Introducing Liana, by @Wizardsardine . A new type of Bitcoin wallet built around Miniscript: it feels like any wallet BUT it has a big difference: you have a recovery path after you stop moving funds for a while. What does this mean, practically? -> backups -> inheritance 1/n

The best way to fix the inscription spam is to use Bitcoin. They aren't stealing blockspace, you are just not willing to pay for it. They value their spam more than you value your transactions. If the actual problem you have is high fees, what do you want, price controls? 😂

A quick thread on the LND drama, because there is quite a lot to cover. First of all, I don't even run a LN node because I consider the LN state of the art to be weak security. So I'm not taking sides with LND or anything here. So, someone sent a transaction to break things. 1/n

People talking about forking Bitcoin because of this nft thing: what is wrong with you. Bitcoin isn't a thing you fork because you don't like what people do with it. Any fork is dangerous for users, and take insane coordination. Don't want to pay for fees? Don't use Bitcoin.

Thanks to Taproot, Liana can look like any basic wallet on chain. This transaction looks like (and pays fees like) a singlesig, but it's a Liana wallet. For now it only works with Ledger, but Coldcard will follow very soon. A huge step to pay lower fees and have better privacy!

Privacy has many layers in Bitcoin. Wallet fingerprinting is one of them. Since Liana V5, your wallet can look like a regular single sig, while having invisible recovery paths protecting you. I just made this transaction, looks like a single sig but...

We have been looking into hosting a technical Bitcoin conference for a while, where Revault is headquartered. It's on an island in the middle of the Atlantic, so flights are a bit expensive but accommodations are on the affordable side. And it's an awesome 🌋 place, part of 🇵🇹🇪🇺

not trolling here: afaik Ethereum was supposed to be that, wasn't it? Does this mean Ethereum 1 is a failure? If so, i would like an apology of everyone calling me a "troll" when i was whistleblowing. Otherwise please enlighten me.

When we talk about the halving, we usually think about scarcity vs fiat. But remember, Ethereum and the others are not halving in 4 months, only Bitcoin. It's not going to be a "crypto spring" or anything. Only Bitcoin will get harder to find. Rip shitcoins.

Better backups: right now, if you keep your backup in clear text anybody finding it would be able to empty your wallet. With Liana, not before the time lock expires. Mix this with temper evident bags and regular checks, you have a pretty safe and simple backup. 2/n

Funny how everybody was a genius trader during the pump, but now it's all "manipulated!". Deal with your own stupidity and learn, like we all did.

So, Revault is still just 5 people, and if you have been following the Github or @darosior announces over the past months, you may have noticed we are (finally) getting there. We'll need more people to join us, not only on the technical side.

So @darosior and I are launching a new startup to bring Revault to life. Our focus is to build a Rust implementation of the architecture within the next 12 months or so. We are looking for ~2 good Rust Bitcoin devs to join us in this endeavor! Also, here is the logo we chose 🥰

Been out of office for 2 days, and it's like Bitcoin has moved forward 10 years. This industry is insane. Congrats to @starkness and the @lightning team :)

I would even say: if there is ONE company in this industry that I'm in complete admiration of, it's @acinq_co . No bullshit. No influencer. No shit posting. No ads. Extremely rare conference presence. Just delivering, for years.
