As people asked my opinion on Ark before. Here is a small thread...

I recommend listening to the episode with @brqgoo by @stephanlivera. Some details and problems are discussed and addressed. Obviously having read the technical discussion / proposals first will help you too

1/7 First I want to say I absolutely share the short commings of the #LightningNetwork that @brqgoo addresses & I extended them c.f:


While I am less pessimistic on LN I think it is absolutely crucial that we allow ourselves to also consider alternatives

Dear @greenpeace. You didn't address me directly with your campaign

However the demand of a code change makes me - as a developer - feel addressed

Despite being sure that your campaign is more about seeking attention than dialogue I feel the urge to reply to your demands:

1/11 I'd first like to recall that - according to @stlouisfed and many others - money has three functions

Second: Money is a unit of account.
Third: Money is a medium of exchange.

the joint work with @stefanwouldgo is now (as promised) in the #open: arxiv.org/abs/2107.05322

This method should allow us to
⚡️ send large #Bitcoin amounts over the #LightningNetwork ⚡️

Thread: 1 / 15 I wonder what @jack will say if he finds out that the main results & ideas were already on @twitter all the time:

Es war mir eine Ehre gemeinsam mit @stefanwouldgo diesen Durchbruch in Pathfinding entdeckt zu haben & zu erst der deutschen Community beim @HonigdachsPod davon zu berichten!

Unser Paper ist bis auf eine Graphik fertig & kommt diese Woche auf die Mailingliste!

Thread: 1/6 Die Menge an finanziell höchst lukrativen Job-Angeboten, die ich bekommen habe, nach dem ich vor ca. 2 Monaten erwähnte, dass wir das Problem geknackt haben hat mich komplett "überflutet" und es fiel mir (kein Bitcoin OG) sehr schwer, meine Prioritäten sortiert zu bekommen.

After 25 years of a hard sickness a very sad life came to rest...

My father was most likely the son of a Russian soldier who raped my grandmother during #WWII. This burden had a severe impact on his entire life. #stopwar

No video this and probably next week for obvious reasons My grandmother 1 week before my father was born writing a letter to the parents of her husband in September 1945. She describes how "she suffered under the Russian" in January 1945
