Been thinking about scaling in #Bitcoin vs #Ethereum lately. Gotta say, I'm not sold on the whole #rollup thing. Rollups basically create a separate blockchain. Even with trustless bridges, you're splitting your ecosystem. It's like having two competing universes instead of one cohesive system. Bitcoin's approach with Lightning and Ark? Way more fluid. These are just unconfirmed txs we choose not to broadcast, protected by some clever counterfactual schemes. Take Ark: mempool empty? Just send on-chain. Congested? Join an Ark round. Same wallet, smooth transition. It's all one system, not two competing layers. This is why I think Bitcoin's scaling smarter. It's not about adding more blockchains, it's about making the base layer more efficient and powerful. Curious what you all think. Are rollups really the future, or is #Bitcoin onto something better here? 🤔

Hey @primal would very cool to implement language models (can be small and kinda easy to run on-device) to implement a more personalized content discovery I don’t think scaling is the issue of Nostr (can be fixed) but rather being useful without the need of a centralized honeypot server creating timelines.

What’s the best cashu impl in Go? @calle

Coin control is fundamental for #bitcoin transactions privacy, but it’s annoying to have to handle the change output and keep track/label on every spend. What if merchants accepting bitcoin could let me create a simple payment channel address that can be funded spending an arbitrary amount of coin(s) without generating a remainder, hence no change output in the transaction? User wallet would send funds and right away sign the initial state deducted of the first spend in favor of merchant ie. Funding amount 0.1525 BTC First payment 0.01 BTC It a basically the Bitrefill account balance, but with somewhat a guarantee you can get back your “gift card” if service is not delivered to you anymore.
