Are there any relay implementations that have NIP-44 support? The NIP04 standard says it's been deprecated in favor of 44 but there don't seem to be any relays that support the favored one.

If you're in Austin TX this week for SXSW or the Bitcoin Takeover, join us at the Bitcoin Commons this Thursday for Austin Bitdevs! We're breaking our long running streak of the third Thursday of the month to take advantage of a busy week of Bitcoin events here in the Bitcoin capital of the world in the Lone Star state!

fun fact: looks like npm utilizes 402 status codes in responses if you try and publish to a private package! (no lightning/L402 support though 😔)

Good walk-thru as well of how we as a community that are custodians of an open, decentralized, and immensely valuable protocol need to have reasonable expectations. Lightning didn’t fix all of bitcoin’s problems, but it also was necessary to get the MVP out, in no small part b/c deploying proof of concept is how we learn. We should look towards the future with the same clear-eyed practicality. View quoted note →

I really like this heuristic for evaluating bitcoin upgrades by Erik Aronesty from the mailing list: > "Best tool for the job" is not the bar. "Safe for all" and "useful for some" is the bar.

We've been working on a lot of important things at Unchained but it's been a while since we've been able to give open source as much resources as we would have liked. Really excited and proud of the set of features we're announcing this week supporting Ledger 2.0 wallet policy registration. This is not just about new features for Unchained clients, but also for the ecosystem. Caravan now has the ability to persist Ledger policy registrations, which is an improvement for security and usability. Ledger users can now verify addresses on their device. Any other coordinators that support the config file serialization can also use the registrations. We also released the first (to our knowledge) PSBTv2 tooling in JavaScript as part of this as Ledger 2.0 only accepts the newer encoding. And our HWI-like library for interfacing with signing devices has drop-in backwards and forwards compatible support for all new Ledger interactions: registrations, address verification, and signing with registrations. Checkout the blog post for all the details on the update! image
