    I’m excited to share today that I’m joining the @Lightspark team to work on building out Bitcoin and LN to be even more powerful forms of money and payments. #Lightspark #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork

    I wore a bitcoin core t-shirt today at #Bitcoin2022 (along w/ @achow101). Quite a few people asked, "What's bitcoin core?" It's... bitcoin. I guess people added "core" because it was confusing. "So you work for Bitcoin Core?"

    You cannot still, never have been able to, and never will be able to, "withdraw BTC on other networks". Securing Bitcoin also involves calling out hostile redefinition of Bitcoin.

    Binance has temporarily paused #Bitcoin withdrawals on the $BTC network. Meanwhile, you can still withdraw BTC on other networks. This is due to a stuck on-chain transaction. Our team is currently working on a solution and will provide further updates soon.

    Why the excitement for "Digital Identity"? Bitcoin's strength is we can pay / be paid and not care about people's names or "identities".

    A few months ago, I read about @Lightspark, a new company whose goal is to “explore, build and extend the capabilities and utility of Bitcoin.” “Huh.” I thought, “That’s also been my goal for the last decade or so.”

    Really frustrating to see laser-eyesers applauding an attack on mainnet LND. Sure, fixing bugs makes bitcoin stronger. Sure, it's the currency of enemies. But bitcoin and LN are not magically invincible / inevitable. Attacks don't help.

    Just released v0.1 of utreexo software & wrote about it here: medium.com/mit-media-lab-… take a look, test it out, and write some crash reports :) It's been great working with the other utreexo developers so far & looking forward to more people working on it!

    The problem with scams isn't even the scams. It's that you start thinking real things are scams, and start thinking scams are real.

    Pay no heed to those who define Bitcoin as "the chain with the most work, whatever the rules", as they are just along for the ride.
