Agreed on the first part about Barry. I can't say I know all the details, but that was my takeaway when I was paying more attention to it. Doesn't seem he got all that much flack for it either, though maybe I just missed it.
I remember when ETFs kicked off that there was a pretty big outflow of funds as people ported over to them from Greyscale, but I _THINK_ (I don't care enough to do a deep dive) they're still reasonably large, which I guess your explanation makes sense for, but I really don't know. If so, then I'd guess the majority of funds that moved would have been those that were not very "in the money," while those remaining would be the older shares (or whatever they're called) for whom the cap gains are painfully high.

Yes, I've been thinking about making in-browser construction of identities available as an option. There is nothing difficult about it in principle, but it sort of defeats the purpose of keeping the identity-securing keys airgapped. I may still decide to do so as a sort of toy-identity option so it becomes very easy to try it out. I first want to fortify the surrounding infrastructure, so it's more scaleable before I roll out an-easy-to-try option.

2026-05-18T16:12:18+02:00

Whatever happened with Greyscale Bitcoin Trust? It used to be a big macro topic before ETFs, but I haven't seen it brought up once in at least 2 years. Did all the money leave? The share price looks in line with the btc price, but if I understand correctly it has worse terms and fees than ETFs, so I don't understand why it would still be around.

its only a store of value if people use it.
real estate in Laramie and Manhattan are both finite. somebody might consider a house in Laramie their SOV, but everyone else is laughing at them.

its the social context that matters, not absolute supply. if the social context dgaf about Bitcoin, its not an SOV.

since there's zero reason for young people to actually use it as money, its hard to feel that isnt inevitable.

So as far as I understand this. "Nostr" protocol aside. The secret key holder (as usual) is the one that must derive the receiving address correct? So the receiver must have some service "online" for the sender to request like we do with LNUL. The rest is communication ceremony. We should be able to keep it away from the nsec even further though right? I don't see any reason to have it constantly local to the nsec (part of the bunker).

Could we consider a system that offers a simple http endpoint that responds with a fresh address. We already have lnurl servers running we could make this work also. Has a different surface area but needs no access to any secret keys, no encryption no leakage etc.

I feel like it's worth mentioning that discussions on "it shouldn't be built because it can be used badly" is rarely a convincing argument. Vitor is right though, so long as we hold a secret key tied to a _public_ key it could always be used by some blockchain or whatever crypto technology to "send" money as we know it's just an identifier signed by the sender. None of us can stop that. Address reuse is bad for privacy yes.

I think we'd be better off building a case for deniability, when we simply don't touch the funds. We can't control what others do, if they send funds to the address, which is public, the utxoset can be scanned. It can be public knowledge that I deny the funds, by not moving them. I'd think privacy is just as bad for senders in this regard.

We kept seeing the same thing. Miners acting up, hashboards dropping out, people blaming firmware or hardware. Then you look at the power setup and it's a mess of cheap adapters and undersized wiring.

99% of miner issues start at the PSU. Now we have a proper solution.

Not true. I think Core have been impeccable, where the only mistake is that they were too slow to increase the default datacarriersize

My opinion might be bullshit 🙂, I'm not asking everyone to agree, my point is that very many folks are not unhappy with Core
