and Allen firstly can't thank you enough for writing this. For some silly reason I still work in Tradfi and you really helped me think through the stablecoin endgame for banks and the inherent incompatibility with FRB. Question to both of you - can you elaborate on how taproot assets theoretically solves issuer network lock in? Let's use the example of someone sending USDC and the recipient settling in USDT. I'm guessing it would be a matter of sufficient liquidity of both assets in the channel/s to allow the swap to take place? Would the recipient wallet deal with this via the LN invoice? I'm not super technical when it comes to lightning. Would love to understand how this works in practice.

Can you elaborate?

Grants are a great brand. Check our their other products too

Um this is amazing

Still gets destroyed by Tether

Can't even see the game record in history

Did someone claim this or did you just rug the prize pool?

How's your app startup times these days when using the embedded node? Neutrino connectivity was always hit and miss for me. Went back to remote node

You don't need to pay for primal wallet or even use it at all. There are many options that can interact with a nostr client via Nostr Wallet Connect (for sending zaps) To receive zaps you simply need a lightning address. Many options available (look at what others are using)

Agree with you on the retail CBDC front. It seems most of the central banks in the west ex-Europe are pivoting towards wholesale varieties, which isn't as much of a concern from an individual freedom standpoint and also doesn't disrupt the existing commercial bank funding model. But they also don't solve any existing problem either and introduce a whole lot more complexity in the process, so who cares 😂

You can open a couple of private channels to well connected nodes through the Albyhub UI and you are good to go. Minimum 1 million sat channels (in my opinion) and you can use their in built swap integration with boltz (under advanced) to balance your channels. Good hunting!
