Mid high school I would say

This is really cool and a great use case for cashu. I personally mine a shit coin to then sell to BTC because of the issues you mentioned, but would be great to be able to mine sats directly instead.

What people see in Ripple still boggles my mind. To me it always was and always will be the shit coin of all shit coins. Let me put it this way, if my only choices were Fartcoin and Ripple, I would probably take Fartcoin, because at least it would give someone a laugh.

My original umbrel on RPi4 failed, but then I went with an OrangePi5 w/16GB ram and configured to boot from an M.2 rather than the SD card. Been running great with the Orange Pi so far and can handle more load. Problem now is Umbrel updated their OS again so I do need to reconfigure for that when I have time. Not a priority though.

😂🤣

This isn't shitcoinery. It's a legit method to possibly evolve the ecosystem. With that said though, I agree that there needs to always be actual sats backing any ecash transaction. Also need redundancy in the ecash mints. Could there be a way maybe to require ecash mints be in clusters of 4. So that the (4) in the cluster are each clones of one another. With the sats being held in a multisig wallet, so that 2 of the 4 mint clones hold the same multisig key and the other 2 mint clones hold the other multisig key. I guess this would make it a separate layer 2 network completely separate from lightning though.

nostr + zaps = instant fund transfer

Don't know if you know but Jeff (lead lokinet developer who created it) resigned/quit Oxen. I showed him what we talked about on telegram. Below is his response


undefined:
yea let them know i am up for doing lokinet atop such

if LN or btc people want to fund dev i'm open to the prospect.

they'll get the features they want

stakeless lokinet could scale, certainly MUCH more so than tor
