    A good time to use Native Segwit its 65% cheaper! find a compatible Wallet and move your funds!

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 11:26 PM PDT

    The mempool is getting empty and if you transfer your funds from legacy address to Native Segwit (bc1 address) you will be getting a 65% discount in your next transactions because native segwit are 65% cheaper. Also a good time to merge your money into single address

    "Native SegWit inputs have a weight of 105 bytes, down from 140 bytes for Wrapped SegWit inputs and 297 bytes for non-SegWit Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH). That means Native SegWit inputs will be 25% cheaper than Wrapped SegWit inputs and 65% cheaper than non-SegWit inputs."

    Do Not Crypto And Drive

    Coinbase partnered with Bitrefill to bring Lighting Network access to its customers. It's a big step forward to get Bitcoin arbitrage off the base layer.

    10 Million Dollar Bitcoin End Game (Documentary)

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 02:00 AM PDT

    Take the Lightning Network for a test drive. Send me a payment request.

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 04:56 PM PDT

    If anyone wants to give lightning a try then Lightning App and Eclair Mobile are both very user friendly options and both are non custodial.

    https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair-mobile

    https://blog.lightning.engineering/announcement/2019/06/19/mobile-app.html#

    Eclair is Android only but Lightning App is both IOS and Android.

    Lightning App has an autopilot feature so you don't need to worry about opening channels yourself, you receive a Bitcoin payment and a channel is automatically created with however much Bitcoin you received.

    Eclair has a feature where you can request inbound capacity which makes receiving payments to your channel easier.

    Eclair has both static channel backups (which means that you can recover your channels with your seed phrase) and watchtowers (which ensure your funds remain safe in the unlikely event your device is offline for more than 2 weeks).

    If anyone wants to test receiving payments reply with a payment request for $1 and I will pay it :)

    Once your channel is open check that you have receiving capacity. If you don't then install Blue Wallet which is available for both IOS and Android and send however much you funded your channel with there, you will now have receiving capacity of the same amount that you originally funded your channel with.

    Also, if you have any questions or concerns about Lightning then ask, hit me with your best FUD ;)

    What I still don’t understand about seed phrases

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 12:05 AM PDT

     I understand that we all need backups and seeds serve as a way to recover your wallet if it's lost/stolen/destroyed etc. 

    But I don't understand how the words are "generated" or how knowing them lets you recover anything.

    Everything I've read about hardware or software wallets just says the wallet "generates" a seed in case you need recovery. Hardware wallets even boast that the seed is generated inside your own hardware itself. But HOW? By what mechanism/program/company is it generated and recovered?

    1.) The only thing that I can uneducatedly guess is that it (over-simplified I'm sure, but basically) starts with your private key and then puts it through an elaborate math 'formula' and that the answer to that math problem comes out as words and that becomes your seed... Then when you need recovery you put the words through the inverse of the formula and the result is a key? Like a decoder ring on super-computer-steroids! Is that even close to right??? If not, ignore the questions below and please tell me how they are generated. But, If it is along that lines then...

    2.) Do wallets all use the same 'formula'? If not, how would a different wallet make any sense out of my seed words and recover anything? If so, why is it any more secure that a hardware wallet can generate internally, if every other wallet has the same 'formula' anyways?

    3.) if they do all use the same 'formula' to generate/recover (sorry btw, to anyone with expertise, if me calling it a 'formula' is like nails on a chalkboard. I imagine it sounds dumb, I simply don't have the vocab to say it any better, yet), then why aren't some shady types just having banks of servers constantly running random word combinations through it? I imagine that targeting one person and trying to use that method to get a SPECIFIC seed would have truly staggeringly bad odds... But with all the wallets in all the world, would the odds still be so bad that they would stumble into a few random seeds to active wallets? What would be the defense against that?

    Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks
