    Last night I watched my friend trying to buy a vehicle. It was so painful.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 11:53 PM PST

    I drove my friend to pick up a vehicle he was going to buy for a few thousand, we got to the sellers property at around 7pm.

    My friend thought he could either use PayPal or bank transfer easily and that would be that. Good God no. There were two people at the property with a PayPal account, my friend tried to send the money to both accounts. First they thought my friend could just send the money to an email, nope. Then the sellers were bumbling around trying to remember their passwords to their accounts and when they finally did, they realize that they weren't verified. They both go through the process to verify. At the end they realize they have to wait a few days to be accepted. Pfft.

    My friend tries to transfer through the mobile banking app, denied. My friend then calls his bank to transfer the money. The bank tell him he has to transfer the money after midnight and couldn't do so now! WTF! My friend then has to log in to Internet banking on the sellers laptop. Adds the seller as a payee and then finally sends the amount. But wait, it doesn't instantly transact because it's a large sum, it transfers the next day. Luckily the seller wasn't too bothered and just took a picture of the confirmation of transaction and handed the vehicle over. If it was any other guy our journey would have been a waste.

    Madness. Spent 45 minutes trying to send a few thousand to a private seller. Granted my friend could have just withdrawn the money earlier in the day but he leads a busy life and didn't have time.

    Today's shit is too damn inconvenient.

    PSA: New electrum phishing attack

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 07:46 PM PST

    There is a new phishing attack pointing users to download electrum 4.0.0 from electrumstart.org. It's nasty because it actually prevents electrum from broadcasting a transaction until the user upgrades, unlike the previous attack which just displayed a message.

    Reaching the first 1% is the hardest

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 06:56 PM PST

    Because of exponential properties of networked systems, reaching that first one percent is always the hardest, because at the beginning the network effects virtually do not push growth. After the first one percent reaching 10% and higher is less difficult than getting to 1% because the network effect creates incentives for people and organisations to join.

    The Lightning Network has a goal of reaching 1 million nodes, which is just an arbitrary large number, but it represents a psychologically significant tipping point when a system won't be dismissed anymore even by those who don't understand the technology well enough. 1 million nodes would mean there is a large, active and striving economy behind the network. 1M is not a limit of the network, as long as we can keep improving the routing algorithms.

    According to https://1ml.com/ there are at 7+K LN nodes now. It's likely that we already closer to 1% of 1M already, as explorers can only see public nodes, and there is an unknown quantity of non-public nodes out there as well.

    So far most nodes are operated by forward thinking technophiles. Within two months, we can expect to see a sudden (in absolute terms) growth of LN because the network effects will start to exert a force on economic players as well, such as exchanges, payment processors, stores, games, online-services, freelancers, etc. We will also start to see significant atomic swapping happening between the Bitcoin LN, Litecoin LN and Ethereum Raiden networks, which are slowly growing too.

    Exciting times! ⚡️
