Don't wear a watch since the age of smartphones began

No CEX, no problem

Well, Boltz backend is not exactly easy to configure. They don't give clear instructions for obvious reasons, but this regtest manual is a good start. I think someone tried to make sense of it and gave up.

Also, one must be a systems engineer to run all the parts reliably. If the backend loses the database in the middle of a swap, funds can be lost forever (rescue file is of no use without a way to construct the refund transaction, and front-end alone is unable to do it). So one must run postgress with real time replication to a remote location.

But, how many alternative backends do you need? Two is not enough?

Lightning Node Elements Core PeerSwap

Now you have three types (layers) of Bitcoin and can swap among them to keep your Lightning channels balanced. You can find other nodes running peerswap here.

Did you check this before trusting them with your money?

I did. The supposed connection between chess and writing made no fucking sense to me. I am ok at chess, but I don't make a living as a writer, so what can I know, right?

Why do you care about demand for block space? Bitcoin works great as money on L2. I want L1 as compact as possible on my SSD. But miners will centralize more without fee income? Stratum v2 is to fix that.

What will this accomplish other that bloating the UTXO set?

They made it crystal clear they will capture Taiwan by 2027

Whas this written by AI? What did the second half of your text have to do with the first and the title?

It is only a matter of time when any non-KYC card stops working due to regulatory crackdown. Been there with Kazepay's HK Visa. Fortunately, the balance was refunded after two months. Plan accordingly and never keep large balances.

On the other hand, "soft-KYC" Kazepay physical card still works great, with 2% top-up fee. Issuance costed $50 + $40 for UPS postage. "Soft KYC" means they did not verify my address (delivery country was different). Here is an invite link if you want to try.

Is she any good? Wikipedia says her fund lost $7.1 billion over 10 years..

Why? In core 29 datacarriersize still defaults to 80 as far as I know.

Oh, I am sure you will find plenty of supporters who dream to live off other people's wealth. The problem is, once you abolish private property protection by law, it always turns into a bloody mess. Greed guarantees the race to the bottom where no one wants to produce anything. Just plunder the neighbor instead.

Even if they do, nobody relays larger than 80 bytes

Hmm. Because v30 has not been released yet!?

I don't see how a UBI can work at all. World economy is a zero sum game. To give value to some group of people one must deduct it from some other group. All this demagogy amounts to bolsheviks' idea to "grab (value from the rich) and divide (equally among all)". We know how this worked out.

That's called planned economy

Thank you, very nice UX. You recommend booking all bitcoin transactions as cash sales, but I imagine merchants can't really do that, at least not in Europe. They must use cash machines to collect VAT, and in the end all cash would need to get to the bank, or they have a discrepancy. So they can't really book cash and not receive it. Any best practice advice how your EU clients get around that?

Not clear how the POS communicates the amount to pay with a static URL. The database behind merchant's account at Coinos awaits one payment at a time?

Very sleek, thanks for sharing! For NFC to work, what does the client need to run on his phone? Any writeup on how all this works?
