Here is a thread with pointers to my #Bitcoin analysis work:

@BlitzWalletApp @milessuter @cointastical @CashApp Not sure what was going on in this case but if you're able to DM an invoice or payment hash I can take a closer look.

[typerbole @typerbole]

@BlitzWalletApp @milessuter @cointastical @CashApp I was just able to pay an invoice to Blitz from Cash App. We support paying to multiple Spark based wallets with no issues and maintain liquid channels to the Lightspark routing nodes.

@openoms I was using a gradient-boost decision tree model to identify JoinMarket and Wasabi transactions, which I don't want to open source as it could be used for chain surveillance. The Whirlpool transactions are easily identifiable with some SQL heuristics so that's why I can share it.

Hi friends.

1. I shut down my lightning node. My seed was backed up on LastPass so I had to close all channels and sweep funds. Apologies to all my channel partners.

[typerbole @typerbole]

@openoms I agree that the comparisons were in theory useful. But in practice, less so because the JoinMarket numbers were lower precision (included "false positives") and the Wasabi numbers did not include 2.0

3. I am rotating Nyms and will no longer use this identity 🤙

2. I shut down https://t.co/drAn0r7EY2. The project was costing me time and money and I want to focus on other things going forward. My sense is that people are mainly using it to track Whirlpool stats which can be obtained by running the query below.

@ki_young_ju @Bitstamp The discussion seems to point to a high likelihood of those coinbases being false positives. If you were aware of this why would you send such a tweet to 300k followers? 😤

Update

[typerbole @typerbole]

I made a chart that compares Taproot usage to Segwit usage. It's measured in % of unique daily receiving addresses using the address type, with the X-axis being days after soft fork activation.

It tells a different story than what I saw in the recent @coinmetrics SOTN.

[typerbole @typerbole]

@alexbosworth Still lagging behind where segwit was at a similar time, but trending in the right direction.

@dannydeezy This tweet aged poorly cause the merge was just a few hours later and much heistier imo

[typerbole @typerbole]

Finally got around to migrating to a new data source for Lighting Network data on https://t.co/drAn0roI02 after https://t.co/PIe7KPhsQp was deprecated.

I wrote scripts to pull the data out of my own LN node, but the numbers are lower than what I was getting earlier.

@sassal0x Didn't an EF researcher coin the term "ultra sound money"? I remember he had a whole soundbank of garrish effects on this podcast (freeze, vaporize whatever) to demonstrate how bullish 1559 was. 🤮

@nopara73 @nvk 1. I have no affiliation with Samourai.

2. You are absolutely right that the JoinMarket volume on bitcoinkpis is the least accurate of the three major coinjoin implementations, I tried to convey this uncertainty with my disclaimer.

@RainDogDance @arbedout @nixbitcoinorg Only ~100 of the 1.6k makers in the nix order book have a bond.
