Here's a preview of split lightning payments in action w/ @bluewalletio ⚡️🎵⚡️

While I understand the rationale for the SEC deferring law-advising to private sector lawyers, it is amusing to me to imagine how different the law and regulations would be if the government was required to provide taxpayer-funded lawyers to advise on every law/reg they pass.

Launching a bitcoin sidechain *is* starting a new chain, except the native token is easily 1:1 convertible to the most liquid cryptoasset (BTC) & inherits all of the brand recognition, goodwill, community, etc that comes along with bitcoin. Huge mistake to miss that opportunity.

Thank you @rohanagarwal94 for sharing your story and raising awareness that this kind of extralegal discrimination is still happening to crypto startups. Agree it is totally uncalled for. I hope you're able to get it sorted and back in business asap.

I’m debuting a split lightning payment plugin this Friday April 8th 6:30pm PT via a livestreamed DJ set from the US Mint in San Francisco 💵🏦💵 The project facilitates a new #bitcoin-based revenue stream for DJs and music producers How it works...

In practice, we’ve seen people unwilling to devote the dev time and money to developing a lot of in-demand features as bitcoin sidechains. Maybe eventually. But yes, incentives matter.

Could have used the most popular, liquid cryptocurrency (BTC) via MobileCoin-esque sidechain, rather than a new, illiquid token few people have heard of. Seignorage is a hell of a drug.

Bitcoiners should have been saying "lightning **and sidechains**" this whole time lightco.in/2020/11/08/sidech…
