View quoted note → Lightning is very much living, it is more alive than any mailing list or Twitter post about scaling bitcoin. It has 100k+ channels over 5 years of main net, btc-at-risk miles on it. We know the flaws of lightning intimately because we’ve been using it, and testing it and improving it. X miracle bitcoin scaling solution is in fantasy land and due to not existing at any scale is as good as dead. They’re fun to think about though.

It’s really easy to get on these marketplaces of ideas and weight an idea with many engineer years of development and miles on it the same as a new concept that someone just cooked up

Maple syrup update day 4 🍁 1.5 gal harvest today! My dad spotted another maple that I hadn’t seen this fall and I tapped it, so will have 3 trees worth of sap tomorrow. Big enough batch to boil outdoors— got enough to finish to an 8 oz bottle so will try that in the next couple days.
