Guess who received (& send back) 2 LARGE (!) mainnet #Bitcoin payments from @stefanwouldgo over the #LightningNetwork! 1st payment: 0.3679 BTC (345 parts minSplitSize: 10k sats) 2nd payment: 0.286 BTC (80 parts minSplitSize: 100k sats) Teamwork makes the dream work! 1/4

Optimally Reliable & Cheap Payment Flows on the Lightning Network the joint work with @stefanwouldgo is now (as promised) in the #open: arxiv.org/abs/2107.05322 This method should allow us to ⚡️ send large #Bitcoin amounts over the #LightningNetwork ⚡️ Thread: 1 / 15

In case you didn't know and windered why bitcoin doesn't have confidential tx: hidden inflation bugs in monero have always been the concern.

Liquid hack explained. Liquid has confidential transactions that hide the amounts for improved privacy. A bug in how these transactions are validated caused inflation of Liquid BTC (L-BTC) and allowed hackers to empty the entire side chain. Liquid nodes don't see the amounts

In my leasure time I vibe coded a chess app using codex. (I might put it online eventually...) But I am hearing also compelling stories about Claude. Anyone here hosting latest deepseek model themselves and has experience how strong those are? Anyone tried more than 1 model?

I empirically tested the mathematical theory of payment channel networks. I simulated 1 million payments on the 2-party channel LN, compared to a 3-party channel Network (same total cap) Supported amounts increase by almost two orders of magnitude! Payment Failure rates halved!

Today was an excellent day for Bitcoin. It demonstrated perfectly that it worked as it supposed to work.
