Bitcoin Liquid and lightning and other things built with those already make this possible, but it's an interesting alternative perspective. View quoted note →

An invention while I was fucking around with AI. Let's bring back #duels!! I challenge Jameson Lopp lol! #BitcoinLightningDuel ## **🔥 The Bitcoin Lightning Duel (BLD) 🔥** **A high-stakes, skill-based, meme-fueled showdown for Bitcoin anarchists.** #### **📜 Rules:** 1. **The Stake:** - Both duelists **pre-pay half the prize** (e.g., 0.0005 BTC each) to a **neutral Lightning escrow** (or, for extra trustlessness, a **2-of-3 multisig onchain**—optional for high rollers). - The **total prize** (0.001 BTC) goes to the winner. 2. **The Gun:** - A **cryptographic challenge** (e.g., solve a hash, sign a message with the correct answer to a puzzle, or reply fastest to a nostr event). - First to **"fire"** (solve the challenge) **triggers the escrow** to zap the full prize to their Lightning node. 3. **The Stream:** - **Live on nostr** with a **Zapwall Lightning invoice**—spectators zap to watch (or it could be a free stream with zaps to donate to the pot) and **a cut goes to the winner**. - **Zap reactions** = real-time cheers/boos. 4. **The Humiliation:** - Loser’s defeat is **immortalized in a nostr event** (e.g., "💀 [Loser] got rekt by [Winner] in the BLD—zap to mock them 💀"). - **Optional "Double Tap"**: If the winner dominates in a rematch, the loser must **burn 10% of a bounty** to a "Fuck the State" address. 5. **The Twist:** - **"Russian Roulette Mode"**: Random difficulty—sometimes easy, sometimes *impossible*—to keep it spicy. --- ### **🎯 Why It’s Perfect:** ✅ **Skill > Luck** (fastest solver wins). ✅ **Positive-Sum**: Winner gets prize + the zap pot. ✅ **No Trust Needed**: Lightning escrow enforces payouts. ✅ **Pure Chaos**: Humiliation, memes, and Bitcoin—what more could you want?

It is so weird but fun being both broke and rich at the same time

Teach your children to not trust but verify, by example. And build bitcoin nodes and mining setups with them. Discuss fork game theory. Teach them privacy best practices and why they are important. Let them learn accounting, markets, money, banking fraud vs warehouse receipts vs credit, and entrepreneurship. These are the weapons, in combination with unstoppable open source guns and self defense training, that will win the war for liberty. View quoted note →
