Other developers like Wladimir J. van der Laan, Marco Falke, Pieter Wuille, Michael Ford and Jonas Schnelli are listed among the top contributors on the Bitcoin Core GitHub. Greg Sanders: No. I haven’t been as deep in the argumentation like Bastien. Greg or t-bast, is there anything that you think the audience would benefit from knowing about those discussions? Mike Schmidt: Greg, for folks that may not be completely sure of the timelines for LN-Symmetry, they may say, "Hey, you had Greg on talking about Lightning, but LN-Symmetry wasn’t even in the LN Summit notes". This is a very easy way to solve fast jamming, but the issue is that it has

impact on normal users as well, because if you’re a normal user, you try to make payments, you have a lot of failures before you actually get to the recipient, you will have paid upfront fees for failures that you may think are not your fault, not something you should be paying for. Binance Launchpad and Launchpool are platforms that help and advise project teams on how to best issue and launch their token. This infrastructure reduces the possibility of an online payment issue known as double-spending.

This week’s newsletter references a discussion about BIP151 encryption for the peer-to-peer network protocol, provides an update on compatibility between Bitcoin and the W3C Web Payments draft specification, and briefly describes some notable merges in popular Bitcoin infrastructure projects. Binance offers lower fees than Coinbase, but Coinbase provides a native digital wallet. Although the platform provides access to more than 200 coins and tokens, all are listed based on a risk assessment framework, and any that violate set parameters are quickly delisted to protect users. These are generally placed on web platforms where you can access your coins from anywhere using a combination of a username and a password. I have one", and then you send yield, and then I can go? The journal encourages authors to digitally sign a file hash of submitted papers, which will then be timestamped into the bitcoin blockchain. The authors of the MuSig proposals suggest that will be MuSig2 due to its relative simplicity and high utility. Some of the things you change, most of the features, you will require touching many of the BOLTs, so you cannot just have one working group per BOLT. Thomas from our team has been working on that for a while.

On the spec itself, there was a proposal to move to working groups to split the specification into different working groups. 115, a recent update to the LN specification that has not yet been widely deployed makes it possible for an attacker to steal a portion of the bitcoins allocated to paying onchain fees for LN payments (HTLCs). Mike Schmidt: The last item from the LN Summit is about The specification process. Mike Schmidt: But it doesn’t prevent that information, that local information, from being shared outside of the protocol, right? Mike Schmidt: There were two other items from the notes that we didn’t cover that I wanted to give either of you an opportunity to comment on. How do you know; is there a way for the other party to say, "Hey, I want to take my turn, can you finish up? ● Allocate time to test Bitcoin Core 0.17RC2: Bitcoin Core has uploaded binaries for 0.17 Release Candidate (RC) 2. Testing is greatly appreciated and can help ensure the quality of the final release. Antoine Poinsot explains that script descriptors are currently being extended to use miniscript in Bitcoin Core and are expected in the Bitcoin Core 24.0 release.

One of the challenges discussed in the thread is how to relate user preferences that exist on a single continuum to the discrete and multi-factor routes being returned by a pathfinding algorithm. According to Carlson, mining has now reached the stage where the minimum size for a new commercial mine, given the high levels of difficulty, will soon be 50 megawatts, enough for around 22,000 homes and bigger than one of Amazon Web Services’ immense data centers. It’s always been quite unclear how much priority we should assign to that, because now that we have a protocol that everyone’s implemented and works, when is it going to be worth changing? Spear is the H2TLC, or something like that, which can be converted into PTLC. So, I’m not sure this has made a lot of progress, but this can still make progress in the past months, but I haven’t been tracking that closely. We’ve had a few of those discussions over maybe six or nine months, and I’m curious how you all would summarize the jamming discussions from the LN Summit meeting. Maybe you can kind of put it to rest why that wasn’t a main discussion item during the meeting and why?
