Been told that a good SoV has to have utility so I loaded up on $QUARTZ. Peter Schiff am I doing this right?

Imagine a future where: 1. The most populous country on Earth can’t be found on a map. 2. The hardest element known to man has no mass. 3. Element 2 is the reserve currency of Country 1’s constituents. 4. The G8+5 and Uber decided to HFSP. The last three have already happened.

For anyone looking to test out the upcoming lnd v0.12.1-beta release, we’ve just released an rc3. Highlights include: - refactored gossip throttling - no-gossip sync mode - “pinned” gossip sync peers - deterministic build improvements github.com/lightningnetwo…

v0.12.1-beta.rc6 is now available—this is likely to be the final rc. More highlights: - fixed resource utilization leading to hanging rpc calls - verify_install.sh now requires 5-of-7 detached signatures over release manifest Feedback appreciated! github.com/lightningnetwo…

Achievement Unlocked 🔓

lnd v0.12.1-beta has been released! Highly recommend updating to benefit from the gossip stability improvements and fixes to resource utilization issues in v0.12.0. Thanks to all those who contributed, reported issues, or provided feedback! 🍻 #RUNLND github.com/lightningnetwo…

just reviewed Conner Fromknecht's latest PR implementing AMP in lnd 😈 AMP is soo close I can fkn smell it, been marinating for a few years now, it's aged rather nicely 🥩🍷⚡️ #UNLEASHTHESATS #bitcoin

Example of a one-time AMP donation invoice, which unlike MPP invoices, are safe to post publicly. The next development chapter will be adding support for recurring payments. Public, recurring invoices will deliver us to the static-donation-invoice-in-bio promised land. 🚀

nice to finally have some closure over the real reason I’ve been staring at Verify PIN for 9 months

Bitcoin just had two blocks mined an hour and twenty minutes apart (678199 and 678200). My napkin math says that only happens once every ~165 days.
