin

@acinq_co Well done! Huge accomplishment. 👏

Eclair v0.14.0 is out: https://t.co/e7Mo7z5bix!

This release is packed with *a lot* of exciting new features: splicing, taproot channels, zero-fee commitments, many performance improvements for large nodes...and a lot more!

If you're running eclair, now is the time to upgrade your node ⚡

You violated the right to privacy of someone who’s building a tool that promotes freedom of speech around the world, mischaracterize him in the process, and you’re bragging about it?

You should be ashamed of yourself. Censorship is a real issue, but clearly your ego is too big to get it.

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

Julian Assange is locked in a dungeon as a political prisoner for the "crime" of publishing award-winning stories nearly fifteen years ago, and yet there are people on here claiming that we have a justice system.

Marhelm will no longer support credit card billing going forward.

There are consequences for payment processors who abuse their customers with constant KYC requests and replace human support with AI.

To users concerned about feerates for closing transactions: we periodically consolidate and bump them. No action is required after closing the channel.

You can also CPFP from your side, if you know what that means and are in a rush.

[OCEAN @ocean_mining]

It's time for Lightning⚡️ and it's time for BOLT12🔩

As of today, OCEAN miners can attach a BOLT12 offer to their #Bitcoin address and get paid out over Lightning!

BOLT12 offers allow us to request multiple invoices for any amount while only requiring the miner to set things up once.

Miners simply sign a message containing the offer using the private key associated with their Bitcoin address.

Using BOLT12 also allows us to prove to the world that a payment was made, the size of the payment, the node to which it was paid, and that it was paid by us.

This means we can continue to offer fully transparent and verifiable pooled mining while no longer being restricted by the base layer!

Using the Bitcoin stack to its fullest is how we eliminate the need for trust and bring sovereignty to mining.

Link to follow.

It’s increasingly the case that a lot of good bitcoin apps work in dozens of other countries but not in the United States.

The US is kind of slowly firewalling itself from the rest of the world in terms of financial innovation.

@LynAldenContact @DaynezJohn Sweden tried this tactic earlier this year. It worked until they stopped selling dollars/euros and now SEK rate is down again where it was when they started.

That might be the reason Japanese are keeping their powder dry.

@peterktodd @PhoenixWallet Obtanium app store is another way for those that don't want to download the APK from GitHub.

[Paul Troon @paultroon]

@Snyke @lucas_lclc Just a wild guess, but the Lightspark announcement had strong carpet-bagger vibes.

If Craig Wright was not a broke shitcoin-charlatan, now he could use Bitcoin to protect his assets from freezing! :)
