Great episode, lots of technical info and tradeoffs for people to chew. One helpful note is that in the example that somebody forgets they have Noah installed on their phone, Noah will actually perform the refresh in the background for you. There's much less risk of your funds expiring that way, even if you forget about it.

If it does become a shitcoin scam then I'm out 😭

If we can help in any way with testing we will!

Dude if you do this you'll make me the happiest man ever. We've been trying to think of ways around it and we did think of a hack but we don't think it could be relayed. Official cluster package relay would be a game changer for users.

Better yet, check out https://beta.noahwallet.io and try it yourself!

As the mainstream media and politicians in my country are aligned in an anti-X narrative I fear I'll have nothing else to use but nostr within a years time. I hope my fellow countrymen will join me but it's hard getting the word out.

When BDK merges silent payment support you'll be able to play with silent payments with your ark wallet 😅

It would require effectively running a custodial service for lightning. Currently the way Noah works is that the client generates a preimage and payment hash, then it requests an invoice from the ark server. At that point the server facilitates the payment with some checks and balances which allow the client to keep the server honest. A third party swap service could exist which receives lightning payments and sends an ark payment of equal value to an ark address however that is custodial.

Can someone explain why $58K gang is a thing? I don't remember anything significant about it back in 2021~

I just think it's natural that as it gets bigger the time it takes to make large gains will increase. Barring geopolitical changes or world events I think the bitcoin price is destined to become quite boring.
