After weeks of hard work i'm excited to finally be shipping this
Truly feels like magic, if someone told me this was on Bitcoin a few months ago I wouldn't have believed them. The financialization of Bitcoin is happening 🧘

I’ve been looking for scrappy founding engineers and quite literally no one meets the bar.
Starting Comp: $100k cash + 1% equity
Requirements:
- Full stack crypto bro (we’re a rust shop, so low level language experience is a +)
- Understand Bitcoin+LN

We're making Bitcoin fun again -- all other protocols were just ramping up to this

wallet is the last missing piece of this puzzle.
Yes, you're going to be issuing, transfering, & swapping tokens on Bitcoin.
LRC20 is live on mainnet! Some of you have complained Rust is too hard, so new JS SDK 🛠️ is there as a bonus feature. I know more than one team will be releasing a wallet based on it very soon. Exciting times ahead.
Crypto has lost the plot on privacy, this is not a crusade.
Privacy is a fundamental human right. Don't get it confused with tools that mainly enable crime - ethics are needed.
eCash holds the lead here...
With Coinbase, Lightning will be enabled on exchanges that do the majority of volume in crypto (binance, kraken, okx). Lightning has no blocktime or confirmations…
Instant deposit/withdrawal to/from exchanges. Study inventory management.

Maos red army was predominantly student led — he manipulated them into zombies to power the cultural revolution.
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes!
Happy halving.
I decided it was a great time to make a publicly accessible LRC20 node so people can start minting tokens! Running on Mutiny Net (thanks
@MutinyWallet
), mainnet soon. Just minted the first tokens!
Building a small site and wallet. Stay tuned :)

So happy to finally be sharing what we’ve been working on for the past couple months.
So much has been happening behind the scenes, can’t wait to get this live.

Programmable money (smart contracts), fast and cheap transactions with no middle men, and overall just a better payment infrastructure built on blockchain and not old bank protocols that suck you dry with fees.
Don’t be corporate, let’s build greatness. 100k & 1% is just the start, much more in store if you prove yourself.
We're also going to be setting up an internship program in the near future so + on individuals who have strong connections to a top CS program

I don’t see why not. We might need to beef up our node implementations but no real protocol changes are needed.
Lightning isn’t a blockchain, so performance scales quite linearly with the graph. It can handle crazy workloads with the right hardware and networking setups.
What happens to stablecoins when yield falls? Can they still outrun the cost of keeping a peg?
Weren't Tether and Circle having solvency issues in 2021-2022 while crypto was reaching ATHs?
AG1 is an empty promise.
Why am I poasting about AG1? To highlight the depths of our societal sickness. Insurance companies actively avoid being helpful. Government recommendations are lobby-led. Fast food is on every corner. Algorithms do with you as they please. The

There needs to be 10x more abstraction for the ux to be *there* -- something like the uniswap swap UI.
i'm releasing better tooling soon...
@mempoolmonkey
I get your points but it's important to understand that payments ≠ trading.
Today only a small % of bitcoiners really care about moving sats faster and it's all for payments -- it's not optimized for trading whatsoever. Trading is higher incentive
