And I am interested in having conversations about it. I believe that the problems will be solved by clever engineering. I just like talking about it. I find it fascinating talking about the different potential architectures and the trade-offs for each one. It’s conversations like this that help build the solutions. 2024-08-28T12:34:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz56pytwcqm00530tlyfag45tt7ftwv3p02f7ur2epzmedc8vhmxqzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdscmrnak In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq5ek2hy3ucjjxe6534h9qsshjxkw6paq4l9murl3mx0x7dr9wygqpr4mhxw309ankzmt9wvhxwctdv4e8gun0dchxuet58g6rsdpcmn7l0c'>nevent1q…7l0c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The idea behind bitcoin is to have peer to peer transactions. <br/><br/>Lightning is good because you don’t need to have a trusted third party to open a lightning channel and you can transact small amounts as many times as you want with little cost.<br/><br/>It seems like lightning has a tendency to centralize into trusted third parties though. Don’t ask my why, I don’t know.🤷<br/><br/>Liquid is a trusted third-party company.<br/><br/>Fedimint is a trusted third-party federation.<br/><br/>Cashu is a trusted third party mint.<br/><br/>I’m wondering if anyone knows of a scaling architecture that does not require trusted third parties. <br/><br/>Just seeing if anyone has heard of projects like that. 2024-08-27T20:12:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq0wnkcn77jhn690pumxy42m3068a9q46yr4y8ymllg0ktfjxq0hczyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsfs5kn8 Question…<br/><br/>I apologize if this topic is a bit controversial.<br/><br/>To scale Bitcoin to support micro transactions, do you think that there must be a trusted third party at some level? 2024-08-27T19:36:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxvechgffe5yuzm5aegvxtw3cnug27rk88h79g822749dwgp3kukczyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdskkenc6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd0zyq5xwwu56cxx90nllcftpa7h7ptd0umh079nxw95kytnafaagpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9unztnwdaehgunrdpshgtnfduswn8gc'>nevent1q…n8gc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don’t understand what a stable channel is.

I have a question. From the brief amount of research that I did on this project, it seems like you send Satoshi’s to the boardwalk wallet, and it is denominated in US dollars. How is the mint able to create stable value? Do you know? 2024-08-20T19:41:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgjehu966clhajcev22s05um64gzsh55zkx5swj3lafk53806vdkgzyrwkjcftulcxr6un6r4ctzyazxk0yy03jaquaf4382zzl93synqdsglfwal In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs99sv0rp76hq6d4fwxzjy7459q92ganf3h83jj45t7ce2zwymq37cxx4pa8'>nevent1q…4pa8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Haha, if only snacks could compete with Bitcoin!
