If you swap sats on Lightning for chain Bitcoin opportunistically with your local farmer, is your farmer an LSP?

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin and Lightning projects have increasingly thin skin, and would benefit from a period of black papers more than white papers.

Bolt12 might actually be great for cloud nodes that only need to communicate with other nodes in the same cloud without regard for latency and uptime. Go ahead, give it the "Greenlight".

Trying out the nip07 browsers extension... These are an absolute disaster and not sustainable for growth. Where are my delegation maxis? I think we can build helpers on top of nip26.

Much of the ECash scam comes from the fact that any major custodian is already "MultiSig" with varied stakeholders, and that this somehow makes it a layer upon Bitcoin. Coinbase Custody uses a MultiSig vault with several overseeing stakeholders including regulators. Is that a Bitcoin layer if we also ECash on it? Is it really any more private when they're a in and out hop in your coin movements? All you've done with software is codify a fiat political system that's still inherently susceptible to human weakness. These ECash projects aren't getting tens of millions in sus VC money, and backesld by "Russia Man Bad" NGO spooks like the HRF. Think logically. Just skim the ECash act. Connect the dots to Bolt12 and Blockstream. These projects are astroturfing the next CBDC/Digital Dollar and attacking/exploiting lightnings traction to do it. Don't give up on Uncle Jim.
