What happened to Nostr Wallet Auth? Why do I see the worst open source dev hell when I try to find out if this is a nip now? This was the best way to connect with nwc by far, and it looks like the spec was nitpicked to death for no reason

I don’t spend a lot of time in the libertarian meme of picking your exact genre but I’m pretty sure at this point I’m not an ancap. Don’t get me wrong I have friends who are, and I love everything about the ideology, but it’s hard for me to get behind the real end goal, which appears to me to be burning it all down and replacing it with ~not much~ I rarely pick the “mid” option but I think I’m much more of a minarchist. Or rather I’d love to see ancap work, but I’m not going to let that prevent me from trying to influence our institutions today. What I see right now is a huge push of the Overton window towards liberty. Doge could very well be the minarchist dream and it seems to be driven by the same sort of thought. To have many libertarians say “that’s not good enough” and “I’m not aligned with any politician,” …while I understand the sentiment, I think it’s a bit of a shame. The bitcoin community could stand to get a lot out of the current US administration. I’ve seen x posts about going back to the gold standard, negativity around debanking. Questioning regulatory overreach. I’m going to do my damndest to try to push these conversations, and at this point I have no shame in working within the current political system. I half think ancap is a psyop to get libertarians locked in a “I’m more anti state thou” loop instead of actually doing something. It’s performative, and to let it get in the way of changing something at such a prime time would be a mistake.

Writing calls on etf btc for every month we don’t get sbr— not a bad strategy

Hosted channels were originally thought of as being custodial all the time, which probably explains why proponents of them went on to build ecash (and why they weren’t taken up much by self-custody wallets) But I think hosted channels do have a place among LSP assisted self-custody wallets, because simply, you can’t self custody 20 sats of bitcoin. The biggest benefit of hosted channels is to provide a lightning native experience that upgrades easily to self-custody. An LSP just needs to not broadcast the on-chain txn The wallet client operates as normal. When you have a big enough balance, you can upgrade. Hosted just for the period of time you need it. It’s a real path from zap onboarding to full bitcoin ownership. Products for real people need to pick and choose from what we have for the best experience. More on that here

It's time to start building the bitcoin ecosystem we started in 2023 and never got to finish.

Oh olas is very cool

“We need more bitcoin core development to make Bitcoin work / popular.” It’s like saying we need to change HTTP to make the web popular. HTTP did not make the web, websites did.
