    Jack promotes bitcoin tippin

    There exists a wallet where you can anonymize your coins without trusting a 3rd party? Tumblers are obsolete. Please support bitcoin fungibility by using Wasabi Wallet and its coinjoin feature.

    Posted: 20 Feb 2019 07:38 PM PST

    Like tor, PoW, and many other decentralized systems, the power inherent in the network is a formula of the number of users of the network that support the infrastructure. In the case of coinjoining (basically tumbling with a bunch of people in a cryptographically safe way), it is hard to move even a couple btc's through Wasabi Wallet (the only working new coinjoin scheme implementation AFAIK) could really use some liquidity. Just google Wasabi Wallet and either get it off github and build it or download it from the website. heres the link but double check https://wasabiwallet.io

    Slightly related: What happened to blockchain.info's coinjoin implementation back in the old days? was it not actually doing anything?

    Will it always take up to 1-2 hours to fill a lightning wallet?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 02:40 AM PST

    So I decided to try out the new tippin.me twitter lightning tip jar. The process to fill a lightning wallet is still as slow as transferring bitcoin on the base layer.

    I'm curious if this will get better? Scaling solutions like Lightning are great but if filling a lightning wallet will still be slow, isn't that a big barrier to mass adoption?

    Understand we r still in beta but thinking long term - won't this be a problem?

    PS. Just had my first lightning transaction go through, wow that's fast!! Can I now start tipping every content creator a few cents here and there. Very very cool.

    PPS. I do think this has the capability to be first real world mass use case of BTC. I consume so much content online, instead of liking things, much prefer to send a cent or two (or satoshis).

    Question about lightning network

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 12:17 AM PST

    Hi all, thought I had sent decent grasp of the ln, but can't understand this example.

    A opens a channel to B for 1 BTC. Payments start routing through the channel, such that A has 0.75 BTC and B has 0.25 BTC. Payments begin going the other way, bringing A back to 1 BTC and B to 0 BTC in the channel.

    What is the current penalty for B if he sends an older chainstate ( A 0.75 BTC, B 0.25 BTC) to the mempool?
